GarageCo (Gridiron Capital)
The Firm
GarageCo Holdings was formed in March 2024 by Gridiron Capital as a platform company of its Fund V, to build a national residential and commercial garage door services business out of established regional dealers. It launched with three at once: P.D.Q. Door Company in Maine, Apple Door Systems in Virginia, and Cunningham Door & Window in Kentucky.
It has kept buying since, and the sponsor announces each one: Cedar Park Overhead Doors in May 2024, Quality Overhead Door in July 2024, Dan's Overhead Doors in August 2025. The companies keep their own names, which the platform calls a family of family brands, so a market can be consolidated without looking it.
That last point is the one a searcher should take away. The trade reads as fragmented and local from a listing site while a funded buyer is working it steadily, and the brand a seller keeps is part of what is being sold. A first-time buyer bidding here is bidding against someone who has done this repeatedly and does not need the seller to leave.
What It Buys
New Canaan, Connecticut. Founder-run garage door dealers bought into a national platform assembled from scratch since 2024, each one keeping its own name, which is why the trade looks less consolidated than it is.
