Empowering Garage Door
Companies to Maximize Value and Growth
A newly formed alliance of residential and commercial garage door service companies focused on replacement, repair and installation.
Who We Are
Why Guild
Guild allows owners to take chips off the table but retain “unit level ownership” so they continue to benefit through annual distributions and an eventual full exit as their business grows. Guild retains the employees and management teams of the companies they partner with and provides them with the resources and processes they need to better serve their customers, employees, and communities.
A leading network of
premier garage door service companies
We ensure that owners and employees have the support they need to carry on the business’ legacy, and that they are given the resources to build upon the reputation they’ve worked so hard to create. Simply put, you can’t buy a good reputation, you must earn it, and that is exactly what our partner companies have done.
Our Vision
To create a people-first, value-added platform that benefits everyone, from the customers we serve to the trusted partners that comprise our network of businesses.
Our Mission
To partner with talented and hungry owners, and provide them with the ambition, resources, and partnership necessary to reach their full potential.
How We Got Here
The garage door industry is changing rapidly. At Guild Garage Group, we partner with business owners and operators who are in various stages of transition. Whether owners are looking to scale their business to the next level with additional resources, want to ensure a seamless transition of their business on to the next generation, or are simply looking for support with an exit strategy, the Guild team is here to craft the solution
Value-Driven Growth Rooted in Partnership
We prioritize sustainable growth and operational excellence, leveraging our industry expertise and resources to support our partners’ success. Our approach is grounded in a partnership model that ensures mutual benefits and shared objectives, driving both our and our partners’ businesses towards enduring success.
Value-Driven Growth
We work to add true economic value by strengthening organizations, developing managerial talent, pursuing robust strategies based on strong industrial logic, aggressively investing in growth and continuously improving operations. We do not impose artificially short time horizons on the businesses we own. Rather, we deploy capital over time and apply in-house industry expertise to create business platforms that drive terminal value.
Empowering Success
We believe in providing a strong employee-centered culture, rock-solid back-office support, and data-driven insights to help your business thrive in an ever-changing competitive environment. A partnership with Guild Garage Group fosters a commitment to excellence in installation and repair.
Growth Partnerships
As a strategic partner, your success becomes our most important goal, and we believe our experience, industry contacts, and resources allow us to work collaboratively with business owners and management teams to accelerate their growth.
Our Strategy
01
Through a robust vetting process, we select companies that align with our values and priorities for employees, and customers. We are looking to acquire companies that desire various levels of involvement.
02
If you want to remain as an operating entity, you’ll get all the advantages of being part of a large team and the growth opportunities that come with the the Guild Garage Group partnership, while still maintaining autonomy.
03
If you are ready to step away from your business, we’ll work with you to develop a transition plan on your terms. You tell us your preferences, and we’ll do our best to create the clear path forward that works for all parties.
We understand the importance of legacy to family-owned businesses
We ensure that owners and employees have the support they need to carry on the business’ legacy, and that they are given the resources to build upon the reputation they’ve worked so hard to create.
