Revenue streams encompass both supply-only sales and full installation services for homeowners, contractors, and builders, with garage door sales conducted on a supply-only basis. The operation benefits from a high-visibility highway location featuring both retail showroom and manufacturing capabilities. Financial performance demonstrates consistent growth trajectory, with fiscal year 2025 generating revenue of $1,131,701 and seller's discretionary earnings of $197,789, representing a 17.5% SDE margin and achieving three-year highs in both metrics. Entry door systems constitute approximately 63% of total revenue, with diversified product lines including vinyl windows, interior doors, storm doors, garage doors, hardware, and installation services comprising the balance. Operational advantages include factory-direct pricing capabilities and favorable local tax structure with sales tax rates at half the statewide rate, enhancing competitive positioning on retail transactions. The manufacturing component provides scheduling flexibility and quality assurance while supporting rapid order processing. Expansion opportunities exist in roofing, siding, and kitchen and bath product categories, leveraging existing showroom infrastructure and installation capabilities. Installation services, currently representing 10.7% of revenue despite 54% growth since 2023, present significant value capture potential through increased attachment to supply orders. Digital marketing infrastructure remains underdeveloped, with modernization opportunities in website functionality, online quoting systems, and expanded advertising investment from the current 0.9% of revenue allocation.

Turnkey LED retrofit and lighting integrator serving a roster of Class A institutional landlords, premier sports venues, and top facilities across the NYC market (one of the most demanding commercial real estate environments in the country). Regulatory tailwinds on commercial lighting compliance creates its own demand. This isn’t a volume shop chasing every job that comes through the door. The Company has spent years earning “preferred vendor” status with sophisticated property managers and GCs who need flawless, non-union execution inside fully occupied, design-sensitive buildings. This is one of only a handful of non-union electrical contractors granted access to some of these institutional portfolios at all. 2026 is shaping up well. The business is on pace for $1.5-2M in revenue. Two active opportunities exceeding $1M each came in purely through GC and project management relationships, not the anchor institutional account — the growth potential extends well beyond any top client. With real runway left untapped, the current owner is regularly turning away new work simply due to bandwidth and client selectivity, while spending part time hours a week keeping things running. A buyer with more time, capital, or a sales-focused hire, could meaningfully scale this without inventing a new strategy. What the business does: End-to-end LED retrofit and high-efficiency lighting conversions: audit, design, procurement, installation, and optimization Advanced lighting controls integration Ongoing project flow driven by energy code compliance and corporate ESG mandates, not one-off discretionary spend Remote/On-site, no electrical license/permit held by the business How it performs financially: 50%+ gross margins Lean, efficient operating structure Strong cash position with minimal debt Long-tenured client relationships, several spanning years, with high repeat/referral rates Building owners and facilities managers aren’t choosing whether to modernize lighting, they’re required to, between tightening energy codes and corporate sustainability mandates. That makes this demand structural, not cyclical. Even data centers built for AI workloads need compliant lighting infrastructure. This business is positioned directly in the path of that demand.

Asset-light business, ~$665K revenue and 28.5% owner-earnings margin, that held revenue through a paused top account and has a financeable path to seven figures. This is a rare chance to acquire a profitable, asset-light concrete floor-coatings company in one of the fastest-growing metropolitan markets in the country. In its first full year of operation, the business generated roughly $665,000 in revenue and approximately $190,000 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings, a 28.5% margin, on a low-overhead, job-costed model that requires no owned real estate. The company installs premium epoxy and polyaspartic floor systems for two complementary customer bases. About half of revenue comes from residential garages, patios, and workshops in a fast-growing suburban housing market. The other half comes from a rapidly expanding commercial and facility channel, including recurring, travel-ready work for national multi-location accounts sourced through an established franchise network. That commercial channel is the real growth engine, and it reaches well beyond the local territory. What sets this business apart is quality and technical credibility, not price. It has earned a 5.0 rating across 80-plus third-party reviews and was recognized as the top-performing location in its national network in its very first full year. Its crew is trusted with national commercial installations, a level of operational trust few competitors in the network can claim. A genuine technical edge, moisture-tolerant coating systems suited to a humid climate, lets the company win premium bids and avoid the costly failures that plague lower-quality installers. The operating model is built for flexibility. The owner already runs the business largely remotely at roughly 30 to 40 hours per week, while a fully cross-trained crew executes jobs independently. That makes it attractive to a hands-on owner-operator, or to a buyer who adds a single dedicated salesperson to move toward a near-absentee model. The most telling number here is a durability one. After a soft first quarter in early 2026, the business rebounded to a record revenue month in June and is tracking to full-year revenue at or above its prior year, and it did so even though its largest commercial account paused new orders for much of the year on the customer's side. The everyday business grew to fill the gap, and that account is expected to resume in the coming year, which would add volume back on top of an already larger base. The seller is relocating out of state, an exit unrelated to the health of the business, and will support a smooth transition. The path to seven-figure revenue is visible and financeable: add a second crew using equipment the business already owns, secure a discounted adjacent territory offered by the franchisor, expand the national commercial channel, and increase marketing spend that has a proven return. Priced to clear SBA debt-service coverage after a market owner's salary, this opportunity is accessible to qualified individual buyers, search funds, and strategic acquirers alike. Qualified buyers can request the full Confidential Information Memorandum, which includes complete financial detail, the company profile, customer and asset schedules, and growth modeling, by executing a Non-Disclosure Agreement with Atlantic Coast Business Advisors.

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.
