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!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Firstline Garage Door Repair for a garage door installation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final installation, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to detail.

They helped me choose the perfect door to match my home’s style and provided a clear estimate with no hidden fees. The installation was completed efficiently and with great care, and they took the time to walk me through the features and maintenance tips afterward.

The quality of the door is outstanding, and I’ve already noticed a difference in both security and curb appeal. I highly recommend Firstline Garage Door Repair to anyone in need of garage door services. Their commitment to customer satisfaction truly sets them apart!

My neighbor recommended Firstline for my broken spring coils. Sergio was professional, and I'm not disappointed at all. Besides changing the broken coils, I also had Sergio change the rubber seal and rollers for an affordable price.

Definitely knows what he's doing and honest. I needed the repair done ASAP and he came on a weekend night, which I appreciate very much.

Fixed it, quadruple checked before he left to make sure everything work as it should.

Thank you very much again!
