Access Garage Doors to Open Birmingham Location
Local Army Veteran and Educator Bring Quality Garage Service to Central Alabama
BIRMINGHAM, Al. (January 27, 2025) – Access Garage Doors, a leading provider of residential and commercial garage door services, is set to open a new location in Birmingham, Alabama. Mark and Philip Stephens, an uncle and nephew, are at the helm of Access Garage Doors of Birmingham. Their venture brings the expertise and reputation of Access Garage Doors, a trusted name in the industry for over 20 years, to the Birmingham area.
Business partners Mark Stephens, a retired educator with nearly 26 years of service in public education, and his nephew, Phillip Stephens, a soon-to-be-discharged U.S. Army veteran bring a unique combination of leadership, discipline, and community-focused values to their new business.
“After spending nearly three decades in public education, I wanted to build something meaningful for my family and community,” said Mark Stephens. “The proven franchise model of Access Garage Doors, combined with my dedication to service, allow us to provide the highest standard of quality and care for our customers.”
“The timing was perfect,” Phillip shared. “As I prepare to leave the Army, I’m excited to work alongside my uncle to build a business that reflects our shared values of integrity and hard work.”
Access Garage Doors of Birmingham will specialize in a full range of services, including custom garage door sales, professional installation, and expert repairs, catering to both residential and commercial clients. This marks the brand’s second franchise in Alabama, and the addition of Access Garage Doors of Birmingham is part of a broader strategic expansion for the brand, which saw impressive growth in 2024. Despite rapid expansion, the company prioritizes franchisee support.
“While we’re always proud of our tremendous growth across our system, what truly sets us apart is our commitment to prioritizing the support and development for our franchisees,” said Jesse Cox, Access Garage Doors CEO. “With a corporate team that has extensive industry experience, we know that this diligence is integral to lasting success.”
Access Garage Doors of Birmingham officially opened on January 16, 2025, offering a full range of services, including custom garage door sales, professional installation, and expert repairs for residential and commercial clients.
