Tampa , Florida

In the mid-80’s Red Coats expanded its custodial service operations into the rapidly growing Tampa, Florida marketplace. Emphasis was made that the growth policy for our Florida region would be one of “strict, controlled” growth. Currently Red Coats provides custodial maintenance services for approximately 2 million square feet of commercial and institutional space in Tampa. Our experienced operations management and staff headquarter at 101 East Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa is positioned to continue to expand in this fast developing region.

Our continued growth in all of our regions is a direct result of our corporate philosophy originally set forth by our founders, William F. and Barbara K. Peel, over 49 years ago to "provide our customers the standard of service desired at the fairest possible price, to ensure the continuation of our reputation for quality." To accomplish this goal, we have always recognized quality, well-trained supervision at all levels as the key ingredient for success. Our operations management staff, as well as our account managers and building supervisors, attend industry seminars and clinics to improve their supervisory and technical skills. All supervisory personnel are continually monitored and evaluated with consistent, quality oriented performance as the ultimate goal.

Red Coats' top management is not only active in the regions we service, but is committed to continuing our reputation for quality service by ensuring the controlled growth desired.
