Chattanooga, TN — 11/14/2025 — As Access Garage Doors celebrates 20 years of serving homes and businesses across America, the brand’s continued growth and national recognition can all be traced back to one place — its award-winning Chattanooga headquarters, where the Access business model was born, refined, and proven.
The original Access Garage Doors location — now serving as both national headquarters and the model for the franchise system — was recently named Chattanooga’s Best of the Best in the Garage Door Services category, an honor voted on by the general public. Soon after, Access Garage Doors earned statewide recognition as Tennessee’s Best Garage Door Contractor, also voted on by the general public. These achievements reflect not only local trust and performance, but also the strength of a business model developed and proven through real-world results over the last 2 decades.
“In today’s market, as independent garage door businesses are increasingly acquired and small operators face growing challenges, we’re proud to offer something genuinely good — a franchise model that is different and built from our award-winning headquarters, packed with value, and designed to give owners the advantages of a large corporation while keeping their independence,” said Jesse Cox, Founder & CEO of Access Garage Doors.
Access Garage Doors’ Chattanooga operations serve as the development and testing ground for every process, system, and innovation introduced across the franchise network. Each tool, service, and operational enhancement originates from real application and continuous refinement before being rolled out nationally — ensuring franchise owners receive proven systems designed for profitability and longevity.
Now with 25 franchise locations across 20 states — spanning Florida, Virginia, Indiana, Iowa, Idaho, Arizona, and Texas — Access Garage Doors continues to grow while staying true to its founding principles of quality, honesty, and affordability. Its “Stronger Together” mantra represents the brand’s commitment to helping independently owned franchises thrive collectively under a unified standard of excellence.
“These awards are proof that when our brand family works together regionally and nationally, success follows,” Cox added. “We believe in giving our franchise owners every advantage possible, but the heart of our growth remains the same — driven by real people achieving real results, built from the systems we’ve perfected right here in our own operating company location.”
