Ridgeline Roofing & Restoration, a roofing platform owned by Bertram Capital, has acquired Advantage Roofing & Exteriors, its eighth acquisition. Advantage installs and repairs roofs, puts up siding, gutters and decks, and restores homes and buildings after storm damage for homeowners and businesses. The company is based in Kalamazoo, Mich., and serves Southwest Michigan.
Tim Brown founded Advantage in 1998. Ridgeline, which provides residential and commercial roofing and restoration services, has offices in Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. Ridgeline CEO Chris Baldus said Advantage is the kind of founder-led operator with a loyal customer base the company likes to partner with, and Zach Bassi, a vice president at Bertram, said the firm will support the Advantage team as it extends its reputation across Southwest Michigan. Bertram, based in Foster City, Calif., invests in lower middle-market companies and has raised more than $4 billion in capital commitments since 2006.
