Our Story

About 1stgarage

Washington's most trusted garage door service provider, delivering exceptional quality and reliability since 2005.

Our Story

How 1stgarage became Washington's premier garage door service provider

Founded in 2005 by Michael Johnson, 1stgarage began with a simple mission: to provide the Pacific Northwest with garage door services that combine technical excellence with exceptional customer care.

After working for years as a technician for large national companies, Michael saw an opportunity to create something better—a local service provider that truly understood the unique needs of Washington homeowners, from the rainy Seattle climate to the specific architectural styles of the region.

What started as a small operation with just two service trucks has grown into the region's most trusted garage door company, with a fleet of fully-equipped vehicles and a team of factory-trained technicians serving communities throughout Washington state.

Despite our growth, we've maintained our commitment to personalized service. We're still family-owned and operated, and we still treat every customer's home as if it were our own.

Today, 1stgarage is recognized for our reliability, craftsmanship, and honest approach. We're proud to be the first choice for homeowners throughout the Pacific Northwest.
