ABOUT THE BUSINESS

26-YEAR ARCHITECTURAL WOODWORK & MILLWORK MANUFACTURER - EVERETT, WASHINGTON

This established custom architectural woodwork and millwork manufacturing business represents a rare acquisition opportunity in the Greater Puget Sound commercial construction market. With 26 years of continuous operation, the company has built a deeply entrenched position as a preferred supplier to some of the Pacific Northwest's most active commercial general contractors, public agencies, and federal clients - supported by a blue-chip client roster, AWI membership, active federal subcontractor status, and union signatory credentials that serve as meaningful barriers to entry.

Business Overview

The business manufactures and installs premium custom casework, architectural millwork, and commercial interior fit-out for commercial general contractors, K-12 education facilities, transportation infrastructure, federal and military facilities, and technology sector clients. The company has maintained a go-to supplier relationship with a major Pacific Northwest transportation authority since 2006 - nearly two decades of continuous engagement - and holds active working relationships with the upper tier of regional commercial general contractors. The company is intentionally operated as a quality-over-volume business, a discipline that has produced exceptional margins and a premium market reputation over 26 years.

Financial Performance:

• 2023 Revenue: $1,509,276.
• 2024 Revenue: $2,815,099.
• 2025 Revenue: $2,306,631 - reflecting a deliberate strategic shift toward fewer, higher-margin projects.
• 2025 Net Profit Margin: 23.0% (based on Net Ordinary Income of $530,714, excluding non-recurring items).
• Preliminary 2025 SDE: ~$722,000 (pending 2025 depreciation add-back from CPA - final figure will be higher).
• Three-year weighted average SDE: approximately $534,000.
• Active contracted backlog: $1,093,261 across 11 projects as of July 8, 2026 - work in hand, transferable to buyer.
• Near-debt-free balance sheet: total liabilities of $134,504 at year-end 2025, reduced from $540,419 the prior year.

Operations & Staffing:

The business operates from a 7,900 sq ft purpose-built manufacturing facility with two loading docks, roll-up doors, alley access, fenced rear yard, and direct Interstate 5 access. The production team includes 6 skilled shop employees operating precision CNC manufacturing equipment, with a flexible field workforce of 2–12 union carpenters deployed project-by-project. Three to four office staff, including both owners, manage project management, estimating, scheduling, and administration. The seller is committed to a post-sale transition tailored to buyer needs - providing continuity of client relationships, technical knowledge, and operational processes.

Key Differentiators:

• AWI (Architectural Woodwork Institute) member - the industry's recognized quality standard, actively specified on public and institutional projects.
• Active federal subcontractor with demonstrated experience serving federal agencies, military facilities, and public sector clients across Washington State.
• Union signatory - required for a significant portion of public, government, and large commercial project work in Washington State; non-union competitors are disqualified from this work by contract specification.
• Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) self-certified - no current revenue is tied to this designation, meaning zero transfer risk to a non-veteran buyer.
• Nearly two-decade relationship with a major Pacific Northwest transportation authority - demonstrating the depth and durability of the company's commercial client base.
• Premium CNC manufacturing equipment and precision woodworking machinery - significant hard asset value included in the sale.
• Near-debt-free entering the sale - the business carries minimal obligations, simplifying deal structure and strengthening lender confidence.
• Flexible post-sale owner transition tailored to buyer needs - a meaningful risk-mitigation factor for buyers and SBA lenders alike.

Growth Opportunities:

The business currently operates with a flexible field workforce that scales with project load. A buyer with the capacity to consistently staff at the higher end of the workforce range could substantially increase revenue without adding new clients - existing GC relationships offer project pipelines that currently exceed what the business pursues. Geographic expansion throughout King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties represents significant untapped opportunity accessible from the current facility. The company's federal subcontractor status and SDVOSB certification, once officially completed, open additional government procurement channels currently underutilized. Healthcare facility fit-out is a high-margin adjacent sector that values the AWI credential and precision manufacturing capability this business already possesses.

Real Estate Component:

The 7,900 sq ft production facility is owned by the sellers through a separate entity and is available for acquisition alongside the business or as a leaseback arrangement. The building features two loading docks, roll-up doors, fenced rear yard, alley access, and direct I-5 access - purpose-built for commercial woodworking and millwork operations. County assessment: $1,076,000. Market estimates from commercial real estate professionals: $1,600,000–$1,800,000. The combined SBA 7(a)+504 loan limit of $10 million (effective July 4, 2026) makes it possible to finance both the business and the real estate in a single SBA transaction.

Ideal Buyer Profile:

This opportunity is well-suited to experienced construction industry professionals or project managers seeking an established commercial millwork operation with a long-tenured client base and owner transition support. Owner-operators from adjacent trades - general contracting, commercial interior fit-out, facilities management - looking to vertically integrate millwork capability will find immediate revenue and an existing client roster. Existing millwork or woodworking business owners seeking geographic expansion into the Greater Puget Sound market will find purpose-built infrastructure and 26 years of established relationships. Search fund buyers and strategic acquirers with construction sector backgrounds will value the AWI credentials, federal subcontractor status, and union labor capability. SBA financing is available with as little as 10–15% down.
