Ron did a great job on our vintage garage door, he tightened the springs to balance the heavy door before the diagnosis... After thorough testing we concluded that we needed a new opener.... Ron helped us to go through the myQ process...so nice of him Definitely I will recommend Ron to all the friends who needs garage doors service read more

Great service! Highly recommended. They came out to replace broken t-springs on our steel sectional door.

Ron is very knowledgeable and identified my garage door problem in 5 minutes. and he charged very reasonable. The fix is quick and he shared with me about sensor, and how frequently to lubricate the wheels etc. It's good to have him in my list to call to whenever my garage door has issues. read more

Ron is the best. As my double garage doors have fallen apart over the years he's always fixed/replaced things with quality parts, great workmanship and awesome customer service. Would not hesitate recommend to any of my friends read more

My Garage Door was unable to close down and was getting dark outside , Ron helps me fixed it so quickly , Ron has great professional knowledge and experience , thanks Ron - Jacqueline read more

I can't believe the number of garage door repair services I had contacted ...as it normally happens over time changing seasons, your garage springs bust (in my case it happened late night around 10 pm, when I heard a loud thud & I assumed something must have fell in the hood). Surprise, morning I try to open to drop my kid to school, the garage door doesn't open and ended up manually lifting the door and asking my son to hold it till I could take both cars out. Later, I call and reach out to many garage door repairers (also learnt my home warranty insurance doesn't cover garage repair as part of the basic package). Many quoted very high price ($300- $450), some said will have to come and see before quoting (inspite of me telling them about busted spring). However, Ron from Golden State Overhead Doors (overhead doors, I believe is old terminology for garage doors) was easy and pleasant to work with. He clearly quoted the price on phone and reached on scheduled time to replace both springs and fix within 20 min. Also, he had the correct "gold" painted spring (I learnt quite a bit about garage door repairs and springs from Ron who is very knowledgeable). That apart, Ron was very courteous to swing by again later after few days, when I mentioned to him about some noise while opening the garage. Highly recommend Ron (Golden State Overhead Doors) for any of your garage door issues. **Never entertain anyone who can't give a quote on the phone** read more

Based on prior Yelp reviews, I contacted Golden State Overhead Doors via email and received a call from Ron on the next business morning. Our door springs and opener had not been serviced in many years and I wanted to schedule "a tune up." Ron was able to fit us in quickly and recommended new springs, which including oiling and checking everything over. Very reasonable cost. Quick response. Knowledgeable. On time. Definitely worth all five stars. Thanks, Ron. read more

Ron is great as always. He could have charged us more, but he had identified the problem of the existing garage opener and fixed it instead of replacing the whole thing. He is very trustworthy, honest and professional, easily worth five stars rating for his service. Thanks, Ron! read more

another company said opener needed to be replaced, quoted $2k, Ron fixed it and cleaned oiled everything. like new, for $150, highly recommend, no problems done in 30 mins. read more

First time using Ron and his company, and will definitely use in the future. That honest locally-owned family business with honesty and integrity, that's them. Ron was honest, knowledgeable, and took care of us. He went above and beyond to dampen the motor for free. He did not try to upsell us on any warranty or extra service. Such a gem is rare especially in the home repair industry where national operations contract to local contractors that do shoddy work. read more

Ron was right on time and he replaced our broken garage door spring in less than a hour.

No frills, easy to work with owner. He was able to fix our problem same day. It's a little pricey but it's the bay area so kind of expected.

My garage door spring broke. My father is a Mister Fixit so he ordered a new spring, thinking that I would be happy to do the work to install it myself. I tried. I failed. Stuck with a new spring and no confidence to install it myself, I set out to find a pro to install it. I called over a dozen other garage door repair companies. They ranged from $145-225 in starting fees. One was very vague about the price after being annoyed/upset that I had ordered the spring on my own. A few other companies were polite but hinted that I was wasting their time and were happy to say "thanks for calling (but) bye." Ron left me a voicemail with his quote the morning after I called. (I called around closing business hours the day before.) His mood on the phone completely matched his personality when he came over to my house (this is the same day he left me a voicemail.) His mood and personality are nothing short of stellar; I can describe him as genuinely happy, go-lucky, friendly, easy-going, VERY knowledgeable (and happy to share his 30+ years of knowledge on the subject of garage doors), a hard worker (he didn't hesitate to get right to the physical work), ethical (he didn't upsell or suggest I purchase anything else), and has very high standards (he even throughly checked then even tightened my other garage door, something he definitely did not need to do!) Suffice to say, I more than HIGHLY recommend Golden State Overhead Doors! Thanks again, Ron! read more

I worked with Ron at GSO Doors to get a new garage door. He was super responsive on Yelp, the first person to respond with a quote and to come out and take a look. It took months to custom order a door that would fit the weird size we needed. Once it arrived him and his son installed it within half a day. They were courteous, kind, and did an amazing job. They just seem like super trustworthy, nice people. The kind of people you want to do business with. If you are looking for a new garage door, work with them! I highly recommend them and will be telling my friends about them as well. read more

My garage door wasn't moving. On pressing the remote, motor would hum but the chain wouldn't move. Glad I called Golden State Overhead Doors! Ron was punctual and professional throughout. He took time to explain the various options and was never pushy. I opted for a new belt driven system and it was night and day. Ron was very efficient and finished under 2 hrs. He answered all my questions and also helped me sync my car to the new system. Highly recommend calling Ron for your garage door repair needs. read more

Don't bother calling anybody else. My springs broke. Ron was at my house within 2 hrs. Replaced both springs within an hour. He is friendly and knowledgeable. My garage door is operating quieter and smoother than before. I called 6 other businesses and his rate is the best. Highly recommend Golden State. read more

Can't say enough good things about these guys, particularly Ron. Our sectional wood door broke across the top, and several other vendors told us the only way forward was a new door. In comes Ron, goes the extra mile to figure out how to fix it with metal braces and voila - better than new. Saved us thousands. Before and after attached. Thanks again! read more

I thought my garage died and was doomed! Thinking I needed a brand new motor etc... I called Ron he came over, looked at the situation, made some tweaks and got it to work! Saved me a ton of money not having to buy a new motor! Ron is a magician! Thanks Ron read more

Ron was very responsive and fixed my garage door issues very quickly. Really a nice guy as well. Highly recommend this company!

I'm so glad I read the reviews I called several places they were either over booked or cost at least double the price. I already did my homework I actually went online and figured out how to do the measurement and get the correct one for my size garage. I was attempting to do it myself and found that I couldn't do it physically so fortunately I found Ron. He was pleased to see that I actually ordered the correct one, and he easily installed it for me without an issue and he was quick easy very professional totally knows what he's doing, great price great time thanks Ron. Nice to know that some of those professionals or are not out to get us read more

So, this AM I heard a loud bang in the house, but couldn't find the source.... Once I tried going to work this AM & the garage door wouldn't work ,I knew immediately it was the garage door chain & sure enough it was broken (2nd time in 19 years). I called around in the AM & got various quotes, but many couldn't get it done "same day" (Friday). Fortunately for me, Ron from Golden State Overhead Doors personally answered the phone, was extremely courteous & committed to coming by mid afternoon same day! He was on time, totally professional & HONEST. As I thought I had 2 springs, but as it turns out I have only 1 & therefore Ron charged me for just the 1 spring & labor. Nice to still see honest & conscientious people out there. Choose Ron/Golden State Overhead Doors, you won't be disappointed! read more

WOW!! Talk about excellent customer service ... I called the number and Ron called me back in less than 10 minutes. After explaining the symptoms to him, Ron was able to diagnose the problem, walk me through what to look for and how to fix it myself. I was back in business after 5 minutes on the phone with him. When I asked how much I owed him he said it was on him. So of course I had to write a yelp review saying how fantastic Ron is. He could have easily charged me the minimum for a service call and been out of here in 3 minutes. He is clearly a very ethical fellow which this single gal really appreciates! read more

Left a message on their machine at 7:30 am on Saturday, knowing they didn't open until 8:00. Ron called me back by 8:05 and had the door fixed before 11:00. Great guy, excellent work and fair price. Couldn't have been a better experience. read more

Had a broken spring. Called Ron on my way home and he came over after I got home. Done and gone in half an hour. Fixed some scraping noise and a broken bearing as well. Will call when I need service again. read more

I am so pleased to have found Golden State. They were 1/2 the price of another company I called and arrived in the short time frame stated instead of the 4 hour wait of the other company. Bruce, one of the owners, was kind and professional. The job was completed and my garage door is back working perfectly. The office staff were also so helpful and efficient. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so much Golden State. read more

I am new to Yelp!!! This will be my first review but I'm beginning to see how the public is relying on networks like Yelp for referrals and resources.... I'm not into giving bad reviews as I feel anyone can and does have a bad day, may have ulterior motives, extenuating circumstances etc., so I'm really only prompted to give a Yelp out to a person, product or place that is worthy enough of the time it takes to write a good review! I guess it's become so important to use today's technology in weeding out the "great" from the rest, so here goes: I am a realtor with Prudential Ca. (30 years now) and have had many opportunities over the years to refer vendors, affiliates and workman in my associations with homeowners. I have used many other companies in the past for garage door repairs and replacements but when I came across Ron Fode at Golden State (about 10 years ago), all others paled in comparison. First, Ron was responsive (rare in the labor industry), his estimates were more than competitive and even more importantly, I discovered that even after a few years of installation, Ron gladly came back and stood by his work. He also made good on OP's work for me, since they did not! Ron came to my rescue on a number of properties when we had no key or the motor had broke, another time when my clients tenants could not get into their garage... he met me out of area and also came out in the evening so they could get into the garage... suffice it to say, he has a strong work ethic, real sense of fairness and customer service that comes from the heart! I highly recommend Golden State Overhead Doors. If you'd like a personal recommendation feel free to call my office phone at Prudential anytime 650-871-3631 (Maggie Alegria). read more

I needed a spring in my garage door to be replaced. The next day, Golden State was able to squeeze me in to their schedule. Besides replacing the springs, Golden State drilled in a couple of bolts for reinforcement and lubricated the hinges. Their fee was reasonable, too. read more

We had a big problem with a large wooden garage door in San Francisco. I got two quotes - the first guy told me I needed twelve new rollers and didn't even bother to close the door to look at the problem. Half an hour later Ron showed up, not only did he fix the door on the spot, but his rate was so reasonable that his estimate was over 2/3 less than the previous contractor. Ron informed me that my rollers were completely fine and I did not need to replace them. Ron re-attached the motor to the wall, repaired the wires that were cut, re-aligned rollers, and replaced the box that opens the garage door from the outside. Ron was a pleasure to deal with, very professional and really knows his stuff. We already have him lined up to fix another garage door. We highly recommend Golden State Overhead Doors. read more

I called a few companies to get an appointment to get our garage door repaired -- something wrong with the motor. Ron came out in very short notice (while other people didn't respond at all) and was helpful and repaired everything and also made some great improvements I requested like adding a keypad to the outside of the door (this is not expensive and I highly recommend it if you don't have one) and also got some extra remotes for our garage. It was a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended! read more

As everyone else has noted, Ron from Golden State is simply amazing! And he's super friendly and professional too. I had a big situation come up with my 600lb+ overhead garage door over the weekend. Called and left him a message. He quickly called me back and we scheduled a time for him to come over. He showed up on time, evaluated the issue and offered a quote. I immediately had him fix the problem. He's been in the business for more than 30 years, so if you have a garage door and/or opener issue, Ron is your guy. Trust me, you'll thank me later! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Ron of Golden State Overhead Doors. Scheduled an appointment so they could take a look at the job and tell me if there were any additional charges to the estimate of $625. No additional charges so I asked Ron when could he install the new garage door opener. He said right now, Ron had brought a new opener just in case. I was so surprised and pleased that I didn't have to wait. My opener was so old, that it didn't have any sensors or remote. Couldn't get a universal remote to work. Took Ron about 2 hours to remove the old and install the new. The door is so quite now when you open and shut it. Ron showed how to set up my car so it could replace open/close the door. He also told me I could download an app that would do the same. Also had an external pad installed which is nice to have if you lock yourself out of the house. Will continue to do business with Golden State and recommend them to my friends. read more

Ron came out same day, diagnosed my problem and gave me a price in 5 minutes, and fixed it in 50. Plus he fixed my light and made my door more quiet in the process. Friendly, great guy. Solid. read more

I have used Ron three times. First time was when I had been using my garage door a lot in a day and I burned out the motor. I thought my motor was dead. Ron came over late night and informed me that if I waited a while the motor would work. Did not charge me a dime. Called him back again years later to change my garage door and then again today the motor. His prices were the most competitive for both jobs. He was very detailed oriented in his work and went above and beyond (installed extra components, etc.). Definitely someone you can trust to do the job right. read more

Our 20-year old double-car garage door decided to stay closed over the weekend. Called Golden Gate on Monday morning, and Ron came over by 3:30 and quickly got it working again. He even looked at the other single-car door and voluntarily tuned it up. Highly recommend Ron at Golden Gate for any issues with garage doors. read more

Awesome father and son team (Ron and Ron Jr)! My automated garage door opener decided to take a vacation, so I called Golden State Overhead Doors to schedule an appointment after reading all the 5-star Yelp reviews. They arrived right on time, assessed the situation, identified the issue (worn carriage), gave a very reasonable quote, and fixed the problem... all under 30 minutes! Now that's service! read more

Quick, on time. Solid assessment on what needed to happen and the longevity of our door after repairs. Highly recommend Golden State Overhead Doors for future work. read more

Our garage door has given me problems for the last two years, and I got fed up trying to fix it myself. Ron came out the same day I contacted him and did some minor repairs that evening, then came back the next day to do a basic overhaul on our garage door. He was extremely professional and did great work. read more

We had a broken spring on our garage door that my husband just accepted as a house idiosyncrasy. He was going to fix it himself (don't hold your breath). Called Ron in the morning. He came out that afternoon and within an hour replaced both springs, oiled all the parts and it works like a new door. Is he the cheapest? Who cares? He was on time, efficient, did the work with no hesitation and did a great job. He's local to me also. Fantastic. Can't recommend him enough. read more

Ron was on time, fixed the problem, and charged as much as he quoted me. I can't complain, plus he was a very nice guy. Highly recommended!

My old garage door and opener needed immediate repair or replacement. Called Golden State on a Monday and had a brand new garage door and opener the next Tuesday. New door installed and old door removed. Friendly, fair price, clean and efficient. I could not be happier with the experience. read more
