These guys are as honest as they come. I didn't have the key for the lock so they cut the lock off to access the panel. They called ahead and showed up on time. They didn't overcharge me and were great to deal with. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: My electric driveway gate wouldn't close. They replaced some warn out wire connectors.

Alan an Susie were very punctual and professional in getting back to us. They were quick to give us an initial estimate for work done and a realistic timeline. They were $300 cheaper than our first estimate we got, so that was good. While work took a couple of weeks to finish, they were very up front that they had a lot of catching up to do from the rain. I didn't mind waiting an extra week or two since they were forthright about it from the start. After sending in our first check for half of the work they informed me that the fabricators had started on the gate the next week, and then a week later they called to do the install. The two workers that showed up were right on time and very kind and professional. They got right to it and finished within 3 hours (teardown, installation, re-attachment of motor). They seem to have been very thorough about making sure the gate was in the right place and the post was level so we wouldn't run into draggin issues. Alan then came out to inspect the work about halfway thru and help with the installation of the motor. He showed me how to program remotes to it and collected payment himself. Overall it was a great experience.
Description of Work: Built a new automatic gate and installed it. Addressed previous issues with the gate from prior installation to get it in better working order.

I called Alan's Gates and quickly he came out to look at the problem. He made good suggestions and now we have a wonderfully working gate. He was great to talk with because he could explain things so well. Many times workers just dismiss the wife and want to talk to the husband. I felt I had his full attention with my questions as well. I wish all business transactions went this smoothly.

They were great and fantastic. I've used them before and they really explain everything. The price was reasonable. They were responsive and professional. There have been a couple of times where the gate were giving issues, they showed up and I wasn't home but they were able to service it. I will use them again.

This was the seconed estimate I received to repair my electric gate and it was $300 less Then once Travis started the repair he realized it was a different issue that was causing our problem and he did the entire repair for $100. We were very pleased with the company ... they fit us in during the holidays and came right when they said they would. Bravo!

We had a really stubborn electric fence gate that we had called several people about with no good solutions. Alan's came out and figured out the problem in 5 minutes and so far the gate has been working better than ever. Would highly recommend.

We had contacted Alan's Gate due to Angie's List recommendation. In the initial contact, we had expressed that the outside wires had been cut from gardening in the yard and needed a new line. Travis came out and gave an estimate of $200. He didn't have the proper supplies to complete job and came back the next day. After the job was completed, he charges us $275. I didn't dispute the charge, even though he left his trash and cigarette butts throughout my yard. The next day, my remote in my car was not functioning properly. I had to get up really close to the gate, whereas before Travis fixed it, my remote was working great. Our gate would work sometimes through the connection from the house. After a couple of weeks, I called to get Travis back out thinking that this was at least a 30 day warranty. I immediately got push back and was told that I had an old unit and that I needed to get a new unit. I explained that our remotes from cars and handheld were working great until Travis repaired it. Again, I was surprised at the resistant. Travis came back out, did a few adjustments and said if this doesn't work, then we really needed a new unit. Again, the gate was not working properly. So we took it upon ourselves to fix it. We sealed the wire where Travis had connected outside since he had left it exposed and also found that the antenna on the gate had been bent (that is why the remotes weren't working right). The gate is working fine now. Needless to say, I will NEVER use Alan's Gates and will tell everybody I know what had happened.

The customer did not let us know they had issues, so we were never given a chance to address them. We did give an estimate to replace the strike line to the call box properly (this was not live electrical wire), run in conduit and buried, but it was more expensive, so we were asked to relocate and repair what was there. The customer was informed by not burying the wires properly they would likely have future issues. We got the call box working again except for talk feature and if they wanted that feature they would need a new call box. There were 2 hours of labor at 95.00 per hour plus 85.00 in parts. I always let my new customers know our hourly charges and that parts are additional before we come out (parts will vary). We never worked on the gate operator itself. The customer called back 3 weeks later and we did go back the following day for free and repaired a splice in the wire, reprogrammed the remotes and one of the cars, the other car was not home. As far as the trash etc., it could have fallen out of Travis’ truck; he says he did not intentionally leave a mess. He does apologize, as do we. We do strive to satisfy our customers.

Fantastic! I scheduled the appointment a few days ahead of time for Alan to come out and reverse our driveway gate from one that swings in to one that swings out. We also had him program 3 new remotes and program the homelink in our car. This is the second time I have used them to service our gate and have been very pleased on both occasions. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

The electrical motor to my gate quit working. Alan's gates came out and diagnosed the problem as a burnt circuit board and tried a field repair in order to save me money and not have to buy a new circuit board. However the circuit board was too damaged so they ordered and installed a new board. They also cleaned and lubricated the chain and adjusted the closing mechanism so it also closed better than before. Took the time to service the whole system, not just the current problem, which was much appreciated.

Travis was great. I was thoroughly impressed. One of the best home maintenance contractor experiences that I have had.

Suzie was great and very easy to talk to. She was able to schedule to have Travis come out the same day to take a look at our broken gate opener. I had already gotten another opinion and wanted to know all my options before investing in a new system. Travis came out and identified the problem that our existing motor was too small for the gate. He broke down all our options (long vs. short term) and also did his measurements to make sure the new motor would fit the space. Travis was really knowledgeable and explained everything simply. The installation took about 4 hours and we now have a new commercial grade gate opener, key pad, and remotes. Alan's Gates were very easy to work with and I will be using them to for tune ups!

Returned service call request same day. Very polite and professional on phone. Explained fee schedules. Offered to service same day or following day. Tech (Travis) was very professional and in general, just a super nice guy. He showed up on time and performed all necessary work. By suggesting an alternate repair option, we were able to save $$ -as we thought we would need to pull up and re-seat gate line. It was obvious he cared about customer service and went out of his way to obtain a part for us that he did not originally have on his truck.

Made a call for service in the afternoon and appointment was set for the next morning. Alan showed up right on time. He worked very efficiently both to discover and resolve the problems, particularly since there was multiple issues (GFI was tripped, battery and cables were old and corroded, wires were cut in multiple locations both above and underground from landscaping). I presumed that at least one of the gate actuators would need to be replaced or repaired, but he was able to get it fully operational without doing any of that. Alan was very friendly, professional knew what he was doing. I would definitely recommend him for service.
