Commercial millwork & cabinet manufacturing | $790k SDE
Business Description
Easy to Operate and Grow
A multi-generational, family-owned commercial millwork and custom cabinetry manufacturer headquartered in the Midwest, with a long-standing operating history serving general contractors, hospitality operators, dental/medical build-outs, and government clients. Under its current ownership, the business has grown into a diversified, multi-vertical producer, with TTM revenue reaching $2.9M and EBITDA/SDE of $791K, reflecting a margin expansion from roughly 16% to over 27% since 2023.
Revenue spans dental/medical (35–40%), hotels/restaurants (20–25%), government /schools (15–20%), and a growing residential segment (~10%) — down from near-total dependence on a single vertical at the time of the current ownership's acquisition. The business is owner-light, with the current owner working just 20–25 hours per week while a tenured, stable team (no turnover in four years) runs day-today estimating, drafting, and production. Regional industry consolidation — roughly 25% fewer cabinet shops than in 2020, an aging owner base, and a recent competitor's exit from residential — positions the company for meaningful, near-term growth in its higher-margin residential line.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Expand the residential cabinetry line — currently only ~10% of revenue but the largest, highest-margin market opening following a major regional competitor's recent exit.
Launch digital marketing and lead generation — the company currently does zero advertising, relying entirely on GC referrals and bid platforms, leaving brand-building and SEO as untapped channels.
Increase structured bidding volume on established bid sourcing platforms to systematize and grow the new business pipeline.
Expand geographic reach and adjacent scopes (e.g. partnering with third-party installers, adding scopes like upholstery/window treatments) to capture more revenue per project and per region.
