Contact Gatewood Fence & Gate - Free Gate Repair Estimate in Sherman Oaks
Call Gatewood Fence & Gate at (350) 238-9389 for a free gate repair estimate in Sherman Oaks. You’ll reach a live coordinator who listens first, takes down what’s happening with your gate, and sets up a time that works for your schedule. No hard sell, no pressure. Same-day appointments are available for repair calls across Sherman Oaks, Encino, Tarzana, Van Nuys, and the surrounding San Fernando Valley. If your gate won’t open, sags on its hinges, or the operator keeps tripping, call us and we’ll get someone out to look at it.
What Happens When You Call
We keep this simple because we know you’re probably calling after your gate just failed, not because you enjoy shopping for repairs.
Step 1: You call (350) 238-9389. A live coordinator answers, asks what the gate is doing or not doing, and gathers the basics: gate type, approximate age, what happened when it stopped working, and your address in Sherman Oaks or nearby. This call typically takes about five minutes.
Step 2: We schedule an assessment. You get a clear arrival window that matches our real operating hours: Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, Saturday and Sunday 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM. The technician shows up on time, and if anything slips, we call you before you have to call us.
Step 3: You get a written estimate. The technician inspects the gate, the hinges, the track, the operator, and the safety sensors. Then you receive a written price before any work begins. The number you see is the number you approve, and nothing gets added on after the fact.
Step 4: The work gets done right. Hal Gatewood’s name is on every fence and gate job we do, and every job carries a ninety-day written guarantee. If something isn’t right, one call brings us back.
Why Sherman Oaks Homeowners Call Us First
- Real local roots in Sherman Oaks. We’re not a call center three states away. The team that shows up at your house works the same streets you drive every day, and Hal Gatewood stands behind the work with his name on the shop.
- Licensing and insurance are required, not optional. Every pro working under the Gatewood Fence & Gate name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We don’t cut corners on credentials, because a gate repair gone wrong can hurt someone.
- Written estimates, no mystery fees. You get the price in writing before you approve anything. No bait-and-switch between the phone and the front door. If the job turns out smaller than expected, you pay less, not more.
- Ninety-day workmanship guarantee. Hal publishes his name, his address and his license number, and answers his own phone. The guarantee is in writing on every fences and gates job, and one call brings him back.

Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates
Is the estimate really free? Yes, the assessment and written estimate are free in Sherman Oaks and our service area. You pay nothing unless you approve the work and we complete it, and the price you approve is the price on the invoice.
How quickly can you come to Sherman Oaks? Our fastest repair slots fill in the morning, so the earlier you call, the better your chances of a same-day visit. Real hours are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM, Saturday and Sunday 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and we schedule within those windows. Call (350) 238-9389 and we’ll give you the next available slot.
Do you charge extra for weekends or evenings? No. Our Saturday and Sunday hours (8:30 AM to 6:30 PM) carry the same pricing as any other day. Evening calls within our weekday hours are treated the same, and the written estimate covers everything before you approve it.
What should I have ready when I call? Just the basics: your address, what the gate is doing, roughly how old the gate or operator is, and whether you see any visible damage to hinges, wheels, or the track. A photo helps if you can send one, but it’s not required before your call.
What payment methods do you accept? We accept standard payment methods including major credit cards, and the terms are made clear on your written estimate before work starts. If you have a question about payment, just ask when you call, and we’ll answer it directly.
