Raise the roof

Here's a good sign the rebound in the economy has some heft: A roofing company, decimated by the recession, now receives regular calls from potential buyers.

But executives with Fort Myers-based Crowther Roofing & Sheet Metal of Florida aren't interested in selling the business. Not, at least, until an acquisition proposal makes “perfect sense,” says CEO Lee Scott Crowther, son of company chairman Lee J. Crowther.

“I have a successful business with no debt,” he says. “I don't have to do anything.”
