The business provides commercial refrigeration, air conditioning, heating, ventilation, and electrical services, with field technicians cross-trained to service both rooftop HVAC and refrigeration equipment on a single call — a dual-trade capability uncommon among Northeast contractors that positions the Company as a single-source provider for multi-site chains. Under current ownership since 2008, the business has grown from three service vans into a 32-employee, ~25-vehicle regional platform operating from a new, purpose-built 9,680 sq ft headquarters.

The Company generated $8.8M of revenue in the twelve months ended May 2026, up from $7.6M in the prior fiscal year, supported by a recurring base of preventive-maintenance agreements (three visits per year) and a dual HVAC/refrigeration service model that few Northeast competitors can match.

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly systematized residential services company operating in one of the fastest-growing Sun Belt markets in the United States. This business has built an exceptional market reputation — earning hundreds of five-star Google reviews — through operational excellence rather than aggressive advertising, making it a standout performer in a fragmented, high-demand industry. The business completes 250+ jobs annually at average ticket sizes of $4,000–$6,000, generating $1,532,516 in 2025 revenue. Gross margins have remained remarkably consistent at 36%–42% across all three operating years — evidence of disciplined pricing and reliable supplier relationships. The company maintains approximately $100,000 in cash reserves, operates with minimal accounts receivable, and benefits from a customer deposit structure (50%–90% upfront) that creates a self-funding working capital model with virtually no capital tied up in inventory. What makes this business extraordinary is not just what it earns — it is how it operates. A lean technology stack automates customer communications, payment processing, permitting workflows, and job scheduling. A skilled full-time field operations manager handles all on-site estimates, crew oversight, and quality control. The current owner manages administrative functions and strategic direction — often requiring as few as two hours per week during steady-state operations. The result is a business that largely runs itself and is ready for a new owner to grow immediately from day one. The competitive advantage is operational excellence, systematically delivered. While competitors rely on high-volume marketing and tolerate inconsistent results, this company wins through responsiveness: same-day estimate scheduling, detailed proposals delivered within 24 hours, on-time installations with proactive communication, and a multi-point quality inspection on every single job. These practices are documented and repeatable — they transfer cleanly to a new owner. The market is exceptional. The service area sits at the intersection of three powerful demographic tailwinds: domestic migration from high-cost northern states, Baby Boomer retirement relocation, and international residential buyers. Homes in this region are not delivered with fencing by builders, creating permanent aftermarket demand from every new residence — and tens of thousands of housing units are in active development across the service area right now. A significant portion of demand is entirely non-discretionary: state building codes and homeowners' insurance policies mandate compliant fencing around residential pools, creating steady, recession-resistant need regardless of renovation budgets or economic cycles. The business currently operates with one installation crew despite having the infrastructure, equipment, and supplier relationships to support three. Current ownership has deliberately constrained growth to protect service quality, leaving a strategic buyer with a clear, quantifiable path to double or triple revenue through crew expansion, targeted pool fence marketing, and geographic growth into adjacent high-demand markets where permitting relationships are already established. This is a turnkey acquisition of a business that has already solved the hard problems — service delivery, multi-jurisdictional permitting expertise, crew management, and reputation — while leaving the growth playbook largely unexecuted. Real estate is included in the asking price and provides additional collateral for SBA financing. Qualified buyers who sign the NDA will receive the full Confidential Information Memorandum.

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.
