Repair and install CRM for a garage door company

9-person garage door company, Fraser Valley BC

A 9-person garage door company had two workflows fighting each other in one tool: fast repair jobs and slower install quotes. We built a custom CRM that runs both lanes properly, with quote follow-ups that go out on their own.

Anonymized. Real project shape and outcome ranges, identifying details changed to protect client confidentiality.

Build time

The problem

Where they were stuck

  • Repair intake and install quotes lived in the same calendar and email inbox.

  • Install quotes worth thousands would sit for weeks with nobody chasing.

  • Site visits were tracked on a whiteboard that nobody updated in the field.

  • Owner could not answer 'what quotes are out and worth?' without asking around.

The approach

What we built and why

  1. 1

    Split repair and install lanes with the fields each one needs.

  2. 2

    Built a quote flow with photos and options, sent from the job.

  3. 3

    Automatic follow-ups on install quotes at 3, 7, and 14 days.

  4. 4

    Owner's dashboard with open quotes, booked installs, and revenue.

The result

What it actually did

  • Install close rate climbed about 22% inside the first quarter.

  • Quotes no longer get lost because the follow-ups go out on their own.

  • Weekly office admin dropped about 6 hours.

  • Owner sees the pipeline on a phone in one glance.

Under the hood

What it's built on

Stack & shape

  • Web app plus mobile view for the crew
  • Postgres database, owned by the client
  • Customer portal for quote approval and photos
  • Stripe for deposits
