PNW Fence & Gate today announced that it now handles every stage of an automated driveway gate project in-house, from custom fabrication in its Chehalis shop to operator installation and repair on systems the company did not originally build. The company serves residential, agricultural and small commercial properties across Lewis and Thurston counties and neighboring communities in western Washington.

A motorized gate that stops working creates an immediate access problem. Depending on where the gate sits and how it failed, a property owner can be blocked from driving onto the property or stuck on the wrong side of it until a technician arrives to release or repair the system. PNW Fence & Gate repairs and replaces gate operators, the drive units that physically open and close a gate, including LiftMaster and HySecurity equipment already installed on customer properties. Reviews on the company's Google profile describe same-day and next-day response on failed gates.

Service calls commonly involve worn hinges and rollers, failed electronics, storm-damaged motors or safety sensors that no longer read correctly and refuse to let the gate close. The company keeps replacement motors in stock rather than special-ordering each unit, which shortens the time a gate sits broken. It also takes on gates that another contractor installed and later stopped supporting. Crews build and automate both swing gates, which pivot open like a door, and slide gates, which roll along the fence line where a driveway is too steep or too short for a swinging panel.

Fabrication happens in the company's own shop, not through an outside supplier. Owner Tallon Ball, a welder by trade, builds custom steel gates to fit sloped entrances, uneven driveways and nonstandard openings instead of forcing a pre-built panel onto the site. Ball works on job sites daily rather than managing from an office. The same crew that welds the gate hangs it, wires the motor and programs the keypads and remotes, which leaves one contractor responsible for the finished system.

Gate motors installed by the company come with a seven-year warranty on the motor itself. A two-year workmanship warranty covers the labor on every job, from a hinge repair to a full fabrication and automation project. The company holds a 5.0 rating across 52 Google reviews, and 32 of those reviews describe gate installations, operator replacements or gate repairs. Its service area covers 13 cities, running from Chehalis and Centralia north through Tumwater, Olympia and Lacey to Lakewood. Gated driveways have become a regular request in the company's recent work, showing up most often on rural parcels and newer acreage properties.

"A gate is the one part of the property that has to work every single day," said Tallon Ball, owner of PNW Fence & Gate. "When it quits, you are either stuck behind it or stuck outside it, and waiting weeks for an out-of-area company is not a real answer. We build them, wire them and fix them ourselves because quality over quantity only counts if you stand behind the whole system."

Property owners can request a free on-site estimate for a new gate, an automation retrofit on an existing gate or a repair visit by calling (360) 996-4250 or through the company's website. Completed gate and fencing projects are available for review on the company's business profile.
