JPB Partners, a family office direct investor in, and manager of, lower-middle market companies, announced the latest acquisition to its growing HVAC/plumbing platform business—Bowman’s, a prominent HVAC and plumbing services company headquartered in Sterling, VA. This marks JPB’s second strategic move in the residential HVAC and plumbing space since August 2022, solidifying its commitment to growth and excellence in residential home services.
Founded in 1995, Bowman’s has become synonymous with top-tier HVAC solutions across the Northern Virginia region. The company, led by Michael and Steven Bowman, has earned a reputation for its unwavering dedication to exceptional customer service and the delivery of high-quality products and services.
“We are delighted to partner with JPB for our next phase of growth. Their depth of experience in the home services space will open new avenues for future expansion opportunities,” states Michael Bowman, President & Co-Founder of Bowman’s.
Jim Bolduc, President & CEO of JPB Partners, expressed confidence in the strategic fit between Bowman’s and Blue Mountain Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. “We believe Bowman’s, with its longstanding reputation for high-quality products and outstanding customer service, is an ideal addition to our portfolio. We will leverage Bowman’s deep experience in the HVAC sector, along with our investment in Blue Mountain, to help Bowman’s continue to evolve in the Northern Virginia market.”
JPB will work closely with the management teams of both Bowman’s and Blue Mountain to identify new locations for de novo growth and add-on acquisitions in adjacent markets extending from Sterling to Roanoke and in between.
Bowman’s will continue to operate under its current name and branding, ensuring a seamless transition for customers and partners.
As JPB Partners takes this significant step forward, the company looks forward to a future where the combined strengths of Blue Mountain and Bowman’s create a powerhouse in the residential HVAC and plumbing sector, setting new standards for excellence across the state of Virginia.
