A 40+ year-old specialty distributor of diversified building materials with a loyal customer base is available for acquisition to qualified buyers via an estate sale, managed by M&A Business Advisors. The business serves approximately 1,200 active contractor and end-user accounts from a strategically located facility in Southern California, with a delivery footprint spanning Kern, Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside counties.

Three-year (2023–2025) average adjusted SDE of approximately $393K, with a peak of $599K in 2023 and a 2025 trough of $97K driven by two main factors:

1. Region-wide softness in SoCal construction activity in 2025. Industry forecasts project a recovery 4.5% CAGR for U.S. building materials through 2029, with repair-and-renovation demand on common SoCal stucco type buildings.
2. A change of leadership at the helm of the company which has been underperforming since the prior owner died and the company managed by other family members of the deceased owner’s estate.

The opportunity is positioned for a strategic industry operator or a private equity buyer with an existing platform in building materials distribution to acquire and improve the business as it has suffered from a lack of leadership since the owner's death.
