A homeowner's garage door won't open and their car is trapped inside before work. They call whoever answers first.
Pocket Funnel answers every call and text 24/7, qualifies the customer the way your best dispatcher would, and books the job into the software you already run — then reports the recovered revenue to your phone.
What's leaking, in Garage Doors numbers
About a third of home-service calls come after hours, and most voicemail callers just call the next company.

A typical Garage Doors service call is worth about $250 (an after-hours call, closer to $400; a replacement, $1,200). Recover just one missed job a week and that's about $1,000/month back in your pocket — the kind of number the free audit estimates for your actual phone.
Illustration using industry-benchmark averages, not a promise. Tickets: Angi/HomeAdvisor/Forbes (2025–2026) — repair ~$250, install ~$1,200. Emergency figure is a derived same-day premium, not a cited benchmark. Leakage uses conservative cross-trade floors.
We triage Garage Doors calls the way you would
The front office knows the difference between an emergency and a routine job — because it's tuned to your trade, not a generic script.
- urgentcar trapped / door won't open
If their car is stuck inside and they need it, treat as same-day. Get the address and whether the door is fully stuck or partially open.
- urgentdoor off track / broken spring
A door off its track or a snapped spring is unsafe to operate — tell them not to force it and book the next available tech.
- standardnoisy / slow / remote not working
Schedule into the next standard window; note the opener brand.
Ready for your busy season
Cold-weather spring breakage — torsion springs snap more in the cold; expect a winter bump in repair calls.
A snapped spring on a freezing Traverse City morning with the car stuck inside is a same-day job — Pocket Funnel answers and books it before the homeowner tries the next listing.
