💩 Why it's ugly

Nobody dreams of adjusting hydraulic arms above a greasy sandwich shop entrance. It is repetitive, mildly awkward, and usually discovered after a door has been annoying everyone for six months.

💰 Why it prints money

Commercial doors get abused all day and property managers need quick fixes, not poetry. Parts are affordable, labor is billable, and repeat work comes from retail strips, offices, schools, clinics, and restaurants.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
