Construction Repair Business Plan

HodgePodge Sealcoating Company, soon to be based in Washington, PA, is a sealcoating company that serves the residential market. HodgePodge will based out of a garage with a room attached to serve as the storage facility and office. The truck will be stored in this facility as well as the raw materials. Attached to this space is small room that will serve as the office.

HodgePodge is a seasonal business as a sealcoat cannot be applied when it is too cold or if it is wet. The garage/office set up is located in an industrial area which will lower the rental cost enough so it is not a burden to hold on to the office during the off-season.
