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:
- Startup costs (what tools + parts you actually need).
- Marketing that brings in leads consistently.
- How to systemize so you’re not stuck on every job.
