Oak Hill Capital, a New York City-based private equity firm, has reached an agreement to acquire Guild Garage Group in a transaction valued at more than $800 million, according to sources familiar with the matter. This deal reflects an increasing focus among private equity firms on residential services businesses, which are seen as attractive investments due to their stable cash flows and consolidation opportunities in fragmented markets.
Founded in 2024 by Jordan Dubin, Joe Delaney, and Sean Slazyk, Guild Garage Group has experienced rapid growth through its roll-up strategy. The company has acquired nearly 30 independent garage door repair and replacement businesses across the United States in just two years. Guild has established itself as a leader in the residential garage door services market, generating more than $300 million in annual revenue and approximately $50 million in annual EBITDA, according to sources.
The company’s business model allows the businesses it acquires to retain operational independence while benefiting from the scale, purchasing power, and shared resources that come with being part of a larger organization. Guild Garage Group’s founders, who previously worked together at private equity firm L Catterton, have channeled their experience into consolidating and expanding this specialized industry.
Oak Hill Capital is a middle-market private equity firm with a history of substantial investments. Since its inception, the firm has raised more than $25 billion in initial capital commitments and co-investments. With its latest acquisition of Guild Garage Group, Oak Hill Capital is poised to expand its portfolio in the residential services sector.
The acquisition highlights growing interest from private equity firms in residential services businesses, which offer predictable demand and opportunities for efficiency gains through consolidation. Guild Garage Group’s strategy of targeting the fragmented garage door services market aligns with this trend, making it an appealing target for Oak Hill Capital.
