This well-established, highway fronted, cedar retail and fencing installation business serves Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The company combines high-volume cedar product retail including lumber, fence panels, hardware, and specialty materials, with professional residential fencing installation. It captures both product and labour margin on every project. Operating for over three decades, the business has earned a strong reputation for product quality, in-stock availability, and reliable installation workmanship. The owner is preparing for a personal transition and is seeking a buyer to continue the company's history of profitable and stable operations. The business generates revenue through a diversified mix of cedar product retail (~61% of revenue), professional fencing installation services (~39%), hardware and accessories, and specialty materials. Customers include independent contractors, homeowners, landscaping companies, and commercial operators, providing resilience across economic cycles. No material customer concentration exists — over 1,200 distinct customers transacted in the past two years, with no single customer exceeding 4% of annual revenue. 2025 financial performance shows annual revenue ranging at $2.8 million, increasing for the previous 3, with adjusted SDE of roughly $315,000. The most recent YTD’s are showing a TTM of 29%. The business has a consistent history of profitability, strong cash flow, and no long-term debt. The owner works approximately forty hours per week in a supervisory capacity and is open to providing up to twelve months of transition support. The opportunity is well-suited for an owner-operator, strategic acquirer, or acquisition entrepreneur seeking a stable, cash-flowing business with recurring revenue and growth potential. Note: The $1,150,000 purchase price includes ~$370,000 working capital & approx. $344,000 fair market value FF&E.
Planned personal transition.
This business operates from a ~3,600 sq. ft. shop, showroom, and lumber yard on approximately 0.6 acres of highway-frontage commercial land. Includes outdoor storage, retail showroom, and customer sales counter. Adjacent overflow lot available.
FFE includes work trucks (4), forklifts (2), trailers and flat decks (4), skid steer with attachments, shop equipment (planers, saws, dust collector), power tools, field equipment, lumber racking and storage systems, security infrastructure, and technology (9 units).
Up to 12 months; 3 months full-time then part-time consulting. Flexible, not a rushed exit.
Vertically integrated model (retail + installation) captures both product and labour margin — most competitors only offer one or the other. The business carries the largest cedar panel selection in its service territory, creating a same-day availability advantage that contractors rely on. National building supply retailers carry commodity product but offer no professional installation or specialized product knowledge. Independent fencing contractors compete on installation but lack their own inventory. Highway-frontage location on the primary North Island arterial route generates natural inbound traffic.
Digital Marketing, Website & SEO — No paid digital advertising currently in place. Immediate upside.
CRM & Lead Pipeline — No CRM system; implementing one would improve estimate conversion.
Metal Fencing & Ornamental Systems — Growing residential demand; natural product expansion.
Composite Decking & Outdoor Living — Natural extension of installation capabilities.
Contractor Account Program — Formalizing volume pricing to deepen contractor loyalty.
Geographic Expansion — Installation footprint can extend into adjacent communities.
Resawn & Milled Cedar Products — In-house milling for improved margins.
