Sarasota window company declares bankruptcy, owes more than $1.2M

The owner of a now-defunct Sarasota window and door company has filed for bankruptcy, and Sarasota County has revoked his ability to pull permits in the county following a disciplinary hearing. 

The two moves are the latest developments in the case of the company, Sash & Sill, and its owner, Todd Hoch, after he informed customers in mid-July he was going out of business. The unraveling of Sash & Sill led to dozens of upset customers who have lost thousands of dollars in deposits. Those clients sparked law enforcement investigations at the local and state levels.
