Homeowner preference for local owner-operated companies over PE-owned

Roland Ligtenberg expresses that PE involvement poses no existential risk and that he personally would prefer a local, owner-operated company servicing his home over a PE-owned one, citing service quality concerns.

“But like, still at the end of the day, when I'm looking at, you know, who I want to have servicing my home, it's going to be a local company, someone whose hand that I can shake that owns that company. I don't, I don't want, I don't, I don't want an owned company like that, uh, you know, in my home.”
