Business Description
This well-established roofing and exterior services company has served Greater Louisville and the Kentuckiana region since 2009, 17 years of continuous operations, a 4.7-star Google rating from 143 verified reviews, and an experienced management team already running day-to-day operations.

The defining feature of this opportunity is genuine absentee ownership. The current owner has managed the business remotely from out of state for over a decade, working approximately five hours per week answering occasional calls and paying bills. A general manager with 15 years of tenure runs day-to-day operations: estimating, insurance coordination, subcontractor management, supplier relationships, and customer escalations. Two experienced sales representatives (approximately 7 and 5 years of tenure) round out the team. All are commission-based, and all installation work is performed by long-standing subcontractor crews meaning no W-2 production payroll to manage.

The business operates across residential and commercial segments: roofing installation and replacement, storm and hail damage restoration, insurance claim work, siding, gutters, and emergency repair. It is a certified Owens Corning contractor able to offer premium warranty programs, and serves seven counties across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. The revenue mix is approximately 65% residential and 35% commercial, with roughly 65% retail (cash) work and 35% insurance work a balance that reduces dependence on storm cycles.

Revenue was $2.1M in 2025, down from a $4.1M peak in 2023. The decline was driven entirely by the owner redirecting his attention to a separate software venture (not included in this sale) and a temporary lapse in website marketing not by any loss of market position, staff, or reputation. Seller-prepared add-backs, which remove non-recurring software development costs and interest expense being resolved at closing, place recast earnings at approximately $480,000 for 2025.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, reputation-rich trade business that already runs without the owner. A buyer who reengages on marketing and sales adding reps, consistent phone coverage, and digital advertising has a clear path to rebuild volume toward prior levels. The general manager has expressed interest in continuing under new ownership, and the seller is committed to a smooth transition.

Includes office furniture and equipment, warehouse tools and materials, and a service truck. Estimating supported by EagleView, Xactware, Roofr, and Stack.
Market Outlook / Competition
The US roofing market exceeds $29 billion and is growing ~6% annually, driven by aging housing stock, insurance replacement demand, and PE consolidation of regional contractors. Greater Louisville is a metro of ~1.37M with a median home build year of 1965 a deep, ongoing roof replacement market. The business benefits from a 17-year reputation, a 4.7-star rating across 143 reviews, and an Owens Corning contractor certification that differentiates it on premium warranty work.
Opportunities for Growth
Marketing has been minimal in recent years reengaging Google Local Services Ads, SEO, and consistent phone coverage represents the clearest path to rebuilding volume. Adding 2-3 sales representatives could restore capacity the market can support. The commercial segment, driven by the GM's insurance and construction relationships, offers additional upside through larger-ticket projects. Geographic expansion into Southern Indiana, Elizabethtown, or Lexington is possible with the existing operational base.
