These Days Sperry & Associates is Taking Our Show on the Road More Than Ever

fedex west palm We’re very proud of the reputation that we have earned in this area over the past 37 years, but apparently the word is getting out and teal and white Sperry Construction signs seem to be sprouting up throughout Florida and Georgia.

"We are getting more and more calls for projects outside the Tallahassee area," explains Jay Bostwick, Sperry Vice-President of Business Development. "We've been working in Panama City, West Palm Beach, -- going north we've recently finished up on a project in Cairo.

Sperry Is Being Awarded a Growing Number of Public Sector Projects

A long time favorite of private commercial developers and business owners, Sperry is gaining the attention of a growing number of government agencies.

Over the past two years we have definitely seen an increase in the number of public sector projects that we are asked to participate in.

In fact, within the past 12 month Sperry has provided construction services for the City of Tallahassee, Leon County, the Leon County School Board and a number of other public agencies.

We Never Get Those Working in the Car Wash Blues

When the folks that turned Super Lube into a household name from Florida to Illinois called to say they wanted some help with their Super Suds concept, you need to be ready to go to work.

Our first project for Super Suds was to demolish the old Sonny’s Restaurant on Apalachee Parkway and construct a 3,000 sq. ft. drive through car wash from the ground up.

Sperry Completes New AT&T Cellular Outlet at Park Avenue & Magnolia Drive

ATT building It’s been a few years since we finished the Krispy Kreme building at the corner of Magnolia Drive and Park Avenue. We’ve been glazed doughnuts fans every since so when we got the chance to build the new AT&T store on the opposite corner we looked at it as a sweet business opportunity.

"This was not only an interesting project from a construction standpoint," says Jon Savoy, Sperry project manager, "but coffee breaks were much better than at most job sites."

The 6,000 sq. ft. metal-framed building features tall display windows and a copper clad tower angled off the corner of the property. The storm water system presented the greatest challenge on this project. In order to accommodate a building this size on the site and leave room for parking, the retaining pond was actually located under the front patio.

"Another challenge was satisfying the concerns of homeowners in the neighborhood," said Savoy. "We used down lighting to minimize intrusion into neighboring areas and even selected colors that were predominant in nearby buildings so that the building would blend into the surroundings."

Sperry Gets the Call to Build New Subway Café

In the heart of Tallahassee’s downtown in the New Alliance Center on North Monroe Street is the new Subway Café, the ubiquitous nationwide sandwich purveyors first upscale, metropolitan restaurant concept in the region.

“This is decidedly more urbane than your typical Subway,” explains Jon Savoy, the Sperry project manager who was charged with the 1600 sq. ft. build out. “It has tile floors, stone walls, more modern trims and paint colors.”

Building downtown presents challenges in terms of moving and storing materials and minimizing the disturbance to existing tenants.

Big Wind Takes Roof Off Sperry Puts It Back On

Apalachee Elementary School roof
During one of last year’s big storm, a high wind tore a large section of the roof off of Apalachee Elementary School exposing metal trusses and exposing air ducting. Temporary repairs could only buy a little time.

The damage was so extensive that the Leon County School Board turned to Sperry to replace the old damaged roof with a brand new 50,000 sq. ft. metal roof and to repair other structural damage that resulted from the storm.

Work Starts On A New Uber Modern BMW Showroom

There’s a lot going on at the Capital EuroCars and Sperry has been in the middle of all of it. Not too long along ago we completed a new, modern showroom for the Mercedes line, and recently we went to work on a new two-story, 10,000 sq. ft. BMW showroom and sales center.

The building features an aluminum composite exterior with tall glass showroom windows. Inside are glass partitions, sleek furnishings and an extensive lighting package. The showroom also calls for dull finish ceramic floors and non-reflective ceilings so that when customers walk in, the only thing that shines are the cars.
