Sutter Roofing – Florida FL

Five Generations Building Florida’s Roofs

The Sutter family started fixing roofs way back in 1902, making them one of the oldest roofing companies in America. What began as a small family operation has grown into something pretty impressive – 120+ years later, they’re still at it.

The Florida operation kicked off in 1979, and since then they’ve built up four locations across the state. Doug and Brad Sutter represent the current generation running things, keeping those family values alive while managing 300+ employees spread throughout Florida.

It’s not every day you meet a company that’s been around longer than most people’s great-grandparents. Five generations of Sutters have kept the same basic approach – show up, do quality work, and take care of customers. That consistency shows when you’re talking about projects that happened decades ago and they’re still standing strong.

Where They Work in Florida

Sutter operates out of four main spots across Florida – Tampa, Orlando, Fort Myers, and Sarasota. Having crews in all these locations means they can get to you faster, especially when storms hit and everyone needs help at once.

Tampa office sits on Maislin Drive and handles a lot of the central Florida action. Orlando covers that whole metro area including all the theme parks and hotels. Fort Myers takes care of Southwest Florida, while Sarasota manages the Gulf Coast communities.

With 300 employees spread across these locations, they’ve got the manpower to tackle big projects without leaving smaller customers hanging. Whether you’re running a warehouse in Tampa or managing a condo building in Sarasota, they’ve got crews nearby.

Commercial Flat Roofing Specialists

When your business roof starts leaking, everything stops. Computers get unplugged, employees stand around with buckets, customers avoid your store. Sutter gets that, which is why they focus heavily on commercial flat roofing systems.

They work with all the major flat roof types – TPO systems that reflect Florida’s brutal sun, EPDM rubber membranes that last forever, modified bitumen for tougher applications, and built-up roofing when you need maximum durability.

Their crews handle everything from small office buildings to massive warehouses, hospitals, schools, government facilities, and high-rise condos. They’ve worked on some pretty challenging projects – like that time a small aircraft skimmed across an elementary school roof and they had to figure out emergency repairs while keeping kids safe.

Healthcare facilities, cold storage buildings, food service operations – these places can’t afford to shut down for roof work. Sutter’s teams know how to work around business operations, often doing the heavy work during off-hours.

Handling All Kinds of Buildings

Beyond flat roofing, they tackle pretty much every type of commercial building you can think of. Retail centers, government offices, educational facilities, condominiums, industrial plants – if it’s got a roof, they’ve probably worked on one like it.

Condo boards across Florida pick them for three main reasons. First, they make sure new roofs meet all those changing insurance requirements and building codes without hassles. Second, their roof systems handle Florida’s harsh climate while cutting cooling costs. Third, they focus on long-term savings over cheap initial bids.

Schools present unique challenges because you can’t disrupt classes. John Ready at Sarasota Memorial Hospital has used them for 19 years because they understand how hospitals work – no room for mistakes when people’s lives are on the line.

They also handle LEED-certified green roofing projects, sustainability initiatives, and all the latest roofing technologies. Whether it’s new construction, complete replacement, or restoration work, they’ve got the experience.

Florida Weather Reality

After 45 years working Florida roofs, they’ve seen every kind of weather this state can throw at buildings. Hurricane seasons that make property managers lose sleep. Daily afternoon thunderstorms that flood parking lots. That relentless sun that bakes everything year-round.

Their teams stock up on emergency materials before storm season hits. When hurricanes threaten, they position crews strategically so they can respond quickly once conditions are safe.

Safety training happens monthly because Doug and Brad Sutter know that working on roofs during Florida weather requires constant vigilance. They invest in cutting-edge equipment and stick to Florida’s strict building codes.

The women on their team excel behind the scenes – leadership, management, accounting, customer service, administrative work. These folks drive success through the seamless execution of roofing projects across Florida.
