Burlington Capital Acquires Precision Garage Door Franchise in Consolidation Play
Event summary
- Boxwood Partners advised RS Boes Holdings, a multi-territory Precision Garage Door Service franchisee, on its sale to Burlington Capital Partners and RF Investment Partners.
- RS Boes Holdings operates across four states and five markets, employing approximately 100 technicians and achieving double-digit organic revenue growth.
- The acquisition marks Boxwood Partners' 10th transaction in the garage services sector and 13th residential services franchisee deal.
- Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The big picture
The deal highlights the continued attractiveness of essential home services franchises to private equity, driven by recurring revenue streams and a favorable demographic tailwind of an aging housing stock. Burlington Capital’s emphasis on the ‘three-legged stool’ of residential, installation, and commercial services underscores a strategy to build a more resilient and diversified platform. The acquisition, coupled with Boxwood’s continued activity, signals a broader trend of strategic capital partners targeting fragmented, localized service businesses for consolidation.
