Beacon Roofing acquires commercial roofing distributor

Peabody, Mass.-based Beacon Roofing Supply has announced its acquisition of Phoenix Sales, a distributor of commercial roofing systems and accessories with four branches in Tampa, Orlando, Pompano and Fort Myers, Fla., and sales of about $20 million in 2009.

Scott Hall and Jim Coston, co-founders of Phoenix, will remain part of Beacon's regional leadership team.

"We are very excited to join Beacon as it expands its presence in the Florida market,” Hall said. “Joining Beacon will enable Phoenix to better serve our customers in many ways, including through expanded product offerings."

Paul Isabella, Beacon's president and COO, said: "We now have a strong commercial roofing presence in Central Florida to accompany our recently acquired residential roofing business."
