Owner’s stories

Read the experiences of previous owners that have worked with Stirling Heights

“Before partnering with Stirling Heights, I received 22 offers to acquire Alliance over the years, many from national players in our industry. Stirling was different. They took the time to understand my business, my people, and what we had built. They listened. They cared about protecting our team and our legacy. And they brought a vision, along with the energy and resources to execute it, that expanded what I believed the company could become. My only regret is not meeting them fifteen years earlier.
 
I was planning to fully retire, but the new vision for Alliance has completely re-energized me. For the first time, the weight isn’t all on my shoulders. I now have true partners in the foxhole with me, bringing capabilities, tools, and perspective that complement what I’ve built. Together, we’re making better decisions, moving faster, and capitalizing on opportunities I couldn’t have unlocked on my own and having fun doing it.”

Korky Bowling

CEO at Alliance Exteriors

“I walked away from a higher offer from a national chain because it was important to me to preserve what I built. After meeting Stirling Heights, I knew I’d found the right home. Today, my staff is thriving, we are opening new locations hand-in-hand, and the resources across the board have breathed additional life into our organization. They aren’t just operators, they are builders. I still remember calling my father after our second day together to tell him I’d finally found the right people for my business. Nearly a year into our partnership I still feel that same way. Instead of being folded in, I’m energized by my new role as a development partner, scaling our shared vision with a level of partnership I had been looking for.”
