The dented panels. The opener that sounds like a freight train. The springs your tech said were "getting close." They got 2-3 quotes, couldn't decide, and the door still technically goes up and down — so they did nothing. We run done-for-you SMS campaigns that re-engage your unsold quotes and book installation appointments. You only pay when it works.
If even two of these describe your company, you've got tens of thousands in installations sitting in quotes nobody followed up on.
Your tech measured the opening, inspected the springs and tracks, showed the homeowner the Clopay Gallery Collection in insulated steel with Intellicore, quoted $3,200 installed with a LiftMaster 8500W wall-mount opener. They said "looks great, let me talk to my wife." That was 7 months ago. The dented, uninsulated builder-grade door from 2004 is still hanging there. They never called back — and nobody followed up after the second voicemail.
Service call for a noisy door. Your tech found the torsion springs were original — 15 years old, past their 10,000-cycle life, showing visible fatigue. Quoted $350-500 for the pair plus labor. Homeowner said "it's still working, I'll call when it breaks." When it does break — and it will — it'll be at 7am when they're late for work, the door won't move, and they'll call whoever shows up first on Google. Not the company that already diagnosed the problem 6 months ago.
They called about replacing a 20-year-old chain-drive opener that sounds like a diesel engine. You quoted a Chamberlain belt-drive with myQ smart control — $450 installed. But your tech also noted the door panels were warping, weatherstripping was shot, and the bottom seal had a 2-inch gap letting in cold air and mice. You quoted the full replacement too — $2,800 for an Amarr Stratford insulated door. They said "maybe later." Later never came.
They want the upgrade. They've been browsing Clopay Coachman and Amarr Classica doors for months. You came out, showed them options, quoted $4,500-6,000 for a custom insulated carriage door with decorative hardware and windows. They loved every option. "We're definitely doing this — just not this month." That was two seasons ago. Their neighbor just got a beautiful new door installed. By your competitor.
Last spring's storm brought in a wave of calls. Your team ran 30+ inspections in two weeks, documented dented panels, cracked weatherstripping, and bent tracks. You sent quotes. Some converted immediately. But 15-20 of those quotes are still sitting in ServiceTitan — homeowners who meant to file insurance claims and never got around to it, or got the check and spent it on something else. That's $30K-60K in quoted installations that were never followed up on.
They got your quote. Then two more. Your Amarr Heritage was $2,600. Another company quoted a Wayne Dalton Classic for $2,200. A third quoted something unidentifiable for $1,800. Three different doors, three different R-values, three different warranties. They couldn't compare apples to apples, so they compared nothing — and bought nothing. All three quotes are in a kitchen drawer next to the takeout menus.
Every one of those homeowners still has the same problem. The door didn't fix itself. The springs didn't get younger. The opener didn't get quieter. The only thing that changed is they stopped thinking about it — until someone reminds them.
You sent a tech to their house. You measured the opening, inspected the hardware, spec'd the door, and built the quote. That's 45 minutes of field time and 20 minutes of office time for a lead that went nowhere. Now multiply that by the 60% of quotes that never convert.
Standard single-car door replacement — insulated steel, new tracks, weather seal, professional installation
Double-car door or premium upgrade — carriage house, Clopay Coachman, Amarr Classica, decorative hardware, windows
Opener replacement — LiftMaster, Chamberlain belt-drive, myQ smart control, battery backup, safety sensors
Average installation ticket sitting in your CRM. Already quoted. Already measured. Already spec'd. Just never closed.
Garage door replacement consistently ranks in the top 5 home improvement projects for ROI — homeowners recoup 100%+ of the cost at resale. Your past quotes aren't just sitting on revenue for your company. They're sitting on equity for the homeowner. A well-timed reminder of both turns "maybe later" into "let's do it this week."
We pull your unsold quote data from whatever system you use — ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldPulse, your CRM, or the spreadsheet your office manager maintains. We clean it, validate phone numbers, and segment by job type and quote age. A homeowner who got a full door replacement quote needs a different message than someone who only got quoted on springs — and both need a different approach than the storm damage leads from last spring.
We run SMS reactivation campaigns under your company name. Not robocalls. Not the postcard that went in the recycling bin. Real, conversational text messages that reference their specific situation and connect it to a reason to act now — a seasonal promotion, updated pricing, the fact that another winter is coming, or simply that their door is one more year older and their springs have run another few thousand cycles.
Your office doesn't write the messages. They don't manage replies. They don't chase anyone. They just see new appointments on the schedule.
Your tech shows up Thursday afternoon. Dave's door is worse than last spring — the rollers are shot, one spring is visibly fatigued, and the opener is straining. Dave already knows the door needs replacing. He's been living with it. Your tech updates the quote to a Clopay Gallery Collection insulated door with a LiftMaster belt-drive — $3,400 installed. Dave signs on the spot because he's been thinking about this for 8 months and someone finally made it easy to say yes.
You didn't run a single Google Ad. You didn't knock on a single door. You reactivated a quote your team already created — and turned it into a $3,400 installation.
No retainers. No setup fees. No contracts. You pay a flat fee per booked appointment from your past quote database. If we don't book it, you don't pay.
Think about it: your best salesperson is not running more Google Ads. It's following up on the 200+ quotes already sitting in your system from homeowners who said "let me think about it" and were never contacted again. Every one of those homes still has the same door.
Every one of these businesses was sitting on data they'd given up on.
Here's the math for garage doors: at a 10% booking rate on 500 past quotes, that's 50 appointments. At a 60% close rate (these are warm leads with existing quotes) and an average ticket of $2,500, that's $75K in installations — from people who already met your tech, already got a quote, and already wanted the door. They just needed someone to follow up.
Garage doors are the largest moving object in most homes. A standard double door weighs 150-250 pounds, held up by torsion springs under extreme tension. When those springs fail, the door drops. When cables fray, the door drops unevenly. When safety sensors malfunction, the door doesn't stop. These aren't hypothetical risks — garage door injuries send roughly 30,000 people to the ER every year.
Your tech already identified the risks during the original quote visit. They noted the spring wear, the roller condition, the cable tension, the sensor alignment. Every month the homeowner waits, those components run another few hundred cycles closer to failure. A reactivation text that references what your tech found isn't a sales pitch — it's a safety reminder that happens to book an appointment.
And then there's the seasonal timing. Spring is curb appeal season — homeowners start noticing the faded, dented door when the landscaping goes in. Summer is "the door is so hot it's warping" season. Fall is winterization — the 2-inch gap under the door lets in cold air and rodents. Winter is "the opener can barely lift the door in the cold" season. There's always a reason to reach out. You just need a system that actually does it.
Every season creates natural urgency: spring for curb appeal, summer for heat/insulation, fall for winterization and weathersealing, winter for opener strain and energy costs. Storm seasons create immediate spikes in demand from past leads who got inspections but never followed through on repairs.
Your follow-up email went to spam. The postcard went in the recycling. The voicemail was deleted. A text from "Patriot Garage Doors" about their specific door? That gets read in under 3 minutes.
Garage door problems are low-grade annoyances that homeowners suppress daily. The moment a text reminds them "your springs are 15 years old" or "winter is coming and that seal gap is still there," the suppressed frustration surfaces instantly.
From quote databases untouched for months. These homeowners didn't fix their door. They didn't call your competitor. They just stopped thinking about it. A text brings it right back — along with the trust they already built with your tech.
Your office is not going to call 500 past quotes between scheduling installs and ordering doors. The follow-up postcard you sent 6 months ago cost $1.50 and got a 1-2% response rate. SMS cuts through all of it — and every appointment it books has a 50-70% chance of converting because the homeowner already has a quote and already met your team.
It didn't fix itself. The springs didn't get younger. The opener didn't get quieter.
Every month those quotes sit in your CRM is another month the homeowner pulls into the driveway, looks at the dented panels, hears the grinding opener, feels the cold air coming through the seal gap — and does nothing because nobody reminded them they already have a quote from a company they trust. We built this system for garage door companies that are tired of buying cold leads when hundreds of warm quotes are already in the system. Done-for-you. Performance-based. Zero risk.
