M&A Consultants - Matching Overhead Door companies with Expansion Buyers

Shannon Group is currently engaged with a broad network of private equity firms, family offices, and strategic investors actively seeking opportunities in the garage door, overhead door, and commercial dock and door industries.

Interest in these sectors has accelerated meaningfully over the last 12-18 months, driven by a combination of recurring maintenance revenue, sector-specific dynamics, and industry fragmentation.

Across our client base, numerous investors are pursuing platform investments, or add-on acquisitions to scale existing portfolios. Below are representative mandates that reflect what our clients are looking for:

Garage Door Service Platform Investment

Multiple private equity groups are seeking to partner with established garage door service businesses alongside their existing management teams. The focus is on recurring maintenance and service revenue, rather one-time installations.

Buyers are looking for: 

  • Agnostic to end-market (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial)

  • 40%+ share of revenue from recurring service or repair

  • Strong management teams that are excited for the next stage of growth

  • EBITDA $0.5m+

Commercial Dock and Door Platform Investment

There is significant private equity interest in building regional and national platforms within the commercial dock and door sector. These companies benefit from growing demand for warehousing, logistics, and industrial infrastructure – all of which rely on mission-critical loading docks, sectional doors, and automated systems. 

Buyers are looking for: 

  • $0.5m - $3.0m+ EBITDA

  • Management teams willing to remain in place post-transaction

  • Service-oriented models with recurring maintenance and repair themes

  • Diversified end-markets (e.g., manufacturing, distribution, logistics, etc.)

Private Equity-Backed Commercial Dock and Door Business Looking to Grow through Acquisitions

This group is interested in commercial door and dock service companies with complementary geographic coverage or customer bases.

Buyers are looking for: 

  • $0.5m+ of EBITDA

  • Owners seeking a full exit or a growth partner to scale under a broader platform

  • Customer relationships in industrial, logistics, or warehousing verticals 

This platform has a demonstrated track record of acquiring and growing residential and commercial service companies across the US.
