Customer Reviews
Eric Heim
My garage door malfunctioned and was unable to open or close. Having relied on Northgate Garage Doors for many years, I contacted them for assistance. Their service technician, Arden, responded the same day and promptly determined that my 18-year-old garage door opener was beyond repair. While onsite, he was able to accommodate my request to install a new Wi-Fi enabled garage door opener. Throughout the service process, Arden kept me fully informed of the work being performed, and the service was completed within the timeframe promised. He consistently demonstrated professionalism, technical expertise, and a strong commitment to customer service. Arden clearly exemplifies the long-standing tradition of excellence at Northgate Garage Doors. I am pleased to offer the company my highest recommendation.
Gil Zeimer
Five stars all the way -- from the initial visit to provide an estimate, to Tim's follow-up to answer questions about colors, to updates with an installation date, and to Dale and Lucas completing the job in a few hours -- too bad I can't give Northgate Garage Doors 10 stars! Thanks again, Gil
