Sergio L. Torrente, president and owner at Casa Mia Services, has been recognized by Top Business Owners for dedication, achievements, and leadership in the construction industry.
Mr. Torrente’s exceptional career is distinguished by nearly four decades of experience in construction and entrepreneurship. Since 2007, he has excelled as the president and owner of Casa Mia Services in Winter Park, Florida. Under his guidance, the aforementioned company has become known for its expertise in ground-up construction, remodeling, structural repairs and a wide variety of projects including residential renovations, commercial build-outs, retail spaces, new homes and accessory dwelling units. Mr. Torrente manages and mentors a team of three individuals aspiring to become general contractors, reflecting his commitment to developing future leaders within the field.
Casa Mia Services’ reputation for excellence is underscored by its repeated recognition as Best Builder in Winter Park for over six consecutive years. After four years of this distinction, Casa Mia Services was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2025. These honors are particularly meaningful to Mr. Torrente because they are determined by local residents in one of the most discerning communities in the region. The company’s ongoing expansion efforts include plans to establish an additional office in Sarasota to capitalize on emerging opportunities while maintaining a strong presence in Orlando’s competitive market.
Prior to founding Casa Mia Services, Mr. Torrente built a foundation in construction from a young age. At eight years old, he began mixing concrete alongside his uncles and continued working with them until he turned eighteen. By sixteen, he had already launched his first handyman business, employing classmates to handle landscaping and repair projects—many of which were for properties managed by his mother, a realtor. This early exposure provided practical skills and an entrepreneurial mindset that would shape his future endeavors.
After relocating to Florida during a period when sinkholes became prevalent in Tampa, Mr. Torrente leveraged his background as a geologist to assist citizens with sinkhole assessments. This experience led him back into the field of construction, where he established a landscaping company and worked as a handyman before securing contracts that paved the way for Casa Mia Services. Throughout his career, Mr. Torrente has also maintained his involvement with industry organizations such as the Hispanic Business Initiative Fund and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Before embarking upon his professional path, Mr. Torrente graduated with a bachelor’s degree in geology with scholarship support from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas in 1994. The scientific rigor and analytical skills developed during his studies have informed his approach to structural assessment and problem-solving within construction projects.
For eight years, Mr. Torrente has volunteered as a leader and missionary through Builders International and Faith Assembly of God, contributing to projects in Guatemala, Honduras, Poland, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba. His commitment to those in need extends locally through support for veterans via partnerships with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), where Casa Mia Services provides handyman services and electrical improvements at various locations throughout Florida. Mr. Torrente values these opportunities to give back to those who have served their country and strives to create welcoming environments for veterans facing challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
Recognition for Mr. Torrente’s leadership includes not only industry accolades but also honors from faith-based organizations such as leadership awards from his church. These distinctions reflect both professional achievement and personal integrity. Mr. Torrente attributes his success to faith in God, unwavering support from his wife—who has played an instrumental role managing financial aspects—and the loyalty of his staff whose collective effort drives Casa Mia Services forward.
Looking toward the future, Mr. Torrente aims to share his extensive knowledge with younger generations entering the trades by mentoring aspiring professionals throughout Florida. He envisions expanding Casa Mia into multiple offices operating collaboratively rather than as franchises, creating opportunities for others while maintaining high standards synonymous with the company’s name. His children are actively involved in the business with plans for succession that will continue his legacy of quality craftsmanship and ethical leadership. Through decades of dedicated service across construction management, mentorship and civic engagement, Mr. Torrente continues to make a lasting impact on both his industry and community while striving to provide access and opportunity for future generations.
