Ridgeline Roofing Acquires Advantage Roofing & Exteriors

FOSTER CITY, Calif., September 23, 2026

Ridgeline Roofing & Restoration ("Ridgeline" or the "Company"), a provider of residential and commercial roofing solutions, has acquired Advantage Roofing & Exteriors ("Advantage Roofing"), a well-established roofing and exterior services provider serving Kalamazoo, MI and the surrounding Southwest Michigan region. The transaction marks Ridgeline's eighth acquisition. Ridgeline is a portfolio company of Bertram Capital ("Bertram"). Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Tim Brown founded Advantage Roofing in 1998, building it from the ground up into one of Kalamazoo's most recognized names in exterior services - a reputation reflected in its customer ratings across hundreds of reviews. The Company provides roofing installation and repair, siding, gutters, decks, and storm damage restoration to homeowners and businesses across the region.

"Advantage Roofing is exactly the kind of business we love partnering with - a founder-led operator with a loyal customer base and a team that's stuck around for years," said Chris Baldus, CEO of Ridgeline. "Tim has built something built to last, and we're looking forward to giving his team the resources to grow it even further."

"Advantage Roofing is a trusted local name with deep roots in the community and a team that customers rely on," said Zach Bassi, Vice President at Bertram Capital. "We're excited to support Tim and his team as they extend that reputation across Southwest Michigan."

"It's been a heck of a 28-year ride building Advantage in Kalamazoo, and honestly, it's exciting to see what's next," said Tim Brown. "With Ridgeline in our corner, it means more tools in the toolbox for us - bigger team, more support - while we keep doing things the same way we always have."

Ridgeline is committed to partnering with other growth-oriented roofing and restoration companies. Interested sellers or brokers should contact [email protected] to discuss potential opportunities.
