Featured Deal
Founded in 2007 by a husband-and-wife team, this electrical contracting company specializes in high-mast lighting for airports, stadiums, and port authorities. The company serves clients across multiple Southeast states with six full-time field crews and a dedicated, family-led management team.
The business posted consistent top-line growth, with revenue increasing by 55% from 2021 to 2023 and EBITDA growing by 158% over the same period. The company maintains a ~$14M job backlog and benefits from recurring work tied to federally regulated lighting maintenance cycles.
Now approaching retirement, the owners have structured a straightforward transition plan and are committed to remaining involved for 3–5 years post-close. Their goal is to support the company’s growth trajectory and ensure employee continuity under new ownership.
