It was a little different project this time around. I contacted them as I needed some stainless steel uprights cut to size for my home gym, and they did that tremendously well. It was quick and effective. Then John helped me mount them (that wasnt planned) but same, they did that great and quick. I'm looking forward to working with them again in the future!! Keep up the great work and the great attitude! read more

Extremely honest! He will fix what needs to be fixed and Won't try to sell you what you don't need. Excellent service! 100% Recommend!! read more

My garage door wouldn't close, so I called John. He came the same day, and I really appreciate that. He didn't try to sell me a new garage door -- instead, he ordered the part and installed it. You don't find honest businessmen like him anymore. read more

APPRECIATED BEYOND!!! Helped us quickly with our garage door spring replacement. Reasonable in pricing, great customer service and speedy response (even on Sunday) for repair. Thank you John & RD&G. read more

Couldn't be happier with my gate/fence purchase. This company was quick to respond, gave a reasonable quote, adapted to what I wanted to do, and did the job quickly. And even at the end, I asked for a minor adjustment and they took care of it the next day. For sure, I'm referring my coworkers and friends to this place! read more

Outstanding service and quality from start to finish. As soon as I met John I felt comfortable and knew I was working with the right people. I truly appreciated that John recommended what made sense to automate our gate, vs extras we really didn't need. His sense of sincerity and a desire to actually help us really came through. Adding a gate to our steep driveway was a safety issue for our family as delivery trucks were driving up to our home very fast so this project was very important to us. The workmanship was professional and clean and also of note the price very reasonable, actually a couple thousand dollars less than any other quotes I received. Thank you to John and his team, I highly recommend this company! read more

My review of John and his business is long overdue; we have been using John for the last 7 years. John is the type of person that you wish you could do business with on every project -- he is reliable, honest, and takes pride in the quality of his work. He cares about his customers and will never try to sell you something you don't truly need. We have required work on our gate in a variety of situations, from urgent to routine, and John has always been consistently responsive in his communication and fair in his pricing. We so appreciate having John to rely on for our gate needs and look forward to continuing to do business with him. Thanks, John! read more

4.950 stars. An excellent business with great followthrough. Over the past few years, we have noticed that our driveway swing gate was starting to sag and would get caught in our driveway from time to time. We noticed that the top hinge was bending and needed it fixed. After researching multiple businesses, I contacted Republic Doors and Gates and discussed the issue with the owner John. He is extremely kind and knowledgeable, and we discussed multiple possible solutions for the sag, including replacing the hinges vs anchoring the top hinge to give the gate some lift. The decision was made after sending him pictures to keep our current hinges, but to anchor the hinge at the top of the gate. They also replace gate keypads and can install a wifi connected system to your gate if needed, which we don't at this time. John and his crew are busy, but we set an appointment for them to come by two weeks later. I confirmed the appointment the day before and Mike and Hector his welders showed up on time ready to work at the appointed time and were polite and respectful and professional. They straightened the hinge on our stucco gate with a small anchor and all appeared to be well. Unfortunately, a couple of days later, I noticed that the anchor that was placed was too small and the hinge was once again sagging. I texted John with these details over the weekend and he promptly replied that it could be fixed and that he would schedule something with me when he returned to work on Monday. To my surprise they had an opening for Tuesday a few days after install and installed a longer horizontal anchor which should hold for many years to come. I was not charged for the new anchor, which I thought was very fair and honest of him to do. I 100% recommend this business for their expertise and consummate professionalism. Many times, after a business has your money they do not respond or care. John stands behind his work and was very prompt in coming up with a solution after the first solution didn't work. We are looking forward to enjoying our gate for many years to come. I expect that we will need maintenance from time to time or a replacement of parts for the motor etc and John will be on speed dial when the time comes. read more

I don't even know how to review this company. Three stars for three failed gates? We agreed to three new safety gates to match our existing deck fence. What we currently have is powder coat wrought iron black fencing. What he "custom made" for us was black gates that were scratched and chipped everywhere. As I was looking at what his worker brought in, he told me, "oh don't worry, we'll touch it up with paint..that happens in the truck during transport". Two questions; 1) Why do you have zero respect for your client or your product? A responsible company would wrap the "custom" and paid for product in order to protect and deliver it in pristine condition. 2) We agreed to match the powder coat fencing. Powder coating means the gate never chips or scratches, so are you lying on purpose or because you don't know your own product? Before my head exploded, I stepped away to call my spouse and discuss what we wanted to do moving forward. We have a toddler that has figured out how to open the door and go outside, as well as how to get through the baby gates, so this is something that needs to be done ASAP for the stairs. We agreed to move forward and install the chipped incorrect gates now for safety purposes while we waited for the correct ones to be made and installed. I came back to speak with him and tell him what we decided and he was gone, his worker was gone, and his truck was gone. I messaged him apologizing and trying to understand where he was and he wrote back telling me he had gone to figure out how long the powder coat would take. Ok great. As I wait to hear from him, he sends our deposit back via Venmo and texts me apologizing and saying he will no longer do the job for us. One star for utterly failing. Two bonus stars for apologizing for it? We've waited almost an entire month for him to get these gates put in just to have him show up with the wrong product and then refuse to do the real work. Now we have to start over and probably wait another chunk of time with a new company who can get it done right. For me, the most frustrating part is that he has in his possession gates that could keep our child safe, but he refuses to do what's right. Not sure what type of person makes business decisions out of spite knowing it's putting a baby at risk. read more

Don't bother searching Google for door or gate repair. If you are reading this review you have found the ONLY repair company you will ever need !!! John was polite and informative on the phone. He made time to come see my gate issues very soon after we spoke, as he knew it was a rental property and needed quick resolve. Instead of trying to sell me a new system (as the other 2 guys did) he told me a quick and easy solution for the problem. He spent ample time and was very informative... and didn't charge me ! We were in between Christmas and New Years and his staff was enjoying the Holidays that week , so no one could perform the work that week. I will ONLY use John and his staff from this point forward ! Thanks John ,for your kindness and HONESTY !!! read more

John was able to help us out in a huge bind. Our garage got stuck half opened Monday night. He was able to come over Tuesday morning, gave us a quote right away and got the parts. Was over on Wednesday to do the fix and was extremely quick with the process. Our garage door was a mess but John and his crew fixed it right up and gave some pointers to help with general maintenance. I'll definitely be calling John for future projects! read more

John came out right away (even on a Sunday when most businesses are closed for garage door repairs). Great customer service, and went above and beyond to ensure I knew any and all preventative measures to take to ensure i get as many years out of my garage door as possible. I don't feel this company wants to take advantage pf the situation by selling various unnecessary products, etc, but instead just wants satisfied and returning customers. The pricing was better than some other companies out there too. Thanks again John for the great work! read more

Let me start by stating "just look at my awesome door!" John delivered on what he promised and some; the photos will explain. So previously I had a guy, which I will not name, replace my worn down wooden gate. It was shady and the guy basically ran with my money and refused to make the proper corrections. Well I knew I couldn't live with the work of the previous guy and decided I would get another estimate to completely replace the shady gate. Called John, he and his crew stopped by to access my gate, we communicated what I was looking to do and what I had gone through. He was focused on making us happy by going over our options ie: size of the materials he would be using, our color, direction of the door swing (something I didn't even consider), just more options than what I could have ever thought of. That let me know he knew what he was doing unlike the last guy. Showed up on the scheduled day of install as promised, the crew went straight to work, performed the welding on spot, got rid of the old materials and left us with something more than what we imagined getting! The guys also provided me with a less expensive solution to replacing two of our weakened fence post which made our fence even more sturdy! This fence may be a small project but it's a huge improvement to our home. John is a down to earth guy, no pressure, do anything to enforce his willingness to make you feel comfortable with your experience and investment. Will DO work with again!!! read more

In addition to providing top notch gate service, you can also buy hard to find parts from Republic Doors and Gates. When the master link on my slide gate chain broke in two from a decade of rust, Republic Doors and Gates not only had the part I needed in stock, but John also made himself available that same evening to sell me the new part and take the time to explain how to install it like a pro. John of Republic Doors and Gates went above and beyond in his exceptional level of professional service and courtesy. Republic Doors and Gates has earned a repeat customer. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of door and gate service or parts. 5 stars! read more

John was amazing! Called for repair of our garage door as the springs broke and our car was trapped inside. Called Monday afternoon and John was here early Tuesday morning and within an hour our car was free and the work was done completely and efficiently. Even better, was the three-year spring warranty and the 6-month service warranty that was included in the price he gave very fair price I thought it would be a lot more which I was glad it wasn't. Being renters and not owning a home like we did in NH I value honest hardworking contractors that know what they address doing and don't feel the need to rob you because you doubt own the property. Highly recommend RD&G! read more

Unresponsive, never sent quote or responded. We discussed some work, getting a quote, and sending examples of previous work. I was completely ghosted by this business, still haven't gotten a quote or even a follow up phone call to at least tell me they were too busy. read more

First off if I can give a 10/10 stars I would ! My garage door was making a funny noise but little did I know that a part in the my garage doors motor was busted and it was making very unpleasant noise. John came out took a look and told me exactly what needed to be replaced, gave a more than a fair price to replace the part and got the job done within 30 mins. Unfortunately but thankfully my spring to my garage door had snapped (not his fault at all) but when I called back he came back to assess the problem and same day had fixed my garage door spring! 10/10 customer service, 10/10 fair pricing, 10/10 quality 10/10 Fast response! Couldn't be happier to get my garage door fixed in a short period of time. I would recommend to anyone that needs their garage door looked at! read more

John Hernandez is an outstanding businessman focused on service. He installed a beautiful gate for our home 5 years ago. We had a minor hitch with the gate, he had an immediate response and gave us advice on how to fix the problem. He won my business for any future door/gate project. great work and customer care. Thanks John read more

John Hernandez and Crew at Republic Doors and Gates did an outstanding job for me on my driveway and pedestrian gates! He is easy to work with, very efficient and knowledgeable. He came out discussed design options and provided ideas for this custom gate fabrication and installation. His follow up and crew are excellent and make it look so easy - when it isn't. Republic's price was competitive and coupled with John's responsiveness and execution - you will be very happy selecting Republic & Team for your needs. I now have a secure, great looking gate and have received multiple compliments from neighbors. Thank you John! ~ Peter G. / San Diego read more

I had my gate installed last year, looks nice and tidy like the other photos on here. Seemed to start sagging which wasn't surprising as the gate is massive but I emailed them and they were responsive to fix the gate within a couple of days. The man came down and installed a horizontal anchor free of charge to make sure it wouldn't sag again. Would recommend as they support any issues that come up post installation. read more

I had a great experience with John and Republic Doors and Gates from start to finish. I met with John and we discussed my vision for the gate/fence. He was extremely patient and spent about an hour going over specific details. Took about 2 1/2 weeks for the gate/fence to be constructed, an extra week because I went with the powder coat paint. I met with several other gate/door companies and John was the one I felt cared the most about the project and quality of work. When the gate and fence were installed I knew I made the right choice. The wood was exactly the right tone we were looking for. Take look at the pics and judge for yourself. read more

Need a new Gate? Contact John Hernandez at Republic Doors & Gates We were looking for someone to fabricate and install a new gate to replace our old worn out gate. We wanted a gate with a metal frame and wooden panels. Our biggest fear was getting over-charged by a contractor looking to take advantage of us or that give us high quotes us because the didn't want to take the smaller job. Thankfully, we found John's company, Republic Doors and Gates. John contacted me the same day I requested a quote. I emailed him pictures of our gate and provided dimensions of the space and description of the project. He instantly knew exactly what we were looking for and sent photos as examples of his previous work. Needless to say, he was not afraid to take on our small project and on top of that his quote was the lowest by far. He told us he could start that next week and complete within a week. Anyone else would have taken a lot longer. John's team was on task and ahead of schedule. They showed up to take measurements right away, fabricated the gate offsite the day after, and completed install on a third day of work. AMAZING! The quality of work was awesome, the speed of work was awesome and they cleaned up and hauled away the old gate. We couldn't be happier or more impressed with the end result. He does all size projects and can surely help you with your new gate. If you live in or around Normal Heights, North Park, Kensington, or University Heights start with Republic and look no further- lowest priced, fastest work, high-quality! read more

I definitely would do business with him again! read more

Our existing iron gates were deteriorating badly due to corrosion. I shopped around for a while with different companies and we liked Republic's gates the most. John was very professional and courteous when he came to do measurements. No BS. Removal and installation only took a few days. John's crew stayed until we were satisfied. They even came back a few weeks later to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend Republic Doors and Gates. read more

Beware of this company!! John doesn't know what he's doing . I called him in December to fix a broken gate,after 3 months it broke again he came down here and said he fixed it . April comes ,called him again for the same problem and just now after a week the gate broke again. He said the motor is perfectly fine it's the remote that has a problem but I think he is the one who has the problem. He keep on insisting to give him a good review on Yelp before he fix the gate for the 4th time. Don't believe all the good reviews he's getting. Stay away.....far, far away read more

In April of 2015 we had Republic Doors and Gates install three exterior gates at our house. Five months later we noticed that two of the gates would not stay closed. We notified John and his crew and they came out and widen one of the holes where the latch bolt connects to the metal post. Later we had the same issue and an extra face plate was installed to decrease the gap between the gates. The problem persisted and we asked for a long term solution and we were told "this is all we can do." On further inspection we found indoor hinges were screwed onto the metal posts and they have already started to sag. In the end we paid a lot of money for two gates that do not serve their main function of staying closed.We do not recommend this company. read more

John did a great job fabricating and installing a metal pedestrian gate for our patio. He was patient with us when we were deciding on a design, and was transparent about the price.

There's a reason he's in high demand! read more

My wife and I called John on Aug 26th and spoke with him at length about wanting to get an estimate to fix our receivers on our electric gates at our complex in East Village. We scheduled an appt for Aug 4th between 9 & 9:30 AM. We called to confirm at 8 AM and left a v/m. He texted right back and told us he couldnt make it but possibly could later in the day. He said he would call us later in the day. Well he never did. We had 3 residents here wanting to meet John and ask questions about our gates. Not a good business practice to stand people up. Thank God I called to confirm 1st. If you cant make one of your previously scheduled appts YOU should call your appts ahead of time and cancel. read more

We had Republic Doors (John and his crew) do a large job for our Pacific Beach home 5 months ago. We had one of SD's biggest fence companies install the exterior gates when we moved in 10 years prior, and now they were falling apart, and hadn't worked correctly for years. We had a large back gate that we added bi-fold sliders, several key-coded entry gates, some repairs to iron railings that had worn out on our back deck, and a custom ironwork & wood railing to prevent our dogs from escaping as well as increase the height of our front stucco half wall. It was complicated custom job, and we wanted to make sure it blended with our home's contemporary design. I had called several top rated Yelp/ Angies List fence contractors out prior, and was not impressed. They either wouldn't respond when they heard what I wanted, or their bid was WAY too high. John gave a fair price, and the work turned out better than we had hoped. It's nice to have gates and fences that work and look beautiful. John worked around our crazy summer schedule and was a pleasure to deal with. I was very impressed by his ability to come up with design suggestions for our custom job, and his ability to communicate his ideas to those of us who aren't design oriented. No one else I had spoken to could come up with a solution to our problems at a reasonable price. In addition he didn't try to upsell us with expensive woods, or items we didn't need. Me and my wife couldn't be happier. Class act... Great Work. Tons of compliments from our friends and neighbors I'll get some pictures up soon..... read more

John and his team are busy and that's because they offer a solid product at a solid price. It took him a few months to be able to make it out to our house in North Park but it was worth the wait. We now have a very sturdy front entry way gate and a drive way gate. He also put up new privacy lattice between us and our neighbors which looks modern and with his metal bases can be easily maintained over the years by adding new wood. I would highly encourage you to reach out to John and chat with him to see if he's right for your project. Thanks for working with us John, you give contractors a good name. read more

My garage door spring snapped and based on their reviews, I contacted Republic. I spoke to the owner, John, and told me he would try to come, but warned me of his already booked afternoon. Despite his busy schedule John came out to fix my garage. I was extremely thankful for Republic to accommodate me, last minute. Once here, John and his partner replaced the garage spring within 30-45 and was very thorough. He gave me excellent advice about the upkeep of my garage and didn't try to sell me or convince me of spending too much money. Overall the experience with John and his company Republic was a great one and I strongly suggest you give them a call. I will definitely call them back when I need them. read more

We highly recommended John at Republic Doors and Gates! read more
