Who we are
A privately held investment firm focused on acquiring and operating essential, non-discretionary businesses — with a particular emphasis on the home services sector.
How we work
Both partners have hands-on operating experience. That lets us work alongside management on day-to-day execution as well as long-term strategy, and to move quickly and decisively in complex situations.
Our approach
Traditional acquisitions
We acquire and operate essential, non-discretionary businesses, with a particular emphasis on the home services sector — the services people and businesses cannot put off.
Distressed & special situations
We actively pursue turnarounds, ownership transitions, and businesses in need of operational repositioning, where aggressive hands-on leadership can restore and unlock long-term value.
Portfolio
Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning
A middle-market residential and light commercial HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services company based in the Seattle area. Skyline acquired Cardinal out of a distressed situation and has led its operational turnaround.
