Needed to replace 2 garage door motor openers due to the fact that they were extremely loud and lacking functionality. Alex with Firstline was very attentive to my requests and literally recommended the best openers on the market, which crossed all my concerns. As well, at the Quote appointment, Alex only recommended replacing key parts of the garage door to prolong its life, which is the kind of service everyone desires. The job was promptly scheduled, and installing was faster than promised. And the price for the service was reasonable. New Openers are ultra quiet, sturdy, and very technologically advanced. I highly recommend this company!!! Kudos to you guys!

There is no good time for a garage door to fail and this morning, one of the 3 torsion springs on my 16 foot wooden door broke.
The reviews for Firstline Garage Door Repair are spot on. I called them at 8:45, they arrived at 10 and done with the repair by 11. They upgraded the springs to better carry the heavy wooden door load, lubricated all moving parts and all is in working order again. These guys are pro's and great to work with.
Thank you Firstline!

We were impressed how knowledgeable and nice he was when we called to fix our garage door on a Sunday. Our family members garage door was unable to open and therefore we couldn't go anywhere with a car. He came the same day, sorted out the issue and fixed everything, recommended what we can do for longevity of the garage door and even tuned up the garage door. Cost was very reasonable and affordable. He was very genuine and clearly knew what he was doing. I highly recommend him and first line garage door repair.

Alex is a true professional. He was on time, and did an excellent job repairing the chain, which had broken on the opener itself. He went out of his way to make sure I was a happy customer. He is a no nonsense honest businessman, who will tell you exactly what you need and what you don't. It was a pleasure to do business with him. I will definitely use his service again. Highly recommended.

We had an issue with our garage door not opening properly. I found Firstline on Yelp and reached out to schedule an inspection. They were extremely responsive and worked around my timeline for the appointment. They showed up on time and did the work very efficiently. They offered me an inspection at no charge and the price for the work was absolutely fair. I highly recommend this company for any garage door repair issues!

Great experience! Alex was super responsive, worked very efficiently, and provided excellent value. He also proviI highly recommend him for your garage door repair, replacement, or installation.
Lastly, I should note that Firstline definitely does residential work, which wasn't entirely clear from the Yelp photos.
