Gatewood Fence & Gate in Kentucky

Gatewood Fence & Gate in Kentucky

Gatewood Fence & Gate has been fixing gates across Kentucky since 2001, long before most of the national outfits started buying ads here. Hal Gatewood runs it himself, answers his own phone day or night, and welds right there in your driveway instead of telling you the whole gate needs hauling off. As part of the Locally family, every Kentucky job carries the same promise: the owner’s name is published, his address is real, his license is verifiable, and the price he gives you is the price on the invoice. No dispatch queue, no chatbot, no out-of-state call center pretending to be your neighbor.

Why Kentucky Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Hal started this in 2001 because he saw the same thing Ward Selby saw four years earlier - good people getting quoted one price on the phone and handed another at the door, then finding out the “local” number rings somewhere in Arizona. Hal put his own name on the shop and his own address in the book. Twenty-nine years later, he’s still the one you talk to.

The difference shows up in how he actually works. Where other companies want to sell you a whole new gate, Hal fixes what’s there. He carries a welder on the truck and repairs hinges, frames, and operators on site. He’s certified on nine major brands - LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule - so your existing equipment doesn’t get condemned just because someone doesn’t know how to service it. Every repair over $200 comes with $40 off, no trip charge inside the county, and a free second opinion if you’ve got another company’s written estimate. Seniors and veterans get 10% off, always, no haggling required.

His 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job in plain language, not hidden in fine print. If something isn’t right, one call brings him back. No runaround, no “we’ll send the next available technician.” Hal’s background-checked, uniformed crew shows up when he said they would, and if the window slips, he calls himself. That’s the “On time” in our L.O.C.A.L. values code, and it’s personal for him because he lives twenty minutes from most of his customers. Ask anyone on your street - he’s probably fixed their gate too.

The phone gets answered by a live person around the clock. Not voicemail, not a menu, not a kid in a cubicle reading a script. Hal or someone who actually works with him picks up, because “Accountable” means something when the owner puts his name on every invoice and knows he’ll see you again at the hardware store.

Backed by the Locally Family

Gatewood Fence & Gate carries the Locally name because Hal answered yes to every question Ward Selby wrote down in 1997. Local roots - he’s here, not three states away. Community first - he hires here, buys here, and sponsors the team here. Loyal - he’d rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. When you call Gatewood in Kentucky, you’re getting an owner-operator who publishes his name, his address, and his license before you ever pick up the phone. The Locally family doesn’t add companies to our list. We verify them, stand behind them, and make sure every Kentucky homeowner can answer “are you actually local?” before they call, not after they’ve been burned.
