Most agencies will not put a number in writing until you have sat through a call, so here is the number. The three bands every quote belongs to, what actually separates them, what gets added afterwards, and what I charge. Then I will build you a free working demo of your own site if you want to see it first.
The demo is a real page you can click through, chat with, and book a time on.
The prices look random because three different products get sold under one description. Identify which one you are being quoted and the spread stops being confusing.
A template you set up yourself on Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy. A photo of a door, a repair and install list, your number at the top. An afternoon of work and it looks acceptable.
A custom build. Repair separated from new installation, spring and opener pages, a door style gallery, your service area. Most established garage door companies land here.
The full stack. Call tracking, dispatch integration, product catalogue, financing, review automation, landing pages for paid traffic, reporting. Sold with management attached.
Garage door is one of the few trades where the customer is physically blocked from leaving. A broken spring at seven in the morning means somebody cannot get to work, and that changes how they behave completely.
They are not comparing companies. They are calling down a list until somebody says today. Whoever answers first and can give a time gets the job, almost regardless of price, and everybody who answers second gets nothing.
Then there is the other customer entirely, the one replacing a tired door because the house looks wrong. That person wants to see doors, in styles and colours, on houses like theirs, and will take a fortnight to decide. One website has to do both jobs.
Put these to every quote you are comparing, mine as well. They move the real cost more than the headline figure.
Comparing proposals is guesswork because you are judging a document. So I do it in reverse. I build a working garage door site with your company name on it, you click through it yourself, and only then do we discuss price.
Build my free garage door demoEvery agency page will tell you a website is an investment and not an expense. That is a comfortable line about somebody who is not paying, so run the sum with figures I do not have.
Take the profit you keep on one door replacement, not the invoice. Divide the price of the website by it. That is how many extra replacements a year it has to produce before it has paid for itself. Then run the same sum on a spring repair, because that is the volume work, and see how many of those it would take instead.
Now the half almost nobody does. Count the calls that rang out between seven and nine in the morning while you were driving. Those were people who could not leave their house and would have paid your price without arguing. You already paid to be findable to them. Catching them is far cheaper than buying new leads, and it is what most quotes leave out.
If both numbers come out small, do not buy anything yet. That is a real answer, and it is why the demo is free.
Start at the bottom and move up only when the website is genuinely the thing holding you back. Most garage door companies do not need band three.
There is a larger managed package as well. It is on the main page, and most garage door companies reading this do not need it yet.
Tell me about your company and I will build it, then message you on WhatsApp when it is ready to look at.
No card. No contract. You see it before you decide.
