Expansion on the West Coast: Highland Arms Enterprises' Latest Acquisition

On May 27, 2026, Highland Arms Enterprises (HAE), in partnership with Main Post Partners, took a significant leap in their expansion plans by acquiring the Precision Garage Door Service franchises in Portland and Willamette Valley. This acquisition is part of HAE's strategic move to solidify its presence in the thriving markets of Oregon and the West Coast.

A Strategic Move

Located in Woodinville, Washington, Highland Arms has established itself as a dominant player in the garage door service industry. With this acquisition, HAE now operates 18 markets across various states, including California, Washington, Utah, Idaho, and Nevada. The acquisition of the Portland franchises marks a pivotal moment for HAE as they continue to grow their footprint.

Sherry Rose, the CEO of HAE, emphasized the natural progression of this acquisition due to Portland's proximity to their headquarters in Seattle. She stated, “We’re excited to fold what SK Services built into the HAE family, knowing it supports our ambitions for growth and presents an opportunity for us to have a presence in the suburban Portland area, which is seeing notable growth.” It seems that the robust market growth in the region matches HAE’s ambitions for expansion.

About the Franchises

The franchises acquired were originally owned by SK Services, Inc., led by Stan and Kim Prosser, who have been at the helm for over 23 years. Under their leadership, the business was cultivated with a focus on creating a work environment where employees could engage in meaningful tasks while providing customers with exceptional service. Stan Prosser expressed his sentiments on the transition: “After 23 years of growing this business, we leave with immense gratitude and pride. We set out to build more than a company—we hoped to create a place where people could do meaningful work.” This heartfelt acknowledgment reveals the depth of commitment that SK Services has had toward their employees and clientele.

Following the acquisition, the Precision Garage Door Service locations in Portland will integrate into HAE’s extensive portfolio of service centers, which stretch from Seattle down to San Diego. The objective is clear—enhance service delivery and customer satisfaction across all operational fronts.

Continued Commitment to Excellence

Founded in 2003, Highland Arms has quickly risen through the ranks to become one of the largest franchise operators in the Precision Garage Door Service system. This acquisition marks their seventh in just three years, showcasing HAE's aggressive growth strategy within the competitive landscape of home service franchises.

The Precision Garage Door Service brand is renowned for prioritizing customer service excellence and delivering high-quality garage solutions. As part of the Neighborly® family of brands, Precision Garage Door Service supports a growing network of over 30 brands across six countries, collectively serving millions of satisfied customers.

With Neighborly’s backing, HAE is poised to leverage its resources and the established reputation of Precision Garage Door Service to further enhance its footprint in the industry. The initiative will aim at not just maintaining but elevating customer service standards and expanding the capabilities offered to homeowners in the restored franchises.

Looking Ahead

As HAE prepares to merge the operations of the newly acquired franchises, the focus will be on creating a seamless transition that honors the legacy of SK Services while injecting HAE’s mission and values into the equation. This transaction is much more than an acquisition; it symbolizes HAE’s commitment to growth, community service, and exceptional customer care in the garage door industry. With this strategic acquisition, Highland Arms Enterprises is set to reinforce its stature as a leader in providing premier garage door solutions to its customers.
