Business description
HS Listing ID-72308 Established in 2016 — nearly a decade of consistent, profitable operation. Seller is a master carpenter/craftsman with over 30 years experience, who personally trains crew on specialty and detail work — a knowledge base a new owner can tap during transition Revenue has held steady in the $2.0M–$2.4M range over the past three full fiscal years Strong adjusted seller’s discretionary earnings — ranging from roughly $1.1M to $1.9M annually over the trailing three years Defensible niche position: only a handful of comparable custom builders operate in the company’s immediate high-end service area Structural cost advantage from self-performed framing/carpentry versus competitors who subcontract every trade Lean, efficient operating model — an 8-person field team with minimal management overhead Favorable regional tailwinds: sustained in-migration, a nearby university’s recent expansion, and a national housing supply shortage Owner is flexible on deal structure — open to a full sale or a majority buyout with the owner retaining a minority stake Owner willing to provide hands-on transition support to preserve client and subcontractor relationships Clear growth runway: an underpenetrated local buyer segment and adjacent commercial/light-industrial opportunities within the company’s licensing capacity A SIGNED CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THE EXACT LOCATION
