Infinity Home Services (IHS), the Brookfield, Wisconsin-based residential roofing and exteriors platform backed by Freeman Spogli & Co. and LightBay Capital, has partnered with S&S Roofing, a residential roofing and gutter contractor in Arlington, Washington, owned by Shane and Sheri Dunlap. The company announced the partnership on November 12. Terms were not disclosed.
The asset.
Shane and Sheri Dunlap founded S&S Roofing in 2009 on a family roofing legacy the company describes as four generations deep. Based in Arlington, north of Seattle, it installs and repairs residential roofs — asphalt shingles and metal — and gutters, and serves the North Puget Sound, including Snohomish, Island, and Skagit counties. The Dunlaps said they wanted a partner who understood what makes the business special and would let them stay true to their team, their customers, and the way they do business.
The platform.
Infinity Home Services was founded in 1997 and is led by CEO Jay Teresi. Freeman Spogli and LightBay invested alongside management in January 2023. The platform keeps local brand names in place and layers on shared resources and technology. In the Pacific Northwest it already operates Valentine Roofing in Tukwila, serving Western Washington; Interstate Roofing in Portland, serving Northern Oregon and Southern Washington; and Specialty Exteriors in Spokane.
Filling in a market, not planting a flag.
The structural point is density. S&S does not open a new state for IHS. It puts a North Puget Sound brand next to a platform that has been in Washington since Valentine Roofing joined in 2022, including counties already in Valentine’s Western Washington service area. This is a way to thicken an existing footprint rather than plant a first flag in the Pacific Northwest.
What it means.
For owners of family roofing companies in markets where a platform already has a brand, the next conversation is often a fill-in — a keep-the-name partner in an adjacent county — rather than a buyer entering the state for the first time. IHS is still adding partners, and still leaving the family name on the trucks.
