Professional Handyman/Home Improv. Business nets well over 6 figures!
Business Description
Professional Established Handyman Service/Home improvement contractor business for sale.
The business offering includes Customer Base, Professionally designed Website and existing on-line presence, goodwill, name, and training.
We have many residential, commercial, landlords and real estate investors as regular ongoing customers. Our niche is direct owner contact with the customer, providing the best quality work and phenomenal customer service.
We currently have 2 technicians and other sub-contractor business relationships with that we refer business to, if we do not provide the type of work the customer needs. These referrals provide additional revenue streams.
We specialize in smaller jobs, anything from replacing a faucet or light fixture, installing ceiling fans, assembly of the customer's furniture, putting together sports equipment, any type of carpentry work, tile installation, molding work, painting jobs, any mechanical repair, even appliance repairs. We also do complete cleanouts and hauling when the situation arises.
We always get our foot in the door by accepting any "small job" which always leads to more work and sometimes much bigger jobs. We never turn any work down because it is a "small job"! This policy has led to many bathroom and kitchen remodels, sometimes ending up in a whole home remodel, roofs, windows, interior and exterior painting, siding etc.
We have always been honest and fair to our customers and have guaranteed our work. This has built a huge amount of trust and repeat and referral business.
My LLC has had the same name and filed for over 40 years in New Jersey and previously California.
I love my business! The truth is that I am just getting too old to do it, and some health issues have also forced me to slow down, even though I don't want to. When you have found what you love to do, it really isn't work. Being out there every day always leads to more opportunities, but physical health is a different factor. That is the only reason I am selling this business that I love so dearly. It has been profitable from day one. I can teach you all of the intricacies to be profitable. This is a hands-on business in my opinion. At least from the start.
I am able to stay on to train you for 1 year or so if needed and you will learn from the best how to continue to build and maintain a successful profitable business. You will be able to call me anytime for advice because I want you to succeed and take this business to the next level.
You can easily increase revenue to over 1 million per year by hiring qualified technicians to build the business further. The reason I have not done so, was because I am a control freak and have always enjoyed doing most of the work myself. I have chosen to keep my business small and super profitable and this has worked for me.
It is so rare that we have to go back to a customer to redo a job because I believe in spending the extra 5 minutes to do it right the first time. Our recall rate is well under 1%.
We are not a custom builder or a custom furniture or cabinet shop, however where you take the business would be up to you. I have found in my years of experience that if it isn't available at Home Depot or Lowe's or Costco, I just don't supply it. It's just not worth the time to me to supply custom products or to research them, when you can use off the shelf products which are less expensive and returnable if they don't work out!
Included in the sale is a professionally built and well-established website with new business constantly coming in from it. It is set up that the leads come directly to me, every time someone requests a service.
Included is also over 100 5 star reviews on Yelp which has also helped me build my customer base.
I am willing to finance the sale of this business with a significant down payment.
If you are passionate about this business, want to make a profit from DAY 1, and want to learn from the best, please inquire.
