Trivest Announces Launch of Wheelhouse, Expanding Residential Garage Door Platform with Acquisitions and New CEO

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trivest Partners LP (“Trivest”) is pleased to announce the launch of Wheelhouse, a unified brand identity for its residential garage door services platform. Beginning as a single West Coast operator, Wheelhouse has quickly evolved into a recognized and scalable brand with a clear vision for growth.

Wheelhouse brings together multiple residential garage door brands under one roof and a shared direction. The development of the Wheelhouse brand reflects a deliberate effort to unify systems, strengthen integration, and build long-term value across the platform. Backed by centralized resources and operational expertise, Wheelhouse enables residential garage door businesses to scale while maintaining their trusted local identities.

Wheelhouse continues to grow through targeted acquisitions in key markets within the residential garage door industry. Most recently, the platform expanded its presence in California through the acquisition of Hamon Overhead Door Company, serving Santa Barbara County (hubs in Paso Robles and Santa Maria). Hamon is a well-established and highly respected provider, and its addition strengthens Wheelhouse’s ability to deliver high-quality service across the Central Coast of California. Previous acquisitions include Besser Garage Doors in Santa Ana, CA, Hanson Overhead Garage Door Service in Palm Desert, CA, JMK Garage Doors in Upland, CA, VMT Doors in Metro Atlanta, GA, and Consolidated Garage Doors in Chicagoland, IL. “Together, these acquisitions reflect Wheelhouse’s strategy of partnering with strong local operators and expanding its footprint as a national garage door platform,” said Ron Avidan, newly onboarded CEO.

Wheelhouse has welcomed Ron Avidan as Chief Executive Officer. Ron brings extensive leadership experience and a proven track record of scaling service businesses. He will lead the platform through its next phase with a focus on performance, people, and long-term growth. As a retired Major from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Ron began his U.S. career as an entrepreneur in construction before transitioning to private equity-backed leadership roles. Prior to joining Wheelhouse, Ron served as a Senior Operating Partner at an upper-middle-market private firm, where he focused on value creation and operational improvement.
