Banner Capital Launches Roof Restoration Group, Completes First Partnership with Exterior Solutions Group

Southwest commercial roofing contractor joins Banner Capital-backed platform; founder Kyle Crawford to continue leading the ESG business

PHOENIX, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Banner Capital today announced that Roof Restoration Group ("RRG"), its Southwest-based commercial roofing and essential building services platform, has completed its first partnership with Exterior Solutions Group ("ESG"), a commercial roofing contractor headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma. ESG founder Kyle Crawford will continue to lead the ESG business, has joined the RRG Board of Directors, and has reinvested alongside Banner Capital and RRG Executives.

RRG is an established platform in Banner Capital's Fund II, built to partner with quality, founder-led commercial roofing contractors across the Southwest and beyond. Led by an experienced executive leadership team with deep roofing and building services expertise, RRG gives its partners the capital, shared finance, procurement, safety, and national sales infrastructure to accelerate growth, while keeping their teams, brands, and customer relationships in place. ESG is the first of what RRG expects to be a series of partnerships with founder-led commercial roofing contractors.

Founded in 2017 by Kyle Crawford, a fourth-generation roofer with more than 40 years of industry experience, ESG provides roof replacement, restoration, and facility maintenance services to K-12 public school districts, colleges, and commercial property owners. Kyle has completed projects nationwide, including the roof at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.

"Commercial roofing is an essential, non-discretionary service, and building owners – especially public schools – need partners they can trust to protect their facilities," said McKay Potter, Principal at Banner Capital and member of the RRG Board of Directors. "Kyle has built ESG into one of the most respected roofing contractors serving Oklahoma schools, and it is exactly the kind of founder-led business we formed Roof Restoration Group to support. We are proud to welcome ESG as RRG's first partner."

"From day one, ESG has been about doing roofing a little differently: taking care of our people, our customers, and the buildings they depend on," said Kyle Crawford, Founder and CEO of ESG. "Partnering with RRG and Banner gives our team the resources and back-office support to keep growing while we stay focused on what we do best. I'm excited to remain invested in the business and to help build something bigger together."
