Kasey promptly responded to my request and Jeff was out the following day to replace a broken cable and spring. Jeff was very trustworthy and showed great expertise. I will be contacting KSE again should I have garage door service needs in Southborough.

We’ve used KSE Garage Doors on multiple projects and have had an excellent experience working with them. As a construction company, it’s extremely important for us to work with subcontractors who are dependable, communicate well, and do quality work — and KSE has consistently delivered. Their team is professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. They’ve handled everything from service and repairs to new garage door installations for us, and the work has always been completed properly and on schedule. When unexpected issues come up on a job site, they’re quick to communicate and find a solution instead of creating delays. It’s difficult to find reliable contractors that you can confidently send to your customers and know the job will be taken care of. KSE Garage Doors is one of those companies. We highly recommend them to contractors, property managers, businesses, and homeowners looking for a dependable garage door company. Kasey is a great guy and makes sure that everything is always 100%

Kasey quickly diagnosed the issue (wiring and sensors) and got my opener working correctly after I had disconnected my opener while finishing my drywall and painted my garage. I tried a few things but couldn't figure it out. I needed to get it operational quickly and wanted to know it would run smoothly. Called the day before and set things up. Overall: Very friendly, easy to work with and seemless. Would recommend to anyone and will call again when needed in the future.
