When a gate sticks, grinds, or refuses to budge, you don’t need promises. You need a repair that holds. At Carver Gate Repair Woodland Hills we put that in writing, on every single job, before we touch a tool. Here’s the short version: we give you a written price before any work starts, we back every repair with a written guarantee good for a full year from the date of service, and if that repair fails inside the guarantee window, we come back and fix it free. No charge, no argument, no fine print. Lonnie Burke, Owner, has run this shop on a simple rule: the gate opens and closes every time, or we’re not done.
What’s Covered
- Workmanship on every repair. If a weld fails, a hinge binds, or a motor we installed acts up within 365 days, we return and make it right at no cost to you.
- Parts we supply and install. We stand behind the components we put on your gate. When a part we installed is defective, we replace it and cover the labor to do so.
- Clean site, every time. We leave your driveway and gate area the way we found them. No metal shavings, no greasy handprints on the stucco, no empty boxes left by the curb.
- On-time arrival, honest windows. We give you a real arrival window and we hit it. If traffic on the 101 or a job in Calabasas runs long, you hear from us before the window closes, not after.
- Written price before work starts. The number we quote is the number you pay. We don’t open the gate, find a surprise, and grow the invoice. If we find something unexpected, we stop, we show you, and we get your approval in writing before proceeding.

Our Satisfaction Promise
If a repair we performed fails inside the guarantee window, you call us and we come back. Free. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s not a marketing line. It’s printed on every repair document we hand a homeowner in Woodland Hills. You don’t pay a second service fee, you don’t pay for parts, and you don’t have to convince anyone that the failure is our responsibility. We troubleshoot it, we fix it, and we leave. If for any reason you’re not satisfied with how a job went, even if the gate technically works, tell us. We’d rather come back and adjust a sensor or rebalance a sagging leaf than have you live with a gate that irritates you every time you pull in. Lonnie runs this business on repeat customers and neighbor referrals in Woodland Hills, Tarzana, and Encino, not on one-and-done jobs. That means every callback is an opportunity to prove the guarantee means something, and every finished job is a reputation on the line.
Licensed & Insured Backing
Paperwork is only as good as the company behind it, which is why we carry the credentials a Woodland Hills homeowner should demand from anyone touching a gate system. We’re licensed and insured to perform gate repair and installation in California. That insurance protects your property while we work on it and protects you from liability if something goes sideways on the job. Every technician we send is background-checked and uniformed, so when the van pulls up, you know exactly who you’re letting onto your property. As part of the Garrison Partners family, we also operate to The Garrison Standard, a set of operating rules that has governed how our crews work since 2008. The Garrison Code covers the things that don’t fit on an invoice: clean work sites, straight answers, respect for your time, and accountability when something isn’t right. That’s the real backing behind our guarantee.

AfterWhat The Guarantee Does Not Pretend To Be
Let’s be straight about one thing, because Lonnie would rather you know this up front. No honest gate company guarantees a 20-year-old motor will never fail again. What we guarantee is our work and the parts we supply. If your gate system has underlying age or damage that makes a repeat failure likely, we’ll tell you before we take the job. We’d rather lose a repair than hand you a guarantee we know we’ll be eating in six months. That’s not clever business. It’s just not lying to a neighbor. And in Woodland Hills, where gates take a beating from dry heat and canyon dust, straight talk about what will and won’t hold up matters more than a pretty warranty paragraph.
How The Guarantee Works In Practice
Say we replace a swing gate operator in Woodland Hills in March. In October, the gate starts reversing for no reason. You call us. A live person answers, because our phones are staffed around the clock, seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. We pull your job record, confirm the date of service, and schedule a return visit. The technician diagnoses the problem. If it’s our workmanship or a part we installed, the repair costs you nothing. If it turns out a tree root shifted the gate post, that’s a new issue and we’ll quote you a written price before doing anything. You’ll always know which is which before the work happens. No vague “we’ll take care of it” that turns into an invoice later.
What Woodland Hills Homeowners Should Ask Any Gate Company
Before you hire anyone to work on your gate, here’s what we’d want to hear if we were on your side of the call. Ask if the guarantee is written. A verbal “we’ll make it right” isn’t worth the breath it takes to say. Ask how long the workmanship coverage runs. If the answer is 90 days, understand that’s the company telling you how long they expect their own work to last. Ask if the price is written before work starts. If the company won’t commit to a number until they’ve opened the gate, expect that number to grow. Ask if a live person answers the phone. When your gate is stuck open at 10pm and your dog is making a break for Ventura Boulevard, a voicemail is not the answer you want. We answer these questions the same way every time: written guarantee on every repair, good for a full year. Written price before any work starts. Live person on the phone, any hour, any day. That’s The Garrison Standard, and that’s what we’ve operated to since 2008.
What To Expect When You Call Carver Gate Repair Woodland Hills
You call (650) 719-7207. A person answers. You describe what the gate is doing, or not doing. We schedule a visit, give you a real arrival window, and send a background-checked, uniformed technician who works on the nine major gate motor brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. The technician diagnoses the problem, explains it in plain English, and hands you a written price before touching anything. You approve the work, we do it, we test it, we clean up, and we hand you a written guarantee that covers the repair for a full year. If anything fails inside that window, we come back free. That’s the whole system. It works because it’s simple, and it’s simple because Lonnie Burke built it to be the kind of company he’d want working on his own gate.
