What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Maintenance Contract Mix
- Ask what percentage of revenue comes from recurring maintenance agreements versus one-time install jobs.
- Request revenue split by service type going back three years, along with renewal rates on top commercial and HOA accounts.
- Maintenance revenue that renews seasonally is predictable and transferable in a way that installation projects simply aren't.
- Businesses where more than half of revenue is recurring maintenance are much easier to finance and underwrite.
Crew Leadership Stability
- Ask how long each foreman has been in their role and what they handle day to day.
- Long-tenured foremen who manage their own crews, schedule routes, and train new hires without the owner involved are what separate a real business from an owner-dependent one.
- Find out who handles hiring when you need a new crew member — the answer tells you a lot about what your transition will actually look like.
Route Geography and Density
- Ask for a breakdown of how many jobs each crew runs in a day and how far they drive between stops.
- Crews working in a few dense zip codes generate very different economics than crews spread across a wide service area.
- Tight routes in a concentrated area mean better margins and more jobs completed per day — something worth getting excited about when you see it.
Off-Season Revenue
- Ask for monthly revenue going back two full years so you can see the off-season pattern clearly.
- Companies that add snow removal, irrigation service, or holiday lighting keep crews working and cash flowing through winter.
- Understanding how much the winter services contribute helps you plan your first full year as owner.
