ATLANTA, September 21, 2023 — Eagle Merchant Partners ("Eagle") is pleased to announce that Eskola Roofing & Waterproofing (“Eskola”), a current portfolio company and leading provider of commercial roofing and waterproofing services, has acquired Best Environmental Systems Technology, Inc. (“B.E.S.T.”) and Roof Control Services, both southeast based commercial roofing contractors, and opened four additional branches, more than doubling its service area over the past twelve months.
“We are excited about these new partnerships. By joining forces with B.E.S.T. and Roof Control Services, we are combining our strengths to deliver even higher service excellence to our clients,” said Eskola CEO Jon Eskola. B.E.S.T operates in the greater Raleigh-Durham market, and Roof Control Services serves North Florida from its branches in Orlando and Jacksonville.
Eskola's expansion initiative extends beyond the acquisitions. The company has established new branch offices in North Georgia, Greenville/Spartanburg, Charleston, and Charlotte. With existing Tennessee branches in Morristown, Knoxville, Nashville, and Memphis plus the company’s branch in Lexington, KY., the company's geographic footprint spans a large and connected area.
Eskola aims to continue to expand its reach throughout the Southeastern United States, focusing on Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Virginia. The company is actively seeking partnerships with founders and contractors who share a customer-centric approach to commercial re-roofing and waterproofing.
