About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 12
- Employees
- 5 Full-time
- Facilities & Assets
- 1,700 sq ft leased space with small office and secure tool storage. Includes two well-equipped service vans, power tools, ladders, and hand tools appropriate for everyday home repair (FF&E ~ $50K). Inventory of about $7K in fasteners, patching materials, plumbing/electrical parts, and hardware that supports rapid first-trip completion.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Serves older, established neighborhoods where homes need constant light upkeep and owners prefer to outsource repairs. Competitors range from solo handymen to larger branded services; this business wins by being local, consistent, and easy to reach.
- Opportunities for Growth
- A new owner could add another technician, expand the service radius into nearby suburbs, or introduce simple seasonal services (spring exterior checks, pre-winter maintenance) to drive repeat calls and larger tickets.
