Gatewood Fence & Gate in Nebraska
Gatewood Fence & Gate brings honest gate repair to homeowners across Nebraska, and we’re proud to have them in the Locally family. Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001 - twenty-nine years of showing up himself, welding on site, and standing behind every repair with his 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped in writing. When you call, a live person answers, day or night. No voicemail, no call center, no runaround. That’s the Gatewood way, and it’s the Locally way too.
Why Nebraska Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Nebraska’s weather doesn’t play nice with gates. Summer heat warps aluminum track. Freeze-thaw cycles in January split welds that held fine in October. Hal has seen it all, and he fixes what other companies want to replace. He’ll weld a broken hinge in your driveway rather than haul the whole gate off and sell you a new one. That’s the repair-first philosophy that built his name.
Hal’s name is on the shop and on every invoice. His address is published. His license number is there for anyone to look up. When he tells you a price on the phone, that’s the price on the invoice - no bait-and-switch, no “we found something else once we got here.” He’s been burned by that himself, and he won’t do it to you.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise means what it says. If something isn’t right, one call brings Hal back. No fine print, no argument. He lives twenty minutes from the communities he serves, and he knows he’ll see you again at the hardware store or the ball game. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
His technicians are background-checked and uniformed, certified to service nine major brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. But the person who answers your call at 2 a.m. when the gate won’t close and the livestock is loose? That’s a live person, not a recording, and they’ll get Hal or one of his crew moving.
Hal offers standing deals that don’t require haggling: $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 coupon codes, no expiration dates, no games.
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 tripled at the door, number disconnected by Monday. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes - local area code, published address, owner’s name, license number - and any company willing to publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard.
Gatewood Fence & Gate meets that standard. Hal publishes his name, his address, his license. The person who answers is the person who shows up. The price on the phone is the price on the invoice. That’s the Locally Promise, and it applies to every gate repair across Nebraska.
We named ourselves Locally for the only question our customers actually ask. Not a place, not a founder, not a virtue - the word you say out loud when you’re deciding whether to trust someone with your home. In Nebraska, that answer is Gatewood Fence & Gate.
