Remodeling / GC Platform Acquisition – Massachusetts
Strong Digital Lead Flow | Seller Financing | Built-In Apprenticeship

Priced for a rapid transaction at ~2x EBITDA.
Why It’s Interesting
🏠 80% residential / 20% commercial
🔁 30–40% repeat + referral volume
⭐ Strong online reviews + consistent inbound digital demand
📈 Aging housing stock + recurring exterior/remodeling needs
🚀 Scalable via added crew leaders + expanded marketing
Unique Seller Bonus: 6-Month Apprenticeship + Ongoing Advisory
As part of the transition, the seller is including a 6-month paid apprenticeship program, designed to fully onboard the incoming owner or operator into the high-end specialty and general contracting business.
This is a meaningful differentiator for buyers who may not come from a hands-on construction background.
During the apprenticeship, the buyer will:
Learn how to analyze, estimate, and price jobs accurately
Gain a working mastery of residential remodeling operations
Understand subcontractor management, margins, and job sequencing
Learn directly from the founder how to run projects profitably and professionally
After the apprenticeship, the seller is also open to remaining on as a paid advisor, providing continuity, institutional knowledge, and risk reduction during scale-up.

Buyer may run the business day-to-day while learning directly from the founder

Buyers who prefer an earn-in / staged buyout model
The seller is pragmatic, collaborative, and motivated to see the business continue to grow under new leadership.
