LB Capital partners with established home services companies—businesses with loyal customers, proven operators, and decades of reputation. We provide the capital and the infrastructure to grow beyond the founder’s ceiling.
We don’t offer a menu of services. We apply a specific operating sequence to businesses that are ready to go from good to great.
We replaced legacy paper-and-pencil habits with modern field-service systems like Service Titan and Hatch AI to automate lead response. This gave us real-time visibility into dispatch efficiency, technician performance, and actual profit margins.
In home services, the first to the door wins. We moved lead response times from “eventually” to under 60 seconds through structured intake and 24/7 accountability.
We shifted from “one-off” ad spend to a high-output marketing machine. This included full CRM integration, attribution tracking (knowing exactly where every dollar came from), and a 250% increase in qualified leads.
Scaling requires more than just more ads. We institutionalized recruiting and leadership training, then executed a strategic merger with Climatech. This moved Dilling from a local PA shop to a dominant multi-state platform in North Carolina.
We built a platform with the systems, leadership, and predictability required to attract Apex Service Partners. The $36M exit wasn’t just for the revenue—it was for the systems we built that allowed that revenue to be predictable.
| Metric | Pre-Partnership | Post-Partnership (exit) |
|---|---|---|
| Lead Flow | Limited / inconsistent | 250% increase in qualified leads |
| Systems | Manual / paper-based | ServiceTitan + tech-enabled ops |
| Market Reach | Local PA operator | Multi-state PA + NC platform |
| Outcome | Founder-led regional business | Acquired by Apex Service Partners |
We aren’t a fit for everyone. We look for a specific profile:
Home services businesses in the $5M–$15M range.
Strong local reputations with a customer base that actually recognizes the name on the truck.
Operational friction—you feel like you’re fighting your own systems to grow.
Owners looking for a partner, not just a check. We are hands-on operators, not passive investors.
