Why Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate

Why University Park Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate for Gate Repair

Hal Gatewood puts his name on the shop, and the shop is down the road from you. That’s the short version. The longer version is that University Park homeowners keep calling us because we repair gates other companies want to replace, we show up when we say we will, and the price we quote on the phone is the price on the invoice. We’ve been doing this work since 2001, and in a neighborhood where word travels fast, that kind of consistency is what keeps our phone ringing.

6 Reasons We’re University Park’s Top Gate Repair Company

1. Twenty-five years of gate work, not a side hustle

Hal has been building and repairing gates since 2001, and this branch serves University Park, Dallas, Highland Park and the surrounding communities full time. A sagging gate usually fails in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that’s the kind of thing you learn by doing thousands of repairs, not by reading a manual. When we look at your gate, we’re seeing the same failures we’ve fixed down the street, last month, for someone you probably know.

2. A reputation built one driveway at a time

We don’t run ads telling you we’re great. Our neighbors do that for us. University Park is the kind of place where you ask a friend who fixed their gate, and that friend says our name. A strong local reputation isn’t something you buy; it’s something you earn by showing up, doing the work right, and being reachable when something goes wrong.

3. Licensed, insured, and accountable

Every pro working under the Gatewood name is required to hold the license and insurance the state of Texas requires, and we carry that standard on every job. More importantly, our accountability is personal: Hal answers his own phone and puts his name on the work. When the name on the truck matches the name on the invoice, the incentive to do it right isn’t a policy; it’s a reputation.

4. Brand expertise that shows up every day

We service and repair the brands University Park homes actually have: LiftMaster operators on driveway gates, FAAC hydraulic arms on estate entrances, BFT control boards, plus Linear, Viking and Ghost Controls hardware we see regularly. That matters because a Viking board doesn’t fail the way a BFT board does, and a Ghost Controls system has quirks you only know if you’ve worked on enough of them. We have.

5. Transparent pricing, quoted before we start

We tell you the price before any work begins, and that’s the price you pay unless you approve a change in writing. No surprises on the invoice, no “we found something else” upcharge delivered at the door. We’d rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket, and pricing that’s honest up front is how that works.

6. Ninety days in writing, and one call brings us back

Every fence and gate job comes with our guarantee: ninety days in writing, and if something isn’t right, one call brings Hal back. That’s not a marketing slogan; it’s the promise stamped on the work. We can offer it because we’ve been doing this since 2001 and we know what holds up in North Texas weather and what doesn’t.

Our Promise to You

Here’s how this works, plainly. You call, a live coordinator answers, and we connect you with the local team that knows University Park streets. You get a written estimate before any work starts, and the number on that estimate is the number you pay. We show up in the window we give you, and if that window slips, we call and tell you. And when the work is done, you get the Gatewood guarantee: ninety days in writing. If something fails or doesn’t feel right, you call, and Hal comes back. He publishes his name, his address and his license because the name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road. That’s the whole promise.
