My first 60 days
Real numbers, from my own invoices
I run Experts Portes de Garage in Granby, Quebec, Canada. Residential repair only: springs, cables, rollers, openers. These are pulled straight from my invoicing software.
Amounts in Canadian dollars. My results are not a promise of yours: your market, your prices and your hustle decide that.
The launch week
Day by day
Every day ends with something done. By day 7, your phone can ring.
Pick your territory
Choose your cities and radius on a map, register your company, get insured, and check your state's license rules. We also start Google's advertiser verification today, because it can take time.
Buy your tools
The exact list I use, with prices. No guessing, nothing you won't need.
Stock your truck
The starter parts kit: rollers, hinges #1 to #5, cable, drums, pulleys, brackets, remotes, weatherstrip. Then how to order springs by size.
Go online
Your website, your business phone number and your Google Business Profile. Built for you from the template that books my jobs.
Launch your ads
The Google Ads campaign that got me my first contracts in week one, set up in your account for your territory.
Set up your office
Prices, invoices, automatic texts, missed-call follow-up and route planning in Vitryne, the software I built for my own company.

Questions
Before you reserve
Do I need experience?
Yes, this is built for techs who already work for someone else. I had 9 months in garage doors before going out on my own. You know the doors; what you're missing is the business side: getting the phone to ring, pricing, invoicing, buying parts. That's what we set up. The videos cover the problems you haven't seen yet.
Do I need a license?
It depends on your state. Some states have no garage door specific license, others like California require a contractor license. On day 1 we check your state together. You are responsible for meeting your local rules.
Is it dangerous?
Torsion springs store a lot of energy and can cause serious injury. Training covers safe procedures, but you work at your own risk and you need proper insurance.
How much money do I need?
About $3,000 for tools and a first parts kit, plus a monthly ad budget. Most parts after that are paid by the customer on the job.
Why is it cheaper now?
You are one of the first 5. Your questions become the next videos, and your results become the proof for everyone after you.
