Springer-Peterson

What Springer-Peterson does

Springer-Peterson is a commercial and industrial roofing contractor founded in 1981 and headquartered at 4410 Maine Avenue in Lakeland, Florida. The company installs and services asphalt, single-ply (TPO, PVC, EPDM), and metal roof systems for commercial, industrial, and retail customers across Central Florida, including cities such as Tampa, Orlando, Lakeland, Gainesville, St. Petersburg, Ocoee, and Auburndale. An in-house fabrication division provides welding, custom metal fabrication, and custom engineered design solutions, supported by General Contractor, Certified Construction Manager, and Certified Welding Inspector credentials. The company operates the second-largest roofing service department in Central Florida, running 21 fully stocked service vehicles and a 24/7 emergency leak response capability.

The business model combines one-time project-based installation revenue with recurring subscription revenue from the proprietary Roof Shield preventative maintenance program (Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers) and on-demand fabrication and service work. Pricing is quote-based across project installation, contract service, and emergency response engagements. Direct enterprise sales target property owners, property managers, and industrial facility operators; the company serves hospitals (Lakeland Regional Medical Center), defense (Lockheed Martin), retail chains (Publix, JCPenney, Rooms To Go), education (Hillsborough County Schools, University of Florida School of Architecture), and food manufacturing (Tampa Maid Foods, Colorado Boxed Beef). Marketing relies on the company website, social media (Facebook, Twitter), community involvement programs such as SP Gives Back, and trade association engagement through FRSA.

Springer-Peterson was a wholly owned subsidiary of Crowther Roofing and Sheet Metal of Florida, Inc. until September 17, 2025, when Roofing Corp of America, a subsidiary of FirstService Corporation (TSX: FSV), acquired the company alongside A-1 All American Roofing Co. Management retained minority equity and continues to oversee operations. A leadership transition on July 1, 2024 elevated Daniel Boatwright (29-year veteran) from Vice President to President; founder Rob Springer became Chairman of the Board. In February 2025 the company launched Pathways, an internal apprenticeship program to build trade labor capacity. The company is self-described as a Top 50 roofing contractor nationally and has received multiple FRSA S.T.A.R. Awards from 2017 through 2020 across low slope, sustainable, specialty metal, steep slope, and community service categories.
