How much does a Pro Lift Garage Doors franchise make?

Pro Lift Garage Doors franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Pro Lift Garage Doors's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Pro Lift Garage Doors franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Pro Lift Garage Doors franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $433,757 of revenue, a 6% royalty alone is about $26,025 a year before any other cost.

Pro Lift Garage Doors lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Pro Lift Garage Doors's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 9 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Pro Lift Garage Doors itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 6 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Pro Lift Garage Doors closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Pro Lift Garage Doors will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Pro Lift Garage Doors's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Pro Lift Garage Doors's latest tables show significant franchisee turnover. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 25.7%, against a home services median of 5.1% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved -18 to 54 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Pro Lift Garage Doors?

That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:
