Description
Nearly a century of industry roots has shaped this established specialty trade business into a trusted provider for institutional, municipal, healthcare, and commercial clients across Central and South Texas. Known for dependable execution and code-compliant installations, the company has earned long-standing relationships with repeat public- and private-sector customers in a resilient, infrastructure-driven niche. The business operates as a turnkey platform with experienced installation crews, standardized project workflows, and reliable vendor partnerships already in place. For 2025, projected revenue is approximately $2.93 million, generating adjusted Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $246,900, supporting SBA financing and immediate post-acquisition cash flow. Financial performance reflects normalized operations with limited owner dependency and a defined management transition plan. Revenue is primarily project-based and diversified across essential end markets, supplemented by recurring replacement and maintenance work that reinforces customer retention and baseline stability. Forward projections indicate steady growth, with revenue trending toward $3.9 million by 2029 and expanding cash flow driven by consistent demand and disciplined cost controls. This opportunity is well suited for an owner-operator, strategic buyer, or SBA-qualified investor seeking a scalable specialty trade business with institutional credibility, durable demand, and clear paths for measured growth in a high-growth Texas corridor.

Facilities & Assets
The business operates from leased facilities that support administrative functions, estimating, material staging, and project coordination. Included in the sale are all vehicles, tools, equipment, and operating systems required for daily operations. Fabrication is outsourced through long-standing, reliable vendors, limiting capital intensity while preserving margin stability. The asset base is sufficient to sustain ongoing operations without additional capital investment, supporting a smooth ownership transition and SBA underwriting requirements.
Support & Training
The seller will provide post-closing transition support to ensure continuity of operations and client relationships. Support includes training on estimating, vendor coordination, project workflows, and introductions to key institutional and commercial accounts. Experienced crews and established processes support a smooth transition. Scope and duration are negotiable.
Market & Competition
The market is fragmented and consists primarily of local specialty installers, general contractors offering limited in-house shading solutions, and product suppliers without installation capabilities. The business competes effectively through specialized expertise, code-compliant installations, and established relationships with institutional, municipal, and commercial clients. No single competitor dominates the market, and repeat client demand provides a competitive advantage.
Growth Opportunities
Growth opportunities are execution-driven and not required to support current cash flow or debt service. Expansion can be achieved through increased field capacity, improved bid selectivity, and deeper penetration of existing institutional and commercial relationships. Additional opportunities include geographic expansion within Central and South Texas and modest growth of recurring maintenance and replacement services. All growth initiatives are incremental, controllable, and support disciplined expansion under SBA underwriting standards.
