Talk to Averan → Move your books and accounting to Averan →- The average business runs about 18 jobs a day at $1,213 each. $5,737,824 of sales across 4,730 jobs a year *, which makes the job the unit this business is actually managed in.
- Ticket is worth $2,975,170 a year at system volume. That is $1,531 a job in the first quartile against $902 in the fourth *. The same 4,730 jobs priced either way, and business to business the ticket runs $1,975 down to $425.
- Revenue for each home peaks in the 378,001 to 532,000 group. Revenue for each home peaks at $14.57 in the 378,001 to 532,000 group and falls to $8.54 in the largest *, so the biggest territories are the least worked, on either way of measuring them.
- Zero terminations, zero non-renewals and zero closures in three years. 36 openings against 50 transfers across 2023 to 2025 *, so Precision Garage Door Service businesses change hands more often than they open.
- Opening costs 1.5 to 3.3 weeks of an average business’s sales. $164,285 to $360,294 against $5,737,824 *, and the franchise fee itself is priced per home, at 50 cents each, against revenue of $8.54 to $14.57 a home.
How much does a Precision Garage Door Service franchise make?
The average Precision Garage Door Service unit reported $5,737,824 of revenue in the 2026 FDD. The brand’s disclosure document discloses revenue and not profit, so what an owner keeps depends on the cost structure set out below. Fees come off the top first, at about 8% of sales across royalty, brand fund and the rest of the stack. Revenue is not income. Rent, wages, cost of goods and the franchise fees all come out before an owner is paid. The figures for the highest-selling and lowest-selling businesses are below.
What a job is worth
Gross sales per job, 2025
| Group | Average job | Median | Range within the group | Businesses | Reaching the group average | At 4,730 jobs a year * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top 10% | $1,640 | $1,589 | $1,514 to $1,975 | 12 | 1, 8.3% | $7,757,200 |
| First quartile | $1,531 | $1,494 | $1,388 to $1,975 | 29 | 11, 38% | $7,241,630 |
| Second quartile | $1,274 | $1,259 | $1,195 to $1,372 | 29 | 14, 48% | $6,026,020 |
| Third quartile | $1,146 | $1,142 | $1,087 to $1,196 | 29 | 14, 48% | $5,420,580 |
| Fourth quartile | $902 | $947 | $425 to $1,073 | 29 | 16, 72% | $4,266,460 |
| Bottom 10% | $763 | $791 | $425 to $882 | 12 | 9, 75% | $3,608,990 |
| All businesses | $1,213 | $1,194 | $425 to $1,975 | 116 | 59, 51% | $5,737,490 |
Every column apart from the right-hand one is as the brand reported it. That column is marked *, holding job count at the 4,730 the system average implies and repricing it at each group’s ticket.
Moving from the fourth quartile to the first is worth $2,975,170 a year. $7,241,630 against $4,266,460 on identical job volume *, which is 51.9% of the whole system average, earned without adding a single truck.
The ticket range inside the system is 4.65 times. That is $1,975 at the top business against $425 at the lowest-selling *, for the same service on the same kind of door.
The top tenth’s tickets run $1,514 to $1,975 and the bottom tenth’s $425 to $882. At Precision Garage Door Service, 9 of the 12 businesses in that bottom tenth sit above its own $763 average. So a handful of very low tickets pull the group down.
Attainment is highest in the fourth quartile and lowest in the first. 72% of the fourth quartile reaches its own average against 38% of the first *. The low end is bunched and the high end is stretched, which is where the headroom in this system sits.
Top performers
What separates the top Precision Garage Door Service performers
Precision Garage Door Service splits its locations into groups instead of publishing one average. The top group averaged $11,791,975 a year. The lowest averaged $1,382,488. Both run the same brand, on the same agreement, paying the same fees.
Decided before you open
- Site and trade area.The top band sells 8.5× the bottom band. Catchment, daytime population and neighboring businesses affect where a location falls.
- Capacity.Capacity is the number of vans, times the hours they run, times how full their schedules are. The build sets how much you can sell.
- Territory.This model sells from a territory, with no storefront. Population density sets how much driving sits between jobs.
- Opening cost range.Opening costs $164,285 to $360,294, a 2.2× range inside one brand.
- Fees and the minimum.Fees run about 8.0% of sales. A minimum fee also applies, so lower-selling locations pay a higher effective rate. Work out the sales level where the percentage overtakes the minimum.

Territory and revenue
Gross sales by territory size, 2025
| Homes in the territory | Businesses | Average | Median | Range | Revenue a home, at the midpoint * | At the group minimum * | Jobs a day * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 91,000 to 230,000 | 19 | $1,382,488 | $857,807 | $210,238 to $4,910,761 | $8.61 | $15.19 | 4.4 |
| 230,001 to 312,000 | 27 | $3,783,827 | $3,209,267 | $584,768 to $8,193,701 | $13.96 | $16.45 | 12.0 |
| 312,001 to 378,000 | 15 | $4,451,119 | $4,322,441 | $932,653 to $9,146,155 | $12.90 | $14.27 | 14.1 |
| 378,001 to 532,000 | 15 | $6,629,607 | $6,536,657 | $1,623,678 to $14,616,575 | $14.57 | $17.54 | 21.0 |
| 532,001 to 630,000 | 10 | $7,854,580 | $5,610,646 | $1,967,353 to $20,271,193 | $13.52 | $14.76 | 24.9 |
| 630,001 to 750,000 | 11 | $8,454,433 | $7,911,960 | $2,183,024 to $14,069,383 | $12.25 | $13.42 | 26.8 |
| 750,001 to 960,000 | 9 | $9,053,526 | $6,601,389 | $3,414,018 to $18,482,910 | $10.59 | $12.07 | 28.7 |
| 960,001 to 1,800,000 | 10 | $11,791,975 | $4,697,521 | $3,251,114 to $43,390,376 | $8.54 | $12.28 | 37.4 |
| All 116 * | 116 | $5,737,824 | n/a | $210,238 to $43,390,376 | n/a | n/a | 18.2 |
Group boundaries, counts, averages, medians and ranges are as the brand reported it; the three right-hand columns and the all-business row are marked *.
Both ways of measuring it agree that the largest territories are the least worked. Revenue a home falls from $14.57 to $8.54 across the top five groups at midpoints, and from $17.54 to $12.28 at the group minimums *, so beyond roughly 400,000 homes, the extra ground is earning less for each home in it.
The largest group holds a $43,390,376 business and a median of $4,697,521. That median is 39.8% of its own group average *. That is the widest gap of any group, and it is the reason the top group’s average reads better than its typical business does.
The tightest groups are the mid-sized ones. Medians sit at 97.1% and 98.6% of their averages in the 312,001 and 378,001 groups *, against 62.0% at the smallest and 39.8% at the largest, so the middle of this system behaves consistently and both ends scatter.
A business in the smallest group runs about 4 jobs a day and one in the largest about 37. That is $1,382,488 against $11,791,975 at $1,213 a job *, an 8.5 times gap in daily work from a territory 8.6 times larger at the midpoints. That is the arithmetic behind the flat revenue a home.
Fees and the minimum
Continuing fees and minimum

| License fee | 6% of gross sales, with a monthly minimum | $344,269 |
| Marketing fee | 2% of gross sales | $114,756 |
| Both together | 8% | $459,026 |
| Local marketing minimum | The greater of $20,000 or 5% of the prior year | $286,891 |
| Local marketing groups | Up to 3% of gross sales | Up to $172,135 |
| Software system | $124.45 a month | $1,493 |
Rates are as the brand reported it; the dollar column is marked *, applied to the weighted system average.
| Homes in the territory | Months 0 to 12 | Months 13 to 18 | Months 19 to 24 | Month 25 onward | Sales at which 6% takes over * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 to 150,000 | $0 | $1,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $400,000 |
| 151,000 to 300,000 | $0 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $500,000 |
| 300,001 to 500,000 | $0 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 | $600,000 |
| 500,001 to 1,000,000 | $0 | $3,000 | $4,000 | $5,000 | $1,000,000 |
| 1,000,001 and above | $0 | $5,000 | $6,000 | $7,000 | $1,400,000 |
Amounts and groups are as the brand reported it, monthly; the right-hand column is marked *, dividing twelve times the month-25 minimum by 6%.
Only the smallest businesses in the smallest territories reach the minimum. The lowest business in the smallest group billed $210,238, on which 6% is $12,614 against a minimum of $24,000 to $30,000 *, an effective 11.42% to 14.27%, against 6% for everyone above roughly $500,000.
The franchise fee is priced by the home, at 50 cents each. $75,000 to $150,000 for a typical 150,000 to 300,000 home territory *, which is 3.43% to 5.85% of a single year’s revenue from those same homes, depending on the group.
The required local marketing spend is two and a half times the marketing fee. $286,891 at 5% of sales against $114,756 at 2% *, so the money an owner directs themselves is much larger than the money the brand directs, which makes lead cost the number to watch.
A business at system average sales pays 8.03% to the brand. That is $460,519 of license fee, marketing fee and software *. The mandated local spend adds $286,891, and a designated marketing group can add up to 3 points on top of that.

The system grew 32.4% in three years and lost nobody. 111 to 147 businesses on 36 openings and zero exits of any kind *. Precision Garage Door Service recorded no terminations, non-renewals, reacquisitions or other closures in the three years.
50 businesses changed hands over the same period. 17, 19 then 14 transfers *, which in 2025 is 10.6% of the businesses open at the start of the year. So ownership turns over at a steady clip while the outlets themselves stay open.
Opening costs 2.9% to 6.3% of average annual sales. $164,285 to $360,294 against $5,737,824 of average sales *, 2.9% to 6.3%, because the assets are vans, parts and a phone.
Five agreements are signed and unopened, against 6 projected openings. Precision Garage Door Service had 15 actual openings in 2025, so the brand is guiding below its recent pace.
