How Much Is My Drywall Business Worth?

What a buyer really pays for a drywall company — the EBITDA multiple range, why GC concentration and murky WIP quietly cost you a turn.

The irrigation owner who spent fifteen years hand-selling every design is who a buyer discounts hardest. Not because the work is bad — because a buyer isn't purchasing a company, they're purchasing your calendar. A service manager and a lead designer with your bidding method on paper, plus an auto-renewing seasonal-service book with a provable renewal rate, is the difference between drawing individual buyers and drawing the landscape roll-ups.

What a buyer really pays for an irrigation contractor — the EBITDA multiple band, and why an install-heavy book quietly costs you a turn.

A residential lockout is a one-and-done. An automotive key cut is one-and-done. A signed commercial access-control monitoring and master-key maintenance agreement is revenue the buyer would still have next month if they did nothing. Buyers pay very different multiples for those two things, and the mix on your P&L is what puts a locksmith at the top or the bottom of the band — and the top only draws integrators and franchise systems once there's a real recurring base.

What a buyer really pays for a locksmith business — the EBITDA multiple, why access-control RMR and manager-run service set it, plus buyer red flags.

In 2007 KKR, TPG and Goldman took TXU private for $45B — the biggest LBO in history. Seven years later it filed for bankruptcy with ~$40B of debt and a wiped-out $8B equity check. Inside the natural-gas bet that broke it.

A commercial-flooring consolidation pool is actively bidding on this trade — and the platforms screen for the same file every time: national-account programs, W-2 in-house crews, a sales manager who isn't the owner, and a book that doesn't collapse when housing starts do. A residential-install shop where the owner sells every job will really only draw individual buyers. Same crews, a full turn of multiple in the difference.

What a buyer really pays for a flooring company — the EBITDA multiple range, why builder concentration and one-time installs quietly cost you a turn.
