TL;DR: 15+ years, 5.0 stars, A+ BBB. Trailing-twelve cash flow is $278,598 on $442,534 of revenue against a $299,000 asking price — roughly one times earnings. The subcontractor crew is in place so the business can be run two ways:
1. owner-operated for $278k SDE
or
2. 100% subcontractor style with ~$150k SDE for an owner-manager.

This established hardwood flooring business has spent more than 15 years building a profitable, reputation-driven operation — now generating approximately $420,000 in trailing-twelve-month revenue and roughly $278,000 in seller's discretionary earnings, with momentum still building. It specializes in hardwood installation, refinishing, staining, and repairs for homeowners across the affluent western Chicago suburbs.

Growth comes from referrals and repeat customers rather than paid advertising, backed by long-standing distributor relationships. A state-of-the-art dust-containment refinishing system sets the company apart, and a 5.0-star Google rating and A+ BBB standing reflect consistent quality. Proven estimating, scheduling, and job-execution systems keep work moving, with a healthy backlog ready for new ownership.

The business runs lean as a hands-on, owner-operated team — bilingual, with a part-time employee and a subcontractor. Ample runway remains: expansion into the City of Chicago, laminate and pre-finished product lines, added crews for simultaneous jobs, and largely untapped digital marketing.

Facilities & Assets
A mobile, home-based operation with low overhead and no retail lease. Assets include approximately $45,000 in vehicles and equipment — two cargo vans, professional Bona and American Sanders sanding gear, the proprietary dust-containment system, and a full set of installation, staining, and repair tools — all included in the asking price. A detailed equipment list is available to qualified buyers upon request.
Market Outlook / Competition
Hardwood flooring sits within an approximately $34B U.S. flooring installation industry, with refinishing growing roughly 6% annually as homeowners renovate rather than relocate. Glen Ellyn and the affluent surrounding DuPage County suburbs feature high incomes (median household income approximately $141K), strong homeownership, and older housing stock — ideal for installation and refinishing demand. In a franchise-dominated market, this independent, owner-operated specialist stands out with a 5.0-star Google rating and A+ BBB standing.
Opportunities for Growth
Growth paths are well-defined: expand geographically into the City of Chicago beyond the current suburban base; diversify into laminate and pre-finished material sales; and add crews to run simultaneous jobs and convert more of the existing backlog. Digital marketing and social media have been largely untapped — the business relies primarily on referrals — so targeted online advertising could open a new client channel in a growing, high-income service area.
About the Sale
