About us
Built on showing up
Family-run, Columbus-based and still answering our own phone.
Our story
From carpenter to contractor
Dan Ruiz spent ten years framing houses and finishing kitchens for other builders. He kept seeing the same problems: missed start dates, vague quotes and nobody returning calls.
In 2014 he started Northgate with one truck and one promise: do what we say, when we say it. Eleven years and 400+ projects later, it's still the whole business plan.
