DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Omnia Exterior Solutions™, a portfolio company of CCMP Growth Advisors, LP (“CCMP”), today announced their partnership with James & Whitney Company, one of the premier residential roofing and exteriors companies throughout Maine and New Hampshire. The partnership marks the eighth addition to the Omnia Exterior Solutions platform this year, and the 11th since its inception in May 2023.
James & Whitney was established eight years ago when founding partners Eric James and Steve Whitney merged their two complementary businesses. “We were both in construction,” James explained. “I was mostly in new construction and Steve more in renovation.”
“From the start,” Whitney added, “Eric and I were like-minded in our goal to build a company that we both would have wanted to work for. Over the years, in order for us to keep growing, we invested and risked everything we had truly for the benefit of the company and all of our employees.”
Whitney believes their focus on quality control and service – always taking care of the customer – is what sets them apart. “We are a service business and very customer centric,” he explained. “We believe we will get a five-star review on every job because we train our employees to ensure that we do.”
Throughout the year, James & Whitney provides extensive training, including hands-on installation procedures and techniques, quality control protocols and processes, and best practices for understanding and serving the customer. The result is a team of specialists not generalists for each area or facet of their business, from window installations to various roofing designs or materials, to siding. “It’s a very talented and diverse team,” Whitney said.
This year, James & Whitney reached a point in their business where it was time for the type of investment and resources that a partner like Omnia could bring. “We knew we could go further with a stronger buying power along with things like better insurance and benefits for our business and employees,” Whitney said. Jim Ziminski, Omnia Exterior Solutions chairman of the board, agrees. “James & Whitney’s commitment to a five-star experience on every project aligns perfectly with Omnia’s mission,” he said. “Omnia is delighted to add one of the finest roofing and remodeling companies in the Northeast to our platform, and we’re excited to see the many benefits they’ll bring to our partnership team.”
Ryan McCaslin, newly named President of James & Whitney, shares Ziminski’s enthusiasm for the partnership. “Our team, our people, and the way we operate offer unique advantages to Omnia partners,” he said. “Our people are so good, there’s a lot of depth and talent, and a key objective for us has always been to help as many people as possible – clients and employees. This really is all about them.”
