Southeast / Metal Roofing Supply / ADD ON / ~$1.5MM Adj. EBITDA Company Overview The Company is a vertically integrated metal roofing manufacturer and supplier serving contractors and homeowners across the Southeast, with a strategic footprint spanning South Georgia and North Florida. Operating from a high-traffic, dual-state location near a major interstate corridor, the business benefits from strong regional demand and cross-border customer flow driven by pricing advantages and regulatory product approvals.  The Company manufactures metal roofing panels in-house and distributes complementary products including trim, accessories, and structural components. This vertically integrated model enables same-day fulfillment, tighter quality control, and superior margins relative to pure distribution competitors.

Midwest / Commercial Grinding Business / ADD ON / $2.56MM ADJ EBITDA Company Overview The business is a specialized infrastructure services provider focused on asphalt and concrete milling across key Midwestern markets. Operating as a critical subcontractor to paving contractors, the company removes and prepares surfaces for roadway and parking lot resurfacing projects, serving both public sector agencies and blue-chip commercial clients. The platform has developed a strong competitive position within a niche segment characterized by high barriers to entry, including specialized equipment requirements, union-trained labor, and long-standing relationships with departments of transportation and national accounts. The business benefits from a preferred vendor model, where paving contractors repeatedly outsource milling work to trusted partners, creating durable, repeat project flow and limited competitive bidding pressure. Revenue is diversified across public infrastructure and private commercial work. Public sector contracts provide volume stability through multi-year budgets, while commercial projects deliver premium pricing and faster payment cycles. As shown in the revenue mix charts on page 4, approximately 60% of revenue is derived from public sector work and ~40% from private customers, with a balanced mix of full-day and partial-day engagements driving consistent utilization.  Operationally, the company runs a scalable, asset-backed model supported by a fleet of specialized milling equipment, experienced crews, and centralized administrative functions. With dual operating locations and the ability to share equipment and labor across markets, the platform maintains high utilization and operational flexibility.

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.
