Gatewood Fence & Gate in Indiana

Gatewood Fence & Gate in Indiana

Gatewood Fence & Gate brings honest gate repair to Indiana homeowners who are tired of hearing “replace the whole thing” when what they need is a weld, a realignment, or a motor that actually gets fixed instead of swapped out. Hal Gatewood has been at this since 2001, and his shop carries the Locally name because he publishes his address, answers his own phone, and puts his name on every invoice. Across Indiana, from rural farm entrances to suburban driveways, Hal repairs what other companies want to haul away. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, stamped in writing, and every call gets a live person, not a queue.

Why Indiana Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Hal Gatewood started this business in 2001 and never handed it off to a manager or a franchisee. His name is on the shop, his address is published, and if something goes wrong, you call the same number and he picks up. That matters in Indiana, where a lot of folks have already learned the hard way that a slick website and an 800 number don’t mean anybody’s coming back when the weld cracks.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t tucked into fine print. It’s stamped on every job, and it means one thing: if it’s not right, Hal comes back and makes it right. No runaround, no “we’ll send a different crew,” no pretending the problem is something new. He fixes gates in your driveway, with a welder on the truck, not a trailer to haul your gate to some shop you’ve never seen. That repair-first philosophy saves Indiana homeowners from the upsell cycle where every minor issue becomes a four-figure replacement.

His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and certified on nine major gate brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. So when your Viking operator throws a code or your LiftMaster arm starts grinding, Hal knows the machine, not just the brand name. And when you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day. Not a chatbot, not a call center in another time zone, not voicemail that promises a callback that never comes.

Hal’s pricing is upfront and stays put. There’s $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. No haggling, no “today only” pressure, no surprise at the door. The price on the phone is the price on the invoice. That’s the Locally standard, and Hal’s been living it for over 29 years.

Backed by the Locally Family

Gatewood Fence & Gate carries the Locally name because Hal Gatewood meets the same standard Ward Selby set back in 1997: a local address you can drive to, a license number you can look up, an owner’s name and face you can verify, and a phone number with a local area code that a real person answers. The L.O.C.A.L. code means Hal has roots here, shows up in the window he promised, hires and buys in the communities he serves, puts his own name on the work, and would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. When you hire Gatewood Fence & Gate in Indiana, you’re not getting a national subcontractor. You’re getting Hal, his cell number, and the oldest accountability mechanism there is: he’s going to run into you again on a Saturday.
