2026 milestone strengthens long-term stability, accountability, and
continuity for clients
Advanced Roofing Inc. today announced a significant milestone in its history: the company is now employee-owned, reinforcing its long-term commitment to stability, accountability, and uninterrupted service for clients as it enters 2026.
Founded in 1983, Advanced Roofing Inc. has grown from a single pickup truck into a fully integrated organization serving clients throughout Florida through its commercial roofing, HVAC, and solar divisions — including Advanced Air Systems (established in 1994) and Advanced Green Technologies (launched in 2007). Today, the Advanced family of businesses operates across seven locations statewide and employs more than 750 professionals.
Staying Independent in a Rapidly Consolidating Industry
The transition comes at a time when much of the commercial construction and roofing industry is experiencing rapid consolidation through private equity acquisitions. Advanced Roofing’s decision to become employee-owned reflects a deliberate choice to remain independent, preserve its culture, and ensure long-term continuity for clients.
“This milestone is about securing the future of the company while honoring the people who built it,” said Rob Kornahrens, Founder and CEO of the Advanced family of businesses. “Employee ownership allows us to stay true to who we are — independent, client-focused, and committed to long-term relationships. It ensures the same teams our clients trust today remain personally invested in delivering the accountability, craftsmanship, and service they expect — now and for generations to come.”
What This Means for Clients
For clients, the transition strengthens what matters most: consistency, stability, and confidence in the people behind every project. Advanced Roofing’s leadership, service teams, and project personnel remain unchanged, guided by the same values and standards that have defined the company for more than four decades.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
Under the employee-owned structure, eligible team members participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), receiving an ownership stake in the company in addition to existing retirement benefits. This structure allows employees to build long-term financial value while reinforcing a culture of shared responsibility, accountability, and pride of ownership across every role — from field crews to project managers and support teams.
“Our ownership model may be new, but our standards are not,” Kornahrens added. “Our clients will continue working with the same people, guided by the same values — now strengthened by an ownership mindset that encourages long-term thinking and care in every decision.”
The Advanced family of businesses remains focused on investing in safety, training, and operational excellence while delivering dependable commercial roofing, HVAC, and solar solutions across Florida.
