Ascension Home Services

Ascension Home Services keeps the outside of North County San Diego homes looking new. Half the year its crews wash windows, roofs, gutters, solar panels and driveways. The other half they hang Christmas lights: custom-cut strands the company owns and rents out, installs, maintains, takes down and stores for the same houses year after year. The two seasons fit together, so eight employees and five trucks stay busy from January through December. Roughly eighty percent of the work is residential, most of it along the Highway 56 to 78 corridor, and the company has close to six hundred Google reviews to show for it. Nearly two thirds of revenue comes from customers who call back.

The founders are a husband and wife. He started cleaning windows himself in 2017, incorporated in 2019 and added the lighting division in 2020. By 2026 the business ran on an operations manager and an office manager rather than on him, and the couple were ready for a different life abroad. His one hard condition for a buyer was that those two managers keep their jobs. He preferred a local operator with a bank loan over a private equity roll-up, and he agreed to stay through the 2026 light season so the handoff would land before the busiest weeks of the year.

The profile went up on Rejigg in April 2026 and drew fourteen buyer conversations. Nine of those buyers made it to a meeting. Three sent written letters of intent, one sent an indication of interest and one more made an offer the owner turned down. The buyer who won connected on April 17, met the founders on May 7 and sent a letter of intent within the week. The owner signed it on June 9.

The lender took the summer. Financing was approved in late September, and the deal closed on October 27, just over six months from the first message. The owner's first call after the wire landed was to Rejigg, to say he could not have done it without the platform.

The buyer is a first-time owner in the same part of San Diego County, a former operations leader at a technology startup, with an SBA loan behind the purchase. The founders had several bids to choose from. They picked the one from the buyer who lived nearby, had sat across the table from them and had built the most trust in the meetings. The operations manager and office manager stay, the crews stay, and the founders are on hand through the holiday lighting season to hand over the customer list one street at a time.
