Soundcore Capital Partners has formed TrussPoint Roofing & Exterior Renovations as a new platform and has acquired Ridge Top Exteriors, a provider of residential exterior renovation services.
As part of the formation of TrussPoint, Chad Colony has been named by Soundcore as the platform’s chief executive officer. Mr. Colony is the former CEO of Guardian Access Solutions, a Nashville-based provider of maintenance, repair, and installation of exterior access control equipment, which was acquired by CenterOak Partners in September 2023.
Ridge Top Exteriors provides installation and repair services for roofing, siding, windows and doors, gutters, and solar systems to homeowners in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Florida. The company serves both retail customers who pay directly and insurance-related clients whose repairs or replacements are covered by homeowners insurance, often following storm or accident damage.
Ridge Top, headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, was founded by CEO Larry Gebhart and has completed over 25,000 projects since its founding in 2002. The company operates from seven facilities in Wisconsin (4), Florida (2), and Illinois.
“Ridge Top is the ideal initial investment for TrussPoint,” said Mr. Colony. “Larry and the team have built an industry-leading company, expanding successfully through acquisitions and greenfields. Together, we aim to build upon their example and develop the leading residential roofing and exterior services repair and replacement company in North America.”
“Ridge Top is a market leader in exterior home services and a paradigm that will guide further expansion within TrussPoint,” said Jonathan Tanenbaum, a partner at Soundcore. “Soundcore’s investment and additional resources will allow Ridge Top to better capture this market opportunity, distinctively serve its customer needs, and provide professional growth for its employees. We are proud of our partnership and look forward to not only growing Ridge Top but also investing in other market leading businesses within our platform’s target markets.”
Soundcore has prior experience in the commercial roofing sector through its ownership of Roofing Corporation of America (RCA). Established in December 2020 as a consolidation platform, RCA invested in roofing contractors across the United States, with services spanning repair, replacement, and new commercial construction. Over a three-year period, RCA completed ten acquisitions, expanding to 16 regional branches in 11 states across the Sun Belt, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Western U.S. The company grew to approximately $400 million in annual revenue with a workforce of 900 employees. In December 2023, Soundcore sold RCA to publicly traded FirstService Corporation for $413 million.
“We are very excited to launch Soundcore’s newest platform by entering the fragmented and growing residential home repair and replacement exterior services sector. The investment in Ridge Top is the culmination of extensive thesis development, market mapping, and research by the Soundcore team,” said Jarrett Turner, the managing partner and founder of Soundcore. “Secular trends supporting investments in exterior home care will continue to drive customer growth and spend and provide an opportunity to expand TrussPoint’s footprint and service offering. The sector lends itself well to consolidation and professionalization that are the hallmark of Soundcore’s differentiated approach to value creation.”
New York City-headquartered Soundcore specializes in North America-based buy-and-build investments in the lower middle market. Target companies typically have EBITDA from $2 million to $14 million and are active in business and outsourced services, industrial services, specialty manufacturing, and value-added distribution sectors. Soundcore was founded in 2015 and has now completed 99 acquisitions across 13 platforms.
