Start Prepared
Go from learning the industry to confidently solving real door problems for customers in your community. Ensuring the first customer isn’t the first learning curve.
The Problem With Starting From Scratch
You want more control. Not more dead ends.
Do you really want to spend years testing every road only to discover which ones lead nowhere? You’ve probably thought about pricing, marketing, hiring, training, systems, and it can get overwhelming quick.
Where the Risk Piles Up.
- 01 Entering a market without a clear plan.
- 02 Building every system through trial and error.
- 03 Paying for mistakes before learning the lesson.
The hard part isn’t ambition or capital, it’s building the map while trying to run the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions, Answered.
Not quite ready to open this door of opportunity? These might help.
A Franchise Partner is an individual or entity that enters into a contractual agreement with Door Gurus to operate a business using our established brand, systems, and support.
We got you covered! From hiring playbooks to field training, you will be well on your way to building a crew of Door Gurus!
Every kind of residential door, including garage doors and light commercial doors.
Yes. We do prefer to repair wherever possible, but we also install new doors.
You’ll receive a blended program of initial virtual and in-person training covering technical skills, operations, marketing, and administration — plus ongoing support and training for yourself and any future Gurus you hire to join your team.
The Support Centre provides multifaceted assistance to all Franchise Partners. We’re here to answer any questions about your business — operations, marketing, sales, hiring, training, and technical skills, just to name a few.
Territories are specific, defined areas, usually divided by postal codes, ideally containing a minimum population of 200,000. Your territory is exclusive and protected — no other Franchise Partner is permitted to work in it.
Starting a Door Gurus franchise typically starts around $62,000 CDN. This includes the initial franchise fee, required tools and equipment, initial training, a custom vehicle wrap, initial marketing costs, and specialized CRM technology.
Of course! We know how much hinges on your business success and want to reduce barriers for our Franchise Partners. Book a Discovery Call to speak with our Sales Team about financing options.
Absolutely! Partners can operate multiple locations, either within connected territories (where available) or in different regions, and can purchase additional trailers to increase team size and productivity.
Door work is largely underrepresented while home services demand increases every year. That gives you a rich opportunity to unlock an under-saturated, under-serviced market with top-notch, specialized service.
Our Franchise Agreements have a term of 10 years, and include provisions for renewal options.
