This is a sales business that happens to be in construction. For nearly 20 years, this residential window and door company has served South Orange County's affluent coastal neighborhoods, and the owner doesn't swing a hammer. He sits in living rooms, runs consultations, and closes. A long-term subcontractor crew handles every installation start to finish while he sells the next job. In fact, the owner travels to the East Coast regularly for other ventures, and the business keeps running while he's gone. 75 to 80% of revenue comes from referrals and repeat clients with zero paid marketing, producing $265,652 in SDE on $808,861 in revenue in 2025. The fulfillment side is already solved. What this business is starving for is someone who can market and sell.

Top Reasons to Acquire

- Built for a Sales Operator -- the owner's day is in-home appointments, quotes, and client relationships. Installs are fully handled by a vetted sub crew paid on piece work. No trade experience required to run the model.
- Runs Without the Owner Present -- the owner spends significant time on the East Coast, yet installs stay on schedule and revenue holds steady. The crew and systems carry the operation.
- Zero Marketing, Full Pipeline -- no Google Ads, no SEO, no paid anything. 75 to 80% of revenue arrives through referrals. Any competent marketer starts adding lead flow on day one.
- Attractive Deal Structure -- $445,000 purchase price with $140,000 down, a $140,000 seller note, and a $175,000 revenue-based earnout paid quarterly at 10% of revenue.
- Strong Recent Performance -- $265,652 SDE in 2025 with a 2-year average of $227,582 based on tax returns.
- Proven Ceiling -- the business previously ran at $2M in revenue with $500K+ in profit using three crews. Current single-crew structure supports $1.5M to $2M.
- Simple Growth Math -- one part-time owner supports current volume. The business easily handles two to three sales appointments per day. More selling time equals more revenue.
- Licensing Path Solved -- seller is willing to remain as qualifying license holder after closing with compensation while the buyer earns their own B license.
- Untapped Dealer Channel -- supply-only sales to contractors generate roughly $30K per year with no outreach. Simple effort pushes this to $150K to $250K annually.

A buyer walks into a working sales system: pre-qualified referral leads, a refined quoting process, a crew that installs in one to two days, and three to five active projects in motion. The seller provides 30 to 45 days of hands-on training plus a revenue-based earnout that keeps him introducing new leads and backing the buyer when referrals call. Businesses where the hard part is already done and the growth lever is simply "sell more" do not come along often.

Key Highlights
- The Owner Sells, the Crew Installs: Every installation is handled by a long-tenured subcontractor team with a foreman of 10 years. The owner's role is consultations, design guidance, and closing. This is a sales seat, not a tool belt.
- Semi-Absentee Today: The owner splits his time between coasts and the business still produces. A full-time, locally present owner focused on selling represents immediate upside before spending a marketing dollar.
- High-End Clients Who Buy: Affluent coastal homeowners with larger tickets, less price sensitivity, and faster decisions. Many remodel in stages and come back for more.
- Every Growth Lever Is Sales and Marketing: Launch digital ads, hire a salesperson, work home shows, or build the dealer channel. None require construction skill.
- Low Overhead Model: Home based, no employees on payroll, subs paid per unit installed, warehouse staging at $800 to $1,000 per month.
