💰 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.

@Jorge Serna Hey Jorge. I live in the valley and am also looking to get into this trade and wrap up corporate life. Are you looking to start your own company or work under a company? Just curious because without a license in California it's not legal to make over $1,000 per job including material, so I'd imagine installing new doors cannot be done. @James Yordy what do you think about starting a business that deals more with repairs and replacing parts without door installations?
Free Course Launch!
The Free Garage Door Course officially launches August 1st. This is the curriculum I wish existed when I started in 2020 — everything from loading and transport to spring installation, back hang, and operator setup. The full residential process, broken down the way a real tech would explain it. No fluff. No theory. Just the actual process that took me from zero experience to running my own installs. August 1st it opens. https://yordydoors.com/start
