Share on Reddit Business Description
Three subcontractor crews handle all field installation, so the business carries no field payroll and owns no crew fleet. Operations run from a home office and two month-to-month storage units - combined facility cost is under $1,700 a year. Roofing accounts for about 60% of revenue and siding about 40%, with gutters, window replacement, and painting completing the mix. Roughly 95% of work is residential, split about 65% insurance-claim and 35% retail across Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa.
2025 revenue was $1,572,447. Seller's discretionary earnings (SDE) were $174,714 in 2025 and $182,471 on a two-year average. The owner works about 30 hours a week across sales, estimating, and project management, at a market replacement salary near $80,000. Field labor runs entirely through subcontractors on a per-job basis, so the cost base scales with demand rather than fixed headcount.
A national shingle manufacturer's top contractor-certification tier supports extended warranties that non-certified contractors cannot offer. The CRM, aerial-measurement, and estimating tools transfer with the business, along with the trade name, phone number, website, and impressive Google review rating.
The owner believes the retail side is under-marketed relative to the insurance-claim base - a lane a new owner could expand without adding crews. Seller financing is available to qualified buyers. Buyers who sign a confidentiality agreement receive the full Confidential Information Memorandum, with complete financials, customer detail, and transition specifics.

- Facilities & Assets
- Home-based. Field operations run from a home office plus two month-to-month storage units with combined cost under $1,700 a year — no lease, no commercial real estate, and no facility obligation transfers with the sale. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment of approximately $42,350 at fair market value are included, along with the trade name, phone number, and website. The CRM (470 contacts), aerial-measurement, and estimating software transfer with the business. Installation runs through subcontractor crews engaged per job, so the company owns no crew fleet and carries no field-labor equipment beyond the included FF&E. A national shingle manufacturer's top contractor-certification tier supports extended warranties; the seller represents it can be reassigned to the buyer's entity, subject to the manufacturer's program agreement.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The service area spans Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa, where seasonal hail and wind activity generates recurring insurance-claim demand for roofing and exterior repair — storm damage is non-discretionary work. About 65% of revenue is insurance-claim and 35% retail, across a roughly 95% residential base. Roofing accounts for about 60% of revenue and siding 40%, with gutters, window replacement, and painting completing the mix. The regional contractor market is fragmented, made up largely of small independent operators. The company's top-tier manufacturer certification supports extended warranties that non-certified contractors cannot offer.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The owner believes the retail segment is under-marketed relative to the insurance-claim base and views it as the most direct expansion lane — added marketing spend rather than added infrastructure. Because installation runs through subcontractor crews engaged per job, capacity scales by adding crews, without fixed payroll or facility investment. Gutters, window replacement, and painting are established secondary lines the owner believes can carry more volume under the same model. The CRM transfers with 470 contacts — an existing base a buyer can market against from the first week of ownership.
About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- Family Needs
- Transition Support
- The seller offers 90 days of hands-on transition training, structured to cover a full selling-season hand-off — sales process, estimating, subcontractor crew coordination, and customer relationships. Hourly consulting is available after the initial period for items that surface later. The owner currently runs sales, estimating, and project management in about 30 hours per week; the transition moves those functions to the buyer in sequence, with the seller alongside for live jobs during the training period. A non-compete will be included in the purchase agreement. Because field installation is performed by subcontractor crews rather than employees, the operational hand-off centers on the owner's customer-facing and estimating roles — not on managing a field workforce.
