This is a rare opportunity to acquire a category-leading hardwood flooring contractor with $445,000 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, a 46-year operating history, and a referral-driven demand engine that functions with virtually no paid marketing.
• Reason for Sale: Owner relocation and lifestyle transition
• Established: 1979 (second-generation business)
• Semi-remote ownership for the past 5 years
Operating for more than four decades, the company is a dominant player in the high-end residential flooring market across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. Approximately 90% of all revenue is generated from repeat customers and referrals, underscoring deep market trust and a reputation that competitors cannot replicate.
Why This Business Wins:
• $445,000 SDE on $2.9M in annual revenue
• 46-year brand legacy with unmatched local recognition
• W-2 in-house crews only (no subcontractors) — rare, defensible, and operationally superior
• Luxury residential focus (95%) with pricing power and margin stability
• Consistent 2–4 week backlog with minimal seasonality
• Minimal marketing spend — demand driven by reputation and relationships
• Turnkey management structure with long-tenured staff (5–30 years)
The business specializes exclusively in high-end hardwood installation, refinishing, repairs, and custom stair work, avoiding low-margin general contracting and price-driven competition.
Operationally De-Riske
• The company employs 14 full-time W-2 employees, many of whom have been with the business for decades. This eliminates subcontractor dependency, reduces quality risk, and ensures consistent execution — a major advantage in skilled trades.
• Day-to-day operations are supported by a proven internal management structure, allowing the business to function without owner micromanagement. Financials and payroll are managed through QuickBooks and Gusto, making the operation immediately transferable to a new owner.
This is not a distressed sale. The business is profitable, stable, and well-regarded. The sale is driven purely by a personal relocation decision, not performance.
Facilities & Assets:
• Operations are run from an approximately 3,000 SF facility on Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, CA, offering prime visibility and freeway access. The lease is transferable, and the landlord is open to longer-term arrangements.
Included in the sale:
• ~$115,000 in FF&E
• Company-owned vehicles and professional-grade tools
• Customer database, referral relationships, and trade name
• A 46-year reputation in an affluent, renovation-driven market
Immediate Upside Opportunities
A disciplined buyer can unlock additional upside through:
• Expanding digital and social media marketing (currently underutilized)
• Increasing commercial and insurance-related flooring work
• Strengthening designer and contractor referral partnerships
• Local owner-operator presence to capture incremental margin
Positioning:
This is not a turnaround.
This is a cash-flowing, reputation-driven platform business with downside protection, operational stability, and clear growth levers.
Ideal Buyer:
• Owner-operators
• Strategic buyers in home services or construction
• Family offices seeking stable cash flow
• Acquisition entrepreneurs pursuing defensible trades businesses
