This well-established custom stone fabrication and installation company has been a key player in the Dallas-Fort Worth for over 20 years. Specializing in natural stone and engineered surfaces, the business produces and installs countertops, reception desks, breakroom surfaces, apartment kitchens and baths, and specialty features including etched lettering, carvings, crowns, trim details, and integrated sinks for commercial and multifamily construction projects. Longstanding relationships with major general contractors drive steady project flow across office buildings, healthcare facilities, warehouses, retail build-outs, and multifamily developments, with diversified work that limits customer concentration—the largest account represents about 15% of revenue. The company operates from a facility with approximately 18,000 square feet of production and office space laid out in an efficient front-to-back flow. Four CNC machines, inline processing equipment, material-handling systems, and integrated scheduling software support high-volume fabrication, while four in-house installation crews maintain direct control over job-site execution and quality. A fully staffed team of 37 (including project managers, CNC operators, fabricators, and support roles) runs daily operations with the owner currently involved only about 20 hours per week, allowing for strong operational continuity and scalability in a high-demand construction market. The owner is transitioning for family-focused reasons and will provide a structured 30-day handover with hands-on training plus up to one year of additional paid support as needed. This turnkey business offers stable cash flow through established contractor relationships, meaningful growth potential via service-line expansion such as commercial tile installation, and a solid platform in one of the country’s fastest-growing metropolitan construction markets.

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.
