2020 was anything but a normal year. Although it has been a challenging time for businesses of all shapes and sizes, certain industries have proven to be better positioned for the “new normal” than others. For example, as homeowners spend more and more time in their houses contemplating home improvement projects amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the home services industry is booming. Garage repair and maintenance franchise <a href="https://www.premiumservicebrands.com/prolift-garage-doors/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=prolift-garage-doors-wraps-up-2020-with-13-new-territories-and-20-year-over-year-sales-increase-2714904" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ProLift Garage Doors</a> is a prime example — across its 20-plus locations throughout the U.S., the brand has seen an overall increase of 20% in year-over-year sales.&nbsp;Acquired by Paul Flick in 2015, ProLift Garage Doors, one of the <a href="https://www.premiumservicebrands.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=prolift-garage-doors-wraps-up-2020-with-13-new-territories-and-20-year-over-year-sales-increase-2714904" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Premium Service Brands</a> franchises, performs <a href="https://1851franchise.com/proliftgaragedoors/how-prolift-garage-doors-offers-customers-the-greatest-service-in-repair-and-installation-2713536#brand-latest-stories">repair, replacement, installation and servicing of overhead garage doors and loading dock components for residential and commercial clients</a>.&nbsp;“We’ve been fortunate to experience this kind of success during such a stressful time,” said <a href="https://1851franchise.com/proliftgaragedoors/executive-qa-david-raymond-vice-president-of-prolift-garage-doors-2713559#brand-latest-stories">David Raymond, vice president of operations with ProLift Garage Doors</a>. “While we recognize that the homeowners who are taking advantage of the time to attend to their lists of improvements have been a huge bolster for business, it’s really been the success of our core model and the strength of our franchisees behind it that have helped ProLift see such success this year.”&nbsp;The success isn’t only on the consumer front — the brand has also been expanding its franchising efforts. In October, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/proliftgaragedoors/terrance-roberts-joins-premium-service-brands-as-vp-of-franchise-development-for-prolift-garage-doors-2714156#brand-latest-stories">the brand expanded its leadership team</a> with the hire of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrance-roberts-0580751a/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=prolift-garage-doors-wraps-up-2020-with-13-new-territories-and-20-year-over-year-sales-increase-2714904" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Terrance Roberts</a> as vice president of franchise development to promote growth through franchising. In this new role, Roberts’ main responsibility will be to work with franchise consultants and the marketing department to nurture leads and bring qualified entrepreneurs into the system. And in December, Premium Service Brands also brought on franchise industry veteran <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/iric-wexler-cfe-0683b814/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=prolift-garage-doors-wraps-up-2020-with-13-new-territories-and-20-year-over-year-sales-increase-2714904" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Iric Wexler </a>as chief development officer.&nbsp;“I’ve been in the franchising industry for three years this month,” said Roberts. “In 2017, I joined the team as a franchise development manager and experienced great success with them. After transitioning to the nonprofit world for a while, I was contacted earlier this year by Premium Service Brands and asked to return as the vice president of franchise development for ProLift Garage Doors, a brand that has been exploding in popularity. Now my main goal is to bring great people onto the team to represent the ProLift Garage Doors brand.”In 2020, ProLift Garage doors sold 13 territories and expanded into three new states. The brand’s 2020 success hasn’t gone unnoticed in the franchising industry — the brand has also won several awards this year. For example, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/proliftgaragedoors/inc-ranks-prolift-garage-doors-among-the-top-5000-fastest-growing-private-companies-in-america-2714212#franbuzz">Inc.’s 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America featured ProLift Garage Doors</a> because of its tremendous growth this past year — ranking the brand No. 2,965 overall.

Running a ProLift Garage Doors franchise also offers owners the flexibility to operate from their home or a small office while scaling their business at their own pace. As COVID-19 has proven, regardless of the economy, professional garage door technicians are sought after by homeowners and business owners alike, meaning ProLift owners can take advantage of the brand’s in-demand garage-door franchise opportunity.“When the pandemic caused major shutdowns, we were affected just like every other small business,” says James Ball, owner of <a href="https://www.proliftdoors.com/portland/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=prolift-garage-doors-wraps-up-2020-with-13-new-territories-and-20-year-over-year-sales-increase-2714904" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ProLift Garage Doors of Portland</a>. “But, one of the great things about being a part of a franchise system is that from day one, I’ve had a ton of support and resources given to me by Premium Service Brands and their team. That’s truly how a franchise system is supposed to work and the exact reason I chose franchising over going into business for myself. Our business picked back up and we’ve had a great year despite the challenges.”When it comes to the future, ProLift Garage Doors is looking for qualified owners to help expand its network of franchisees and bring its services to <a href="https://www.premiumservicebrands.com/available-territories/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=prolift-garage-doors-wraps-up-2020-with-13-new-territories-and-20-year-over-year-sales-increase-2714904" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">available territories</a>. The brand has identified several target markets for growth, including Phoenix; Nashville, Tennessee; San Antonio, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee and Columbia, South Carolina.“ProLift Garage Doors is a rapidly expanding brand, and we strive to be the first thought when customers need a garage door solution,” said Premium Service Brands CEO Paul Flick. “ProLift Garage Doors is looking for qualified owners to help expand our growing network of franchisees to bring these needed services to as many communities as possible. The success that we achieved in 2020 will help support growth as we continue to search for candidates to join the Premium Service Brands family.”On average, the total all-in initial investment for a ProLift franchise ranges from $101,375 to $142,000.
