ADD-ON Opportunity / Paving & Concrete Contractor / ~$5.7MM Revenue / ~$555K Adj. EBITDA / 60+ Year Dual-Trade Provider with Municipal & Contractor Relationships Established Paving & Concrete Contractor San Francisco Bay Area Company Overview Opportunity to acquire a long-established, family-owned paving and concrete contractor serving municipal, commercial, and residential customers throughout the San Francisco Peninsula. The company self-performs asphalt paving and concrete work using an owned fleet, cross-trained crews, and an established operating yard. Revenue is supported by recurring relationships with municipalities, utility districts, general contractors, property managers, and referral-driven residential customers. Much of the work is relationship-directed rather than sourced through open competitive bidding. Current ownership is pursuing retirement and is prepared to provide a structured transition, including customer introductions and operational knowledge transfer. Key KPIs LTM Revenue: $5.66 million LTM Adjusted EBITDA: $555,000 Adjusted EBITDA Margin: 9.8% Contracted Backlog: More than $1.5 million Management 2026 Revenue Target: Approximately $6.0 million H1 2026 Revenue Growth: 5.7% year over year Typical Project Size: $20,000 to $50,000 Approximate Bid Win Rate: 25% Municipal and Utility Relationships: 15 to 20 General Contractor Accounts: 50 to 100 Property Management Relationships: 8 to 10 Customer Revenue Mix: 42% municipal, 38% commercial, and 20% residential Service Revenue Mix: 62% asphalt, 36% concrete, and 2% sealing and striping Operating Capacity: Up to four crews Fleet: Approximately 14 trucks and two paving machines Safety Record: Zero OSHA citations in company history Investment Highlights - More than 60 years of operating history in an affluent, supply-constrained territory. - Recurring, relationship-driven revenue with limited dependence on any single project. - Asphalt and concrete capabilities under one roof, with nearly all core work self-performed. - Owned fleet and operating infrastructure capable of supporting additional growth. - Record first-half revenue performance and contracted backlog extending into the second half. - Minimal marketing investment to date, creating an opportunity for professionalized business development. - Expansion potential across existing municipal, contractor, and property-management relationships. - Attractive opportunity for a strategic operator or financial buyer seeking a regional infrastructure-services platform. Operations The company performs municipal street and utility repairs, commercial parking-lot and site work, concrete scopes, and premium residential paving. Asphalt represents the largest service category and generally offers the company’s strongest project velocity and economics. Approximately 95% of asphalt is sourced from nearby plants, helping reduce transportation time and support crew productivity. Specialty machinery is rented with operators on a project basis, limiting unnecessary fixed capital investment. Only sealing and striping are regularly subcontracted. Growth Opportunities - Add field personnel to increase utilization of the existing fleet and yard. - Expand share of wallet across established municipal and utility relationships. - Build a dedicated commercial and property-management sales function. - Introduce paid search, outbound marketing, and modern lead-generation systems. - Expand selectively into adjacent Bay Area territories. - Pursue complementary acquisitions in the fragmented regional paving market. Transaction Considerations The operating business is being offered through a confidential sale process. The corporation yard is held separately from the operating company and is expected to be available under a market-rate lease. Ownership will support an orderly transition.

Established, highly-rated residential plumbing service company in the heart of Silicon Valley. Strong margins, loyal repeat customers, and clear room to grow. This is a well-respected, independently owned plumbing service business operating throughout Santa Clara County for over five years. The company has built its reputation on five-star service, a 100% money-back guarantee (invoked only once in the company’s history), fast response times, and meticulous, clean workmanship. The result: a steady stream of repeat and referral business that continues to come in even after the owners deliberately scaled back paid advertising. The work is approximately 90% residential service and repair — leaks, clogs, water heaters/tankless, repipes, and sewer work — the high-frequency, recession-resistant “bread and butter” of the trade. The company is also equipped for higher-ticket jobs most one-truck competitors can’t touch: trenchless pipe bursting, hydro-jetting, and commercial-grade ProPress/MegaPress piping. All work is permitted and performed under an active California C-36 contractor’s license. Why this business stands out: • Exceptional profitability. 2025 gross margin of roughly 83% and seller’s discretionary earnings of about $259,000 (single-owner basis) on $814,000 of revenue. • Lean, low-overhead model. No costly commercial lease; the operation runs on a small, cross-trained team and modern field-management software (dispatching, invoicing, and inventory). • Reputation as a moat. Years of five-star Google and Yelp reviews and an established referral network of contractors and property managers drive low-cost, repeat lead flow. • Clear, fundable upside. Revenue was intentionally right-sized as the owners reduced staff and ad spend; margins expanded sharply in the process, and 2026 is rebounding (tracking roughly $90,000/month, well above 2025’s pace). A hands-on owner can reactivate advertising, raise a price book that hasn’t been updated in 2–3 years, launch the long-planned membership program, and restore after-hours service to grow from here. Ideal buyer: A licensed plumber or an existing trade/home-services company seeking an established, profitable, turnkey platform in one of the country’s strongest service markets. A California C-36 license (held by the buyer or a qualifying employee) is required to operate. Serious, qualified buyers will receive a detailed Confidential Information Memorandum after signing a nondisclosure agreement. Please do not visit the business or contact employees or customers.

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating building and construction business acquisitions.
Signed contracts, change-order patterns, and bonding capacity tell you what you're really buying; a big trailing year with an empty pipeline is a trap, and bonding is often tied to the owner personally.
Many trades require a licensed qualifier that may leave with the seller. Verify what you must hold before you can legally operate.
A plumbing or HVAC company with a service-and-maintenance base is worth far more than one living on new-construction bids — service agreements generate steady recurring revenue and replacement leads.
Receivables, retainage, and work-in-process tie up real cash between billing and collection; establish the need and whether it's in the deal.
