Sarasota, Florida – September 22, 2025 – Commercial Residential Aluminum (CRA), a Florida-based leader in premium outdoor aluminum product solutions, recently announced the acquisition of American Lightscapes, a leading LED lighting design and installation company. Finalized on August 21, 2025, this move bolsters CRA’s position as the one-stop leader in outdoor living offerings across the state and beyond.
CRA identified American Lightscapes as a strong addition in response to a growing demand from homeowners and builders for integrated lighting that makes enclosures, lanais, and patios safer and more visually striking.
“CRA has always focused on creating outdoor spaces that blend beauty, durability, and function,” said Larry Hayden, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “American Lightscapes is a leader in this niche and bringing them into the CRA family allows us to meet that demand with proven expertise. Together, we deliver a complete package, from structure to finish, so customers no longer need to manage multiple vendors.”
Operations will remain seamless for employees and customers alike. The founder of American Lightscapes will remain actively involved, overseeing innovation, training, and integration of lighting into CRA’s product lineup.
“Customers of both companies will continue to work with the same trusted teams and receive the same high level of service they’ve come to expect,” added Hayden. “For employees, the acquisition means additional support, resources, and growth opportunities, but no disruption day-to-day. Bringing together two companies with shared values of innovation and customer care sets the stage for long-term success.”
Customers and partners can expect expanded product offerings, bundled packages, and even greater value as CRA integrates American Lightscapes’ innovative systems. Service quality will only increase with combined resources, training, and support systems.
