About Us
Our Beginning
- Burkett Stucco Inc., was established in 1973 by Donald L. Burkett with a rented mixer, 1965 Ford van, and $400.00.
- A few months into the operation of patching existing structures and small addition stucco work, William (Bill) Pearson was hired as the first official employee, who has passed away in 2016.
Our History
- BSI moved into the housing stucco market and acquired the contract for all of the stucco work at Sun City Center with W.G. Development and enjoyed 15 years of success. This success continued with other housing icons such as US Homes, Lennar, Karpay Associates, to name a few.
- BSI moved into multifamily including metal studs and drywall in the 80's. BSI survived the 80’s and 90’s with the down turn in the economy and went into a 15 year trek through the Caribbean and Central America doing exterior building systems and finally full building projects with hurricane building systems.
Continued Success
- BSI became the worldwide expert with these systems, and in 1990 was approached by former President Jimmy Carter to become part of his senior staff for Jimmy Carter work projects, enjoying three years of service.
- Throughout the 90’s BSI made a transition to total commercial multi-family, high rise, mid rise, and interior buildout.
- From this point until now BSI has grown to one of the largest regional exterior envelope, interior buildout companies in the Florida market. In 2002 BSI invented Rhino Wall Systems for an addition to our work expertise.
50 years later BSI is stronger than ever and operating out of the Tampa Bay area.
