Why Rendon Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Rendon is the kind of place where people check a company’s address before they call. Hal Gatewood’s name is on the shop, his license number is published, and he’s been fixing gates since 2001. That’s the kind of accountability you can’t get from a national outfit that sends a different crew every week. We work on the big ornamental iron gates you see along Rendon Road and the tubular steel driveway gates out toward the horse properties off of Kennedale Road. Homeowners around the Allencrest Estates and Rendon Estates neighborhoods have called us for everything from sagging hinges to completely dead openers.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and they show up in the window they promised. We’re certified to service LiftMaster, BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls openers, plus several other major brands. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, one call brings Hal back. No runaround, no fine print.

Gate Repair Services We Offer in Rendon
Gate Repair
A gate that’s dragging, leaning, or won’t latch is usually failing at the hinge post or the hinge itself, not in the middle of the panel. We straighten posts, weld cracked frames, replace bent hinges, and fix the alignment so the gate swings true again. On-site welding means the gate stays in your driveway while we work.

Gate Installation
Whether you’re putting in a new ornamental iron driveway gate or replacing a rotten cedar ranch gate with steel, we measure, order, and install it right the first time. We handle the posts, the panel, the concrete, and the hardware so it all works together instead of fighting each other.
See what’s involved on our Gate Installation in Rendon page.
Gate Motor & Opener
When a gate opener quits, it’s often a travel limit that’s out of adjustment, a photo eye that’s covered in dust, or a control board that finally gave up after years of Texas heat. We repair all of it and replace openers with brands like BFT, Linear, and Ghost Controls when the old unit is beyond saving.
Details are on our Gate Motor & Opener in Rendon page.
Gate Access Control
Keypads, intercoms, card readers, and vehicle sensors all need to play nice with the opener and the gate itself. We wire, program, and troubleshoot access control on Rendon properties so you’re not getting out of the truck every time you come home.
Gate Parts & Welding
Broken hinge, snapped chain, cracked post, rusted-through rail. We weld on-site and keep common parts on the truck so we don’t have to order a two-dollar bracket and make you wait a week just to close your gate again.

Why Rendon’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Rendon sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and that clay is the reason half the gate problems here happen at all. The soil swells dramatically when North Texas winters deliver rain, then shrinks and cracks hard during the summer drought. A gate post poured in that ground shifts every single year. The gate binds, the latch won’t line up, the opener’s travel limits get thrown off, and the hinges pull loose from wooden frames. Fix the panel without straightening the post and you’ll fix it twice.
The housing stock makes it worse in a predictable way. Rendon has a lot of 1970s and 80s ranch homes and newer custom builds, all on big lots with long gravel or caliche driveways. Those driveways mean big, heavy gates: ornamental iron, tubular steel, cedar ranch styles. Big heavy gates on shifting clay soil put enormous stress on hardware. Add summer heat that regularly tops 100°F, baking powder-coat finishes and warping untreated cedar boards, and you have a yearly cycle of gate failure that’s more intense here than in the sandy-loam suburbs just north around Mansfield.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Rendon
What you’ll pay depends on what’s actually wrong, and we’d rather look at it before quoting. That said, here are honest ranges for what Rendon homeowners typically see:
- Hinge replacement or repair: $150-$400, depending on gate weight and post condition
- Gate post straightening or re-setting: $250-$800, depending on whether we need to break out and re-pour concrete
- Opener repair (sensor, limit, board): $180-$500
- Full slide gate opener replacement: $900-$1,600 installed
- On-site welding repair: $200-$600 depending on the extent of the crack or break
We stand by these numbers as starting points, not door-knock surprises. You’ll get a firm price before work starts, every time. There’s no trip charge inside the county, $40 off any repair over $200, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. The price you agree to is the price you pay.

The Blackland Prairie clay under Rendon swells when it gets wet, pushing gate posts out of plumb and binding the gate against the latch or the ground. It’s the most common seasonal failure we see on horse properties and acreage lots around Rendon. Re-setting the post is the fix; welding or shimming the panel alone will fail again.
Yes. We service LiftMaster, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and several other brands. Opener failures out here are often travel-limit shifts from the soil movement, plus dust from gravel drives caking the photo eyes. We’ll diagnose on-site and repair if it’s repairable, replace only if it isn’t. Call (903) 829-4499 to schedule.
A new gate installation includes measuring the driveway opening, setting posts in concrete to the right depth for Rendon’s clay soil, hanging the gate, installing the opener and any access control, and verifying everything works as a unit. We’ll give you a written estimate first, and you’re not obligated until you see it. Call (903) 829-4499 for a free measure and quote.
Yes. We run the low-voltage line from the opener to the control box, install photo eyes and edge sensors, and make sure the opener is properly grounded for Texas storms.

What Rendon Customers Say
"Operator had died and the manufacturer no longer makes the board. Rather than sell me a whole new system he found a compatible unit and adapted the mount. Saved me a great deal of money."
- Salvador Arredondo"Beautiful gate and solid work. The build took about three weeks longer than the estimate because he was waiting on the ironwork, and I would rather have known that at the start than found out along the way."
- Beatrice Nwosu"The fence is excellent and it was fairly priced. He is not quick to answer email, so if you need him, ring. He always picks up the phone."
