Description
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.

Facilities & Assets
Business operates from a transitional-zoned property serving as both an administrative office and a dedicated material storage yard. Included assets: 2 Bobcat loaders (compact and track loader models), 1 heavy-duty work truck, 2 material trailers, and a full complement of installation tools and power equipment. Complete technology stack transfers with sale, including CRM/automation platform and field documentation software. Real estate available as part of the transaction or separately; inclusion provides additional SBA financing collateral.
Support & Training
Seller will provide transition training covering multi-county permitting processes, CRM platform management, supplier relationships, and pricing structures. County-specific permit templates, proposal checklists, and operational workflows transfer with the sale. Transition period and scope to be negotiated based on the buyer's background.
Market & Competition
Service area ranks among the fastest-growing U.S. metros, driven by domestic migration, Baby Boomer relocation, and international buyers. Regional homes are delivered without fencing by builders, creating permanent aftermarket demand from every new residence. State building codes and insurance mandates require compliant pool fencing — non-discretionary demand unaffected by economic cycles. Competitors rely on heavy ad spend but suffer from missed appointments and variable quality.
Growth Opportunities
Infrastructure supports 3 installation crews; current operation runs 1. Adding crews could grow revenue to $3M–$4M, with near-pure incremental margins once fixed costs are absorbed by crew one. Targeted pool fence marketing represents a large, non-discretionary segment that has not been systematically pursued. Geographic expansion into adjacent high-growth counties require only localized marketing — permitting relationships already established. Builder and property management B2B channels remain fully unexplored.
