"I was contacted minutes after requesting a quote which was very fair. He arrived at the agreed time and was very courteous. He not only quickly repaired my garage door but went above and beyond by performing additional maintenance. There were no hidden additional charges. I highly recommend Ace of Spades!"

"Replaced new door and opener. Mr. Rice was here on time, replaced door, hauled away the old equipment, and programed the opener for my phone and car. He was very pleasant and cleaned up the area when completed. I would recommend him to all! Great service!"

Before any work was performed ?Automatic Gates of South Texas? took the time to explain and walk me through the whole job. They were also very open to any questions and suggestions that I had.

I was not living in the house that had the gate repaired and automated at the time. ?Automatic Gates of South Texas? does not require you to be present for them to do the work but I wanted to be there. They were very flexible and accommodating with their scheduling, so that I could be present during the whole repair and installation process. Due to my schedule we had to divide the work into two separate work sessions several weeks apart. During this whole repair/installation process ?Automatic Gates of South Texas? was very easy to get a hold of and were quick to return my phone calls when I left messages.

The individuals who did the repair of the gate and installation of the automated motor control system were very knowledgeable and easy to approach when I had questions.

My first impression is that these folks are professionals and trust worthy. There were several time when I had to leave the house while they were still working on the installation and I felt comfortable doing so.

1St  Session:

• Installed and routed electrical conduit. They took time to discuss the options I had for routing the conduit. Once the conduit path was decided on the installation was very professionally done.  

• Installed electrical wiring all the way back to the breaker box with a dedicated breaker (labeled) for the ?Gate motor? power (110 ac). All the electrical work was done by the owner of the company who is a licensed ?Texas Master Electrician? and licensed ?Texas Electrical Contractor?. The electrical installation was very neat and professional. You can tell these guys are professionals just by looking at the quality of the work that they do.

• Installed gate sensor wiring. Instead of cutting a grove in the driveway for the sensor wiring as I had expected they ran the wiring through the V-metal channel that the gate rides on. It was a little more work to do it this way but the end result was a very neat installation and my driveway did not have to be cut and patched.

• Once they were done for the day the job site was picked up and left clean.  

2Nd Session   

• Repaired/replaced receiver post brackets with heavy duty brackets (welded).

• Also replaced original brackets on gate guide posts with heavy duty brackets (welded).

• Installed heavy duty anchors for all new post brackets.

• Fabricated and welded gate extension to accommodate ?Automatic Control Gate System and Motor?.

• Fabricated and welded all needed brackets for the gate chain assembly.

• Replaced old gate wheels with 4? commercial grade sealed bearing power wheels.

• Modified/adjusted and checked gate for proper operation (unobstructed tracking & closing).

• Fabricated/welded and anchored metal pedestal to gate guide post and concrete. This pedestal was used to support the motor package about 18? above ground level. This keeps the control and motor package out of the water when it rains and away from the mower when mowing/weed eating, good idea.

• Installed/adjusted and tested ac/dc watertight motor and control package.

• Installed/adjusted and tested gate sensors for proper operations.

• Synchronized all remotes to automatic gate control system and garage door opener.

• All fabricated and welded brackets were painted black to match existing gate.

• Once they were done for the day the job site was picked up and left clean.  

The technicians took time to explain the maintenance (almost maintenance free system) and the operation of the new automatic gate system. They also explained how to properly use the new gate and garage door remotes (very simple to use).

"Mr. Chapa called to advise me that he was on his way. He repaired my gate and it now works like a charm! He was professional, reliable and knowledgeable in his field."

"They went ABOVE and beyond to give us good QUALITY work. Very honest and nice people. I would definitely recommend them to anyone of my family or friends. Great work guys!!!"

"The service technician did a very efficient job of analyzing the problem and replacing the defective opener. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was very happy and satisfied with the service from Julian and Diamond Garage doors."

"Found Chapa's on Angie's List as highly rated and gave them a call. Artenio was out quickly and was very friendly and knowledgeable. Repaired several issues with door and replaced a broken spring. He showed up on time, explained what was going on and how it happened and then fixed all the issues. This was a very good experience - highly recommend and will use him in the future.

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."
