Gatewood Fence & Gate

Gatewood Fence & Gate

Gatewood Fence & Gate repairs gates that other companies want to replace. Hal Gatewood has been at it since 2001, welding on site, answering his own phone, and putting his name on every invoice. As part of the Locally family, he carries the same promise we have stood behind since 1997: the owner’s name is published, the address is real, the license is verifiable, and the price on the phone matches the price at your gate.

What Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Known For

Hal Gatewood fixes what others haul away. While plenty of outfits will tell you a sagging driveway gate or a seized automatic opener needs full replacement, Hal carries a welder in his truck and the patience to use it. He has been owner-operating Gatewood Fence & Gate since 2001, more than twenty-nine years now, and his name is still on the shop and on every estimate he writes. That matters to homeowners who have already learned the hard way that a slick website and a low phone quote do not mean much when the truck rolls up with out-of-state plates and the price somehow triples.

His 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing on every job, not tucked into fine print. One call brings him back. No runaround, no voicemail maze, no “we will have dispatch call you.” His phone is answered by a live person twenty-four hours a day, and often that person is Hal himself. His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to service nine major gate brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule.

Hal’s pricing is upfront and stays put. He offers $40 off any repair over $200, never charges a trip fee inside the county, provides free second opinions on any written estimate you bring him, and gives a permanent ten percent discount to seniors and veterans. These are standing offers. You do not have to haggle. The number he says when you describe your gate over the phone is the number on the invoice when he finishes.

He lives twenty minutes from most of his customers. You will see him again at the hardware store. Ask anyone on your street.

Part of the Locally Family

Gatewood Fence & Gate carries the Locally name because Hal answered yes to every question Ward Selby started asking back in 1997. Is your address published? Can a homeowner drive to it? Is your license number available before they call? Does a live person answer the phone, and is that person the same one who shows up? Locally was never a marketing package. It was a list of things you could verify in five minutes, created because too many homeowners had already opened their gate to a stranger who quoted one price on the phone and another at the door.

Our L.O.C.A.L. values code still governs every brand we stand behind. Local roots: Hal’s shop is here, not a call center three states away. On time: the window he gives you is the window, and he calls if it slips. Community first: he hires here, buys here, and sponsors the team here. Accountable: the owner answers the phone and puts his name on the work. Loyal: he would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. That is why the Locally family stands behind Gatewood Fence & Gate.
