The work
The days garage-door companies run, on either system.
01
Emergency repair
A broken spring or an off-track door is flagged, routed, and answered with an arrival window, before the customer calls the next shop.
02
Installation
Measure, order, deliver, install: one job across its days, so nothing is lost between the tape measure and the crew.
03
Maintenance plans
Annual inspection, lubrication, and balance testing that renew on stored cards, sold from the findings of the repair visit.
The difference
Housecall Pro beside Thorbis, for garage-door companies.

The board
Mike should not be a line item.
The garage-door day on one board the office runs and the trucks read.
The old way
What the whiteboard costs garage-door companies.
No ETA, no job
An emergency caller without a clear arrival window keeps dialing down the search results.
The install loses days between steps
Measurement, ordering, selection, and crew scheduling in four places means a door in the warehouse and a crew somewhere else.
Plans go unsold
Without a way to present options and track renewals, the maintenance book stays small.

Is this comparison current?
The Housecall Pro side is read from its own pricing page or from what shops report, as of August 2026, and it says which. If Housecall Pro changes its model, this page is wrong until it is updated, and we would rather you check than trust a stale row.
