Gatewood Fence & Gate in Florida

Gatewood Fence & Gate in Florida

Gatewood Fence & Gate repairs gates across Florida with a simple rule: fix what’s there before you talk about replacing it. Hal Gatewood has been at this since 2001, welding on site, answering his own phone, and putting his name on every invoice. When you call, you get Hal or someone who can reach him directly, not a queue in another time zone. As part of the Locally family, Gatewood carries the same guarantee that has defined this network since 1997: the owner’s name is published, the address is real, the license is verifiable, and the price you hear is the price you pay. For Florida homeowners tired of trucks with out-of-state plates and quotes that triple at the door, that transparency is the point.

Why Florida Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Florida’s climate is hard on gates. The salt air along the coast, the afternoon thunderstorms that flood control boxes, the humidity that swells wood and corrodes hinges - we’ve seen it all, and we’ve fixed it without hauling the gate to a shop or selling a homeowner a whole new system they didn’t need.

Hal Gatewood started this business in 2001 and never stopped being the one who shows up. His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to service nine major brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. But the real difference is the welding rig on the truck and the willingness to use it. A sagging frame, a broken hinge, a gate that drags - Hal fixes those in your driveway. Other companies want to sell you a replacement. He’d rather make the repair and see you again in ten years.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every job, not hidden in fine print. If something isn’t right, one call brings him back. No runaround, no “we’ll send a ticket to the home office.” And the pricing is upfront: $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already gotten, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Those aren’t introductory specials. They’re standing offers because haggling is not how neighbors treat each other.

Calls get answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a chatbot, not a voicemail tree, not someone reading from a script in a call center who has never driven past your neighborhood. Hal’s address is published. His name is on the shop. Ask anyone on your street - he’s probably fixed their gate too.

Backed by the Locally Family

Locally started in 1997 because a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby got tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state truck, phone quote that meant nothing, number disconnected when something went wrong. He wrote down what a homeowner could actually verify in five minutes - local phone number, published address, owner’s name, license number - and made that the whole standard. Gatewood Fence & Gate meets that standard. Hal’s name is on the shop, his address is public, and he’s been there since 2001. The L.O.C.A.L. values code still applies: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. Every Gatewood job in Florida carries the Locally guarantee: the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price on the phone is the price on the invoice.
