AfterGate Repair Services in Everman, TX
When a gate stops swinging right in Everman, it’s almost never the panel’s fault. We get calls from homeowners on Oak Grove Road and around Pittman Street who’ve been fighting a gate that scrapes the ground every time they open it. Nine times out of ten, the post underneath has shifted. Everman sits on Blackland Prairie clay that swells hard after spring rain and shrinks in August, and those post footings poured back in the 1950s and 60s just weren’t deep enough to resist it.
Hal Gatewood has been the one answering those calls since 2001. Not a call center, not a sales rep. Hal. His name is on the shop, his address is published, and his license number is there for anyone to look up. When you call Gatewood Fence & Gate at (817) 241-4067, a live person picks up, any hour of the day or night. If you’re in Everman, we’re close enough that Hal can typically get eyes on your gate the same day you call, and we quote the price before any tool leaves the truck.

Why Everman Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
This is a town where people still talk to their neighbors over the fence line. Everman homeowners don’t want a dispatcher reading from a script. They want someone who’ll drive to the house, look at the hinge post, and tell them honestly whether it can be welded back square or whether it’s genuinely done. That’s the repair-first way Hal has worked since he started in 2001, and it’s why word travels fast around the older neighborhoods west of Everman Parkway.
We’ve repaired gates on modest homes off Oak Grove Road and in the settled neighborhoods around Clyde Pittman Park, places where the driveway gate was welded by a local fabricator in the 1970s to a width you can’t buy off a shelf today. Homeowners in those parts of Everman tend to know exactly what they’ve got. They appreciate that Hal’s crew is background-checked, uniformed, and certified to service nine major gate brands, including Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing. They also appreciate that the 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing on the invoice, not hidden in a submenu. If it’s not right, one call brings Hal back. No runaround.
Every job with us gets upfront pricing. You’ll know the number before we start, and that number doesn’t change at the door. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount, any repair over $200 takes $40 off, and there’s no trip charge inside the county. Hal also offers a free second opinion on any written estimate from another company. Bring it to him. He’ll tell you straight whether the work is legit or whether you’re about to pay for something that doesn’t need doing.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Everman
Gate Repair
Most repair calls in Everman come down to a post that’s leaned, a hinge that’s fatigued, or a latch that quit meeting the striker plate. We fix the gate where it sits, in your driveway, welding on-site so nobody hauls your gate away for a week. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that’s where we start. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Everman.
Gate Installation
When an old pipe-frame gate from the 1960s has finally rusted through, we don’t try to bolt a prefabricated panel into a non-standard opening and call it good. Hal sources raw steel tubing and builds the gate to fit your actual measurements. If you want a new driveway gate or yard gate in Everman, this is measured, ordered, and scheduled properly, never rushed. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Everman.
Gate Motor & Opener
Openers in Everman work harder than most because a gate that’s dragging from a tilted post makes the motor strain every single cycle. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. If your opener hums but won’t move the gate, the first thing we check is whether the gate itself swings free. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Everman.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, vehicle sensors, safety edges: whatever lets you open the gate without leaving your truck. We wire new systems and troubleshoot existing ones, and we don’t leave until the loop detector reads and the safety photo eyes trip correctly. This is measured work with a written line-item price before anything gets installed.
Gate Parts & Welding
Hal welds on-site, which matters in Everman more than almost anywhere we serve. Custom-welded pipe gates from the 60s, 70s, and 80s almost never match a stock panel dimension, so the honest fix is cutting out the rusted section and welding in fresh steel. We carry raw tubing, hinge sets, latch hardware, and opener components that fit those old non-standard gates. Fix the panel without the post and you’ll fix it twice. We fix both while the whole job stays in your driveway.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Everman
If you live anywhere in Everman, we’ve likely worked a job on your street. We spend a lot of time in the older single-family blocks between Everman Parkway and the railroad tracks, where the housing stock runs from the late 1940s into the 1970s and the gates are original. Typical response time once we’re on the schedule is the same day for repair calls in most cases, especially if your gate is stuck open or won’t latch at all.

Why Everman’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Everman sits on the expansive Blackland Prairie clay of southern Tarrant County. That clay is the quiet villain behind most gate repair calls here. Spring rains make it swell; a long hot summer makes it shrink and crack. A gate post set in a shallow footing, which is what most of these 1950s to 1970s homes were built with, will move by measurable inches season after season. The gate starts fine in March and drags by July. The latch that worked in October won’t catch in April. Installation quality matters, but on this soil, even a well-set post wants to creep.
Then there’s the housing itself. Everman’s stock turned over slowly, which means a lot of properties still run the original utilitarian welded-pipe or chain-link driveway gates their builders put in. Those gates have fatigued hinges and rust-thinned tubing by now, and replacement often gets deferred when money is tight. Repair calls in Everman routinely involve more advanced deterioration than you’d see in newer Fort Worth suburbs, because by the time a homeowner calls Hal, the gate has been limping along for a couple seasons. The February 2021 ice storm that hit all of Tarrant County added a layer of bent frames and cracked welds to gates that were already stressed by post movement. Hal has seen every version of this story, and he doesn’t flinch at rust you can see daylight through. That’s what a welder is for.

We’re honest about money because Hal believes a man’s word is his bond. Here’s what you’re generally looking at in Everman:
- Gate inspection & adjustment (latch alignment, hinge tightening, post straightening assessment): $95-$185

FAQs About Gate Repair in Everman
Most gate repairs in Everman run between $95 and $600 depending on whether it’s a simple adjustment or a full post reset and re-weld. A hinge replacement usually lands in the $150-$300 range. If your gate has a custom-welded opening from an older build, expect custom steel work pricing. Call (817) 241-4067 and Hal will quote it directly from what you describe, free.
Yes. Repair calls in Everman are typically same-day, especially if the gate is stuck open, won’t latch, or a motor is straining. Hal answers the phone himself around the clock. When you call (817) 241-4067, you’ll get a straight answer about when we can be there, not a queue.
Most of the 1950s through 1970s pipe-frame gates in Everman can be repaired for far less than a full replacement, especially if the post is still sound. Hal’s rule is simple: fix what’s broken, leave what isn’t. He’ll tell you plainly if a gate has rusted past the point where welding makes sense. If a new gate is the honest call, gate installation in Everman is measured and built to fit your exact opening, not a stock panel forced into a space it doesn’t match.
We do. That includes running the power feed, setting up the loop detector, wiring photo eyes, and calibrating safety edges so the gate stops and reverses if anything is in its path. A gate opener that moves a heavy iron gate without working safety edges is dangerous, and we will not leave a job that way. If your opener is acting up, call us and we’ll check the gate itself first, because a dragging gate shortens an opener’s life fast.
We serve all of Everman, including the areas along Oak Grove Road, Pittman Street, Everman Parkway, and the homes near Clyde Pittman Park. If your street is inside city limits, we’ll be there. Same-day repair service applies across the whole city in most cases.
Gatewood Fence & Gate does the work the way Everman expects it done: honestly, locally, and fixed to last. Hal will show up himself, look at your gate, and tell you the truth. If he can weld it, he will. If he can’t, he’ll say so and help you figure out the smartest next step. Call (817) 241-4067 for a free estimate. You can also drive to the shop and look Hal in the eye before you spend a dime. The name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road. That’s the oldest accountability there is.

What Everman Customers Say
"He builds the gates himself in his own shop. You can go and look at it. That is not something you can say about the outfits that just order a panel in."
- Doreen Whitfield"Driveway gate had been dragging for two years and two other companies told me the whole thing needed replacing. Hal reset the posts, rehung it and it swings like it did when it went in. A fraction of the price of a new one."
- Hollis Amberly"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
