P1 Service Group

What P1 Service Group does

P1 Service Group is a privately held residential home services holding company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Irvine, California. The company acquires and partners with independently operated HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service businesses across the United States — with current operations spanning Florida, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Southwest Washington — while preserving each partner's local brand identity and operational leadership. Its stated target acquisition profile is residential service businesses generating $10-100 million in annual revenue that share a "people-first" cultural orientation. Since founding, the company has completed 20+ acquisitions and currently reports a combined headcount of 480 team members across partner brands.

The company's operating model is a service-business roll-up: P1 takes equity positions or full ownership of established home service operators, invests capital alongside former owners, and layers on shared services including marketing, recruiting, training, call center operations, acquisition guidance, and finance support. End customers (residential homeowners) are reached through the retained partner brand network rather than through direct P1 consumer marketing. The technology backbone is ServiceTitan, where P1 holds "super user" credentials enabling integration, I.T./cybersecurity, data analysis, and phone-system interoperability across partner operations. No pricing is publicly disclosed; deal economics are negotiated individually with each partner. In 2025, P1 merged with Columbia Home Services to extend Pacific Northwest reach, while continuing to operate without disclosed institutional private equity backing.

• Apex Service Partners: PE-backed residential HVAC, plumbing, and electrical roll-up pursuing the same partnership-then-grow strategy across multiple US regions; the closest comparable platform to P1 by structure and target market.

Others
