Profitable Nashville Painting Co. w/ Absentee Owner, $1.2M SDE
Business Description
Profitable, fast-growing residential repaint business serving the Nashville metro and surrounding Middle Tennessee. The company reached approximately $3.9M in revenue in its most recent full year and is running at roughly $4.0M on a trailing-twelve-month basis, with about $1.24M of seller's discretionary earnings and $1.1M of adjusted EBITDA.
The business is owner-absentee. Day-to-day operations are run by a tenured W-2 management team, including a general manager, production manager, and office manager, with painting work delivered by an established network of subcontracted crews. Growth has been driven by a documented, multi-channel customer-acquisition program tracked in a CRM, rather than the referral-only model typical of independent painters.
The company carries a strong local brand: a 4.9-star Google rating across hundreds of verified reviews, a 5.0-star Facebook rating, PCA accreditation, EPA Lead-Safe certification, Google Guaranteed status, and GuildQuality membership, with a two-year written workmanship guarantee on every project and a national paint supplier relationship. No single customer represented more than 5% of revenue.
The business suits a buyer seeking a profitable, semi-passive home-services platform, a strategic painting consolidator, or a private equity group entering or rolling up residential services. The owner is available to support a smooth transition and is open to a continued advisory or passive role.

- Office-based with field crews. Operations cover the Nashville metro and twelve sub-markets across Middle Tennessee, each with dedicated marketing attribution.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The U.S. painting market is large and highly fragmented, with no dominant national brand in residential repaint. The company's brand, reviews, credentials, and tracked acquisition engine differentiate it from typical owner-operated competitors.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Geographic expansion into adjacent Middle Tennessee and regional markets using the existing acquisition playbook; expansion of the higher-ticket commercial and specialty mix from a low base; selective price and service-mix optimization; and use as a platform anchor or bolt-on for a home-services roll-up.

About the Sale
- Transition Support
- The owner will provide a negotiated transition period (long-term with retained ownership or hands-on training for 3-6 months). Because the business is already run by the management team, it is not owner-dependent, which supports continuity post-close.
