Four platform deals landed in one window, including Morgan Stanley Capital Partners taking American Restoration and Fortify acquiring Rytech.
In a single window: Morgan Stanley Capital Partners fully acquired American Restoration, Fortify (Summit Partners) acquired Rytech to top 100 locations across 30+ states, LP First Capital launched the Rewind residential platform with its first deal (Icon), and Oridian launched AnchorPoint to roll up foundation repair and waterproofing.
Why it matters
The roll-up is no longer occasional, multiple platforms are buying and building simultaneously, which raises valuations for sellers and competitive pressure for those staying independent.
Our assessment
Four platform deals in one window reads as a seller's market, and if you are selling it is. If you are staying, it is a competitor with more carrier leverage, more buying power and deeper pockets for labor in your market. Staying independent is now something you do on purpose. Write down the three accounts a platform would take from you first, and go defend them.
