Business Overview

Established residential installation business serving some of the most desirable coastal neighborhoods in Southern California. The client base consists of high income homeowners with strong discretionary spending power who consistently invest in their properties. These are well scoped projects that run smoothly, support healthy margins and generate consistent referral driven demand.

The business is known for clean workmanship and a boutique service approach that resonates with premium homeowners. Today, the company completes approximately three to five jobs per week, with most projects finished in one to two days. Work is performed by a reliable subcontractor crew that is expected to remain with the new owner. New projects are generated primarily through referrals from homeowners, designers and general contractors, with no reliance on paid advertising.

At its peak, the business operated with multiple crews and reached approximately $2MM in annual revenue, producing roughly $500K in seller discretionary earnings. The current owner intentionally scaled the business back due to lifestyle choices, not business constraints. Over the past few years, the owner has been splitting time between other business ventures across the country and chose to operate a leaner, lower volume model.

For a buyer who wants to grow, the opportunity for immediate expansion is clear. Adding crews, increasing scheduling capacity and introducing marketing can quickly move the business back toward its prior scale. Alternatively, a buyer can maintain the current lifestyle model, working less than full time while enjoying strong cash flow from a streamlined operation.

Ideal Buyer

This opportunity is well suited for a buyer with construction or construction management experience who is organized, comfortable with homeowners and confident managing multiple small projects. It is also a strong first time business ownership opportunity due to the low down payment, hands on training and buyer friendly deal structure. The seller financing and revenue based earn out preserve cash flow and keep the seller engaged and supportive after closing.

Additional Revenue Opportunity

The business also operates as an authorized dealer for select manufacturers, allowing it to sell materials directly to contractors without installation labor. This distribution segment currently generates approximately $30K per year with no structure or outreach and represents a meaningful upside opportunity for a buyer who chooses to pursue it.
