Established in 1985, this company has provided roadside and ditch cleaning services throughout Virginia, specializing in maintaining ditches by removing accumulated sediment to preserve the original design, depth, and slope for effective storm water management. As the only private entity utilizing specialized equipment for these operations, the business maintains a fleet of six advanced trucking units, each operated by skilled personnel. Crews typically consist of an equipment operator, two flaggers, a shovel operator, and a mechanic who supports both training and repairs in field or shop settings. All staff are certified in intermediate traffic control, and the team comprises nine full-time employees supplemented by day labor as needed. Traffic control staff are sourced from reputable labor companies across the state to minimize liability exposure and reduce unemployment claims. The company currently holds contracts with three VDOT residencies or districts, as well as multiple city clients, resulting in significant market coverage. In addition to its core services, the business operates an asphalt division, focusing on tennis court repairs and commercial seal coating. A recent strategic acquisition propelled total fiscal year 2025 revenue beyond $2 million, while the core business delivered exceptional financial performance, generating discretionary earnings in excess of $800,000. This acquisition strengthens the company’s existing contract base and supports sustained contractual growth. Additionally, it introduces a manufacturing component, creating a new and diversified revenue stream that further enhances long-term scalability and profitability.

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.
The estimator, project managers, and lead crews carry the business. Identify the key people, their pay, and retention after close.
Trucks, heavy equipment, and related-party rent distort earnings. Tour the fleet, check deferred maintenance, and stress the discretionary earnings.
