Emergency repair calls (broken springs, failed openers, cables off the drum) generate the highest daily volume in the garage door category. Replacement calls (homeowners upgrading to insulated doors, smart openers, or carriage-house styles) carry higher ticket values and slightly longer close cycles. Both categories perform well as exclusive inbound calls -- the urgency drives volume, and the replacement segment builds the high-ticket pipeline.
