Gatewood Fence & Gate in North Carolina

Gatewood Fence & Gate in North Carolina

Gatewood Fence & Gate repairs gates across North Carolina with a welding rig in the truck and Hal Gatewood’s name on every invoice. Since 2001, Hal has been the owner who answers the phone himself, shows up in the window he promised, and fixes what other companies want to replace. As part of the Locally family, every North Carolina job carries our guarantee: the price on the phone matches the price on the invoice, the address is published for anyone to verify, and the owner puts his name on the work.

Why North Carolina Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Hal Gatewood started this shop in 2001 and has kept it owner-operated for over 29 years. His address is published, his license number is on every estimate, and he lives in the community he serves. That matters in North Carolina’s small towns and rural counties, where a gate that won’t open at 6 a.m. before work is not an inconvenience, it’s the day ruined.

Other companies haul your gate off or swap parts that don’t need swapping. Hal welds on site. He’ll repair a bent track, rehang a sagging leaf, or troubleshoot a LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, or Mighty Mule opener before he talks replacement. His 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing on every job, not buried in fine print. One call brings him back. No runaround.

Calls get answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail, not a call center three states away, not a chatbot. Hal’s background-checked, uniformed technicians show up when he says they will, and he calls if the window slips. He offers $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. No haggling required.

North Carolina homeowners between 50 and 70 have heard the story before: a national outfit quotes one price on the phone, charges another at the door, and the number stops working when something goes wrong. Hal’s name is on the shop. You’ll see him again at the hardware store. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.

Backed by the Locally Family

Locally started in 1997 when Ward Selby, a retired county extension agent, got tired of hearing neighbors burned by out-of-state trucks and disconnected phone numbers. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes: a local phone number a person answers, an address you can drive to, the owner’s name and face, and a license number you can look up. Any company that publishes all four carries our name.

Gatewood Fence & Gate meets that standard on every North Carolina job. The L.O.C.A.L. values code is how we work: Local roots with an address in this county, not a call center elsewhere. On time, meaning the window is the window. Community first, hiring here and buying here. Accountable, with the owner answering the phone and putting his name on the work. Loyal, keeping you for twenty years rather than chasing one big ticket. That’s the Locally family promise, and it’s how Hal Gatewood has built his name since 2001.
