Travis showed up on time and diagnosed the problem with the electric gate opener. He had to order the part and came back the next week to install it. Works like a charm.

I was impressed by the young fellow that came to our home. He was professional in our intereaction. He made sure the timing on the gate opening and closing was spot on and cleaned the electronics box upon replacing the control board. Our gate using solar energy. Some businesses try to talk people into replaceing to non-solar power. This fellow did not try to sell me anything, just repaired and completed the job at hand. I would recommend this business. I asked for additional business cards to give to our neighbor's who have electronic driveway gates.

Alan was able to determine the root cause for the failure, and repair it within minutes. The failure was bad unused circuit board connected to another board. In addition to that the wire connector between two boards were chewed up by rodent(s). Alan informed us measures to keep rodents away in future, and also told us way to properly maintain the gate chain's life.
Description of Work: Our drive way electric gate stopped working. Initially I contacted the fence builder who determined that the failure was beyond their ability, then they contacted Alan's Gates. Alan came out the very next day on time, and repaired the gate within an half hour. It took the other people two trips to figure out that it was beyond their ability. What a difference! Alan also told us about other things we can do to prevent the failure to occur in future. Easy to talk to, and professional. Highly recommended.

Our iron fence had a pair of swing gates at the end of our driveway which, at some time in the past, must have been run in to and then badly repaired (cabinet grade hinges replaced the ones welded on originally) causing sagging. Alan was out within a day of being called to give an estimate and described what needed to be done (even pointing out a misplaced downspout and how that affects the gates). He showed up right when he said he would (we got in early because of some cancellations) and had both gates properly rehung within just a few hours. He even added a missing stop that had never been there as it should have been. Wonderful guy to chat with too.

Overall, I am very pleased with the entire experience, and am happy to recommend Alan's Gates.
Description of Work: I needed to replace an old gate across my driveway. Alan and his team were very helpful in listening to what I wanted, prompt and dependable in keeping appointments, and very professional throughout the project. About a month after installation of the gate, because of alternating bouts of heavy rain and dry spells, the gate shifted slightly making it impossible to lock. Alan came out immediately and personally fixed the problem at no charge!

I called on Wednesday and set up an appointment for Thursday. Alan was on time (a few minutes early which make me HAPPY). He was professional, friendly, and super helpful explaining the operating system of my gate. The gate is now working GREAT! If anything goes wrong with the gate in the future I will for sure call Alan to fix it!

Alan was on time (early, in fact) and serviced the unit quickly. He was very personable and professional.
Description of Work: I have been having trouble with my driveway gate working intermittently and then not working. He noticed some of the wiring was not connected to factory specifics and made that change. He also made sure all the remotes were working as well as the button on the gate.

The experience was great. Alan showed up exactly on time and quick diagnosed the problem (our chain was dried out and needed to be replaced). Alan was able to re-fit it with a new chain and provided instruction on how to maintain it better to extend the life of the new chain. He was very quick and efficient and our gate is back to 100% functionality now.
Description of Work: Our electric gate was not closing and opening properly. We contracted Alan to come out and try to fix it, which he was able to do.

We were very impressed with Alan. We wanted someone who would at least give our old gate a try at repairing. He didn't give us the hard sell on a new gate, but actually spent a lot of time trying to rehabilitate the old one at our request for a very low service charge. When it was apparent to both of us that a new gate would be necessary, he was prompt and professional at getting in installed. He took away the old unnecessary electrical parts of the old gate and left everything tidy. Not only do we have a great new working gate, but the whole area looks better too! We highly recommend Alan and his company and will use him in the future should the need arise.
Description of Work: We initially contacted Alan's Gates to try and repair an extremely old gate operator that had never worked since we bought our home last summer. It was no longer even connected to the gate, nor did we have working remotes for it. We knew it was a total long shot that it could be repaired and went into the situation fully expecting to buy a new operator. To our amazement, Alan was able to get it up and running and it worked great for about a week. Alan was totally honest with us that it was probably not a long-term fix, which we knew, and in fact that was the case. Alan recommended that a new operator would be the best course of action at that point. We agreed, and the new one was installed two days later.

Alan responded within one day of my call with an early morning appointment. He showed up on time, slightly early actually, and got to work right away. He diagnosed the problem on my automatic gate, replaced the battery, greased the hinges and gave me a quick tutorial on the maintenance and expected life cycle of the automatic gate mechanism. He was finished in about 15 minutes and had all necessary parts in his truck. He was polite and professional, respectful of my time.
Description of Work: The automatic gate had stopped working consistently. Alan examined the gate, diagosed the problem, replaced the battery and greased the hinges.

He was able to come look at my fence/gate & fix my problem the next day after I called. He was early to his appt and came ready with the needed parts based on our conversation the day before. In addition to replacing my wheels with better, maintenance-free wheels, he greased my chain, checked my motor/battery explained how to maintain it all, and even patched up my breaking fence where it was straining the motor. All this in under 1 hour. He was competitively priced: final bill = estimate. Seemed very knowledgable and experienced (does the work for Love Field & been in the business for 18+ yrs).
Description of Work: Replaced 2 worn out wheels on my sliding, wood gate and checked my motor & chain.

Quick response. The opener really needed to be replaced, but no hard sell from technician. Pleased with overall experience. Will call them first when ready to replace opener.
Description of Work: Replaced receiver in an "ancient" driveway gate opener; probably original to home. Four existing remotes were programmed to work with a used replacement receiver from a recently replaced opener like ours. Prior to service, opener was very unreliable and would not open remotely.

He was able to find a used receiver because the gate opener is so old that I would have had to replace it to put on a new receiver, which was a good thing. He was honest and on time. He made good recommendations that wouldn't necessarily make him money but would help to save me money.

Alan arrived on time and quickly identified the problem. Not only did he get the operating mechanism working again, he also greased the hinges and repaired a cracked weld. Both the gate and controller work better than they did when they were installed. I will undoubtedly call on him again if we ever have another problem.

Found Alan's Gate on Angie's list after reading through all reports. Called and left a message Monday morning and my phone call was returned immediately. They said they could be at my house between 10-11 the following day. On Tuesday Alan called when he was on his way and said he would be there at 10:15. He examined the gate and determined it was the drive pulley that was broken. Tried to repair the old one at first but was unable and therefore installed a new one. With the new pulley and some oil on the chain, our gate now works perfectly and quietly!! Also want to mention that during the time he was repairing the gate we had a big thunderstorm come through. He worked right through the thunderstorm which I thought was very nice but did make me a little nervous for him! I will be calling them again if I have any other gate or fence repairs.
Description of Work: Repaired our electric gate that had stopped working altogether. Installed a new drive pulley.
