🏠 Home & Field Services: 10 Businesses For Sale 🏠
Home and field services are the quiet compounders of small business: pools get serviced, lawns get cut, panels get wired, pests get treated, and the invoices repeat every season regardless of what the stock market does. This issue collects ten services deals across the pipeline, led by a Vermont pool company clearing $450K and a Carolina electrical contractor at a 48% reported margin. Reply to this email with the deal number(s) and we will send you the details.
👋 Hey Team!
Welcome to all the new subscribers who joined this week!

#85 - Swimming Pool Company | Milton, VT
📍 Location: Milton, VT 🏷️ Asking Price: $850,000 🆔 Business ID: Confidential 💰 Cash Flow: $450,000 (owner-reported) 📈 Gross Revenue: $1,700,000 📊 Business Type: Swimming Pool Sales, Installation & Service 🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated 🔥 Under 2x Cash Flow! | 26% Margin! | Retirement Sale!
✅ Key Highlights:
• $850,000 asking against $450,000 in owner-reported cash flow is under 2x, an aggressive price for a business with this margin profile.
• Pool companies pair one-time installation revenue with recurring service and chemical accounts, and the service book is what buyers pay for.
• $1.7M in revenue in a market with limited competition and long customer relationships.
• A straightforward retirement sale from an owner open to discussing structure.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Service agreements, openings and closings, and retail chemical sales stack recurring revenue on top of installs.
• Hot tubs, pool automation, and renovation work widen the offer without widening the territory.
📌 Summary:
A seasonal business with year-round economics when the service book is run right. Verify the cash flow in diligence; at this multiple the line to look at this one will be short.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.

#92 - Residential Electrical Contractor | Mebane / Chapel Hill, NC
📍 Location: Mebane / Chapel Hill, NC 🏷️ Asking Price: $650,000 🆔 Business ID: Confidential 💰 Cash Flow: $265,000 (owner-reported SDE) 📈 Gross Revenue: $550,000 📊 Business Type: Residential Electrical Contracting 🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated 🔥 48% Reported Margin! | Research Triangle Growth Corridor! | Retirement Sale!
✅ Key Highlights:
• $265,000 in owner-reported SDE on $550,000 in revenue is a 48% margin, a number that says specialized work and disciplined pricing. Verifying it is the first diligence task.
• Electrical is one of the trades consolidators pay premiums for, and licensed capacity is the scarcest resource in the industry.
• The Mebane and Chapel Hill corridor sits in one of the fastest-growing regions of North Carolina.
• Retirement sale from an owner open to discussing terms.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• EV chargers, panel upgrades, and generator installs are structural demand drivers for residential electricians.
• Adding one licensed crew roughly doubles capacity in a market that can absorb it.
📌 Summary:
A licensed trade in a growth corridor with a retiring owner. If the margin verifies anywhere near the reported number, this prices like a gift.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.
