1/ Landscaping Company

📍 Location: Louisiana
💰 Asking Price: $4,500,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,200,000
📊 Revenue: $7,675,000
📅 Established: 2013

💭 My 2 Cents: Lawn care and basic landscaping are “sticky” services in warm-weather markets like New Orleans, where year-round growth sustains demand. This landscaping company provides a comprehensive suite of services (including lawn maintenance, landscape design, and irrigation), serving residential neighborhoods, commercial properties, and public spaces. They employ a staff of 20 and own significant tangible assets (vehicles, equipment, and inventory) valued at nearly $1M. I also like their strong client base, balanced mix of recurring and project work, and location in a growing metro market with year-round demand due to Louisiana’s temperate climate. I’d want to check the percentage of recurring vs. one-off revenue, any risks of client concentration, whether long-term HOA or commercial contracts are in place, the condition and useful life of their vehicles and equipment, exposure to hurricanes/flooding (both operating costs and insurance implications), and the opportunities for expanding into other markets or services (e.g., tree care, pest control). It would also be important to understand labor force stability, including turnover rates and reliance on H-2B visas or subcontractors. With the owner open to staying involved post-sale, this has the potential to be a strong turnkey acquisition.

2/ Residential & Commercial Plumbing Company

📍 Location: California
💰 Asking Price: $1,600,000
💼 EBITDA: $727,464
📊 Revenue: $1,296,587
📅 Established: 1990

💭 My 2 Cents: With demand for plumbing services resilient across economic cycles, this opportunity stands out as a well-established, highly profitable operator. I really like this plumbing company’s 35-year track record of stability, diversified service offerings, and long-tenured team that includes multiple licensed plumbers. They have strong margins, with ~75% of revenue from residential work (steady, high-frequency demand) and ~25% from commercial projects (larger-ticket, longer-duration jobs). Their home-based setup keeps overhead low, while 24/7 emergency services reinforce their reputation for responsiveness and ensure consistent call volume regardless of market conditions. Given that all their work is project-based with no long-term contracts, I’d want to understand the breakdown of service vs. install vs. remodel work (since repairs are resilient, but remodels/installations can slow in a downturn). I’d also want to check for any reliance on key accounts (property managers, HOAs, contractors), the condition of their three service trucks and equipment and whether any capex is pending, and how they staff their 24/7 emergency services. Importantly, even though a C36 plumbing license is required, the seller is open to serving as the RMO for up to 12 months.

3/ Short Term Rental Property Manager

📍 Location: Florida
💰 Asking Price: $1,100,000
💼 EBITDA: $570,088
📊 Revenue: $1,060,149
📅 Established: 2006

💭 My 2 Cents: This is an attractive vacation rental business in that it exclusively manages short-term rental properties within a Miami gated resort community featuring private marinas, championship golf, and fine dining. For 20 years, they have delivered a full suite of services. including professional marketing, guest bookings, housekeeping, maintenance, and concierge support. I really like how their longstanding relationship with the resort provides a significant barrier to potential competitors and underscores how this vacation community should continue to be a very sticky client going forward. While this has been a lucrative relationship, I’d want to understand why the business has not branched out to also service other similar resort communities. If it is possible to expand while maintaining their current exclusive relationship, this could be a great growth opportunity for a new owner. I’d also want to dig into their management fee structure, ADR (average daily rate) and occupancy trends, seasonality, % of homes under long-term agreement vs. at-will, and the balance of in-house staff vs. subcontractors. Overall, this looks like a defensible, cash-flowing niche business with both stability and potential upside for the right buyer.

4/ Commercial Painting Company

📍 Location: California
💰 Asking Price: $2,100,000
💼 EBITDA: $635,883
📊 Revenue: $1,750,000
📅 Established: 1975

💭 My 2 Cents: Painting can be very competitive, especially in a major metro like Los Angeles, which is why I was impressed that this commercial painting company has been in operation for over 50 years, speaking volumes about its quality workmanship and dependable service. On top of that, what I like about commercial painting is that it’s typically higher-ticket, repeatable work (maintenance cycles every 7–10 years), and less price-sensitive than residential projects. This company does minimal outbound advertising, relying on long-standing relationships with commercial builders, owners, and property managers, has lean overhead, and comes with about $110K in FF&E, including two trucks and four vans. I’d want to dig into their reliance on top accounts, the size and quality of their contracted backlog, how much they invest regularly in equipment like scaffolding, lifts, and sprayers, their employee vs. subcontractor mix, and the owner’s role in bidding, client relationships, and daily operations. I’d also want to understand their insurance coverage and claims history, given the potential liability in large commercial projects. For a growth-minded buyer, there’s an opportunity to expand into adjacent services (coatings, waterproofing, drywall, restoration, specialty finishes) or to pursue geographic expansion across Southern California.

5/ Residential Roofing Company

📍 Location: Florida
💰 Asking Price: $2,600,000
💼 EBITDA: $995,000
📊 Revenue: $7,500,000
📅 Established: 2017

💭 My 2 Cents: Florida’s climate virtually guarantees recurring roofing work. This Central Florida roofing contractor specializes in insurance-funded roof replacements for high-end residential clients, with complementary services including gutters, stucco, and pressure washing. I love how they provide an essential service, can count on steady demand with their diversified revenue streams, and have a rock-solid payee base secured through insurance claims. They’re a tech-enabled business with a robust CRM system and live jobsite monitoring tools, while sales are driven by a balanced mix of ~60% canvassing, ~30% digital marketing, and ~10% referrals. I’d want to scope out their current backlog and how far out their pipeline typically extends, seasonality trends, how they manage subcontractor usage, the nature, value, and condition of any included equipment, average collection times on insurance receivables along with disputes or denied-claim risk, and any pending or recent changes in Florida roofing insurance laws. They have the infrastructure for a new owner to pursue growth if desired, while their business model allows scaling up or down with demand without carrying a large overhead.
