Gatewood Fence & Gate in New York

Gatewood Fence & Gate brings old-school gate repair to New York homeowners who are tired of hearing “replace the whole thing” when a weld and some know-how would do the job. Hal Gatewood has been at this since 2001, and his 90-Day Done Right Promise comes with every repair across New York. As part of the Locally family, Gatewood carries the same standard that started it all back in 1997: a published address, a license you can look up, and a live person on the phone. For New Yorkers, that means no call centers, no bait-and-switch pricing, and a gate technician who answers to his own name.

Why New York Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop and on every invoice, and he has kept it that way for over 29 years. That’s not a branding choice. It’s how you know who you’re dealing with before you open your gate to them. New York homeowners in small towns and rural counties have learned the hard way that a slick website and an 800 number don’t mean much when the truck rolls up with out-of-state plates and a price that somehow tripled since the phone call. Hal runs the other direction from all of that.

His repair-first philosophy means he welds on-site instead of hauling your gate away or swapping parts that never needed swapping. The $40 off any repair over $200, the free second opinion on any written estimate, the standing 10% discount for seniors and veterans, the no trip charge inside the county, none of it requires you to haggle or ask twice. It’s already there. His technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they’re certified across nine major gate brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. When something isn’t right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings him back. No runaround, no voicemail maze, no “we’ll have dispatch call you.” Hal answers the phone himself, 24 hours a day, because he knows that a gate hanging crooked at 10 PM is not a tomorrow problem for a lot of folks.

The L.O.C.A.L. values code matters here too. Local roots: Hal’s address is published, not hidden behind a PO box in another state. On time: the window he gives you is the window, and he calls if it slips. Community first: he hires here, buys here, and you will see him again at the hardware store. Accountable: his name is on the work. Loyal: he’d rather fix your gate three times over twenty years than sell you one you don’t need. That is the difference between a guy passing through and someone whose reputation lives on your street.

Backed by the Locally Family

Every Gatewood Fence & Gate job in New York carries the Locally family guarantee: the owner’s name, a local address you can drive to, and a license number you can look up before you ever pick up the phone. The person who answers is the person who shows up, and the price on the phone is the price on the invoice. No exceptions. Ward Selby started Locally in 1997 because he was tired of neighbors getting burned by outfits that vanished the moment something went wrong. The name “Locally” comes from the only question those neighbors actually asked: “Are you actually local?” Gatewood Fence & Gate answers that question with a published address, a live voice on the line, and Hal Gatewood’s own name on every job. That is the standard. That is the promise.
