Gatewood Fence & Gate in Arizona

Gatewood Fence & Gate in Arizona

Gatewood Fence & Gate has been fixing gates across Arizona since 2001, long before most of the national outfits started buying up local phone numbers. Hal Gatewood runs it himself, still answers the phone, and still shows up in the truck with his name on the door. Whether you’ve got a sagging ranch gate outside Prescott, an automatic opener that quit on you in the Phoenix suburbs, or a weld that gave way on a property line fence outside Tucson, Hal repairs what others want to replace. As part of the Locally family, every Gatewood job comes with the promise that the price on the phone matches the price on the invoice, the owner puts his name on the work, and you’ll see him again in town if anything needs adjusting.

Why Arizona Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Hal started this business in 2001 because he was tired of watching homeowners get talked into replacing entire gate systems when a hinge, a weld, or a control board was all that failed. That repair-first philosophy still runs the shop. He carries a welder on the truck and fixes your gate in your driveway rather than hauling it off to some warehouse or swapping parts that never needed swapping. His 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped right on every invoice, not buried in fine print where you need a magnifying glass. One call brings him back. No runaround, no “we’ll send someone else out next week.”

The phone rings through to a live person, twenty-four hours a day. Not a voicemail tree, not a call center in another time zone, not a chatbot that asks if you want to talk about fencing when you’re standing there with a gate that won’t latch. Hal’s name is on the shop, his address is published, and his license number is there for anyone to look up. He’s background-checked his own technicians, puts them in uniforms, and certifies them on nine major gate brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. So when he says he can service your opener, he means it.

Hal knows his customers because he lives near them. He’s the guy you’ll run into at the hardware store on Saturday, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is. He doesn’t do bait-and-switch pricing. He offers $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already got in hand, and a standing 10% discount for seniors and veterans. No haggling required. The price he says is the price you pay.

Backed by the Locally Family

Locally started in 1997 when Ward Selby, a retired county extension agent, got tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state trucks, phone quotes that tripled at the door, and numbers that stopped working the minute something went wrong. 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 willing to publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard.

The Locally family lives by a code we call L.O.C.A.L.: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. Gatewood Fence & Gate fits every letter. Hal’s roots in Arizona go back to 2001. He shows up in the window he gives you. He hires here, buys here, and puts his own name on every job. And he’d rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket today. That’s why the Locally family stands behind him.
