O’Hara’s Son Roofing announced on Tuesday that it has acquired Starkweather Roofing, a commercial roofing firm based in Arizona.
The transaction marks OSR’s first strategic purchase since being acquired by an affiliate of Angeles Equity Partners, a Los Angeles-based private investment firm.
The company said in a news release that the acquisition marks a significant milestone for OSR as it expands its national footprint and further entrenches its presence in the southwestern U.S. market.
OSR added that the move combines Starkweather Roofing’s local market knowledge with OSR’s national scale, resources and operational excellence.
“Starkweather Roofing has built a tremendous legacy over the past 29 years, with a particular strength in re-roofing, service, and repair — areas that are critical to long-term customer satisfaction and asset protection,” said Luke Coleman, CEO of O’Hara’s Son Roofing.
“We are excited to welcome the Starkweather team into our organization and expand our capabilities in these essential services while continuing to deliver what we view as exceptional value to our clients across the region,” Coleman added.
Founded in 1996, Starkweather Roofing has become a trusted name in commercial roofing throughout Arizona. Its service offerings include new construction, re-roofing, maintenance and emergency repairs. OSR said the company’s assets include a team of seasoned professionals and a portfolio of projects spanning the education, healthcare, municipal and industrial sectors.
Following the acquisition, Starkweather Roofing will continue to operate under its existing name, preserving the brand identity and reputation it has built in the Arizona market.
“Joining forces with O’Hara’s Son Roofing allows us to scale our operations, while maintaining the core values that have defined our business,” said Jeff Starkweather Sr., founder of Starkweather Roofing, along with his wife Diane Starkweather.
“We look forward to leveraging OSR’s national capabilities and infrastructure to better serve our clients and accelerate growth,” Starkweather continued.
The company said the acquisition will give OSR greater ability to serve regional and national clients, with enhanced capabilities and a broader geographic reach.
Massumi + Consoli LLP served as legal counsel to Angeles. Strategic Business Brokers Group served as financial advisor to Starkweather. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
