FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - July 2, 2015 - PRLog -- TAMPA, Fla. – With strong demand fueling its statewide growth, Advanced Roofing, Inc., Florida’s largest commercial re-roofing contractor and  solar contractor, has acquired Roth Bros. of Florida, Inc., a roofing firm founded in 1923.

Advanced Roofing CEO Rob Kornahrens called the purchase, “a key step in streamlining infrastructure to support our pipeline of major private- and public-sector contracts. The acquisition gives us a strong, immediate foothold for servicing clients throughout the state.”  Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Advanced Roofing also has offices in Jupiter, Fort Myers, Sanford, Miami and St. Augustine.

“As TampaBay’s go-to source for roofing services for more than 42 years, Roth Bros. of Florida is a natural fit with our team,” Kornahrens said. “Our firms’ customer-focused core values and quality craftsmanship align well, and adding Roth Bros.’ people, client relationships, equipment and facilities helps position us for significant growth on Florida’s west coast.”

In expanding its newly acquired Tampa-based division, Advanced Roofing plans to retain Roth Bros.’ current staff of 27 and add more than 20 local jobs in the next 12 months, Kornahrens said. Throughout Florida, the company expects its current staff of 285 will grow to approximately 320 by year-end.
