Home Services
Selling a home services business.
We built and sold in the trades ourselves. This is the industry we know from the driver's seat.
What buyers pay for
Route density, agreements, and a bench
Private equity has consolidated the trades for a decade, and the playbook is consistent: recurring service agreements, route density, and a technician bench that doesn't depend on the owner's truck. A company with those three earns a platform multiple; without them it's priced as an add-on.
What kills deals
Add-backs that don't survive
The trades run on owner add-backs — the truck, the family payroll, the job that ran through the business. We know which ones survive diligence and which ones cost a seller a turn of EBITDA, because we've defended both kinds at a closing table.
Our track record here
Built, scaled, sold
David founded Crawl Space Brothers and sold it to a private-equity-backed strategic acquirer. Aaron founded, operated, and exited companies in the blue-collar trades. When a buyer talks technician retention, we've lived the answer.
How it runs
The same process, month by month
From the valuation read to the wire clearing, the full timeline is on our Process page — including the part where diligence finds something.
