These guys are nice, courteous. They fix the problem. Prices are fine. However, only if you can get ahold of someone. I've left messages over and over for this company because my gate has broken down three times in the past 6 months and no one responds. When I do get someone, they will say things like "I can come on Wednesday" and refuse to give you a time window. When they call me on Wednesday and i'm out *running the one vital quick errand i need to run that day and I can be home in 15 minutes!* they said they'd reschedule me for over a week later. Maybe they treat me this way because I'm a woman? I dont know. It's happened more than once. But I'm a full time physician and I have two small kids. Sorry my schedule isn't wiiiiiiide open for ya. Lost my business. Edit: I got a call from the company saying they attempted to call me many times but had a wrong number. I'm not sure if this is the case because i've only given them one number. Maybe there was some communication error. I appreciate them following up and improved my score.

Highly recommend to AVOID from this company. In August of 2014 they came to fix our gate - Kelly checked it and confidently insisted that there was an electrical problem with our old gate - and that we needed to hire a licensed electrician to fix the electricity (he admits is NOT an electrician). We hired Daniel Electric on Sept 2 2014 (a Southlake based certified electrician) to supposedly repair this electrical problem - (we have the report from them in hand) who found absolutely nothing wrong with the electricity, and was puzzled how anyone with even a basic knowledge of wiring or someone installing a gate could think something was wrong with the electrical connection in question. After a $125 invoice from Daniel Electric and a written report from them - we made the mistake of engaging All Solar company again to install the brand new gate. ($1800.00) Kelly refused to reduce the price of the new gate by the amount we unnecessarily had to pay the electrician. ($125.00) Then 7 months later the gate stopped working. We called All Solar for assistance - only to find hostility, unprofessional conduct, no follow up service, and a complete refusal to help us at all. The reason stated by Kelly: "you have an electrical problem" and "your wife gave a poor review on Angie list". I had to contact the gate manufacturer for assistance. Upon further investigation - it turns out All Solar had improperly installed the wiring in the gate control box mechanism with a spliced INDOOR extension cord , and a bunch of black electrical tape. This in an outdoor unit ! in summary - from our direct experience and in our opinion - if you want a sloppy, jerry rigged installation, service problems, no followup, and a hostile attitude on top of it all - then use this company without hesitation.

EXCELLANT........ #1 BUSINESS.....
Description of Work: Saved me a bunch of money. Originaly I called to see if they had a gate motor to replace a bad one. After getting there, was told they did not have the type of motor I needed, which was my fault for not clearly relating what type I had. If I had replaced the old motor with a new one it would have cost me $636.00 but before leaving Seth asked to look at my motor. Pulled out one brush, looked bad, he had brushes so I asked him to replace all of them (3). Motor worked fine after that. A $636.00 original cost wound up being only $32.00. Finally found someone that will do something for a customer because it was right and not because he could gouge me for a lot of money. Very impressed.... Very nice group of people... Should be #1 on the list of gate businesses to use.. They will be the only people I use in the future.

We have used them for more than 10 years. We have not used anybody else, so I really cannot compare. They are ok. The last time I used them, I had a little issue. There was a problem with the gate and they said it was a electrical problem and not theirs. So I called the electrician and he said that there is no electrical problem and he charged 125$ for that. Later, I called All Solar Gate to explain the issue and asked them to speak to the electrician and sort it out. They spoke and told me that the issue is really complicated and it is beyond their means to fix it up. So, we had to spend another 1800$ to get a new gate installed. The gate was not too old, so I was not happy about it. Probably in the future we would not use them again. I would advice them to learn the electrical components. They were good in the past, but I wonder if the quality has gone down.

The work was done on time, exactly as he described, and we couldn't be happier. I contacted him a week later for a small change I wanted done and he called right back and was out within a few days to take care of my request. I couldn't recommend him higher.
Description of Work: I wanted a small driveway gate installed and searched Angie's List for providers. After having many out for an estimate, I was amazed at the difference in price! Kelly was not only the best priced provider, he was by far the best in educating me on what I needed and what they could do. He repurposed existing iron fencing we were wanting removed rather than charging me for all new stuff. NOT what the others wanted to do. This is probably why his quote was a more reasonable. I hired him on the spot because I loved how kind, honest, warm, and truly caring he was.

My gate would work, then not work or stop halfway. I thought I had a bad circuit board. Kelly came out and figured out the problem immediately. He really knows his gates. One of the wires to the motor had broken and was causing the motor to short out. He rewired the activator arm and checked out all the other connections and got it running in no time. It took him an hour to get to my house from the previous job and he was here about 45 minutes and charged me a total of $110.00. The amount he charged me seemed out the low side if you want my opinion. I'll never call anyone else for my gate work in the future.

I spoke to Kelly and his wife and they gave me enough information to test my gate components and realize I had either a bad circuit board or gate actuator(arm). I called him up and he came out the next day and quickly tested and diagnose a bad board (could see the burns on it) and he tested the actuator, solar panel , and battery ensuring they were good. He got the new board in and additionally he greased the actuator ,spliced the cut wire to the solar panel , programmed my remote , raised the gate( was too low and hitting obstruction), and gave me a bolt to hold arm to gate. Well worth the $85 service call plus the cost of the board to have someone knowledgable fix my gate!!! I'll call him anytime I need gate help again.
Description of Work: My gate came back to life thanks to Kelly and company.

Other than the inconvenience of the gate being inoperative while waiting for a replacement actuator from the manufacturer, the process was painless and fully satisfactory. I would definitely recommend All Solar for gate actuator repairs!
Description of Work: Last March, All Solar came out and replaced our gate actuator. Two weeks ago, the actuator failed again. All solar came out promptly and diagnosed another limit switch failure. The actuator was replaced in two days at no charge.

Called the evening before and talked to Kelly who scheduled me for 12:00 the next day. A little later, his son called to push time out to 2pm since 12 was already taken. No problem and appreciated the quick notification of the time conflict. Arrival was punctual and work was done quickly and professionally. He did not leave until all components of the gate were tested and ensured all operating properly. Gate has been workingperfectly since.

He found the problem.He changed battery and reset controller. He adjusted the swing arm. Everything works great. Only problem I had is that he did not call me back to schedule time. I just happened to call the office to check with them and they said he was scheduled to come out that same day, but I didn't know that. I was able to get off work and it worked out fine. That's the only reason I gave a B. I would use him again.

I first engaged All Solar in 2008 and was very pleased with their work so I called them a few days ago for this service. They called to schedule service when they said they would (the next day), and showed up as promised. Charges are very reasonable and it appears they grandfathered the service charge portion as it was the same as 2008. I would only call All Solar for work on my gate!

I initially called on a Sunday night and got left a voicemail. The answering service wasn't overly clear so I wasn't 100% sure I got the right company but I left a message anyway. I got a followup call from the number on my cell the next day but wasn't able to take it. They didn't leave a voicemail so I wasn't 100% sure at the time it was from All Solar. I ended up calling back the next day. They had a technician come out (Seth) and diagnose the problem. They went ahead and replaced the fuze but couldn't repair the hinges that day. They also couldn't give me definite appointment time to come back out and do the rest of the work without talking to someone else about scheduling but they said they would call me back on Friday with the appointment time for the following week. I ended up having to follow up with them because I hadn't heard anything by 4:00 on Friday afternoon. At that point I called Seth and he made a tentative appointment with me for Tuesday at 10 saying he'd call me back if he found out there was a problem with that. I was a little nervous about whether or not the appointment would come off cleanly but it did. In fact he was there within 10 minutes of the beginning of the 2 hour appointment window he had scheduled. He added the spacer to the lower gate hinge (he had already replaced the fuze on the initial visit) and got our remotes working. He also explained other potential problems with the gate and seemed to be proactively trying to get us the most cost-effective solution. I couldn't have been more pleased with the overall experience/result.
Description of Work: We had an automatic gate that had been in a state of disrepair for over a year. They installed a new fuse, and installed a spacer on the bottom hinge of the gate to prevent it from dragging which had probably caused the fuze to blow in the first place. They were very reasonably priced, explained exactly what needed to be done in clear and understandable manner.

I can't say enough good things about this company. They called me back right away and when I told Kelly what the problem was, he tried to help me over the phone to save a service call. Unfortunately, it was an old pad and the battery had corroded and I was unable to replace it myself. He came out within a couple of hours and replaced the key pad with a shiny new one. He was pleasant and efficient and I will call him in the future for any gate needs I have. I wish all companies were as helpful and responsive as this.

Gate was not consistanly hitting the correct open/ close positions. I had had another company try to fix it by adjusting the arm. That company told me I would likely require a new arm. All solar responded the next day, spotted an old, defective marine battery not up to snuff, replaced the batterey, cleaned and serviced the gate. So far, so good -- and for much less than I had expected.

Had a problem with my driveway gate opener. Based on the positive reviews, I decided to give them a call. I left messages for them for an entire week before giving up. I ended up replacing the control board myself which I purchased through another authorized dealer in the area. They could have at least returned my calls. Not recommended.

Of course, anything electrical that's constantly exposed to the elements will need periodic maintenance. Kelly and his company are the best choice! His service is on-schedule, prompt, and fairly priced. In 4 years, I've never felt ignored or ripped-off. If I'm not home during a service call, I get a phone call explaining the problem with the options and costs expected for the repair. His prices can seem steep, but they're certainly comparable; you won't be disappointed with his service! A++++!!!
Description of Work: I've been using Kelly's company All Solar Gate for 4 years now to help maintain my solar powered gate. On first encounter, he warned me of the poor performance and quality of Apollo Gate circuit boards. He recently replaced it with a US Automatics circuit board when it finally burned out. Although costly (more than $400), I've had fewer problems since. I also grew tired of the constant problems and hassles of solar power, so Kelly helped me convert to an electric (120 volt) hard-wired system. I now have even fewer problems with my gates.

Kelly was very professional and he did an excellent job of making sure our gate works properly. We are very pleased with him and we will recommend him to our friends and relatives if they ever needed someone to fix their gates.
Description of Work: Kelly Esquivel came to see why our driveway gate wasn't working and he figure out that our battery was dead. He explained that our solar panel wasn't getting enough light to fully charge our battery and that's why our battery died within 2 years. He recommended that we switched to an A/C trasformer for recharging the battery when it is depleted. Since he didn't have any in his truck at the time of service. He mailed us an A/C transformer (at no added charge) the next day. He also adjusted the way our gate was closing.

My gate was stuck open and the battery was completely dead. Even the override wouldn't work. When I called, they were booked up, but he said he would try to work me in and sure enough, he was there that afternoon. He replaced the battery and attached a system that plugs in and charges the battery. My trees had grown a lot since the solar panel was installed and it just wasn't getting the sun it needed especially in the summer. Also, the metal piece that held the cover on had rusted off and I was having to tape it on. He attached a new piece that held the cover on. I was very pleased at how fast and efficient everything was done.
Description of Work: Replaced battery, attached A.C. System and fixed a metal piece that had rusted off that kept the cover on.
