Wall Works Holdings, a portfolio company of AVALT and VantEdge Partners and a national platform supporting wall and ceiling contractors, announced today its acquisition of C.I.D. Construction, Inc., a family-owned specialty contractor based in Candia, N.H. Founded in 2009, C.I.D. provides commercial framing, drywall, and insulation services across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont. The transaction represents a strategic expansion of Wall Works’ investment in Optimum Building Systems LLC (“Optimum”), its regional hub for New England, further solidifying Optimum’s leadership position in the market.

“Bringing C.I.D. into the Wall Works platform significantly enhances our scale and service capabilities throughout New England,” said Darren Gould, CEO of Wall Works. “C.I.D.’s strong reputation, longstanding customer relationships, and operational excellence align seamlessly with Optimum’s culture and regional presence. Together, they will deliver even greater value to our contractor partners.”

Mario Boutin, founder of C.I.D. Construction added, “We’re thrilled to join the Wall Works family. With the support of Wall Works and Optimum, we can continue to grow while preserving the craftsmanship, integrity, and customer commitment that have shaped our company for more than two decades.”

Wall Works is a national platform that partners with and develops best-in-class wall and ceiling contractors serving general contractors and homebuilders across the United States. Its partner companies offer drywall, insulation, framing, acoustical ceiling, and exterior cladding services, operating independently while benefiting from shared resources, growth capital, and operational expertise.

Optimum Building Systems is a leading provider of drywall, acoustic ceiling tile, waterproofing, and exterior cladding services for commercial, healthcare, and education projects across New England. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Litchfield, N.H., Optimum is recognized for quality craftsmanship and dependable project execution.

C.I.D. Construction, Inc. is a New Hampshire–based specialty contractor led by second- and third-generation Canadian drywallers with decades of combined experience. The company’s deep technical expertise, craftsmanship, and efficiency allow its team to deliver high-quality results rooted in a longstanding family tradition and a commitment to professional excellence.
