Northern New Jersey Plumbing, Heating & HVAC Contractor, 40-Year Commercial & Residential Operator

Full Editorial Writeup

This is a full-service plumbing, heating, and HVAC contractor operating in Northern New Jersey with more than four decades of history. The company serves a diversified mix of residential, commercial, institutional, and municipal customers, running an experienced full-time crew supported by roughly 14 service trucks. That capacity lets it handle everything from routine service calls and emergency repairs to larger commercial and institutional projects, which is where the real margin and stickiness tend to live in this trade.

On the numbers, the business does about $3.35M in revenue and roughly $1M in normalized SDE, a healthy ~30% owner-earnings margin for a mechanical services firm. Revenue reportedly grew about 39% between 2023 and 2025, which tells you demand is expanding and the operation is not a melting ice cube. The asking price of $5M represents a 5.0x multiple on stated SDE, which is at the higher end for a services business of this size and will need to be underwritten carefully against the true earnings quality.

What makes this attractive is the combination of licenses, a trained workforce, an owned fleet, and decades-deep commercial and municipal relationships. Those are the exact assets that create barriers to entry in the trades, where the constraint is almost always experienced licensed technicians rather than demand. It positions well as either a standalone owner-operator acquisition or a bolt-on for a larger plumbing, HVAC, mechanical, or home-services platform.
