Portland, Oregon

We buy and build enduring garage door businesses.

Durable Trades is a permanent home for garage door businesses. We are entrepreneurs who want to spend our careers building, and we have no intention to sell.

Think Like an Owner

Our podcast with other ambitious garage door owners.

For owners

We want to empower your team to grow for decades more.

We have no plan to sell our businesses, we live in Oregon, and we plan to pass our ownership in Durable Trades to our kids. This is what you can expect from us.

We show up.

We believe time together in person builds trust and shows you care about the team, the mission, and collective growth. We will be there when you need us, for as long as you need us.

We eat the frog.

We do the hard things first, we won't leave the most important decisions for last.

We make it last.

Building a company that endures for decades takes a different approach to decision-making. We want to build brands that outlast us.

Talk to us

We'd love to start a conversation.

Whether you are ready now or a few years out, we would like to hear from you. Every conversation stays between us.
