The Texas building envelope consulting market saw further consolidation as Armko, a portfolio company of Align Capital Partners, acquired Kuhn & Associates, a Houston-based firm serving education, municipal and multi-family property owners across Southeast Texas.

The move adds a direct presence in Austin and Houston and brings in-house testing capabilities that complement Armko's existing technical services.

Kuhn & Associates specializes in roof evaluation, design and specification as well as waterproofing and repair consulting.

Its client base is concentrated among school districts, local governments and multi-family operators, giving Armko dee.

Armko, founded in 1983 and headquartered in Cleveland, has completed over 7,000 building envelope engagements nationally.

The firm became a platform investment for Align Capital Partners in December 2025.

Kuhn is its first acquisition under that partnership, fitting a strategy of geographic and service-line expansion through add-ons.

Align Capital Partners manages $2.1 billion in committed capital from offices in Cleveland and Dallas.

Its deal team on the transaction included Jack Parks, Rob Langley, Stuart Schardin, Matt Bowen, Joe Vitale and Adi Vashistha.

Armko intends to continue pursuing complementary acquisitions across its footprint.
