Frequently Asked Questions
What multiple do garage door companies sell for?
Service-weighted independent dealers with $10 to $25 million of revenue are trading at roughly 7 to 9x adjusted EBITDA, $3 to $10 million companies at 5.5 to 7.5x, and platforms above $25 million at 12 to 16x. Dealers dependent on new-construction installation sit a turn or two lower.
Who is buying garage door companies?
Private equity platforms. KKR agreed to acquire A1 Garage Door Service for roughly $2 billion in September 2026, Oak Hill Capital bought Guild Garage Group for about $800 million in April 2026, and The Sterling Group's OGD Overhead Garage Door has made six add-on acquisitions in two years. Twenty-six garage door companies sold to sponsor-backed buyers in 2025.
What increases the value of a garage door business?
Repair and service revenue rather than new-construction installation, recurring commercial dock and door maintenance agreements, lead flow the company owns rather than rents through paid search, low customer concentration, stable technicians, and a business that runs without the owner.
