FirstService Expands Commercial Roofing Platform
June 06 2024 - 7:30AM
FirstService Corporation (TSX and NASDAQ: FSV) (“FirstService”)
announced today that its subsidiary, Roofing Corp of America
(“RCA”), has acquired Crowther Roofing and Cooling (“Crowther”) and
Hamilton Roofing (“Hamilton”). The additions of Crowther and
Hamilton provide RCA with a strong new presence in the important
Florida market and will collectively add more than $150 million in
annual revenues. The existing management teams of both businesses
have retained minority equity interests and will continue to
oversee their respective day-to-day operations. Terms of the two
transactions were not disclosed.
Headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida and founded
in 1974, Crowther is the leading roofing services provider in
Southwest Florida, with a particular focus on the commercial end
market. Crowther also provides complementary HVAC maintenance and
mechanical contracting services. Crowther operates from three
regional branch locations and employs approximately 750 roofing
installation and service technicians.
Established in 1983 with its head office in
Malabar, Florida, Hamilton is the leading provider of commercial
roofing services across Eastern Florida’s Space Coast. Hamilton has
developed long-established relationships with major blue-chip
commercial clients spanning the government, aerospace and education
sectors.
“Florida is one of the largest roofing markets
in North America and a strategic growth priority for us. These two
transactions provide RCA with an immediate significant presence in
this key geographic region,” said Randy Korach, CEO of RCA. “We are
excited to add Crowther and Hamilton to RCA’s growing family of
roofing services brands and welcome their leaders and teams to our
organization.”
