Handmade this rustic garage door back when I lived in Tucson AZ 🛠️ Took over 500 bolts to piece it together — every panel custom, every detail hand-set. Started with basic sheet metal, used my special formula to rust the panels then I clear coated them to seal in the look forever. With little to 0 help installing this 1,200ibs door wasn’t easy but it definitely paid off. Too advanced for beginners, but I share it to show you one thing: the possibilities (and the $$$) in this trade are endless. 💰 Most people think “garage doors” = simple repairs. Truth is, once you learn the basics, you can scale into high-ticket installs, customs, and projects like this that pay out big. 🔑 This industry is wide open for anyone hungry enough to learn.

Bel Air, California 🏡✨ Installed these sleek full-view black aluminum doors — modern, clean, and built to last.

Most people think it’s just repairs, but one install like this can net you $5k–$10k+ in profit. The best part? Clients love the transformation — their curb appeal jumps instantly, and you’re stacking wins while building a real business. Momentum > perfection. Keep moving, keep stacking, and the results will follow. 🚀

A lot of people see garage doors as “just repairs” — but when you look at the numbers, it’s one of the most profitable service businesses you can run. Here’s a simple breakdown: 🛠️ Common Jobs & Average Ticket - Spring Replacement: $300–$600 - Opener Install: $500–$900 - Full Door Replacement: $1,500–$5,000+ - Quick Service Call (cables, rollers, sensors): $150–$250 💵 Typical Costs - Springs: $40–$80 each - Openers: $200–$350 - Doors: $700–$1,200 (basic) - Hardware/Travel: $20–$40 per job 📊 Profit Margins - Service/Repair: 60–80% - Openers: 40–50% - Doors: 30–40% (but bigger tickets = bigger cash flow) 👉 The crazy part? With just 2–3 jobs a day, you can easily do $1,000+ revenue daily — even as a solo operator. Scale it up with a helper or tech and the numbers multiply fast. 🚀 In upcoming posts I’ll break down: 1. Startup costs (what tools + parts you actually need). 2. Marketing that brings in leads consistently. 3. How to systemize so you’re not stuck on every job. 💬 Question for you guys: Which breakdown do you want me to go deeper into first — startup costs or marketing/lead gen?

The truth? You don’t. When I started, I was doing $300–$350 repairs out of a car. Springs, cables, openers — all of it fit in the trunk. Guys I know cleared $1,500+ a week before they ever bought a truck. But once the cash started flowing, I leveled up. This F-350 cost me $5,000 and now it makes every job look professional. The real mistake isn’t starting “too small.” The real mistake is waiting until everything is “perfect.” 👉 Start lean. Stack wins. Upgrade as you go. Question: what’s the ONE thing you keep telling yourself you need before starting?
