The deal
Wheelhouse, a Trivest Partners-backed platform that services garage doors for homes and businesses, has acquired All Star Garage Door. The deal was announced Oct. 29, and terms were not disclosed. Wheelhouse says it is the platform's second acquisition of 2026.
All Star was founded in 2008 and is owned by Ryan Salinas. The family business employs more than 30 people and installs, services and repairs garage doors for homes and businesses, with a focus on custom doors for high-end homes. It serves California's Central Valley and Central Coast, and in 2024 it opened in two Utah markets, St. George and Park City.
Trivest launched Wheelhouse in April under CEO Ron Avidan, bringing together owner-run garage door companies in California, Georgia and Illinois. The platform says it is still looking for more add-ons across the country.
Garage doors have been one of the busiest corners of home services M&A this year, from KKR's reported deal for A1 Garage Door Service to smaller platforms like Wheelhouse buying owner-run shops. All Star brought something specific: custom installation for high-end homes and a toehold in a new state. Buyers pay for skills and markets they can't easily build on their own. If your company does something your competitors don't, make sure it shows up clearly in your numbers and in how you tell your story.
What this means if you own a garage door company
- Specialties stand out. High-end custom work can set you apart from repair-only shops in a buyer's eyes.
- New markets add value. All Star's move into Utah gave its buyer a foothold in another state.
- Buyers are active. Several platforms are hunting for garage door companies right now, which can work in a seller's favor.
