San Ramon, CA – ABI Group Inc. is pleased to announce its role in the acquisition of Douglah Designs, a premier Bay Area home remodeling and design-build firm, by TeedUp Capital, marking an exciting new chapter for a company that has helped homeowners transform their living spaces through exceptional craftsmanship and personalized service for 3 decades.
Founded by Leila Douglah, Douglah Designs & Luxe Homes built an outstanding reputation for delivering thoughtfully designed kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, additions, and custom living spaces. Through an unwavering commitment to quality, trusted client relationships, and meticulous attention to detail, the company became one of the Bay Area’s most respected names in residential remodeling and a cornerstone business in Lafayette, CA with deep roots in the community.
As Leila began planning for the future of the business, preserving its legacy, culture, employees, and reputation became a top priority. She engaged ABI Group to identify a buyer who not only recognized the company’s value, but also shared her commitment to exceptional customer service, superior craftsmanship and long-term growth.
Reflecting on the experience, Leila Douglah shared: “Amy acted as our Trusted Advisor, guiding me through a complex & often challenging sales process from start to finish. Her persistence, professionalism and commitment to getting the transaction completed were instrumental in helping us close the deal.”
Working closely with Douglah throughout the transaction, ABI Group managed every phase of the sale process, including business preparation, buyer outreach, negotiations, due diligence, finance coordination, closing and transition launch.
The acquisition of Douglah Designs marks another step in TeedUp Capital’s strategy of building a premier residential services platform across Northern California. With existing investments in remodeling, construction, cabinetry, and painting firms, TeedUp brings a network of complementary businesses, experienced operators, and shared resources that will help accelerate future opportunities while maintaining the high standards that customers have come to expect.
“Every successful acquisition requires disciplined execution to manage complexity and keep multiple workstreams aligned through closing. Amy played a critical role throughout and we appreciated her tenacity, execution, and responsiveness in finding solutions that ultimately helped both sides achieve a successful outcome.”-Adam Wood, Co-Founder and CEO of TeedUp Capital
Leila will continue to be deeply involved in strategy, execution, and customer engagement, working alongside TeedUp’s resources to grow and strengthen the firm while preserving the high standards and culture built over time.
