What Pasadena Homeowners Say About Vance Gate Repair Pasadena
Reviews matter because a gate is the first thing you touch leaving home and the last thing protecting it when you return. We earn ours the slow way: a written price before any tool comes off the truck, a photographed record of what we found and changed, and a repair that still works a year later. Since 2014, Adrian Vance and the team have completed more than 22,000 gate repairs and installations in Pasadena and the surrounding neighborhoods, every single one documented. Here’s what people tell us after we leave.
Recent Reviews
“Our swing gate on San Rafael had been dragging for months. Adrian found the hinge post had settled almost an inch on one side. He removed the gate leaf, sleeved and reset the post, and re-hung it with new bearings. It swings with one finger now. The photo log he left showed every step, including the concrete depth. That level of documentation is rare.”
Lamont C. - San Rafael, Pasadena
“The gate motor on our driveway in Madison Heights stopped responding to the remote after a rainstorm. Vance diagnosed a dead transformer and a corroded limit switch, replaced both from their truck stock, and had us running in about ninety minutes. I got a written price before they started and a written record of every part number before they left.”
Michelle D. - Madison Heights, Pasadena
“I had two other companies tell me my BFT slide gate operator needed a full replacement. Vance came out, traced the fault to a loose ground in the conduit run, and fixed it for a fraction of the quoted replacement cost. They service every brand, so they had no reason to upsell me. That changed how I think about gate repair.”
Miguel G. - Bungalow Heaven, Pasadena
“A delivery truck clipped our driveway gate in Oak Knoll and bent the steel frame. The team straightened it, welded two stress fractures, and realigned the photo-eye that had shifted from the impact. They left photos of the welds before and after paint. You would never know it happened.”
Allison W. - Oak Knoll, Pasadena
“Our Mighty Mule opener on a north Pasadena hillside would randomly stop mid-cycle. Another company replaced the control board and the problem came back. Vance found the actuator arm had been installed with a slight bind, which was overheating the motor. He released the tension, reset the travel limits, and it’s run silently for five months.”
Lamont C. - North Arroyo, Pasadena
“The pedestrian gate at our San Pascual property had a broken weld on the lower hinge. Adrian cut out the old weld, ground the surface clean, and re-welded it with a gusset plate for extra strength. He quoted the whole job before beginning and the final invoice matched the written estimate to the dollar.”
Miguel G. - San Pascual, Pasadena
