Residential Roofing and Eavestrough

Ottawa and Eastern Ontario

Target company size

C$1M to C$5M revenue

Residential roofing first, steep slope or flat. Seamless eavestrough and siding as add-ons to a roofing book or as stand-alone businesses. Own crews and foremen, ten or more years in business, an owner ready to transition out over 6 to 24 months. The buyer is a Canadian owner-led roofer with two acquisitions already running under one banner, so the deal stays in Ontario.

A retained search. The buyer has engaged BluGrowth to find and close its next acquisitions and is named on NDA. Everything below can be shared with a client.

Owner
