Independent recognition adds to a growing list of 2026 local honors for the Orlando roofing company.

ORLANDO, FL – September 16, 2026 – Thomas Roofing and Repair has been named one of the top roofing contractors in Orlando, FL by ThreeBestRated.com, an independent evaluation service that scores local businesses through a 50 point inspection covering customer reviews, complaint history, licensing, and general business practices. The recognition adds to a run of 2026 honors for the company, which has also been named a Gold Winner in the Orlando Sentinel’s Central Florida Favorites program, recognized as Best Roof Company and a Gold Winner in Orlando Weekly’s 2026 Best of Orlando awards, and named a Gold Winner in the separate Orlando’s Best awards program. The recognitions arrive during a period of increased demand for roof repair and replacement services across the Orlando metro area.

ThreeBestRated’s process differs from a typical online directory listing. Rather than accepting paid placements, the service identifies and evaluates local businesses using its own research team, then narrows the field to the top three in each category based on reputation, history, complaints, ratings, satisfaction, trust, and general excellence.

Industry observers note that homeowner reliance on third party verification has grown steadily as roofing scams and unlicensed contractors continue to draw attention from Florida regulators. Independent recognition programs, ranging from inspection based directories to local media reader polls, have become a meaningful reference point for homeowners comparing contractors before committing to a repair or full roof replacement. Central Florida’s active storm season and aging housing stock have kept roofing demand elevated throughout 2026, making trust signals like these increasingly relevant to how homeowners make hiring decisions.

For homeowners evaluating options, choosing a roofing contractor in Orlando, FL with a documented track record and transparent licensing has become a bigger part of the decision than price alone. Thomas Roofing and Repair holds Florida Certified Roofing Contractor License #CCC1333138 and has built its reputation on residential and commercial roof repair, replacement, and installation work across shingle, tile, metal, and flat roofing systems.

Beyond the awards themselves, Thomas Roofing and Repair points to its day to day service standards as the foundation for the recognition. The company’s crews handle residential and commercial projects across shingle, tile, metal, and low slope flat roofing systems, and its production team coordinates scheduling, permitting, and material logistics for each job. Central Florida’s hurricane season, which typically runs from June through November, keeps demand high for both emergency repairs and planned roof replacements, and the company has structured its crews, inspectors, and sales staff to respond during peak periods without sacrificing the documentation and communication homeowners expect throughout a project.

The company’s presence as a roofing contractor in Orlando continues to expand across the Central Florida market, with service coverage spanning Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Polk, and Lake counties.

“Being recognized by our own community means a great deal to our team,” said Matthew Thomas, Owner of Thomas Roofing and Repair. “We built this company on honest communication and quality workmanship, and seeing that reflected in these awards tells us our approach is working for the homeowners we serve.”

Thomas Roofing and Repair also offers its Blue Shield Loyalty Program to qualifying customers, which includes free annual roof inspections, a seven year workmanship warranty, free emergency tarping, priority scheduling, a five percent service discount, and a $300 referral bonus. The company frames the program as part of its broader approach to long term customer relationships rather than one time transactions, an approach that aligns with the criteria used by recognition programs like ThreeBestRated, which weighs customer satisfaction and repeat business alongside licensing and complaint history. Homeowners considering a roof repair or replacement can ask about eligibility for the program when requesting an inspection or estimate.

The 2026 recognitions follow a year of continued growth for the company, which has completed more than 1,500 roofing projects since its founding in 2018. Thomas Roofing and Repair maintains CertainTeed ShingleMaster Pro certification, HAAG Certified Residential Roof Inspector training, and OSHA 30 hour safety training across its crews, credentials the company points to as part of its commitment to consistent workmanship standards on every project.

Holiday Ice engineers explain when a 6,500-pound daily ice supply is the right specification for high‑volume industrial operations.

Longwood, FL, United States, 29th Sep 2026 — For high‑volume processors, the difference between a profitable shift and a spoiled load often comes down to one specification: how many pounds of ice per day the operation can reliably produce on‑site. A 6,500‑pound‑per‑day industrial ice machine has become a common benchmark for mid‑to‑large seafood, meat, produce, dairy, and beverage production, and Holiday Ice, Inc., a manufacturer of Arctic‑Temp industrial ice machines, is helping buyers understand how to size that capacity correctly.

The Sizing Formula & Hard-Cracked Ice Demand

Ice demand is rarely guesswork. A common industrial rule is: daily ice need (lbs) = peak usage rate (lbs/hour) × operating hours × a 1.2 safety factor. Under that formula, a seafood processor running 300 lbs/hour across a 16‑hour shift needs roughly 5,760 lbs of capacity. Which is why the 6,500 lb/day tier, plus buffer, is so frequently specified.

The Engineering Behind The Machine 

Holiday Ice meets that tier with its Arctic‑Temp vertical‑tube design, built in T‑304 stainless steel with no moving parts in the freezing zone. The vertical‑tube evaporator freezes water on both inner and outer surfaces for efficient heat exchange and durable, low‑maintenance operation in demanding plant environments.

“Buyers don’t wake up wanting an ice machine — they want a production line that never stops for a temperature problem,” said Lauren Harbit, Representative of Holiday Ice. “Our job is to help them right‑size capacity to their real throughput, then build a machine that runs for decades with parts they can actually source. That’s what more than 60 years in this business has taught us.”

Quality Assurance and Global Reach 

Every Holiday Ice industrial ice machine is factory‑assembled, leak‑ and vacuum‑tested, charged, and calibrated before shipment, and the company ships and supports its Arctic‑Temp equipment worldwide from Longwood.

About Holiday Ice Inc.

Holiday Ice, Inc. is a veteran-owned manufacturer of Arctic-Temp® industrial ice machines, producing 2,500–10,000 lbs of ice daily since 1959. Built from Type-304 stainless steel with no moving parts in the freezing zone, ice machines serve seafood, meat, poultry, and food service industries worldwide.
