How Ascent came about.
I’ve been in the garage door trade for more than 11 years. I started Ascent about three years ago for a simple reason: I wanted to measure, quote and install every job personally, rather than hand the work to a call centre or a rotating crew. Since then I’ve personally installed around 500 doors across Geelong, the Surf Coast and Bellarine, on top of more than 5,000 over my full career in the trade.
It’s a family-run operation, and that shapes how we work day to day. Most of the time the honest answer isn’t the most expensive one – I’d rather recommend the right-sized fix than push a bigger sale I don’t believe in.
The work, in short.
Installation, replacement, repairs, servicing and automation – across roller, sectional, tilt and custom doors. Most of my work is new builds, with builders across Geelong’s growth corridors calling on me directly, alongside replacements and service calls on established homes.
The doors I install most often.
