Tsampas named president of Skyline Restoration

John Tsampas, Skyline Restoration's head of business development for 25 years, has just been named president of the company that he helped catapult to the top of the building envelope industry. Tsampas was one of Skyline's original founders in 1989, together with John Kalafatis and Bill Pierrakeas. He has helped Skyline grow from a small operation grossing roughly $500,000/yr. to one of the largest and most comprehensive full-service exterior restoration firms in the metro area with revenues over $66 million and a full-time staff of 70 plus a workforce that can grow to 700. One of Skyline's most prestigious projects, a job which Tsampas secured, is the $5 million complete exterior restoration of the Plaza Hotel which was finished on time and on budget. "To work on restoring one of the city's most iconic buildings was tremendous," Tsampas said. Another major project was the CBS headquarters, known as the "Black Rock" building, also an immense accomplishment. "We're at a point now where we are able to tackle the most complex megaprojects anywhere in New York," Tsampas added.
