Roof Worx Transaction

Transaction Announcement

Roof Worx LLC (“Roof Worx”), a leading provider of residential and commercial roofing services across Colorado and Wyoming, announced that it has been acquired by SouthWorth Capital Management, a Memphis, Tennessee-based family office.

Founded in 2010 and having completed nearly 7,000 roofing projects, Roof Worx is a family-owned and operated company offering a comprehensive portfolio of roofing solutions for both steep-slope and low-slope environments. Services include installation, maintenance, and repair across residential, commercial, HOA, and property management end markets.

Roof Worx represents the first platform acquisition in a multi-state roofing roll-up strategy to be executed by SouthWorth during its investment period.

GLC Advisors was our first choice as investment banker, given the team’s success working with construction services companies and contractors – and it proved to be the right call. They worked long hours, paid attention to what mattered most to our team, and stayed hands-on in every step of the process. As owners, my brother and I value hard work and follow-through, and that’s exactly what GLC delivered. We couldn’t be happier with both our new partnership and the overall outcome.

After receiving unsolicited interest from several potential buyers, one of our investors, a former GLC client, connected us with the GLC Tech team. While we entertained early discussions with preemptive buyers on our own, it became clear we needed an experienced financial advisor on our side. We quickly engaged GLC to orchestrate a targeted, competitive process that included our preemptive parties as well as additional strategic acquirers and private equity investors. GLC’s process produced offers from our preemptive groups, as well as buyers we had not identified, and greatly improved the outcome of our sale. GLC’s professionalism, judgement, dedication, and hands-on approach were instrumental in navigating the sale process successfully. I wholeheartedly recommend GLC to any SaaS company interested in exploring an M&A transaction or capital raise.
