Well-established commercial HVAC contractor serving a diversified base of commercial customers through longstanding, repeat relationships. The company performs primarily project-based work, supplemented by a rapidly expanding service and preventive-maintenance platform. Approximately 74% of revenue is generated from commercial construction and retrofit projects, including roughly 75–80% ground-up construction and 20–25% retrofit work. Service represents approximately 26% of revenue and grew approximately 150% in 2025, with 72% growth YTD in 2026. Residential service is limited to approximately 4.5% of total company revenue. The company’s annual preventive-maintenance contracts currently generate approximately $350,000 of recurring revenue. Existing agreements generally provide scheduled annual or semiannual cleaning and lubrication, while parts, repairs, replacements, and equipment upgrades are billed separately. This provides an attractive opportunity to expand recurring PM revenue while increasing service, repair, and replacement activity from the installed customer base. The customer base is diversified.

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.
