What They Say About Us
Gil's Garage (GG) is the best, handsdown! I had great experiences with them on both my garage and driveway gate projects. Ara, a former software engineer and GG's estimator, was first-class: clear, responsive, personable, flexible, and easy to work with. I know firsthand that he goes out of his way to insure the customer's satisfaction. Antonio did great work installing the new garage door and mechanism. I know from talking with him that he is devoted to doing a high-quality job.I liked the job they did on my garage door so much that I went with Gil's Garage when replacing the motor on my driveway gate. GG gives competitive estimates and both jobs were scheduled to meet my needs. Ray and Brian did the gate project, including installing a solid concrete base on which the new gate motor sits. The end results were both perfect. I am 100% satisfied with Gil's Garage and strongly recommend this firm to anyone who wants top-quality work at a reasonable price done on their garage or gate. Brian gave me a good tutorial on how to program and use the remotes. As a former college teacher, I would give Gil's Garage solid A+ for their exceptional work products!

The end result exceeds our expectations.nt gate. Very flexible and easy to work with . Would definitely use this company again .
