Gatewood Fence & Gate in West Virginia

Gatewood Fence & Gate repairs gates across West Virginia with a welding rig in the truck and a promise that the person who answers your call is the person who shows up. Hal Gatewood has been at this since 2001, and his shop carries his name, his address, and his cell number. When you call, you get a live person around the clock - no voicemail, no queue, no call center three states away. As part of the Locally family, every Gatewood job comes with our trademarked guarantee: the owner’s name is published, the address is real, the license is verifiable, and the price on the phone matches the price on the invoice.

Why West Virginia Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Hal Gatewood fixes what other companies want to replace. He’s got a welder right there in the driveway, which means your gate doesn’t get hauled off for a swap when a honest repair would do. That repair-first philosophy has kept him owner-operated since 2001, and it’s why he puts his 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job - not buried in fine print, but stamped clear: one call brings him back, no runaround.

He’s certified to service nine major gate brands - LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule - so the equipment on your property isn’t a mystery to him. His technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and Hal’s name is on the shop and on every invoice. You can look him up, drive to his address, and ask anyone who’s used him. That’s the point.

His pricing is upfront and doesn’t require haggling: $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, a free second opinion on any written estimate you bring him, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. The price he says is the price you pay. For homeowners in West Virginia who’ve already been burned by an out-of-state outfit that quoted one thing on the phone and charged another at the door, that straight dealing matters more than a lowball bid.

Hal lives twenty minutes from the communities he serves. You’ll see him again at the hardware store. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.

Backed by the Locally Family

Locally started in 1997 when a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby got tired of hearing the same story: a truck with out-of-state plates, a quote that tripled at the door, and a number that stopped working when 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 - and any company willing to publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard.

The L.O.C.A.L. values code still governs every company in the family: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. Gatewood Fence & Gate lives it. Hal’s name is on the shop, his address is published, and he’s been there since 2001. When you hire him, you hire a neighbor who’d rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. That’s what Locally means - it’s the answer to the only question you actually ask when you’re deciding whether to trust someone with your gate.
