- On the customer’s phone, before the truck rolls
Priced from a book you build yourself.
Garage door quotes from the book, not from memory.
Estimates for garage-door companies, priced from a book you build yourself and approved on the customer’s phone, so the number is the same on every truck and the yes is captured before you leave.
The work
The work that gets quoted.
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.
Why it matters
The argument, in three rows.
Built from your book
Parts, labor, and accessories come from the same price book everyone quotes from, so the number the customer hears never depends on which truck showed up.
Options beat ultimatums
A tiered proposal turns take-it-or-leave-it into a choice. The customer picks a tier instead of deciding whether to trust the only number on the page.
Signed before the truck leaves
E-signature on any device, deposit collected at approval, and the accepted proposal becomes a scheduled job. Same visit.
Garage door · Estimates
The yes, captured.
Quoted from the book, approved on the phone, and turned into the job without retyping.
The old way
What the evening quote costs.
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.
Up close
How it runs.
01
Show, don’t argue
Photos of the failing unit, the comparison between options, the before-and-after from a similar job. Embedded in the proposal, not described over the phone.
02
Multi-phase and commercial
Break big work into phases with alternates; each approved phase converts to its own job plan. Approval routing covers the facility-manager case.
03
Margin guardrails
The margin is visible while the proposal is built, so discounting is a decision, not an accident.
Straight answers
What garage-door companies ask.
What does Thorbis cost for garage-door companies?
$99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. Nothing on this page is a tier.
Is estimating a separate module?
No. Estimates & quotes is in Core, on the same record as the board, the estimate, and the invoice, so the garage-door job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for garage-door companies specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For garage-door companies that means emergency repair, installation, and maintenance plans, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are garage-door jobs.
Can I standardize templates?
Yes. Reusable branded templates with recommended options, so every proposal starts from the shop’s standard instead of a blank page.
What about multi-phase jobs?
Break the proposal into phases and alternates; each converts to a separate job plan when approved.
