Asking Price
This deal represents a masterclass in operational efficiency and market positioning. At a 43.5% cash flow margin on $2.45M revenue, this 2018-founded roofing company is generating nearly $1.1M in annual cash flow with just 2 employees—that's over $500K per team member, suggesting a highly systematized operation built on premium pricing and strategic subcontractor relationships. The storm restoration niche is particularly lucrative because insurance claims create predictable, high-ticket revenue streams while the company's position as the market's highest-rated contractor gives them pricing power and first-call advantage when hail storms roll through Colorado's Front Range. The 3x earnings multiple is actually reasonable given the capital-light model, defensive recession characteristics of roof repairs, and the fact that climate volatility is increasing storm frequency across the region.

Verdict: Premium operator in a fragmented market with massive upside for a buyer who can scale operations

What We're Tracking

  • Service businesses with recurring revenue models are commanding premium multiples—the multi-state landscape platform at 8x and the specialty restoration business at 2.7x both reflect investor appetite for predictable cash flows
  • High-margin, low-headcount operations are the week's theme: the roofing company generating $533K per employee and the carpet cleaning business with 68% margins show that capital-light service models continue to outperform asset-heavy operations
  • Climate-driven service businesses are hot—between storm restoration roofing in Colorado, wildlife removal in Florida, and HVAC in the Northeast, smart buyers are positioning in sectors that benefit from weather volatility and aging housing stock
