We got estimates for maintenance and upgrading of our garage door motor, sensors and light from 3 companies, and Northgate was the most straightforward and upfront about what was needed and what it would cost. (One company actually told us they couldn't fix our door and we'd have to buy a new one!) Northgate's tech, Mike, showed up on time, worked efficiently and was very pleasant. After he mounted the control switch above my height, I asked him to move it down and he obligingly did it. As he was leaving I mentioned that my car had a button that had previously opened and closed the door. He told me that the manual had instructions but then stopped and said "want me to do it?" I said sure and in a couple minutes he'd programmed my car. read more

Our garage door wasn't working properly. I called Northgate Garage Doors based on their stellar reviews. Well, here's one more. Arden (Artie) came to our home and immediately diagnosed the problem, fixed it and did a full service. Not only is he prompt, professional, and thorough but he clearly enjoys his job and is committed to doing excellent work. On top of that, he was patient in showing me what to do the next time we have a similar issue. Northgate Garage Doors service was simply outstanding! read more

Mike at Northgate came first thing on a Monday during the busy holiday season to repair and inspect our garage doors. He was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable and kind. All around great experience. Thank you! read more

Excellent service from Arden. He knew his stuff. Performed basic maintenance and helped me understand how to keep our garage doors in tip top shape. Also friendly, nice, professional, patient and very polite. Set up the remote garage door openers in my car which I usually find complicated to set up. A pleasure doing business with him! read more

Northgate is the only company out of three that was able to figure out how to install a garage door in a small garage with a low ceiling. They were flexible with their timing and did a great job. read more

What an amazing company! The technician was kind, thorough and honest. Our garage door stopped working and the first company I called didn't even get on a ladder. They just gave me a very expensive quote to replace everything. When I said no, they quickly started discounting which is so tacky. Northgate Garage Doors didn't farm me out to an 800 number. When I called, they were professional and courteous. They sent their technician out within 24 hours. The technician did a thorough inspection (on a ladder) and found a short circuit. He had everything working within minutes for a nominal fee. He even oiled and inspected all parts. He also provided me with a quote for when we do need a new motor and it was much cheaper than the first company I called. I highly recommend Northgate Garage Doors. I won't use any other company! read more

Arden who was sent to our house couldn't have done a better job. He repaired our garage door and was prompt and courteous. The price was fair as well. Definitely recommend. read more

Called them left them a message and they never called back so I called them again and the guy starts quoting me prices for inspection and says we'll it could be $650, I said can you come out tomorrow and he says no the earliest we can come out is Next Tuesday.like he's doing me a big favor. I'll never call these guys again read more

I called NorthGate Garage Doors on Monday June, 10 and spoke to Tim. told Tim my problem and he put me on hold, came back and said he would have Greg out at my house in Novato that morning. i received a txt telling me he was on the way. Met Greg, and he confirmed I needed a new Garage Door and all the stuff that was required since buying the garage door 1993. I got the estimate late in the afternoon. I ordered the door with everything I need on Wednesday June 12. On June 20, the door was installed my Mike. Mike was so clean and organized. You could not ask for a more professional team to work with. I hope to never need a Garage Door again. However, if I do, it will be from NorthGate garage door. Thank you, Team, for a great job. read more

They were fast courteous and well priced. We are very happy with our new door and opener.

Arden was knowledgeable and helpful. Appreciate that this company was attentive and responsive.

I've used Northgate for more years than I can remember, and it has always been great. This week I installed a new door and it is a beauty. Mike measured it, and Tim ordered it for me, and it came out perfectly. Dale and Christian did the installation in less than four hours, and it went so professionally and smoothly. They are really good, working so competently together to make it all happen. The result is really great in function and aesthetics. I am so impressed with the entire experience and the team, and a special call-out to Dale and Christian! read more

Northgate Garage Doors - Great new door! Thank you Dale and Christian! - Garage Door Services Near Me - San Rafael, California

Our garage door broke, precluding us from being able to enter / access. I noticed the "Northgate Garage Doors" sticker on the door and called for help. Not only did they get out to me the very next day but they also accommodated my request to be their 1st appointment so that my garage could be fixed prior to a separate appointment I had later that day (that required access thru the garage door). Kind, professional, efficient, and at a great price. I'd strongly recommend to any / all with garage door needs. read more

This garage door repair xompany was very professional and reasonable. Our 20 year old opener was about to die. New one was put in within a week. read more

A day may come when my old garage door fails, when it forsakes its one job and breaks free of its track... but it is not this day. Thanks to Northgate Garage Doors. Great service, eminently knowledgeable, excellent communication, highly efficient. The technician, Arden, was personable & professional, and he quickly had my door back in (better than before) operation -- while, at the same time, pointing out likely future points of failure. When that day comes, I'll call Northgate Garage Doors. Highly recommended! read more

Six stars if that were possible! An update from my 2014 review. Northgate installed our door in 2007, and we had the first service visit ever in 2024. The service technician, Arden, was polite, friendly, and super-educational. Just needed a bit of adjustment and lubrication, and he explained what he was doing each step of the way. Price was very reasonable too. You can't go wrong supporting a local business with a track record like Northgate! Also, Arden is a mountain biker, so you can talk to him about that too while he works. He multi-tasks! read more

I would highly recommend this company. They were so professional, so customer friendly. The guy that came out to fix my ancient garage door went over the top and greased all the joints (it's now almost silent when it closes), tightened all the nuts and bolts as well as replaced the sensors. He even helped re-program my garage door opener which is not easy based on it's age. He didn't try to sell me a new garage door - just fixed mine, like the old days. Ten points for this company. read more

My 27 year old Liftmaster garage door opener stopped working. I called Northgate Garage Door on Monday morning and described the problem. They suggested two opener models and I chose the one. Dale came to my home the next day and installed the new Liftmaster opener. It's so much better than the old one. Belt drive, wifi, motion sensor light, app for remote operation. I really appreciate the good customer service and the next day service. read more

Excellent business... our experience with a new motor replacement was first class. The technician was honest , professional, courteous , and above all knowledgeable. We were highly impressed with this company. read more

We could not be happier with our new garage door opener AND with Arden, the gentleman who installed it. After my husband called, two men came out to assess the job and give my husband a quote. A couple of days later, Arden arrived and installed a beautiful, quiet, new opener. He did it quickly and neatly. After he was finished, he insisted on vacuuming the garage. He was so polite but friendly. The price was also good. Thank you, Northgate Garage Doors and thank you, Arden! read more

Northgate was prompt and professional. Arden replaced the broken spring quickly and was extremely courteous. The price was very fair, and I am very happy with Northgate Garage Doors entire operation. Would call them again if ever needed here in San Anselmo. read more

After getting an estimate from Home Depot, I called Northgate Garage Doors. They were a third of the price and had better service. Doing business with local company's makes good sense. Kevin was at my house the next day and he was wonderful. He gave me several price points and explained everything in easy to understand terms. I paid a deposit for half the work, which is standard for these kind of jobs. My house is older and the garage door is a bit smaller. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I got a simple white garage door with cute little windows with a slant. The remote can be used with my cell phone and locked when I am out of town. The motor has a special feature which gently lifts up if anything is obstructing its path. This safety feature prevents accidents. There is a battery back up in the event of an emergency. This is a new State Law and is required. The Garage door motor is quiet and purrs. Kevin showed up with Noe to help during the installation and both were a pleasure to work with. Everything looks incredible and works. Northgate Garage Doors is a well established business and I know I am in good hands. Wonderful job! read more

The spring broke on our door so I called Northgate to get it replaced. Dale and Christian arrived near the start of the appointment window and got right to work.

A+, Thank You Both Very Much! read more

My garage door was acting up and I thought New Garage door electric lifter. : ( But when Tech came out he said it was a stop switch on the track which it was and a whole lot cheaper then a new motor assembly! He explained the advantages of a new motor garage door opener which is his job but was not pushy about buying a whole new motor and mandatory accessories which I appreciated.... when my garage door opener does goes bad you can bet I will use Northgate to do the installation. PS the new garage door lifters come with a battery back up which with our frequent powers outages and the danger of fire is a good upgrade... Thanks Northgate!!!! read more

Essentially paid $120 for some WD-40 lubricating. Didn't do much for the issue I was looking to fix and the guy didn't seem very experienced. read more

Monday morning, no time to spare, can't open the garage door! The spring is broken and the cables are off, that door's not going anywhere. Who do you call? Northgate Garage Door sent a service man out, he did a temporary fix of my broken spring, got my car out of the garage, and I was off to work. These guys really care if you're stuck, and have plenty of experience with the rescue work. They do repairs of hardware, all the way through door replacement. Roll-up doors or 1-panel behemoths, they handle it all. Nice guys, ultimate pro's, fair priced. read more

Just got off the phone, Im stuck in my garage and they cant come out until tomorrow...hmm. Wouldnt have been so bad, I'll just call another company, but the person who answered the phone was snotty. (Just reached Marin Door Pros. Super nice! Coming over within the hour to help me. As much as I'd love to kick back today, gotta go to work.) read more

I just had a service this morning from Northgate for my Novato home. The two guys came early, and were both courteous, helpful and pleasant. They even made a suggestion that saved me money over what I had originally asked for. I've used them for about 15 years now and each experience has been excellent. read more

Very professional. Provided a thorough estimate. The garage door was ready on time. Door was installed on agreed upon date. Installer was friendly, did the job, took away the old door and left the garage clean. I am glad to recommend Northgate and would use them again if I need a garage door. read more

It's time to replace our 20yr plus old garage doors, called around had three companies in the area came for a estimate and we ended up choose Northgate Garage. Kevin showed up on time and showed us some options we can go with and their price was very reasonable. Waited about 2 3 weeks for the parts to came in and Jimmy was the one who came to installed it. Very nice guy and very professional, did a beautiful job, he cleaned up afterwards and programmed our remotes as well. Overall a great experience with them! read more

I'm not sure why there are only two other reviews on here... There have got to be more than just three happy customers! Northgate Garage Doors was third out of three quotes I received and, although we were extremely anxious for a new door, we chose Northgate and it was well worth the wait! The two other companies (one being Sears and the other a different local company) weren't even true competition! Northgate really raises the bar in workmanship and service. It was also nice to be able to support the local economy! We love our new door and opener and definitely recommend this company! read more

Wonderful company! I had a great experience with them! They were professional, courteous, quick and efficient. Reasonable prices too! Highly recommend! read more
