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!

I used them to replace a broken spring on my garage door and received a very prompt response and very reasonable quote for the work. They showed up on my schedule fixed it, cleaned up and left. Very polite and courteous crew with no pressure or hard selling for other related issues. I would highly recommend them for their prices and good work and know exactly who to call next time I encounter a problem or my friends and family do.
