L.A.R.K Industries, Inc., dba Residential Design Services and Commercial Design Services (“RDS”), and Trive Capital (“Trive”) are proud to announce that RDS has acquired substantially all of the assets of Pinnacle Stone & Tile (“Pinnacle” or the “Company”).

“Pinnacle Stone & Tile perfectly complements RDS’ existing product offering while significantly expanding our geographic reach and access to skilled labor in the Northern California market. The combined companies provide increased versatility and flexibility to a growing customer base through RDS’ extensive design center network and ability to provide seamless coverage for the entire suite of interior finishes,” commented Dan Lenahan, Vice President at Trive Capital.

Scott Cheeseman, President and CEO of Pinnacle, stated, “I am very excited for Pinnacle to join the RDS family. The combination of the two companies in Northern California provides an unrivaled platform from which we can continue to grow and deliver on our mission to provide excellent service at a compelling value to an even larger geographic area and customer base.”
