Hyde Park Capital Advises Acree Plumbing, Air & Electric on Its Sale to LTP Home Services Group

February 7, 2023 by Post

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 7, 2023 – Hyde Park Capital announced today that its client Acree Plumbing, Air & Electric (“Acree”), a full-service provider of residential HVAC, plumbing and electrical services located in Tampa, has been acquired by LTP Home Services Group (“LTP”), a portfolio company of L Catterton, a leading middle-market private equity firm based in Greenwich, Connecticut. The transaction marks Hyde Park Capital’s sixth major client transaction of 2022 and builds on the momentum of a continuing strong market for mergers and acquisitions in 2023.

Hyde Park Capital served as the exclusive investment banker to Acree for the transaction. Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick served as legal counsel to Acree.

“After 40 years of building a tremendous company independently, Suzy and I realized that in order to take the company to the next level, we needed a large strategic partner to help expand our services,” said Vic Trino, co-owner of Acree. “The high demand and continued expected growth put our current resources to the test, so we engaged Hyde Park Capital to find the right partner to help us. LTP is somebody we felt very comfortable with and confident in to continue to grow the Acree business. We’re incredibly thankful to have had Hyde Park help us with this process and are excited to partner with LTP. We could not be happier with our decision and are excited to watch our HVAC, electrical, and plumbing services expand throughout the United States.”

Michael Trino, president, Acree, said, “The entire Acree team and I are excited to join the LTP family. Our companies share many similarities, including strong cultures centered around employee well-being and customer satisfaction. Leveraging LTP’s marketing experience and organic growth strategy positions will enable Acree to fulfill its vision of being a regional leader in the home services industry. I am confident our success will continue well into the future under LTP’s leadership.”

Jeff Cooper, CEO, LTP, said, “Partnering with Acree is a continuation of our acquisition growth strategy. Acree is the preeminent home services company in the Tampa area, with a market-leading position in HVAC and plumbing. We admire the successful business and strong team that Victor, Suzy, and Michael have built, and their tireless focus on serving their customers. We share a company culture of excellence and look forward to what we can accomplish together.”

John McDonald, senior managing director, Hyde Park Capital, said, “We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to represent the leading provider of HVAC, plumbing and electrical services to Tampa residents for over 40 years. Vic, Suzy and Michael were a pleasure to work with along with the rest of the deal team. Vic and Suzy engaged us with the sole purpose of transacting with LTP and were very clear on the price and terms that they wanted us to achieve for them. We are very glad that we were able to realize their objectives and give them an outcome that they are very pleased with.”
