QuestionsAbout the company
Who founded Middle Bay Homes?
Cory Frier and Will Daniel. They started Middle Bay because they kept seeing Tampa families pay luxury prices for homes that were not built with care. Both founders put their names and licenses on every build. Middle Bay is part of Building Easier® Construction Group, the Tampa-based parent company that also runs Bay Area Exteriors.
How much experience do you have?
50 years combined. Cory Frier has 30 years in the industry and Will Daniel has 20. Before Middle Bay, Will spent 9 years working at James Hardie and Cory spent 4, so 13 years between them at the company that makes the siding we install.
Who is the licensed contractor on my job?
Cory Frier is the licensed qualifier behind every Middle Bay build. He holds Florida’s Certified General Contractor license (CGC1539414) and Certified Roofing Contractor license (CCC1337297). Will Daniel holds a Florida Residential Contractor license (CRC1332115). The same licensed team runs the job from architecture to keys.
How can I verify your contractor licenses?
Search the license numbers on the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s license lookup at myfloridalicense.com. Our numbers are CGC1539414 and CCC1337297 (Cory Frier) and CRC1332115 (Will Daniel).
Do you live in the neighborhoods you build in?
Yes. Will built his own family’s home in Seminole Heights, and it is on our About page. We build where we live, lot by lot and street by street.
What does Building Easier® mean?
It is the idea behind the company. Construction is harder than it needs to be, for homeowners and for the people doing the work. We make it easier with one team from architecture to keys, exact specifications, weekly walk-throughs, and a schedule we actually keep.
