Established Flooring Sales & Installation Business, 22-Year Hudson Valley Contractor

Full Editorial Writeup

This is a 22-year-old integrated flooring business operating out of Ulster County, NY, serving both residential and commercial customers across the Hudson Valley and Westchester. It sells and installs the full product range you would expect from a legitimate flooring operation: tile, carpet, hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and related materials, pairing product sales with installation services as a bundled offering. The company runs a 2,000 square foot showroom, warehouse, and office under a lease at roughly $1,109 per month, and employs a team of 10 split evenly between full-time and part-time staff.

The financial profile is clean and sizable for a trade business of this type: $3.1M in gross revenue throwing off $522,753 in cash flow, a 17 percent owner-earnings margin. At the $1,999,000 ask, that is a 3.82x multiple, which sits on the higher end for a project-based flooring installer with no recurring contracts. The low rent and lean FF&E ($75,000 included) suggest most of the value here is goodwill, reputation, and the installed sales process rather than hard assets.

The seller is retiring and offering a modest two-week transition. The business competes on price, service, and quality in a market with both remodel and new-construction demand. Growth levers called out include digital lead generation, regional expansion, and structured sales tracking, all of which point to a business that has grown on reputation and local presence rather than a built-out sales and marketing engine.
