Shepherds has been servicing the Colorado market for many years and brings a mix of both residential and light commercial business.” He continued, “Looking ahead, our M&A pipeline remains robust and includes installation and specialty distribution companies in all three end-markets we serve: residential, commercial and industrial.”
So far in 2021, TopBuild has acquired 10 companies, which are expected to generate $1 billion of annual revenues. In 2020, these companies generated approximately $6 million of revenues on a combined basis.
