Real Recommendations

Your home. Your goals.
A door that looks like it was designed with the house,
Not Placed on it.

Before we arrive we study your home's architecture, apply design expertise and current trends, and develop options specific to your home and goals. Then we walk you through them on-site with real-time pricing, using the Northview ShowRoom.

The Northview ShowRoom

See exactly what we see, priced in real time.

Most door companies hand you a catalog and ask what color you want. We bring a tablet to your driveway loaded with options built specifically for your home, complete with real renders and a firm price for each one. Here's what that actually looks like.

Your Home Design Brief

Walked through with you on-site, yours to keep

Following a brief walkthrough to assess your garage's condition and make detailed measurements of your opening, we begin with your Home Design Brief. This is an architectural read of your exterior and the garage door panel styles, colors, and window choices that genuinely fit it. We walk through it with you on the iPad before getting into options, so you understand why something was recommended, not just what it costs. You'll have a printed copy to keep.

Your Options, Priced Live

A real Good / Better / Best recommendation in the ShowRoom

After the Design Brief we show you three real options, each with a render on your home, an installed price, and the spec sheet behind it. This is the actual screen we walk through with you on-site.

Good, Better, and Best can each draw from a different manufacturer. We build recommendations to genuinely fit your home and budget rather than selling what we have in-stock or what makes us the most money. Here's a closer look at the spec detail behind each tier.

About this pricing: We start every visit by inspecting your garage and verifying measurements. From there, we can give you a firm installed price in real time for most configurations. Unusual opening sizes or work that requires a subcontractor (electrical, for example) may need a short follow-up before pricing is final. Either way, we confirm a firm number in writing before finalizing your order.

Other Featured Homes

Every recommendation starts the same way: your home's architecture, your goals, and a tailored set of options. A look at that process applied to a few more homes from our project files.
