Commercial Door Maintenance Service
Commercial Door Maintenance Service business.
Business Overview
Starting a commercial door maintenance route may be your opportunity to earn in excess of $100,000 per year. Best of all, this business can be started for peanuts. All commercial doors have one thing in common. They all need regular routine maintenance in order to be safe and work properly. Regular maintenance includes adjusting or replacing door closures and pivots, replacing automatic doormats, and lubricating pivots and concealed hinges. The business does require that you have a working knowledge of commercial door systems. However, the learning curve is short and you can pick up a lot of this knowledge on the job. Additional requirements will be a service vehicle, tools, and an inventory of the most popular types of replacement parts, as these are generally only available through specialty distributors or directly from the door manufacturers. The business is best marketed by providing your services to business locations with commercial door entrances on a monthly service contract basis. Current service rates are in the range of $40 to $60 per hour, plus parts. Commercial property management companies can be your first stop to offer this much-needed service to their existing business customers.
