Shore Capital Partners Announces Formation of Skycrest Roof and Welcomes Anthony C. Leonard Roofing and Bulldog Roofing to the Platform

CHICAGO & DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shore Capital Partners (“Shore” or “Shore Capital”), a Chicago-based private equity firm with offices in Nashville, is pleased to announce the launch of Skycrest Roof (“Skycrest” or the “Company”), a premier residential roofing platform. Additionally, Skycrest has acquired Anthony C. Leonard Roofing (“Anthony Roofing”) and Bulldog Roofing (“Bulldog”), marking the Company’s first strategic steps toward building a national presence.

Based in Denver, Skycrest seeks to redefine roofing services by integrating cutting-edge technology, a customer-first philosophy, and scalable operational excellence. Kelly Wade, a 15-year industry veteran, has been appointed Skycrest’s Chief Executive Officer. Wade spent a decade at North American Roofing, a national roofing business with operations in all 50 states, serving as CEO until the company’s sale in 2018. She later became CEO of Sarasota-based Crown Roofing, a $100 million residential and commercial group. Most recently, Wade has led her own advisory business, guiding industrial and roofing companies to scale and serving as a Board member.

“Skycrest is not only about fixing roofs—it’s about setting new standards in the industry,” said Wade. “With the expertise and resources of Shore Capital Partners, we have the opportunity to transform the traditionally linear and transactional roofing process into an experience that’s unexpectedly positive for both homeowners and our teams alike. Our differentiation lies in our strategic market partner selection, sales-driven leadership, and seamless integration across our operations."

Skycrest aims to establish itself as a national leader in residential roofing with strategic locations across the country. Currently operating in two key markets—Colorado and Florida—the Company is ushering in a new era of roofing built on its “CREST” core values: Customer First, Responsive, Easy, Surprisingly Positive, and Tech Forward.

Ryan Burke, Market Partner at Bulldog Roofing, said, “When speaking with Shore and Skycrest, I quickly realized that they were different from the start. They align completely with our priorities at Bulldog: culture, our management team, sales group, and the ambition to build something extraordinary."

Dan Leonard, Market Partner at Anthony C. Leonard Roofing expressed similar sentiments: "Within two months, we have already been impressed by the ample resources provided and the seamless collaboration with our Colorado partner. We already feel like we’re part of something transformative."

"Core to our strategy is finding great partners, putting top talent in leadership positions, assembling world class boards, and providing the resources they need to excel,” said Dan Spradling, Partner and Co-Head of Industrials at Shore. "The residential roofing market is a natural fit for Shore, given our proven track record of identifying top-performing small businesses and creating partnerships that unlock their potential."
