What a Garage Door job looks like in SideWRK.
The garage door job as the app lays it out — your own cost sitting on it, and the estimate your customer approves from their phone.
Built for garage door side work — in one app
Branded estimates & invoices
Torsion springs, rollers, an opener install — itemized on a numbered estimate with your name, logo, and license number, texted from the driveway. The paperwork reads as square as the door you just hung.
Customers approve from their phone
The homeowner gets a branded link, sees the photos of the frayed cable or the cracked panel, and taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount. Find more once the door's apart? They approve the new total first.
Real profit, not just revenue
Springs, rollers, and openers each carry a private "your cost" the customer never sees. The Money tab shows what the door job actually made you after parts — not just the number on the invoice.
Photos that document the work
Shoot the snapped spring, the worn rollers, the finished door running smooth. Texted proof sells the repair, and the photos stay on the job long after the truck leaves.
One flow, start to paid
One job carries the whole door — estimate, approval, invoice, payment — and flips to Paid on its own when the balance hits zero. No chasing, no second app.
Spring & safety, on the record
Garage springs store enough energy to kill, and openers need working auto-reverse. SideWRK keeps a record of the work and notes the safety check — documentation tools, never legal advice.

Estimate. Invoice. Get paid.
SideWRK runs the business side from your phone, on the job.
It keeps every customer and property on file, sends the estimate and the invoice, and shows the real profit on each job.
From first call to "paid" in three steps
Write it up
Add the homeowner and the door problem, then the work — the spring, the labor, a photo of the damage. Send the branded estimate before you back out of the driveway.
Send it
They open the link, see the snapped spring for themselves, and tap Approve. The authorization logs itself with the time and the amount.
Get paid
The estimate becomes a numbered invoice with your license on it. Record the payment and the Money tab shows what the door really made you.
What should a garage door tech charge?
Garage door work starts with a service-call fee, then flat-rate repairs, with new doors priced separately. Here's how it's priced, plus free calculators to find your number.
Service-call fee
Most techs charge a service-call fee of about $75–$125 to come out, often credited toward the repair.
Flat-rate repairs
Springs, cables, rollers, and openers are each a flat-rate fix, so the customer approves a number before you start.
New door installs
A new door is priced by size, material, and insulation, plus haul-off of the old one. Double doors and custom finishes raise the number.
Garage door calculator
Springs and openers quote fast — know the hourly number underneath every flat rate.
The garage door rate behind SideWRK's estimating defaults is $100/hr, with 50% of a typical ticket paying for time rather than materials. Both numbers come from our 2026 Side-Work Rate Report, which publishes the same figures for all 42 trades.
