What Service Contracting Solutions does

Service Contracting Solutions (SCS), founded in 1982 in Fort Myers, Florida (originally as Service Painting of Florida), is a privately held commercial subcontractor providing painting, waterproofing, industrial coatings, and repaint/restoration services across South Florida. The company operates through three offices — Fort Myers (headquarters), Sarasota, and Sunrise (East Coast) — with a workforce cited at 250+ team members, delivering services through a direct project-based GTM motion targeting general contractors, property managers, commercial property owners, and industrial facility operators.

SCS's service portfolio is organized around four pillars: Commercial New Construction, Repaint & Restoration, Industrial Coatings (NACE-certified statewide for water/wastewater, petrochemical, power processing, and food processing facilities), and Waterproofing (above grade, below grade, and submerged applications). The firm holds certifications and approved-applicator status with major coating and waterproofing manufacturers including Tremco, Pli-Dek, Carl Coatings, CETCO, Sika, BASF, Sherwin Williams, and Carlisle, and maintains OSHA-30 foremen, OSHA-10 field personnel, and CPR/First-Aid training programs. The 2021 ASA Safety Award from the American Subcontractors Association provides third-party validation of the safety program.

The revenue model is project-based, quote-driven, one-time project contracting — pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers initiate engagement via a "Request a Bid" workflow on the company website. Customers are diversified across general contractors (Milmar Construction, Tandem Construction, Ajax Construction, Willis Smith Construction, JE Charlotte Construction), property managers/HOAs (Aqua at Pelican Isles), municipal/government (Doral Central Park), industrial operators, healthcare/education facilities, and commercial property owners. SCS is led by President/Owner Elizabeth Perez-Lavin (since 2012), EVP Burt Whitenight, VP of Operations Jason Fike, and a formal leadership team including Controller, Director of Marketing & Strategic Development, HR Manager, and Software & Implementation Manager. The firm is privately held with no institutional or PE ownership identified.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CertaPro Painters: National painting franchise serving residential and commercial customers across the U.S., including Florida. Overlaps with SCS on commercial repaint and new-construction painting but competes primarily through a franchise model rather than direct project delivery.
• KHS&S Contractors: One of the largest U.S. specialty contractors providing painting, coatings, and waterproofing services nationwide. Directly comparable to SCS as a broad incumbent in the same specialty trade category, with deeper geographic reach but overlapping service lines in commercial, industrial, and restoration scopes.
• Performance Contracting Group: Large U.S. specialty contractor with interior finishes, coatings, and weatherproofing divisions serving commercial and industrial customers. Comparable to SCS as a broad incumbent with overlapping specialty trade services, particularly in coatings and weatherproofing scopes.
• Five Star Painting: National residential and commercial painting franchise with significant Florida franchisee presence. Competes with SCS on commercial and multi-family/HOA repaint work, though it operates on a franchise/local-operator model.

Others

• Tremco Incorporated: Manufacturer of waterproofing, roofing, and coating systems — a key supplier and certification partner to SCS rather than a direct competitor. Included because SCS holds certified-installer status and Tremco's specifications drive significant project specifications in SCS's waterproofing work.
• The Sherwin-Williams Company: Major coatings manufacturer that supplies SCS (Sherwin Williams is a listed certified partner) and sets much of the product specification in commercial and industrial painting. Adjacent ecosystem player rather than a direct services competitor.

Direct peers

• 360° Painting: National residential and commercial painting franchise with active Florida operators. Comparable service-line overlap with SCS's repaint and commercial painting business in the same Florida end-markets.
• Baker Painting & Waterproofing: Florida-based painting and waterproofing contractor serving commercial and residential customers. Direct regional competitor to SCS in repaint, restoration, and waterproofing across the Florida market.
• Woodhart Group: Regional painting and specialty coatings contractor serving the U.S. Southeast, with overlapping capabilities in commercial painting, industrial coatings, and waterproofing. Comparable in service mix and regional Southeast focus to SCS.
• Aegis Coatings Group: Commercial painting and specialty coatings contractor operating in the Southeast U.S. Directly comparable on commercial painting, waterproofing, and protective coatings delivered to general contractors and property owners.
