Old World Craftsmen Inc.

What Old World Craftsmen Inc. does

Old World Craftsmen Inc. is a privately held specialty roofing contractor founded in 1996 and headquartered in Lake City, Florida. The company installs and repairs premium roofing systems across nine product categories: slate, clay tile, concrete tile, metal (panels and shingles), flat roof systems (Siplast, Sarnafil PVC, Johns-Manville modified bitumen), wood shake and shingle, custom copper gutters and downspouts, roof paver systems, and composite wall panels. Its core technical differentiation is custom metal fabrication and historic restoration capability, including the use of 100-year-old salvaged slate and custom-glazed Ludowici clay tile, supported by credentials such as Ludowici Certified Crown Roofer and membership in the Slate Roofing Contractors Association of North America.

The firm operates a project-based B2B and B2C model, generating one-time revenue per installation. Its go-to-market is sales-led and field-driven: customers reach the company via website inquiries and phone, and projects are executed by multiple field crews dispatched from Lake City. The company is licensed in Florida (CCC057557, CGC1518223) and Alabama (49448), and serves a geographic footprint spanning northeast Florida (Lake City, Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Gainesville), all of Florida, and the broader Southeast United States for specialized jobs. The customer base is anchored by flagship institutional and government clients — Florida State University, University of Florida, University of North Florida, Archbold Biological Station, Vance Federal Building & Courthouse, FL Governor's Mansion, FL Supreme Court, Mission San Luis — alongside high-end residential projects in Lake City, Tampa, and Ponte Vedra Beach. Marketing relies on a portfolio website (roof.co) and light social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

The firm is small in headcount (9 stated employees) and has recorded no funding rounds, acquisitions, or material restructuring events. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Operating as a craftsmanship-led specialty contractor, the company differentiates on certifications, historic restoration expertise, and a reference portfolio that has earned multiple FRSA Shining Star Awards, including Best Overall Project Submitted from 2015.
