At CES Commercial Roofing, your roof is managed by a team with 125+ years of combined experience from both the manufacturer and contractor sides of the industry. Built across 15 million square feet of Florida commercial roofing from Tampa to Orlando, that knowledge translates to better product recommendations, more accurate assessments, and stronger warranties.
Most commercial roofing contractors build their experience entirely on the installation side. CES Commercial Roofing’s team includes members who have held roles at major roofing manufacturers before joining the contractor side. This means the people evaluating your roof understand how products are designed and tested, and how they perform in real-world Florida conditions.
Held roles at five major roofing manufacturers (Henry Company, Holcim/Elevate, Gaco Western, Hempel, and Sika) before joining CES. Brings granular product knowledge and manufacturer-level quality standards.
Prior roles include Derbigum (Senior Manager of Technical Services), Smith Seckman Reid (building enclosure consulting), North American Roofing, and his own firm, Specialized Roofing. Combines contractor field work with manufacturer technical knowledge.
Career background in industrial manufacturing, procurement, and contract negotiation (metals, piping, valves, and fittings). Brings cost-conscious project management and is frequently mentioned by name in customer reviews for his helpfulness.
Senior program management at T-Mobile For Business and field marketing at Sprint. Brings corporate-level operational discipline and customer experience standards to CES’s operations.
Team members who have worked inside manufacturer organizations know which systems perform best in Florida’s heat, humidity, and hurricane conditions.
Deep pattern recognition across decades of commercial projects prevents installation errors and product misapplications that lead to premature failures.
If a roof can be restored at roughly one-third the cost of replacement, CES will tell you. If it needs to come off, they will tell you that too.
CES holds certifications with 14+ roofing manufacturers, enabling system warranties that cover both labor and materials.
The total professional experience across CES Commercial Roofing’s team members adds up to more than 125 years. This includes people who have worked as roofing manufacturers, technical services managers, building enclosure consultants, and field contractors. The figure reflects accumulated knowledge across the organization from companies like Henry Company, Holcim/Elevate, Sika, Gaco Western, Derbigum, and several contracting firms.
Roofing manufacturers design and test their products under specific conditions and installation requirements. A contractor whose team includes former manufacturer employees understands those requirements at a deeper level than a contractor who only reads the spec sheets. This translates to installations that meet or exceed manufacturer standards, which is a prerequisite for full system warranties covering both labor and materials. CES can also catch product misapplications and specification issues that less experienced contractors would miss.
Yes. CES is headquartered in Palm Harbor with an additional office in Tampa and serves commercial properties across the state, including Orlando, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Lakeland, and surrounding areas. For east coast Florida projects, the general threshold is 10,000 square feet and above.
CES provides silicone coating restorations, SPF (spray polyurethane foam) roofing, TPO installations, metal roofing, modified bitumen, commercial roof repairs and maintenance, and emergency dry-in services. The team’s depth of experience across multiple roofing systems means they can recommend the right solution based on your building, budget, and long-term goals.
CES is 100% commercial. There is no residential division. Every crew member, every piece of equipment, and every process is built for commercial roofing. Commercial and residential roofing involve different materials, different building codes, and different installation methods. The company carries standalone workers’ compensation insurance covering every person on a CES jobsite, and every team member’s experience is in the commercial space.
CES Commercial Roofing offers free, no-obligation roof evaluations for commercial properties across Florida. Call to connect with a team that brings manufacturer knowledge and contractor field experience to every assessment.
