Industry perspective

How long do construction
businesses stay in operation?

For U.S. construction establishments that opened in 2013, BLS recorded these shares still operating at each milestone:

After 1 year76.0%
After 5 years53.9%
After 10 years40.1%

About 4 in 10 were still operating after a decade.

0:00 Hey everybody, my name is [unclear] and I'm proof of what [unclear] and Golden

0:04 Empire can do for your home. If you can even take a look at my home right now, he

0:09 over delivered on everything that he said he was going to do. The kitchen, the

0:13 fixtures, the bedrooms, oh my god, the Italian marble and slabs that he put

0:18 on every bathroom is, it's beautiful. I mean, it's incredible. So my fear was that

0:23 they weren't going to do a proper job or they were going to honestly take

0:26 advantage of me. and they were going to charge me more in the back end. And none

0:30 of those things ever happened. [unclear] showed up. He kept me up to date with all

0:34 of, all of the things that they were doing in the property. And I'm very grateful

0:38 for him. I'm grateful for the things that he did, like the light fixtures. When he

0:42 first showed up to this house, the house was old, yellow, dirty, that, that, that

0:48 kind of light that makes you feel sad. But then when he walked in, he ended up

0:52 fixing all the light fixtures. Now the house is [unclear]. The house feels new.

0:56 the house feels good again. If you're considering a construction crew, you're

1:00 considering a remodeling crew, there's no point of looking anywhere else. I'm

1:04 living proof of what this company can do, and I'm incredibly grateful for

1:09 everything they provided. Thanks, guys.
