My parents live in Los Feliz and they have this LiftMaster gate opener on their driveway gate. Been there for years, never really had issues. Then one day it starts making this loud clicking noise every time the gate moves. Not a quiet little tick either, I'm talking loud enough that my mom thought something was breaking.
I called around about gate opener repair and Jonah from Novak came out. He popped open the motor housing right there in front of us and pointed at the internal gear. Thing was completely chewed up. Like you could see the teeth were worn smooth in spots. He explained that it's a pretty common failure point on older LiftMasters, which made my parents feel a bit better about it.
Had the replacement gear with him, swapped it out, and the gate was back to running quiet. My dad stood there watching the whole thing and even he said it was a good job. Trust me, that man does not hand out compliments easily.

The entry system at our place in Silver Lake was honestly embarrassing. Old, outdated, and it would disconnect in the middle of conversations with visitors. Someone would buzz up, you'd start talking, and then just... silence. They'd have to buzz again. Sometimes twice. We finally decided to stop dealing with it and get proper intercom installation done.
Ugen from Novak came out to take a look. He suggested an Akuvox system, which I'd never heard of before. But he explained why it made sense for our setup. The big thing was it could work with the existing wiring we already had in the walls, so no tearing stuff open. Plus it came with video which our old system definitely did not have.
The actual installation was clean. Like really clean. No messy wires hanging out, the panel looked like it was always there. Whole thing was done in one visit. We've been using it for a while now and haven't had a single disconnect. Should have done this way sooner.

So the DoorBird intercom in our building in West Hollywood just stopped producing any sound one day. Like completely silent. People were pressing the buzzer downstairs and we had no idea anyone was even there. Found out later a few residents missed deliveries because of it. Not great.
We called around for intercom repair and ended up going with Novak. Kevin showed up and got right into it. Pulled the panel off the wall, started checking the wiring connections behind it. Found the problem pretty fast actually. The speaker element inside the unit was completely dead. Not a wiring issue, not a software thing, the physical speaker just gave out.
He had a replacement with him and swapped it in. But what I really appreciated was that he didn't just test it once and leave. He went floor by floor, had someone buzz from downstairs, and confirmed audio was coming through clearly in every single apartment. That level of thoroughness was unexpected. Solid work.

Ok so this had been driving me crazy for like a week. The sliding gate would start closing and then just... stop. Right in the middle. Every. Single. Time. Try again, same thing. I'm sitting in my car at 7am trying to get to work and the gate is just sitting there half open. Not ideal.
Anyway I looked up automatic gate repair in Hollywood and found Novak Doors And Gates Hollywood. Avi came out the next day which was great because I honestly expected to wait longer. He didn't rush through it either. Checked the opener, went through all the sensors one by one. Turns out one of the safety sensors was basically dying. It would work for a bit then cut out randomly, which is why the gate kept stopping mid-close.
He replaced the sensor right there, didn't need to order anything or come back. Then he ran the gate like six or seven times while we both just stood there watching it. Closed perfectly every time. That was a few weeks ago and we haven't had a single problem since. Pretty relieved honestly.

Novak doors & Gates did a great job replacing our drive way automatic gate here in Los Angeles, the crew was very knowledgeable and professional. The process was very easy from the beginning to the end of the installation. They also installed for us a new DoorBird intercom access system and was very patient on explaining us about how everything works. We are truly recommending working with them.

They arrived the same day we called, our electric gate got stuck and stopped sliding. Ben was very professional on the way, he explained to us why it happened and what needed to be done to fix it. The service was great, the problem was solved. Highly recommended if you need gate repair service this is the company you need to call

We’re in Woodland Hills and our swing gate wouldn’t stay closed and kept drifting open. The technician reinforced the post, adjusted the hinges, and installed a stronger latch. Now the gate shuts perfectly and even looks better than before. Pricing was clear and they showed up right on time.

Called about a very noisy sliding gate in Burbank. They replaced worn rollers, corrected the track alignment, and lubricated the hardware. The gate runs smoothly now and the opener isn’t struggling anymore.

We called Novak Doors and Gates Encino because our swing gate opener completely died. They diagnosed it quickly, replaced the motor, synced the remotes, and set the limits properly. The gate is much quieter now and works consistently every time.
