How Castillo Garage Doors booked 9 spring repairs before 8 AM on the coldest morning of the year.
For a decade Marco Castillo's office line went to voicemail every time the trucks were rolling. Then a January cold snap snapped half the torsion springs in Riverside in one week, and Sarah was the reason his phone stopped bleeding $1,200 a call.
“Eleven calls before I'd had coffee. She caught nine of them.”Marco Castillo · 6:40 AM, January 14
Six metrics, year over year.
Pulled from the business's CRM exports and Sarah's call logs: the twelve months before signup, against the twelve months on Ansa.
Where they were, what they did, what's true now.
- 01Where they were
Six trucks, eight techs, and an office line that rang straight through to voicemail any time the crew was on a job, which, on a busy day, was all day. About six in ten calls during peak hours went unanswered, and two-thirds of those callers dialed the next garage-door company before Marco ever saw the missed-call notification.
- 02What they did
December 2025, before the winter rush. Marco did the math on a single missed call: an $80 lead, a 31% close, a $680 blended ticket, about $1,200 in revenue lost every time the phone rang out. He signed up on a Tuesday and was live by Thursday, three weeks before the cold front hit.
- 03What's true now
Sarah answers every spring call in seconds, captures the symptom and the door history, and books the nearest truck before the homeowner dials the next business. She flags the old doors as replacement candidates so Marco quotes the $2,500 job instead of the $340 patch. Castillo hasn't lost a cold-snap booking to a faster competitor since signup.
Six in ten calls used to go to voicemail when my guys were in the field, which is exactly when the phone rings. Now Sarah picks up every one, the trapped-car ones at 6 AM and the lady deciding on a new door at noon. The next cold snap is coming and for the first time I actually want the phone to ring.
Castillo is typical, not exceptional.
Most garage-door businesses on Ansa land in the same range: peak-hour answer rate near 100%, after-hours bookings up 200%+, payback inside the first cold week. Here's where Castillo sits against the rest of our garage-door customers.
