The Houston home health and hospice provider is opening its 18-year-old care model to franchisees as it looks to expand beyond Texas.
The Nashville-based roofing consolidator, spanning 17 states and six partner brands, lands fresh capital to keep buying market-leading contractors.

Balance Point Capital Advisors is investing in Allied Roofing Partners, a Nashville-based platform that has spent two years buying up independent residential roofing and exterior-services contractors across the country. Since its 2024 founding, Allied has partnered with six market-leading brands and now operates in 17 states, and the new capital is earmarked for continued growth.
Roofing remains one of the most fragmented home-services categories in the country, with thousands of independent contractors competing on relationships and word of mouth rather than brand recognition. Allied's model, buying strong local operators and layering on shared technology and back-office support, follows the same roll-up logic that has driven investor interest in home services more broadly.
Grant Groher, senior managing director at Balance Point, pointed to Allied's management team, market positioning and technology-forward approach as the reasons behind the investment. For franchise and multi-unit operators watching the roofing space, that combination of professional management and tech infrastructure is increasingly what separates funded consolidators from mom-and-pop roll-ups that stall out after two or three acquisitions.
Allied co-founder and co-CEO Aaron Shumaker said the goal is to build the platform into the market-leading network of top-performing roofing and exteriors brands nationally, which points toward more acquisitions rather than organic growth alone. Independent roofing contractors weighing a sale should expect roll-ups like Allied to keep bidding aggressively for well-run operators as private equity continues flowing into the trade.
