Financial Performance: 5-Year Historical Performance (2021–2025) Average Annual Revenue: $586,334 Average Owner’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $116,661 The business has demonstrated excellent historical performance, including strong years in 2021–2023 with peak revenue over $900k. Asking Price: $99,000 Aligned with industry-standard multiples for profitable home-services businesses. Reason for Decline in Recent Years Performance in 2024–2025 softened due to: A slower renovation market on Vancouver Island, consistent with broader BC home improvement trends. Reduced owner involvement as the operator shifted focus to other regions and ventures. These factors are fully reversible with focused management, marketing consistency, and rebuilding the subcontractor network. Historical performance clearly demonstrates the territory’s potential when actively managed. Opportunity Highlights: Strong historical profitability with proven SDE above $100k+ Well-established brand presence with top Google reviews and a recognizable name High-demand market (siding, exterior renovations) Excellent franchisor support including: Lead generation systems Estimating tools Marketing programs Operations training Access to technical experts Scalable subcontractor model – no large payroll required Ideal territory demographics with ongoing new construction, renovations, and aging housing stock Low overhead / high margin business Growth Potential: A new owner can increase revenue and profits by: Reinvesting in marketing Taking on more quoting volume Rebuilding and expanding the subcontractor base Adding related exterior services (gutters, fascia, repairs) Focusing on insurance claims and higher-margin replacements Leveraging franchisor’s national campaigns With renewed attention, the business can realistically return to the $600k–$900k revenue range and $120k+ SDE that it previously achieved. Ideal Buyer: This business is perfect for: Contractors or tradespeople Project managers Home-services entrepreneurs Investors wanting a semi-absentee opportunity (once stabilized) Anyone seeking a profitable, proven business with strong support No siding experience required — the franchisor provides full training.
