What Sutter Roofing Company does

Sutter Roofing Company of Florida is a fourth-generation, family-owned commercial roofing contractor headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, operating continuously under the Sutter family since 1902 with Florida operations established in 1979. The company installs, replaces, repairs, restores, and maintains commercial roof systems across all major material types (TPO, PVC, Modified Bitumen, Built-up, Standing Seam Metal, KEE membranes, coatings) and offers specialty systems for cold storage, agri-business, food service, distribution centers, and green/solar applications. It employs over 300 people across five Florida offices (Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando, Fort Myers, Jacksonville) plus a West Virginia operation, and carries bonding capacity above $40 million aggregate, certified by all major roofing manufacturers (GAF, Elevate, Johns Manville, Fibertite, Soprema, Carlisle).

The company serves enterprise customers across healthcare (Sarasota Memorial, AdventHealth, HCA Healthcare, Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa General, Orlando Health), education (Sarasota County School Board, USF Polytechnic), industrial/logistics (Amazon Air Gateway, SYSCO), government (St. Pete-Clearwater Airport), retail, and condominium/hi-rise segments. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based installation and re-roofing contracts, supplemented by recurring maintenance contracts via its proprietary Secure Roof Management Program and 24/7 emergency repair services delivered through 30+ dedicated service crews.

Commercial activity is driven entirely by direct field sales to general contractors, construction managers, property managers, facility owners, architects, and roof consultants, supported by an online quote-request infrastructure, SEO-optimized regional pages, a content-marketing blog, and active social media presence. The leadership team combines family executives (President Brad Sutter, Chairman Stephen Sutter) with a recently professionalized executive bench (CFO Jeffrey Bloch, VP Operations Joseph Buchanczenko, VP Sales & Estimating Brandon Dennis, VP Service & Maintenance Michael Black), all promoted internally or hired from peer commercial contractors. The company holds Florida state contractor licensing and CCPA-compliant privacy practices, and Brad Sutter currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Roofing Contractors Association.
