Garage door businesses look like trade contractors, but the premium comes from repeat service, commercial maintenance, and technician capacity.
Garage door business acquisitions sit in a 3.0×–5.0× SDE band. Upper-band deals need service mix, route density, installer bench, and recurring commercial maintenance.
Garage-door pricing depends on separating repair economics from installation backlog.
The sample count is broader construction, used as floor context rather than garage-door-only proof.
Product demand supports context, but buyer pricing still follows service mix and installer capacity.
Growth does not solve seller-led estimating, vendor terms, or callback risk.
Garage door is high priority because it sits next to HVAC, roofing, and plumbing in buyer demand, but public closed-deal data is thinner. The Q2 issue uses a direct advisor range and marks the adjacent-comp evidence plainly.
Future rolls should try to replace the adjacent construction anchor with garage-door-specific closed deal data where available.
