Eddie Toledo, Territory Manager for SE Florida APOC Territory Manager and South Florida native Eddie Toledo began his roofing career nearly 20 years ago as a senior sales representative for a roof tile manufacturer. Eddie has seen what extreme heat, damaging UV rays and severe thunderstorms can do to a roof. As a result, Eddie has become a huge proponent of roof restoration with the APOC Silicone Roof Systems. “APOC Silicone Roof Systems have proven to be high performance, cost effective solutions for so many commercial properties here in South Florida,” said Eddie. “And not only are the products really easy to work, they are also manufactured here in Florida and supported with a robust distributor network, so APOC systems deliver a win-win solution for contractors too.” Eddie is a Hurricane at heart, having studied pre-med at the University of Miami.
