Contact Gatewood Fence & Gate - Free Gate Repair Estimate in Malibu
Call (559) 338-6874 for a free gate repair estimate in Malibu. You’ll reach a live coordinator who takes your details, asks a few questions about the gate, and connects you with our local team. No hard sell, no pressure, no obligation. We answer the phone 24/7, and same-day assessment is available for urgent repairs. If your gate won’t open or a hinge is sagging, call now. You’ll know exactly what to expect before anyone drives out.
What Happens When You Call
Step 1: You describe the problem. We ask what’s happening: is the gate stuck open, grinding, sagging, or refusing to close? A photo or short video helps, but it’s not required. The goal is to understand whether this is an emergency or a scheduled repair.
Step 2: We schedule the assessment. We set a time that works for you, and for urgent Malibu repairs we can often come out the same day. You’ll get a real arrival window, and if anything slips, we call you before you have to call us.
Step 3: You receive a written estimate. We look at the gate, the posts, the hinges, the operator if you have one, and the safety edges. Then we put the price in writing before any work starts. You approve it or you don’t. No work happens until you say go.
Step 4: We fix the gate. Hal Gatewood repairs what other companies want to replace. We weld on site, which means your gate stays put instead of leaving your property for two weeks. When the job is done, you walk the gate with us and see it operate before we leave.
Why Malibu Homeowners Call Us First
- We’re actually local. Gatewood Fence & Gate serves Malibu and the surrounding hills, and the name on the work is the name of the man who stands behind it. Hal Gatewood puts his name and his address on every job, which is why people in Malibu ask their neighbors about us before they call anyone else.
- Written estimate before work begins. No phone quote that changes at the door. The price we put in writing is the price you pay, and it’s agreed before any wrench turns. That’s the straight-dealing part of how we work, and it’s the reason people stop being suspicious after the first job.
- Workmanship guarantee in writing. Every fence and gate job carries a ninety-day written guarantee. If something isn’t right, one call brings us back. No forms to file, no claim number to chase down. Just a phone call to (559) 338-6874.
- We repair before we replace. A lot of companies in the Malibu area will look at a sagging gate and tell you to buy a new one. Hal welds on site, straightens what can be straightened, and only replaces a part when replacement is the honest fix. That saves you money and keeps your gate original.

Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates
Yes. The assessment and written estimate are free for gate repair in Malibu and our full service area. You’ll know the price before you commit to anything, and you’re never obligated to move forward. Call (559) 338-6874 to book yours.
For urgent repairs like a gate that won’t open or a hinge that’s failing, we can often assess the same day. For non-emergency work we schedule within a few days. Tell us what’s happening and we’ll give you a straight answer on timing when you call.
No. Our rates don’t change based on when you call or when the work happens. The phone is answered 24/7, and weekend repairs are billed the same as weekday work. If a gate fails on a Saturday morning, you won’t pay a premium to get it working again.
Just a basic idea of what’s wrong: is the gate stuck, sagging, noisy, or not closing? If you know the brand of your operator, that helps. BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls all cross our path regularly in Malibu, but if you don’t know the brand, don’t worry. We’ll identify it on site. Call (559) 338-6874 and we’ll take it from there.
We accept standard payment methods including cash, check, and major credit cards. Payment details are confirmed when you approve the written estimate, before the work begins. No surprises after the fact, and no pressure to pay before the gate works the way it should.
