1/ Residential Roofing Company
📍 Location: Texas
💰 Asking Price: $2,600,000
💼 EBITDA: $657,000
📊 Revenue: $4,885,000
📅 Established: 1984
💭 My 2 Cents: Texas sees more hailstorms than any other state, averaging over 600 per year, and this 40-year-old Dallas roofing company has built its business on being there when the storms hit. They have been hitting $4.5-5M in revenue consistently year after year, built almost entirely on referrals and repeat customers from a 5-star reviewed operation. The business model is elegantly simple: 90% roof replacement, 10% gutters, minimal advertising, and a lean structure with one long-tenured W2 office manager and 1099 crews that scale with demand. The DFW market offers built-in upside because hailstorm years can push revenue to $8-12M, and the area is statistically overdue for one. I like the growth opportunity from adding basic marketing and sales activities that the current owners have never pursued. I'd want to understand how much of the business comes from insurance claims vs. retail (homeowner-paid) jobs and the average crew tenure, since 1099 crews can take other jobs or leave entirely. For a buyer who can layer on digital marketing while maintaining the service quality that built this reputation, the ceiling is significantly higher than current revenue suggests.
2/ Commercial HVAC and Refrigeration Contractor
📍 Location: Southern California / Arizona
💰 Asking Price: $6,800,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,134,095
📊 Revenue: $4,761,023
📅 Established: 1994
💭 My 2 Cents: When you're servicing 1,000 locations for 50 national restaurant and retail chains, you either deliver or you're out. This commercial HVAC contractor has figured out how to deliver, maintaining 80%+ performance scores where the industry target is 85%, which keeps contracts auto-renewing year after year. The relationships run through major facilities management companies, and once you're in and performing, the work keeps flowing. What jumped out at me is their 90% preventive maintenance mix. Most commercial HVAC contractors lean on installation and emergency repairs, so this kind of recurring, scheduled revenue is uncommon. Their 23.8% margins are also respectable, reflecting the premium that reliability commands. While the asking price may seem high, it does include real estate appraised at $1M. That said, I'd want to understand how concentrated revenue is across the top IFM relationships, how realistic that 40% growth projection is for 2026, and what technician retention looks like since EPA certifications and refrigerant licenses aren't easy to replace. While the asking price is on the higher end, the contracted revenue visibility and growth trajectory could justify it for a buyer who sees this as a platform to bolt on additional service territories.
3/ Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic
📍 Location: Washington State
💰 Asking Price: $3,600,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,018,290
📊 Revenue: $1,497,762
📅 Established: 2013
💭 My 2 Cents: Traditional Chinese Medicine occupies an interesting niche where patient loyalty tends to be high and competition from corporate consolidators is minimal. This clinic's 12-year track record, proprietary treatment protocols, and appointment-only model have created a practice that maximizes practitioner productivity while building a strong recurring patient base. The six treatment rooms and low overhead structure suggest the operation is right-sized for profitability rather than optimized for growth at any cost. That said, I'd want to understand the practitioner staffing model (is this dependent on one or two key acupuncturists?), verify the insurance reimbursement landscape for TCM in Washington State, and assess the patient acquisition funnel (does the clinic get referrals from MDs, chiropractors, or physical therapists?). The rising interest in integrative medicine could expand the addressable market, but the real play here is the cash flow machine this practice has become.
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Irving had spent the last 20 years in corporate at a wealth management firm.
He realized there were only two paths in corporate: stagnant and passive (clocking in, clocking out, waiting for your two weeks of vacation), or hyper-competitive (constantly sharp, demanding your time, hoping for equity or a good bonus).
Within just over a year of joining SMB Deal Hunter Pro, our business buying accelerator, Irving and his wife closed on a ~$5.56M physical therapy practice in Texas cash-flowing $1.3M/year.
In this interview, he shares how we helped him:
✅ Save nearly $1M over the next 10 years (due to a little-known tax rule)
✅ Handle a tough negotiation all the way to the end of the deal (leading to Irving getting a $400k seller note and keeping the seller on for his PT license)
✅ Bring down the price of the deal by $135k during due diligence.
4/ Telecommunications Infrastructure Contractor
📍 Location: Northern California
💰 Asking Price: $16,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $4,250,000
📊 Revenue: $16,000,000
📅 Established: 2009
💭 My 2 Cents: With $25 million in contracted backlog and Fortune 500 telecom clients across five western states, this is infrastructure contracting at scale. The company specializes in directional boring, trenching, and aerial cabling for telecommunications buildouts, the kind of work that keeps recurring as carriers expand coverage and upgrade networks. The 26% margin tells me they've moved past the commoditized end of construction contracting into specialized work that commands better pricing. What's particularly attractive is the recurring relationship model with major telecom companies; once you're qualified and performing, the work keeps flowing. I also like that they come with $6 million in equipment and vehicles and their 50+ employee operation, which suggests genuine scale and systems. I'd want to understand the contract terms with major clients, the renewal rates historically, and whether there's customer concentration risk if one carrier shifts strategy. With infrastructure bill money still flowing and 5G buildouts far from finished, the demand side looks solid for the foreseeable future.
5/ Landscaping Business
📍 Location: Southwest Florida
💰 Asking Price: $1,299,000
💼 EBITDA: $423,267
📊 Revenue: $2,061,855
📅 Established: 2002
💭 My 2 Cents: Southwest Florida's landscaping market offers year-round work and an affluent clientele, and this operation has built the infrastructure to capture it. With 15 employees including crew leaders and a field supervisor, the business runs with minimal owner involvement, making it genuinely suitable for an absentee owner or an operator looking to bolt on new territory. The recurring maintenance contracts provide revenue predictability, while the long-term client relationships signal service quality that keeps accounts sticky. I like that they’re located in a growing market which is going to bring new properties that need ongoing maintenance, and that the existing team can scale to handle additional volume without proportional overhead increases. That said, I'd want to verify the contract renewal rates, understand the seasonal revenue patterns (even in Florida), and assess the labor situation given immigration policy impacts on landscaping crews. Ultimately, you're skipping the hardest part of building a landscaping business: finding reliable people and figuring out how to keep them.

RECENT PODCAST EPISODE
Savannah went from McKinsey consultant to owner-operator of Midway Electric in Columbia, Missouri.
She and her partner Brian Wolfe (who I interviewed previously) have closed two home services deals and are laser focused on building a long-term holding company, Funded Ventures.
Here are some of the highlights from the deep dive:
🔥 How Savannah went from "ETA skeptic" to running an electrical company in a market where she doesn't exactly look like the typical president
🔥 The state of the business when they bought it (everything was on paper, hourly rates were 40% below market, and the owners were barely holding on)
🔥 How they turned it around in months, including the pricing conversation with the team that actually got buy-in
🔥 Why they're willing to go "super, super small" on acquisitions when everyone else says to go bigger
And for our audio-only listeners, jump in and listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!
THAT’S A WRAP
See you tomorrow!
