Established Specialty Fireplace & Chimney Services

Business Overview:

OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW
A long-established, profitable specialty retailer and service provider of fireplaces, fireplace inserts, and chimney systems serving homeowners across Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley, and the broader greater Los Angeles area. The Company has built a durable, referral-driven business over three decades, generating revenue from new fireplace installations, recurring chimney cleaning and maintenance service calls, and the sale of related parts and accessories. Premium dealer relationships with leading manufacturers support healthy installation gross margins.
The owner is retiring after 33 years of ownership and is offering the business on a turnkey basis. Recent revenue softness reflects reduced owner activity in the pre-retirement window — not a structural decline — and the owner consistently observes that incremental marketing produces an immediate, outsized backlog of inquiries, suggesting meaningful latent demand and a 2x–3x revenue runway for an active operator.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
•30+ year operating history with strong local brand recognition and consistently positive Yelp / Google reviews.
•Stable recast SDE of $55K–$66K despite the owner's deliberate pre-retirement wind-down.
•Recurring service revenue base — annual chimney cleaning and maintenance from an installed customer base built over three decades.
•Premium supplier relationships with leading manufacturers support great installation gross margins.
•Highly tenured part-time technician (20-year staff member) supports operational continuity through transition.
•Multiple identified growth levers: digital marketing activation, recurring maintenance subscription, second installation crew, B2B / trade channel.
•Cooperative seller — open to seller financing, training (2–4 weeks at no cost), consulting arrangement, and a 3-year non-compete.
•Lean cost structure, low working-capital requirements, and a fully transferable operating model.
