Imagine stepping into a thriving 30-year legacy in the fenestration industry. This isn't just another window business - you're looking at a company that's weathered three decades and emerged stronger after a smart restructuring in late 2025.
Here's what makes this opportunity special: You'll inherit a robust $1.5M+ sales pipeline that's already in motion. The business specializes in premium Passive House certified tilt-and-turn windows, custom entry doors, and bifold systems - products that command premium pricing in today's energy-conscious market.
What you'll love about the dual-revenue model: Your manufacturing side creates custom wood and metal-clad products right here in the USA, giving you complete quality control. Meanwhile, your distribution arm delivers high-margin vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum lines - diversifying your income streams beautifully.
You're not starting from scratch. The previous owner has built relationships with architects and contractors who trust this brand. There's an active CRM system tracking leads and an innovative new product line developed by a globally recognized industry expert.
The Pacific Northwest's building boom isn't slowing down, and energy efficiency requirements are getting stricter - perfect timing for premium fenestration products. You'll be positioned to capture growing demand from both residential and commercial projects.
This business has proven it can adapt and thrive. The recent stabilization means you're buying into a platform ready for your vision and growth. Whether you're an industry veteran or someone looking to enter a specialized manufacturing niche, this represents a rare chance to own a established player in a market that values quality and innovation.

- Currently Relocatable

- Facilities & Assets
- The business currently operates out of a strategically located 10,000 sq. ft. industrial warehouse in Seattle, featuring a professional showroom, mezzanine office space, and a functional spray/paint booth. The shop is equipped with a state-of-the-art, semi-automated European manufacturing line valued at over $415,000 in unencumbered tangible assets.
The current lease has approximately two years remaining at a monthly rate of $12,500. A finalized strategic plan is already in place for a 2027 relocation to an owned facility, which is projected to save the business approximately $48,000 annually in facility costs and significantly improve manufacturing laminar flow and scalability. - Market Outlook / Competition
- This business holds a unique competitive advantage as a 100% USA-based manufacturer using domestic raw materials, providing insulation from international trade tariffs and geopolitical supply chain instability. While competitors often face long lead times for imported European products, this business offers premium German engineering with reasonable domestic lead times.
The company’s 30-year track record and "Passive House" certifications create a high barrier to entry. Its dual-mode operation—acting as both a custom manufacturer and a distributor—allows it to out-compete smaller shops that lack distribution variety and larger distributors that cannot offer custom, high-end millwork solutions. - Opportunities for Growth
- The growth potential is anchored by a disruptive new window product line ready for market launch, offering a significant technological moat. The 2026 "bridge year" is focused on scaling revenue to $1.5M, with Q1 actuals already showing a 62.7% gross profit margin—surpassing initial targets.
Expansion opportunities include leveraging existing relationships with prestigious luxury builders to cross-sell products and re-engaging a deep 30-year database of past clients. Long-term projections suggest the business is scalable to $5M+ in revenue through a regional dealer network and the potential integration with a millwork operation to achieve massive cross-selling synergies in high-end custom home markets.

About the Sale
- Transition Support
- There are already two partners in this business. One partner owns multiple other businesses and also has a day job in a supplier complementary business and wants to maintain that and work as a minority owner, supporting as an advisor. The other partner who's in the business and who's invested in the business works majorly in sales, so the biggest weakness is on the operations side.
Hopefully this is someone who's got some manufacturing experience, who's a great operator, who's able and willing to come in with some capital to also help fully realize the full investment of the business that's already established and bring some strong leadership.
