Why Everman Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
A gate company that shows up is the bare minimum. People in Everman call us because we do the job right the first time, and because Hal gives you his word and his cell number, both of which mean something here. Our home base serves this whole side of Tarrant County, and we know the streets around Enon Avenue, the neighborhoods off W. Enon Place, and the homes over near J.R. Holmes Park. We’re not a national outfit sending a different guy in a different truck every month. You’ll see the same face, and that face belongs to someone who will stand behind the work.
We’ve built our reputation in working-class Texas towns like this one, where a gate isn’t a decoration. It keeps the mower behind the house, the dog in the yard, and the trailer locked up. People trust us because we say what we’ll do, write it down, and then do it. Hal’s 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t buried in fine print. It’s stamped on the invoice: if it’s not fixed right, one call brings him back, no runaround, no second invoice.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Everman
Gate Repair
Sagging gates, dragging corners, stuck wheels, broken hinges, welded-shut latch posts. Most of what we see in Everman can be fixed without replacing the gate, and that’s where we start. Hal will repair the panel in place, often with on-site welding, rather than hauling your gate to a shop across town. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Everman.
Gate Installation
When a gate is truly past saving, or when you need a second gate across a back drive, we measure, quote, and build it for the way you actually use your property. No sales pitch, no pressure to upgrade to something you don’t need. Hal will write you a price and it won’t change before the work starts. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Everman.
Gate Motor & Opener
The big seller in Everman is a double gate on a cheap 1/2 HP opener, and Hal has been fixing the fallout from that decision for years. If your motor hums but won’t move, trips its overload, or opens halfway and quits, we’ll diagnose it honestly. Sometimes it needs a capacitor or a limit switch. Sometimes the motor was never big enough for the gate. We’ll tell you the truth either way. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Everman.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, remotes, loop detectors, intercoms, and app-based entry systems all fail eventually, and in Everman’s heat, they fail a little faster. We replace components, rewire what’s salvageable, and won’t sell you a whole new system when a single photodiode is the actual problem. Hal will troubleshoot the exact point of failure before he recommends a single part.
Gate Parts & Welding
Hinge barrels, post caps, drop rods, fork latches, wheel brackets, gate frame rails. If it’s steel and it cracked, we can usually weld it back stronger than the original. Hal welds on site, in your driveway, with your gate still hanging where it belongs. That’s the difference between a repair that costs hundreds and a replacement that costs thousands, and it’s the difference between a one-day fix and a two-week wait for a new panel.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Everman
Everman’s a tight little city, and we run calls into every corner of it. Here are the pockets where we’re out most often:
- Homes around J.R. Holmes Park and the older grid streets off Enon Avenue
- Neighborhoods along W. Enon Place and the blocks west toward I-35W
- Properties off Chambers Street and the industrial-edge lots down by Everman Parkway
- Working lots with RV and equipment parking scattered across the south side
We don’t run timed appointment windows that leave you waiting half a day. When you call, Hal gives you a straight answer on when he can be there, and then he shows up in that window.
Why Everman’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
The black clay soil in this part of Tarrant County is nobody’s friend, and it’s especially hard on gate posts. When it rains, the clay swells and pushes. When it dries, it shrinks and cracks, and the post goes with it. A gate that was plumb in March is dragging its latch side by June, and by August it’s waking the whole street every time the opener fights the sag. Hal works in Everman often enough to know which posts were set too shallow in exactly this soil. He can usually reset and brace an original post rather than pouring new concrete, which saves time and money.
The summers here are a separate problem. Weeks of 105°F heat bake the black paint off a tubular steel gate, crack the wiring insulation inside the operator arm, and send rubber gaskets hard as plastic. A control board that worked fine in April can fault out in July simply because the box was installed in direct west sun. When Hal opens up the operator on an Everman gate, he’s looking for the heat damage first, because he sees it every week from May through September. These aren’t generic gate problems. They’re Everman problems, same as the clay in your yard and the sun on your west fence line.

- Hinge and weld repairs typically run $120-$280 depending on how many hinges are broken and how much frame steel needs attention.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Everman
How much does gate motor repair cost in Everman?
Most gate motor repairs in Everman run between $150 and $320 depending on whether it’s a limit switch, capacitor, or control board problem. Hal quotes the price before he touches anything, so you’ll know the number going in. Call (817) 241-4067 and describe what the opener is doing, and he’ll tell you what it’s likely to be and whether it’s even worth fixing.
Can you fix my gate today if it’s stuck in the open position?
Yes. When a gate is stuck open, you have a security problem, not just a gate problem. We answer the phone 24/7, and Hal will tell you honestly when he can be at your house in Everman. If it’s a matter of disengaging the operator and sealing the gate manually so you can sleep, he’ll walk you through that safely on the phone while help is on the way. Call (817) 241-4067 the minute you notice it.
Why does my gate sag in Everman even though it’s only a few years old?
In Everman, the answer is almost always the black clay soil. You may have a gate with a perfectly good hinge post that’s been pushed off plumb by the same swelling and shrinking that cracks your driveway. Hal checks the post before he touches the panel, because fixing the panel without righting the post is a repair that won’t last. He’ll show you exactly what he’s seeing and why he’s doing what he’s doing. For a straight answer on your gate, call (817) 241-4067.
Do you actually repair gates, or do you just sell new ones?
We repair first. Hal has been fixing gates since 2001, and he’d rather weld a broken hinge barrel back onto your existing gate than sell you a new panel for four times the money. He welds on site, in your driveway, and he stands behind it with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If a gate is truly done for, he’ll tell you that too, with a number for a new installation and no pressure to sign anything on the spot.
What brands of gate openers do you service in Everman?
We service nine major brands, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Hal is certified on all nine. If your Everman gate is running a BFT or a linear arm that another company won’t touch, give us a call. We don’t use “we don’t service that brand” as an excuse to sell you a new operator. For a quote on any opener service, call (817) 241-4067.
We’re Ready When Your Gate Gives Up
Gate trouble in Everman never waits for a convenient time, and neither do we. Whether it’s a dragging corner, a dead opener, a broken weld, or a post that’s finally lost its fight with the clay, call (817) 241-4067 and talk to a real person. Hal will answer, ask what the gate’s doing, and give you a straight number before he starts. If it’s not done right, he’ll come back, because his name is on the job and on the shop, and that’s the oldest accountability there is.

What Everman Customers Say
"Safety photo eyes on our old gate had been bypassed by whoever serviced it last, which he was genuinely annoyed about on my behalf. Fitted proper sealed ones and wired them the way they should be."
- Otis Redmond"Fitted a keypad and an intercom so my mother can let carers in without coming down the drive. He set it up and then made her practise with it until she was comfortable."
- Lucinda Marchbanks"Welded the hinge back onto our wrought iron gate on site rather than taking it away for a fortnight. Ground it back and painted it and you cannot see the repair."
- Winston Achterberg
