Harvest Business Advisors is pleased to showcase this business for sale. An award-winning and highly profitable insurance reconstruction company, they specialize in reconstruction and repairs to damage caused by fire, water, wind, storm, vandalism or burglary in residential and commercial properties. The company also provides complete home remodeling services.
Licensed, insured and bondable as an independent Class A General Contractor as well as a licensed lead paint restoration contractor, the business is known for its outstanding customer service and extremely favorable customer reviews. The company operates at 40+ percent gross profit margins and, due to its insurance relationships, does not need to bid for opportunities.
The 25+ year old business is located in the fast-growing and highly stable Washington DC metropolitan region. The owner wishes to retire but a strong management team is in place. All operational procedures are well-established.
ASKING PRICE: $2,100,000
* Revenues for the business were down in 2020 due to:
1. Homeowners choosing to do repair work on their own because they are at home due to COVID
2. Homeowners receiving insurance claim checks but not applying funds towards repairs due to financial reasons
3. Homeowners not wanting outsiders in their home due to COVID fears
** SDE was positively impacted by the Federal Government’s COVID-related PPP loan and payroll tax credits — a one-time occurrence of $293,604

- A company seeking to add construction to its existing business
- A company or individual desiring to engage with a major insurance carrier
- A large company outside of the Washington DC area wanting to enter this booming market
- A mitigation company wishing to add construction for a complete service offering

This acquisition would be very desirable for an out of state construction company which desires to expand their presence into the highly desirable DC market or for a mitigation company seeking to add construction to its offering.

There is no denying that the Corona Virus Pandemic has dramatically changed the way we live and the way we do business. However, the Harvest Business team is encouraged that business transactions are continuing, although they are being handled slightly differently.
Case in point: Harvest Business Advisors Partner Richard Stopa recently held a buyer-seller meeting with seven people, with social distancing and other CDC recommended best practices incorporated.
A very interested buyer wished to meet with the owners of a Virginia accounting practice that Richard represents. The first inclination might have been to postpone the meeting or conduct the meeting virtually.
However, the buyer is eager to move the potential purchase of the business forward. Richard was happy to work out arrangements that helped the buyer learn more about the business and also gave everyone involved a degree of comfort in conducting a face to face meeting.
The meeting took place on a Saturday when the sellers’ employees were not in the office so as to maintain the confidentiality of the potential transaction and also reduce the number of people in one setting.
The buyer party and seller party, along with Richard, met in a very large open area of the sellers’ office where there was plenty of air circulating. All parties maintained proper social distancing (in this case actually 8 to 10 feet instead of the recommended 6-foot distance). We provided ample hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes and other cleaning products. All parties, of course, wore face masks.
The only real difficulty was the limitations of the face masks. The parties couldn’t see each other’s entire faces (and expressions) and the masks muffled the conversation a bit, a minor inconvenience.
All told, the meeting was very positive. And the transaction will continue to move forward.
This meeting proved that business with our clients can be successfully conducted during a pandemic as long as all parties are cautious, flexible and open-minded.
Look for the transaction to be announced here in the near future.
And, if you would like to discuss any of the current business listings Harvest has posted or chat about listing your business for sale, we are ready to move forward with you.

The CDC has released draft guidelines for the President to review and approve outlining measures to be taken by businesses as they reopen. Specific sections address businesses with Vulnerable Employees (page 10), Restaurants and Bars (page 12) , Child Care Centers, Schools and Day Camps, and Communities of Faith.
Click here for CDC Interim Guidance for Opening Businesses.
The guidance is very detailed outlining three phases.
Phase 1 suggests strict social distancing, closing common rooms like break rooms, telework, and other restrictions.
Phase 2 suggests moderate social distancing, shifts for common rooms, maintaining telework, etc.
Phase 3 is closer to the norm although limited social distancing is still suggested.
These guidelines are subject to change as there are many concerns about their work-ability. Namely, can social distancing be maintained and other suggested requirements? How are health checks performed while still maintaining required confidentiality? We are sure this will all be clarified over the next few weeks.
According to the Washington Post, the bulk of these guidelines are expected to go into effect sometime over the next seven days or so.
