💰 Let’s talk money in this trade.
Nobody really talks about how much you can actually make installing garage doors — so I will. A solid tech in this industry can clear $60K–$100K+ a year as an employee and if you’re running your own installs or operating your own company? The ceiling is completely different. I’ve seen guys go from zero experience to making more than their friends with degrees — in under two years. And the demand isn’t slowing down. New construction, replacements, spring repairs, operator installs — there’s no shortage of work. Homeowners will always need garage doors. What most people don’t realize is this trade has one of the lowest barriers to entry of any skilled trade — but the pay doesn’t reflect that. If you know what you’re doing, you get paid like a specialist. So here’s my question for you 👇 Where are you at right now — employee, subcontractor, or business owner? And what’s your income goal in this trade? Drop it in the comments. No judgment — this is a safe space to talk numbers and get real about where you want to go.
