For garage door companies

Hours of office work, done in minutes of talking. Even when you're winding a torsion spring and can't let go.

Every call gets answered and booked while you work: the snapped spring with the car stuck inside, the opener that won't respond, the new insulated door. Quotes, door orders, invoices and payment follow-ups go out on their own. It's a 24/7 AI Office Manager you run safely, hands-free, from the truck.

  • From $49/month
  • No annual commitment
  • Keeps your own number
Example7:00 am, in the truck
AI Office ManagerTen calls since yesterday afternoon, all answered. Six are booked, including two broken springs this morning. I also:
  • Sent the Jensen invoice, $310 for a spring replacement, with a payment link
  • Confirmed the 16x7 insulated door for the Parks ships Tuesday
  • Quote for a new door and opener at the Wongs', waiting for your OK

Where a garage door business loses work

A broken garage door is urgent: the car is stuck inside or the house won't lock. Those callers phone one company after another until someone answers, and they book on the spot.

268%

of its cost comes back at resale when a homeowner replaces a garage door, the best return of 28 remodeling projects in 2025. That is why a repair call so often turns into a new-door quote, if someone answers it.

is the normal range homeowners pay for a garage door repair, and a spring call can become a new door.

What it does for a garage door company

It isn't an answering service. Calls are one job out of many. It's an AI Office Manager that does the office work itself, around the clock, and checks with you on anything that matters.

  1. Answers and triages every callIt asks your questions first: is the door stuck open or closed, is a spring or cable broken, is a car trapped. It tells the caller not to force the door or pull the release on a broken spring, and books the visit on the live call with a text confirmation.
  2. Quotes new doors and openersSay the size, the model, the color and the price. It writes the quote with your options, like insulated or not, windows or not, and a belt or wall-mount opener, sends it and follows up until the customer decides.
  3. Orders doors and parts"A 16 by 7 insulated steel door in white, short panel, and a pair of 207 springs for pickup at 7." It sends the order to your distributor, tracks the ship date and books the install when it arrives.
  4. Sells and books tune-upsIt offers your annual tune-up to past customers, books the visits and sends a reminder the day before.
  5. Invoices and chases paymentThe invoice goes out when you say the job's done, through your own Stripe, QuickBooks or Xero, and reminders go out on your schedule until it's paid.
  6. Handles builders and property managersIt answers builders asking when you can hang doors on a new build and managers with a broken door at a rental, checks your calendar and confirms or flags the conflict.
  7. Keeps customers postedWhen a spring job runs long, it texts the next customer your new arrival time and moves the rest of the day around it.

And the rest of the office

Beyond the work above, it runs the everyday office for you, and you run it by talking to it.

  • Answers calls 24/7
  • Books jobs on the live call
  • Calls back missed calls
  • Texts customers and crew
  • Reads and replies to email
  • Runs your calendar
  • Quotes and estimates
  • Invoices
  • Payment reminders
  • Follows up on open quotes
  • Orders from suppliers, even on their websites
  • Asks for reviews
  • Spoken daily briefing
  • Asks before anything that matters
  • Undo window on what it sends
  • Hands-free voice, safely in the truck

How it handles a broken spring, then a new door quote

Two example conversations, written to show how it works. They are not recordings of real customers. The first is a homeowner at 6:50 am. The second is you, that afternoon, between jobs.

6:50 am: a homeowner calls

Example callYour business line
CallerThere was a loud bang in the garage and now the door won't open. My car's inside and I have to get to work.
AI Office ManagerThat bang is usually a broken spring. Please don't try to lift the door or pull the red release cord, because the door is very heavy without the spring. Is anyone hurt?
CallerNo, we're fine. Just stuck.
AI Office ManagerOkay. The first visit I can offer is 8:15 this morning. A spring replacement is usually $260 to $340 for a two-car door, and the technician confirms the price before starting. Shall I book it?
CallerYes, 8:15 please.
AI Office ManagerYou're booked for 8:15. I'm texting the confirmation now, and you'll get a text when the technician is on the way.

2:40 pm: you, between jobs

Hands-freeDriving
YouThe Wongs want a new 16 by 7. Quote $1,690 for the insulated steel door installed, and $2,240 with a belt-drive opener and two remotes. Haul-away included.
AI Office ManagerGot it. Should I add your note about lead time on the windowed version, like the Parks quote?
YouYes, two weeks for windows.
AI Office ManagerSent with both options and the two-week note. If they haven't replied by Friday, I'll follow up. The Jensen invoice was paid this morning, so I've marked it paid.

What is the office work costing you?

Answer a few questions about your calls, quotes and invoices. You'll see the hours you'd get back each week, the work you'd keep, what an office hire would cost instead, and which plan fits. Every assumption shows its source, and you can change it.

Questions garage door companies ask

Is this just an answering service?

No. Answering calls is one thing it does. It's a 24/7 AI Office Manager that does the office work itself: it books repairs, quotes new doors and openers, orders doors and parts, sells tune-ups, invoices and chases payments, handles email and texts, and tells you what it did.

What does it tell a caller with a broken spring?

Only the safety advice you give it, such as not lifting the door or pulling the release cord. If someone is hurt or the door has fallen on something, it tells them to call 911 and lets you know right away, by your rules.

Can it give a price range on the phone?

Yes, if you give it one, such as your spring replacement range or a service-call fee. For new doors it books a measure or sends your quote once you've given the model and price.

Can it track special-order doors?

Yes. It places the order with your distributor, keeps the ship date, tells the customer when the door is in and books the install, so a door doesn't sit in the shop while the customer waits.

Is there a garage door answering service that also books the repair and sends the quote?

That is what Unmanually does. A plain answering service takes a message about the broken spring and leaves you to call back. Unmanually answers on your own number, asks whether the door is stuck open or closed and whether a car is trapped, books the visit on the live call, then writes the new-door quote when you say the price and follows up until the customer decides.

What garage door business software does a small company actually need?

Most two- or three-truck garage door companies need four things working together: calls answered and booked 24/7, quotes for doors and openers with options, distributor orders tracked to the install date, and invoices that chase themselves. Unmanually does all four from one conversation and connects to the Stripe, QuickBooks or Xero you already use, so you don't need a separate tool for each.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You connect your own Twilio or Telnyx account and your business number runs through it. We don't sell or provide numbers, so the line stays yours.

Will customers know they're talking to an AI?

If anyone asks, it says so plainly. When a caller wants you personally, it takes the details and lets you know right away, or puts them through if you've said to.

How does setup work?

Tell it how you work in plain words, out loud or typed: your service-call fee, your spring and opener prices, your hours, your service area and what needs your OK. Every plan includes a 1:1 setup call, booked right after checkout: in about 30 minutes we connect your email, calendar, invoicing and phone line with you and check it works the way you do. After that, you change anything by telling it.

Which plan should I pick?

Most owners pick Growth. You get 3 seats, so your office person and a lead installer each get their own login, and when a busy month pushes past your capacity you can purchase additional usage on the spot (Starter requires an upgrade). Starter is the entry plan for trying it alone at low volume. Companies with several trucks that hand over the whole office get the most from Scale: 10 seats, the highest capacity and the fastest tier. You can move up any time: your new month starts that day, and the unused part of your old plan comes off the first charge.
