Santa Cruz County, California
Established Coastal California Pool Construction And Remodeling Company
$ 750,000
Main Street Realtors’ Business Opportunity Division Presents: Established Coastal California Pool Construction And Remodeling Company High end residential and commercial builder with strong referral pipeline Includes tradename, client list, subcontractor network, equipment, machinery, office, storage, and yard access § Financial Overview • Offered at $750,000 • Trailing twelve month gross revenue $2,271,412 • Trailing twelve month adjusted cash flow $404,406 • Cash flow multiple 2.35X • 10 full time employees • Machinery value approximately $20,000 • FF & E value approximately $5,000 Across the most recent ten year period, revenue ranged from approximately $736,000 to more than $2,300,000 with an overall average near $1,460,000. In the most recent five year window, annual revenue averaged closer to $1,950,000 with multiple years exceeding $2,100,000. This long run performance reflects durable demand for high end custom pool construction. § Overview This established pool construction and remodeling company has built and renovated high end residential and commercial pools for more than twenty years. Located in a desirable coastal California region, the company is known for craftsmanship, reliable execution, and a longstanding reputation supported almost entirely by referrals and repeat clients. Approximately seventy percent of revenue is generated through new pool construction and the remaining thirty percent through remodel work. Most projects fall between $350,000 and $500,000 and often include cold plunges, koi ponds, and advanced water systems. Technical trades such as plumbing, gunite, and electrical are handled by long term subcontractors. An in house team of masons completes tiling, concrete, and finish work. § Key Highlights • More than twenty years of established operations • Strong referral pipeline with virtually zero advertising spend • High value residential and commercial clientele • Typical project values between $350,000 and $500,000 • Reliable subcontractor network and skilled in house finish team • Office, yard, and storage available for lease or purchase • Comparable contractor sales support a higher multiple than current pricing § Business Details • Revenue mix approximately seventy percent new construction and thirty percent remodels • Ten full time employees • Longstanding subcontractor relationships • Office, yard, and storage available separately • Owner retiring for health reasons and prepared to support a one to two year transition • Strong operational foundation with room to scale • Profitability and Cash Flow • From June 2024 through May 2025, the company produced $2,271,412 in revenue and $404,406 in adjusted cash flow. The current 2.35X multiple positions the business competitively relative to comparable specialty contractor sales. Historical financials show fluctuations in profitability tied to operational practices. Several projects were priced with limited margin for scope changes and when clients requested modifications, work commonly continued without pausing to renegotiate terms. The emphasis on quality and craftsmanship is evident in the company’s reputation, although this approach extended timelines and increased labor hours. Change order processes were less formal than typical industry standards, and margin discipline was not consistently enforced. During the period where the company expanded into commercial work, the bidding structure, documentation requirements, and review procedures differed significantly from the residential process that had been the primary focus for many years. This shift introduced learning curve inefficiencies and contributed to tighter margins on certain jobs. With a more formalized commercial bidding approach, these projects would be expected to produce stronger and more predictable profit outcomes. These combined factors help explain the years where profitability tightened despite solid revenue and also highlight clear opportunities for improvement through structured bidding, assertive negotiation, and more efficient project management. § Summary of Prior Years EBITDA and Owner Adjusted Net A ten year review shows consistent revenue production with year to year variation driven largely by bidding discipline, change management, and operational efficiency. Reported net income includes owner salary, vehicles, fuel, depreciation, interest, and various non operational expenses that do not reflect the true earning power of the business. When these items are adjusted, EBITDA generally falls in the $100,000 to $300,000 range during typical operating years. Owner Adjusted Net, which recaptures owner compensation and other add backs, typically ranges from approximately $200,000 to $400,000 in years where project pricing and change management aligned with actual labor and subcontractor costs. These historical figures align with the trailing twelve month adjusted cash flow of $404,406 and support the business’s ability to generate strong earnings under a disciplined management approach. § Opportunity The business is well positioned for growth under a buyer who adds sales, project management, or marketing support. Greater structure around bidding, scope control, and change orders would be expected to increase profitability even without increasing volume. With deep roots in the coastal California market, strong subcontractor relationships, and a steady flow of high value projects, this company offers a rare opportunity to acquire a respected specialty contractor with meaningful upside potential. Full financials and additional documentation are available upon signing an NDA.

Established Full Service Landscape Design & Construction Company
$ 750,000
Main Street Realtors Business Opportunity Division Presents ESTABLISHED FULL SERVICE LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY Award Winning Residential Outdoor Living Specialists Includes trade name, client list, long term workforce, equipment, project portfolio, and digital assets Financial Overview • Offered at $750,000 • Average annual revenue approximately $1,490,000 • FF&E Valued at $60,000 • Machinery Valued at $150,000 •2024 EBITDA approximately $111,461 positive • Historical EBITDA generally ranged from approximately $100,000 to $300,000 depending on year Overview This established landscape design and construction company has spent decades shaping standout outdoor environments throughout the Monterey Bay and Central Coast. With more than 50 professional awards for design, installation, and craftsmanship, the company is known for creating outdoor living spaces that feel intentional, functional, and lasting. The business operates with a fully in house model. A long term team of artisans handles masonry, carpentry, irrigation, planting, lighting, ponds, water features, outdoor kitchens, and full landscape construction. This structure keeps quality consistent and gives clients a unified project experience from start to finish. Key Highlights • More than 50 industry awards • Strong regional presence with steady referral driven demand • Broad service area including Santa Cruz County, Monterey County, Carmel, Carmel Valley, Big Sur, Watsonville, Hollister, Gilroy, and Morgan Hill • Large portfolio of completed high end residential outdoor projects • Minimal subcontractor reliance • Long term relationships within the regional design and build community Business Details • Services include landscape design, project management, masonry, carpentry, planting, irrigation, lighting, water features, and complete landscape construction • Revenue has historically ranged between approximately $1,300,000 and $1,800,000 • Operations supported by a cohesive team of long tenured skilled workers • Strong client loyalty and repeat business • Assets include equipment, tools, materials, and digital brand assets Profitability and Cash Flow The company maintains a consistently strong top line, with most years showing reliable earnings once non cash and non operational items are added back. A review of the past decade shows that EBITDA has generally performed at between approximately $100,000 and $300,000 in most years. Several periods with lower net income correspond to elevated materials costs, heavy equipment repairs, interest expenses, and one time operational adjustments. These pressures appear throughout the P and Ls and help explain year to year swings even as revenue remains steady. Despite these cycles, EBITDA stayed positive in every year reviewed. In 2024, net income was approximately $163,302 negative. After adding back owner salary, interest, and depreciation, EBITDA for 2024 was approximately $111,461 positive. This indicates that even in a more difficult operational year, the underlying earnings capacity of the company remains intact. Historical earnings suggest that with modernized systems, firmer job costing, updated pricing, better change order control, and streamlined overhead, margins may return to the profitability levels reflected in the stronger years. Opportunity This offering presents an opportunity to acquire a respected, long standing landscape design and construction firm with decades of brand equity and a loyal client base. It is well suited for a contractor, landscape architect, or builder looking to enter or expand within the premium outdoor living market. A trained and reliable workforce is already in place, along with strong demand, a broad service footprint, and a large body of completed work. Full financials and supporting documents are available upon request.
