Blow the doors off

A move to a new corporate office off Fruitville Road in Sarasota has been a big relief for Crown Roofing Crown Roofing. With 8,000 square feet and an acre of parking, it better suits the needs of this fast-growing roofing contractor than its previous space, which had only 3,000 square feet and limited parking.

“We've been able to spread people out so they can work more efficiently and not be stacked on top of each other,” says company co-founder and President Guil Geneau. “Moving into this office has been a godsend. It's always a pain to move, but everyone is so much better for it.”

Efficiency is important for the firm, which hit $50 million in sales in 2016 and expects to grow that number by at least 10% in 2017. Some of that growth will come from its Miami-area office, which recently moved to bigger space in Pompano Beach and started adding residential clients to its previously commercial-only customer base.
