"We're excited for our team to become a part of Southeastern Home Services," said Harrell. "There are some things we do really well that we can share with the other portfolio companies, and we hope to learn from them as well. We also see the benefits for our customers in bringing plumbing, HVAC, and electrical services together through one company."
Formed in early 2022, Southeastern Home Services has plans to rapidly expand through strategic acquisitions. With multiple locations in the Greater Tampa Bay, Greater Orlando, and Central Florida areas, the group serves more than 5,000 customers across the region.
