Generational Group, a leading mergers and acquisitions consultant for privately held businesses, is pleased to announce the sale of Percopo Coatings Company, LLC, a Florida painting and coatings contractor, to Bertram Capital Management, a private equity firm. The acquisition closed September 4, 2026.
Headquartered in Longwood, Florida, Percopo Coatings Company, LLC was founded in 2003 and has built a reputation among general contractors, developers, and facility owners for its quality workmanship and ability to complete projects efficiently. By self-performing across multiple trades, PCC eliminates the need for clients to coordinate multiple contractors. The company provides painting, coatings, and restoration solutions for a diverse range of commercial, industrial, and institutional structures, with services that include:
- Interior and exterior painting and specialty coatings for a variety of commercial and institutional properties
- Waterproofing and seamless flooring solutions designed to meet the needs of different facilities and structures
- Sandblasting and restoration services to support the maintenance and improvement of existing structures
- Fireproofing and intumescent coatings to serve specialized project requirements
PCC has completed projects across the Southeastern United States, serving customers in hospitality, aviation, education, and government. Its project experience includes airports, resorts, theme parks, schools, and federal buildings. The company represents the fifth platform investment in Bertram Capital’s Ignite fund.
Located in Foster City, California, Bertram Capital Management is a private equity firm that partners with lower middle-market companies to support their growth and development. Since its founding in 2006, Bertram has combined strategic growth capital with proprietary operational resources to help its portfolio companies reach their full potential. Its approach is built around Bertram High-5℠, an operational value-creation strategy that focuses on strengthening businesses through several key initiatives:
- Augmenting management teams and implementing operational initiatives to support business performance and long-term growth
- Pursuing complementary acquisitions that help portfolio companies expand their capabilities and strengthen their market positions
- Improving sales and marketing efforts to support customer development and business expansion
- Integrating technology to improve operations and create new growth opportunities
Bertram Labs, the firm’s in-house technology team, plays a central role in this approach, supporting portfolio companies through digital marketing, e-commerce, big data and analytics, application development, and platform optimization. Bertram is actively seeking add-ons in the industry and Southeastern U.S. to support inorganic growth and expand the scale and capabilities of their existing portfolio companies through strategic acquisitions.
Chief M&A Officer, Brenen Hofstadter and his team, led by Senior Vice President, M&A, Aaron Presley with the support of Managing Director, M&A, Chad Comroe successfully closed the deal. Executive Managing Director, Ed Weber and Senior M&A Advisor, Dave Heymann established the initial relationship with Percopo Coatings Company, LLC.
“We are proud to partner with Bertram to accelerate our next phase of growth and continue building on more than two decades of expertise, craftsmanship, and client relationships,” said Mike Percopo, Founder and CEO of PCC. “The team at Bertram demonstrated a clear understanding of our business, our people, and the standards we hold ourselves to. With the added digital capabilities of Bertram Labs, we believe we can further strengthen our operations and better serve our clients across the South.”
“As backers of several scaled platforms across the trades, we appreciate the deep industry knowledge, relationships, entrepreneurial spirit, and grit required to operate a successful business in these categories,” said Zack Bassi, Vice President at Bertram Capital. “Mike and Victoria have worked tirelessly to establish PCC as a household name in painting and specialty coatings with discerning GCs, developers and facility managers. We look forward to supporting PCC’s next phase of growth with the assistance of Bertram Labs, our in-house technology team.”
Ryan Binkley, CEO of Generational Group, added, “Percopo’s strong presence throughout the Southeast and commitment to quality have positioned the company well for continued growth. We’re pleased to have helped bring this transaction to a successful close and are excited to see what the business can accomplish with Bertram as a strategic partner.”
