Market Competition and Expansion:

Central Maryland has few chimney service companies, most led by aging owner-operators nearing retirement. The market is undersupplied and consolidating — competitive pressure is low
• MHIC licensed — required to work with realtors; most competitors are not licensed
• 600+ realtor relationships built over 30 years; 60–75 active annual referral sources
• Established property management accounts across Montgomery, Howard, AA, and PG counties
• 98% customer satisfaction rate; zero outbound marketing needed to sustain revenue

The business has operated at deliberately constrained capacity with no outbound marketing for 25+ years. A buyer with operational or marketing focus has immediate, low-cost growth levers available from day one.
• ~10,000 customer records never systematically re-marketed — high-value, zero-cost pipeline
• No digital presence; Google Local Services Ads alone would materially increase inbound volume
• Gas fireplace certification in progress — new higher-margin service line imminent
• Electric fireplace conversion already underway — growing segment as wood-burning declines
• D.C. and Northern Virginia markets untapped; senior technician team ready to expand
• Property management HOA agreements are informal — formalizing adds recurring contract revenue
• CRM and scheduling software would reduce admin burden and improve capacity utilization

Reason for Selling:

Retirement. Kindly ask the seller for more information.
