Roofing, Siding & Window Replacement Contractor, Southwest Ohio

Full Editorial Writeup

This is a full-service exterior contractor in Southwest Ohio handling roofing, siding, and window replacement for what is almost certainly a mix of residential and light commercial customers. The business generates $7M in revenue against $1.8M in cash flow, which pencils to a roughly 26% owner-earnings margin, and the listing claims gross margins consistently north of 50%. For a trades business of this size, those are genuinely strong numbers that suggest disciplined pricing, good crew productivity, or a healthy mix of insurance and retail work.

Roofing and exterior replacement sits in the sweet spot of home services: the work is non-discretionary when a roof leaks or storm damage hits, and a meaningful share of demand is insurance-funded rather than tied to homeowner discretionary spending. Ohio weather drives a steady replacement cycle through hail, wind, and winter freeze-thaw, which supports repeat demand decade over decade. The combination of roofing plus siding plus windows lets the company capture a larger share of each exterior project and smooth the lumpiness that pure roofers face.

At a 3.33x cash flow multiple, this is priced like a trades business rather than a platform, which is appropriate. The open questions that will make or break the deal are how much of the margin and growth depend on the current owner's selling and estimating involvement, and how reliant the volume is on storm cycles versus steady planned replacement work.
