Installation Contractor in Government Space – Subs Out 70%
Business Description
Washington, DC-based installation focused subcontractor
founded in 2000, specializing in architectural millwork,
finished carpentry, and installation of commercial fixtures and
equipment. The company operates primarily across the DMV
region, with additional project experience nationwide. The
business functions as a subcontractor, not as a prime. They
perform no in-house fabrication. Services include millwork,
laboratory equipment installation, and select steel-related
erection work, typically delivered as a subcontractor to
general contractors or larger specialty subcontractors.
Projects are primarily government-focused and commercial,
often large-scale and long term. The business maintains
strong industry credibility, emphasizing reliability, quality
workmanship, and a consistent track record of completing
projects without dispute. Revenue is driven through long
standing relationships and repeat partnerships with major
industry players negotiated or invited bid opportunities rather
than traditional marketing. The company consistently received
a high volume of bid opportunities but is capacity-constrained
due to aging owner. Operations are executed by 10 core
employees including a Superintendent plus an Assistant
Superintendent. The company typically self performs 30-35%
of work on awarded contracts and subcontracts the remainder
to trusted partners. The owner is seeking a sale as part of
retirement planning and is open to supporting a transition
period of 1-2 years to ensure continuity and relationship
transfer.
Priced at $470,000, this business presents an opportunity to
acquire a proven subcontracting platform with immediate
expansion potential. Growth opportunities include hiring an in
house estimator, expanding direct contracting capabilities,
increasing bonding capacity, and reducing reliance on third
party partners for both project acquisition and execution.
