A well-established residential contracting business operating in Northern California's Napa region is now available for acquisition. This company has built a strong foothold in the local market by addressing a genuine service gap projects that fall between what a solo handyman can handle and what a large general contractor will pursue. The business operates without a retail storefront, keeping overhead lean while field crews deliver work directly at client properties.
The service menu is broad and practical. The company regularly completes full and partial home renovations, bathroom and kitchen upgrades, garage conversions, and recurring repair and maintenance work. Core revenue is generated through carpentry and finish work, complemented by capabilities in painting, drywall, tile, basic electrical, plumbing, and select exterior work.
Because the business does not carry significant inventory and sources materials on a per-project basis, capital is not tied up in stock. The customer base is anchored by long-standing repeat accounts alongside a steady flow of individual homeowner engagements, the majority of which arrive through referrals and organic online discovery. Operationally, the business runs with a team of five field employees who cover multiple trades in-house, reducing the need for third-party subcontractors.
A seasoned lead technician oversees day-to-day field execution, manages crew quality, and ensures projects are completed to standard. The current owner dedicates roughly 25 to 35 hours per week to management functions including estimating, scheduling, billing, vendor coordination, and oversight — a manageable workload supported by a proprietary internal system that tracks projects, labor, invoices, and client records across a portfolio representing close to 2,000 properties. Financially, the business generates approximately $465,000 in annual revenue with an SDE of roughly $126,000 against a $200,000 asking price — a compelling multiple for a business with no debt, minimal inventory exposure, and documented operational infrastructure.
Growth levers remain largely untapped: structured digital marketing, expanded social media presence, and active review management could meaningfully increase inbound lead volume. A buyer with construction management experience or sales capability may find additional upside by pursuing higher-complexity remodeling contracts under the existing license. The owner is motivated by a desire to pursue new ventures and is prepared to remain involved in a consulting, employment, or transitional role at the buyer's discretion.
This flexibility — covering estimating support, scheduling, customer relations, and system training — substantially lowers transition risk and preserves the institutional knowledge built over years of consistent operation. This is a turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator or experienced tradesperson looking to step into a proven platform with immediate cash flow.
