About Us

Our History

The Founder:

Staley’s was founded in June of 1941 by Alexander E. Staley and was first located at 115 E. Main St. in Flushing.

Flushing Roots:

In 1946 Al purchased the current location at 121 N. Cherry St. in Flushing, at which time Staley’s became an authorized Lennox Dealer. During these first few years, as the business grew, Al incorporated the business to include his brothers August and Robert. During the mid 1950’s, Al’s three sons Richard, Gerald, and William went to work for the business.

Expansion:

In 1958, Al purchased a second Lennox Dealership in Boyton Beach, Florida which was run by Gerald and William. Gerald eventually purchased the Florida business from his father and William returned to the Flushing business. Al purchased Flushing Plumbing & Heating in 1966 and merged the business with Staley’s. After the death of Al in 1970, William bought the business. Over the next several years, William’s three sons Paul, Greg, and Scott went to work for the family business. In June of 2005, William retired and today his three sons own and operate the business. In these current years the fourth generation is starting to work in the company.

Today:

We have grown over the years from a company that in 1941 had a 2,000 square foot office/shop, 2-trucks, and a couple of employees to today, a 10,000 square foot office/showroom/shop, 22 trucks, and 32 employees.

Our client base in southern Genesee County has grown to the point where we needed to open an office in Fenton at 2740 Grange Hall Rd.
