Established Residential Roofing Company, 47-Year High-End Re-Roof Contractor

Full Editorial Writeup

This is a residential roofing contractor operating since 1978, nearly five decades of continuous operation with a reputation built around high-end work. Roughly 80% of the revenue comes from larger custom homes and premium residential re-roof projects, which is a meaningfully better mix than the storm-chasing and bottom-bidding that defines most of the roofing trade. The company runs on roughly $8.5M of annual revenue with a historical band of $7M to $10M, carried by more than 20 employees plus licensed subcontractors.

The business is debt-free and includes the equipment, tools, vehicles, estimating systems, and operational software needed to keep running on day one. Management infrastructure and key operational personnel are expected to stay through and after a sale, which matters a great deal in a trade where the owner is often the only person who can price a job. The retiring owner is offering transition support.

EBITDA is stated at $1.4M against an $8.5M revenue base, a roughly 16% margin, though the listing also flags earnings historically ranging from $700K to $1.4M. That spread is the whole ballgame: at $1.4M this is a 6x deal, at $700K it is a 12x deal. The asking price of $8.5M (identical to revenue) and the earnings volatility are the two things a buyer needs to pin down before this becomes interesting.
