Fort Myers-headquartered Crowther Roofing & Cooling, a family-owned company serving Southwest Florida for the last 50 years, was sold to a national roofing contractor based in Atlanta. Roofing Corp of America, a subsidiary of FirstService Corp., made the acquisition. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed by Tampa-based Skyway Capital, which served as the exclusive investment banker for the transaction. Crowther, which also has branches in Sarasota and Jupiter, has grown into one of North America’s largest specialty roofing and HVAC contractors. The company will operate as a stand-alone entity within Roofing Corp of America and will continue to be led by CEO Lee Scott Crowther, President Kevin Callans and Chief Financial Officer Dan Mazon. Crowther’s leadership team will also be retaining a significant portion of equity in the business.
