Powerhouse

What Powerhouse does

Powerhouse (legal entity: Powerhouse Retail Services LLC) is a privately held US provider of nationwide multi-site facilities maintenance, exterior services, and rollout/refresh programs, headquartered in Crowley, Texas. The company serves enterprise and mid-market customers operating 100+ location portfolios across ten primary verticals — commercial real estate, financial services, grocery and convenience retail, healthcare and senior living, hospitality, restaurants, general retail, telecommunications, multi-family housing, and transportation/logistics. Service delivery is executed through an asset-light network of thousands of vetted and insured sub-contractors across 20+ trades, augmented by internal staffing and merchandising crews that can scale from 20 to 100+ associates within approximately 48 hours. The company has operated since 2004 and was further expanded in April 2021 when it combined with Dentco's exterior services business.

The core product portfolio is organized around three service pillars: Multi-Site Enhancement Services (MSES) for nationwide rollouts and refresh programs, Facilities Maintenance covering 20+ interior trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, painting, carpentry, handyman, locksmith, disaster prep/recovery), and Exterior Services including landscaping, parking lot maintenance, and snow & ice management with a 7,500+ provider network. These are supported by two supplementary lines (Staffing Solutions and Merchandising Solutions) and adjacencies in EV charging implementation and disaster recovery. The technology backbone consists of three proprietary portals: Atlas (cloud-based facilities maintenance management with work-order generation, IVR automation, mobile data transmission, system integrations, map visualization, and reporting dashboards), Infinity (real-time program management for rollouts and refreshes with deadline tracking and automated reporting), and Smart ESM (exterior services portal with inspection pictures, quality control review, work-order submission, and weather overlay on location maps). Powerhouse also operates Powerhouse University for workforce training and the Powerhouse Foundation, a 501(c)(3) established in 2018.

The business model is sales-led, enterprise-focused, and quote-based with Net-30 payment terms; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with dedicated national account executives per vertical segment (e.g., restaurant franchise accounts), a vendor onboarding portal (Nexa), customer-facing applications, and a strategic alliance with Colliers for client referrals. Group purchasing supplier relationships (e.g., RSI negotiating rates on behalf of franchisees) supplement direct sales. The company is privately held, with no prior public listing, and received its first clearly disclosed institutional capital in a 2019 round involving Lincolnshire Management, Veronis Suhler Stevenson, and WP Global Partners, followed by a $15 million round from Lincolnshire Management in October 2025.
