I love when a business just does exactly what they say they’re going to do. It’s so rare, and makes such a difference. Tip Top did a great job, communicated well and charged a fair price. You can’t ask for more than that.

Avi was Great. Not only was he professional, He took the time to explain everything to me. His attention to detail was impeccable. I highly recommend this company. Ask for Avi in particular. I’ve had a few garage door companies throughout my years, but Tip Top was exactly what this company name is! I would use them again, but I’m pretty sure I’m not gonna have to after Avi fixed all my issues!

Frank Ibarra from Tip Top came out to service my garage door due to a sensor problem, he was efficient in identifying the main source of the problem and fixed the wiring. Very professional, honest and knowledgeable about what he was talking about. I would highly recommend and plan on recommending them to all my neighbors in our community. Great job Tip Top 👏🏻👏🏻. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
