Kyle Rutter - Owner & Co-Founder

Your Neighborhood Garage Door Experts

I came to the Triangle over 20 years ago to play college baseball—and like a lot of people who arrive here for school or work, I never left. After college, I played professionally for several years before switching gears into the food industry. I started at the bottom and worked my way up, eventually leading multi-state teams and helping others grow into leaders themselves.

But in 2016, everything changed. My first son was born, and I knew I wanted a life that kept me close to home. That’s when I began laying the foundation for what would eventually become Ready To Roll Garage Doors.

We rebranded in 2024, and I stepped into the business full time with a clear purpose: to build a garage door company that respects your time, earns your trust, and delivers on its word. No chasing quotes. No missed appointments. No surprises. Just honest service—done right, by people who care.

We’re not a national chain. We’re local, rooted right here in the Raleigh area, and focused on raising the bar for what homeowners should expect. We show up on time, communicate clearly, and treat your home with the same care we’d expect in our own.

We also stand behind every job with what we call the 3 P’s—Protection, Peace of Mind, and Pride:

Protection – Just like an armadillo’s tough shell, we’re here to keep your home safe. That means secure, reliable doors that protect what matters most—your family, your belongings, and your peace of mind.
Peace of Mind – You can relax knowing your garage door will always perform flawlessly—delivering a worry-free experience today and dependable performance for years to come.
Pride – Your garage door should be something you’re proud of. We make sure it enhances curb appeal, adds value, and makes your home feel complete.

That’s what we believe in.
That’s what we deliver.
That’s what it means to be Ready To Roll.

Matt Whisenant - Owner & Co-Founder

Matt Whisenant brings decades of leadership experience to Ready To Roll, having led high-performing teams as a Director of Operations across the Southeast. With a background in restaurant leadership, Matt made the leap into home services with one goal in mind: to fix what so many homeowners say is broken in this industry—poor communication, unreliable service, and a lack of follow-through.

At Ready To Roll, Matt uses his passion for customer service and team development to raise the bar. He’s seen firsthand how frustrating it can be when no one answers the phone, quotes take days, and service techs don’t treat customers with respect. That’s why we do things differently. From the way we train our team to the way we communicate with customers, Matt ensures every part of the experience reflects the values we stand for.

We believe great service starts behind the scenes—with a team that’s cared for, trained well, and empowered to take pride in every job. And that’s Matt’s specialty.

Outside of work, Matt has been married to his wife Candace for over 20 years and is a proud dad to their daughter, Graham. When he’s not cheering her on at volleyball, he’s spending time with friends and family or catching a game from one of his favorite teams. He’s a lifelong Tar Heel, a proud (partial) owner of the Green Bay Packers, and a fan of just about any U.S. national team out there. You might also find him on the pickleball court, a disc golf course, or attempting a respectable round of golf.

Jacob "Jake" Arnhalt - Operations Manager

Jake brings a rare mix of discipline, craftsmanship, and heart to every garage door he installs or repairs. Originally from a dairy farm in Minnesota, he’s been working with his hands since the age of 10—starting in landscaping and eventually diving into every aspect of home building and repair.

After graduating, Jake served in the U.S. Marine Corps, stationed right here in North Carolina. Following his service, he found his calling in garage door installation and service—and never looked back. What he loves most is the chance to meet new people, solve real problems, and leave homeowners feeling better than when he arrived.
Now based in Fuquay-Varina, Jake lives with his two amazing daughters, who keep him on his toes when he’s not on the job. In his free time, you might find him out on his Harley, enjoying a little wind therapy on the open road.

“Jake brings a great level of care to not only his craftsmanship but also the level of service he provides every homeowner. His internal drive and passion is to find the best solution for each customer and their individual needs.”
– Kyle Rutter, Owner

Jake’s service-first mindset, attention to detail, and steady calm are just a few of the reasons homeowners feel confident (and cared for) when Ready To Roll shows up at their door.

Tyler - Installation Technician

Originally from Burlington, NC, Tyler now calls Benson home—after spending the last two years living in New York. Always hands-on, he grew up working on everything from home remodeling to cooking. He even pursued a college degree in culinary arts before discovering that his real passion wasn’t in the kitchen—it was in the garage.

Since 2019, Tyler has been installing and repairing garage doors with a focus on precision, professionalism, and creating great customer experiences. He genuinely enjoys meeting new people, solving real problems, and having a few laughs along the way. Whether it’s a quick repair or a full installation, Tyler’s goal is to leave every homeowner with a job done right—and a better day because of it.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find Tyler outdoors with his family and dogs or watching and playing sports. He brings the same energy and heart to everything he does—on the job and off.

“Tyler is one of those rare people who makes both the work and the experience better. He combines strong technical skill with a great attitude and genuine care for the homeowners we serve. Customers love him—and so do we.”
– Kyle Rutter, Owner

Frequently Asked Questions
—

Can I reuse the old tracks for my new garage door?
While it might seem tempting to reuse the old tracks, it's best to replace them. Each garage door is designed to work with specific tracks, and altering them can affect your warranty and compromise safety. Replacing the tracks ensures a smooth and safe installation.

What are the standard dimensions for a residential garage door?
The standard size for a single-car garage door is 8 feet wide by 7 feet high. However, garage door sizes can vary, so it's important to have a professional measure your garage door opening to ensure an accurate fit.

Do I need to replace my garage door opener with a new door?
If your garage door opener is in good working condition, you can often reuse it with a new garage door. However, if your opener is old or outdated, it might be beneficial to upgrade to a newer model that meets current safety standards.

Can I reprogram my garage door remote or keypad?
Yes, you can reprogram your garage door remote or keypad by following the instructions in the user manual. Alternatively, our technicians can reprogram it for you and show you how.
