ABOUT THE FOUNDER OF CHRIS' GARAGE DOORS
Chris Tyrrell – Founder and Owner, Chris' Garage Doors
Chris Tyrrell is the heart and soul of Chris' Garage Doors, a local Colorado business dedicated to making a positive impact both in homes and in the community.
Since founding the company in 2017, Chris has brought his dedication to quality craftsmanship, integrity, and community service to every aspect of the business. What began as a small operation now thrives with a close-knit team that shares Chris’ vision of making Colorado a better place to live.
At Chris' Garage Doors, giving back is more than a business practice—it’s a core value. The company proudly operates under the vision and mission of “Making Colorado a better place to live by valuing people as our highest commodity, doing the best possible work, and giving generously back to our community.”
Guided by this philosophy, Chris has committed to donating 3% of the company’s total revenue annually to local non-profits, contributing over $100,000 since 2019. This spirit of giving earned the business the BBB Torch Award for Ethics in 2023, and made Chris’ Garage Doors a finalist for the 2024 IABBB Torch Award for Ethics. These honors reflect the company’s steadfast commitment to both ethical practices and community enrichment.

Under his guidance, the team has volunteered for causes like Backpack Society to support kids facing food insecurity, WeeCycle, to help provide essential items for infants and toddlers, and the Bullying Recovery Resource Center, to help families in need of support.
These volunteer efforts, combined with a bonus program that encourages employees to volunteer up to 8 hours each month, reflect the company’s strong belief in giving back as part of everyday life.
Chris' dedication to creating a welcoming, supportive environment extends to his team as well. He fosters a culture of continuous growth, kindness, and dependability. Every employee is valued for their unique strengths, and Chris takes great care in ensuring his company is a place where people feel supported, motivated, and empowered to go above and beyond for their customers and their community.
A firm believer in the power of relationships, Chris has built long-standing partnerships with local organizations and nonprofits, while also remaining deeply engaged in the business community.
