Alex was very professional and helpful. He answered all my questions and was very transparent about timing and pricing. I will certainly use Firstline again!

Great price, service, and people! Owner Alex and his assistant put in a new super quiet/smart garage door opener/motor in today. Also help me set up my MyQ app for remote opening/closing of my garage door too. Nice, friendly, honest company to do business with! Highly recommend!

I called with an emergency repair at 8am when my garage door chain broke. They came within an hour, and everything was fixed promptly so I could go about my day. I was so relieved when they were able to turn my panic moment into a total non-issue.

My garage door springs popped after 18 years. They had a good run, but of course it never happens at a convenient time.
I sent a request for quote through Yelp and received an immediate response from Alex. He gave a firm price with a great warranty and was on site within 2 hours to complete the repairs.
Thanks, Alex! Great job.

I called and spoke with Alex who was able to come out to my home and fix my broken tension spring. He also replaced the cables and came back the next day to seal the exterior door with trim to help with insulation. He was prompt and professional. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Alex came out immediately and found out what the problem was. His price was very reasonable, and the quality of work was outstanding. He went above and beyond in the customer service department. He actually looked at the other 2 garages in my building and did Maintenace on them while he was there. They are very professional. Called to let you know they are on the way and got the whole job done nicely. I would highly recommend this company and use them in the future!

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.

When our garage was malfunctioning, I called Alex and he agreed to come the same day. When I had to unexpectedly reschedule for a later time on the same day, he was so flexible and was able to accommodate the request. When he came over he was able to fix the garage door right away for a reasonable price and did a clean job. Highly recommend Firstline Garage Door Repair.

My garage door was in need of replacement, and my opener was not operating properly. I sent out a few estimate requests, and did receive some replies. However Alex from Firstline stopped by my home, evaluated my problem(s), and we discussed options and a timetable for removal and installation of a new door and hardware. When my new door and parts arrived Alex called me to set up an installation date. I mentioned that I was having a problem with my opener, and he stopped by my home, made some adjustments to my opener, and we setup up an install date. There was no charge for this service call! Alex was punctual, showed me what he was going to do, completed installation without a problem, and charged me exactly what he had quoted to me weeks earlier. He took away all of the old hardware, and even swept my entire garage floor once he was finished. If you want to help a small businessman who is honest, punctual, extremely competent, and does not try to sell anything to you unnecessarily, do yourself a favor. Call Alex at Firstline - you'll be happy you did. I sure am.

Needed a broken torsion spring replaced. I reached out at 9PM and Alex came out the next morning. His quote was more than fair and he gave an honest assessment of any additional work that was recommended. Will be using Firstline again for future garage work.

He is the best, knowledgeable, honest, a great price. (See the detail explanation below). I'm going to recommend him to everyone I know.
My cable came off one side and my door was lopsided and one of the roller came out. Also my rail got bent. I had one company came out and estimated for $350 labor and extra cost for parts if there might be problem. Also suggesting to get a new door. However I found Alex (no review but i wanted to get second opinion). He came out and saw the problem and he said he can do it like no problem. It was way cheaper and fixed it so fast and even change two new parts cuz it had corrosion. He spray everything and made an adjustment and even give me a tip how to maintain by purchasing spray from homedepot. Also I asked him about getting a new door cuz the corner never closed flat (with small gap) but he said new door will not fix my problem cuz I have low bearing and even if I get new one it will be same. Alex is awesome! Saved tons of money and fixed my issue. I wish I had pictures before the job.
