This was our first time using Firstline for our industrial property, and needless to say they will be our go-to team for the future. Alex came out the very next day and delivered a clear, detailed plan to address a tricky, unconventional repair issue. Beyond just weatherproofing the garage, they rebuilt and reinforced framing that was over 40 years old. The entire job was completed promptly, professionally, and to the highest standard. Our tenants are thrilled they no longer have to deal with flooding in their unit. Thank you Alex and your team!

My Airbnb guests broke the garage door around 9 PM. I called Firstline and spoke with Alex — he answered right away, which was a pleasant surprise that late in the evening. By the next morning, he had replaced the door and repaired all the damage. The price was very reasonable, especially for an emergency call. I’ve used them 2–3 times now — always fast, professional, easy to work with, and fair on pricing. Highly recommended!

Very happy with the company’s work! They installed a Genie 7155LD garage door opener — everything was done quickly, neatly, and professionally. The technicians arrived right on time, clearly explained how to use the system, and even helped set up the external keypad. The equipment was installed with great quality, and it runs quietly and reliably. You can tell they have a lot of experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable garage door installation services!
