Self Identified Competition
There are hundreds of exterior companies in Florida alone. A few of the top are American Roofing and Exteriors, Coastal Exteriors, and Southwest Exteriors. Blue Collar Exteriors of SW Florida is family owned and brings family values to every job site they step foot on. We are dedicated to making Florida's exteriors beautiful again after the devastation of hurricane Ian. We have relocated our families here, enrolled our children in school here, and hope to put profits back into the economy here. We have additional families ready to relocate with us to build this business into something that Florida can be proud of. We would love to hire additional employees from the Florida area to help to decrease unemployment numbers. The two owners of this business are exceptional bosses that treat their employees with respect. They are dedicated to training new employees to help them master a trade and build a career. Kyle and Robert (the owners) have almost 30 years of experience between them. They care about the customer as if the customer were part of the family and take care of the property as if they paid for it themselves. We plan to grow this business in the heart of SW Florida and invest in the community. They have plans to start a community soft ball team and one of their dreams is to start a charity service that teaches under privileged kids to fish. Both Kyle and Robert are avid fishermen and believe fishing is not only fun, but it teaches kids valuable lessons about life along with providing them with a skill they can use for years to come.
