SAN PEDRO, Calif. — Chandler’s Roofing, a roofing and solar contractor serving Los Angeles and Orange County, has announced its acquisition of Handley Development, Inc. and its appointment of Trevor Leeds to Partner and President.

Leeds has worked with Chandler’s Roofing for the past three years and contributed to the company’s growth, including being named the Residential Roofing Contractor of the Year by Roofing Contractor Magazine in 2011, “Best of the Best in the Roofing Industry” in 2012, and a third consecutive Angie’s List Super Service Award.

Prior to Chandler’s Roofing, Leeds served as an investor, advisor and consultant to several roofing company start-ups, including Eagleview Technology, ArmorLite Roofing Technology and RoofersCoffeeShop.com. Leeds has built a reputation with many partners, manufacturers, distributors and clients, including GAF, Boral, IB Roof Systems, G&F Roof Supply, Pacific Supply and OneRoof Energy.

“The bulk of my professional career, I gravitated toward building lasting relationships as foundations for partnerships. Getting to know the people as well as the value proposition for a strategic partnership are often equally important, especially in a niche industry like roofing and solar. Along the way I have had the privilege of connecting with some great people and built some terrific relationships that will serve Chandler’s Roofing well. Brian has done a terrific job of laying the foundation for Chandler’s Roofing, and when he approached me about joining the company, he presented me with a terrific business, with an outstanding reputation in which to build upon,” Leeds said.

“Trevor has always had a genuine interest in growing businesses within the roofing and solar industry. We are excited that not only will he help grow Chandler’s Roofing, but that same passion will help serve our manufacturing partners in growing their products and services to our dedicated client base,” CEO and Owner Brian Hicks said.

Adding to its growth in 2012, Chandler’s Roofing has acquired local Orange County roofing company, Handley Development, Inc., in hopes of adding to the strength of its business and positioning itself for expansion opportunities in Southern California.
