Technicians and installers who want booked work

Austin Garage Door Tech takes the calls and sends the work out; it does not employ anyone on the tools. The technicians who get jobs from us run their own trucks across Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander, Dripping Springs and Bastrop, and most of them hire their own helpers. So there are two ways in: as an independent technician or installer who wants booked appointments, or as someone looking for a seat in one of those trucks.

What gets a technician on the list

• A safety record you are willing to talk about, especially around torsion springs and cables.
• A van or truck of your own, stocked with the springs, cables, rollers and opener parts the common doors in this metro take.
• The habit of stating the price on the driveway before any work starts, and sticking to it.
• Your own insurance certificate, ready to show a homeowner who asks, because they will.
• Knowing the rules as they are: no Texas licence exists for this trade, an opener-only install needs no DPS licence unless it is tied to an alarm or an entry log, and a new hard-wired outlet goes to a licensed electrician.
• Turning up inside the window you gave, and leaving the garage cleaner than you found it.

What the trucks look for in a helper

• Someone who can diagnose a door by lifting it, swap springs and cables without shortcuts, and set an opener's force and travel properly.
• For installers, measuring an opening correctly and hanging an insulated steel door square and balanced.
• Reliable transport, your own hand tools, and a clean safety history.
