Best Security Gate Services in Phoenix AZ

We recently moved to a new house and it had a big RV gate plus a side gate that were literally falling apart.    In our previous home, we used another gate company (initials are AG and they are a pretty big local company) to do custom gates and doors, and unfortunately the quality was just ok and the price was a premium.   We actually had to have our gates repaired several times within the first year because they just were not engineered right). I pulled out my invoice from them to compare, and asked Sunset Gates to come out for a quote.   Their prices were several hundred dollars less than what we paid for our prior gates.    I read all the reviews and decided to go for it.   Our gates were installed a few days ago and we were thrilled.   The quality is amazing - comparing to our prior gates, these are constructed better, the handles and locking mechanisms are superior, and for the RV gate, it has the double pins that go into the ground (one for each gate) plus one of the pins also accommodates a padlock in addition to the key lock on the handle.  The metal is super solid and the finish is pristine.   I am so happy we took a chance and would not hesitate to recommend Sunset to anyone.   Also comparing to the other company, here is why I say hands down Sunset is better:   Quality is far superior, time from order to delivery was 4 weeks compared to 16 weeks with our other ones, and of course the price was fantastic.    My next door neighbor got a quote when we did but had not ordered yet, and she was super impressed and will be ordering hers soon.   You will not regret using this company!

Alex and his brother helped me with a railing for an outdoor staircase and ledge. He let me know when we started working together that he was really busy but they seemed like one of the best so I was determined to work with them. Even though it took much longer than I would have liked I was amazed with how it turned out. They achieved exactly the look I was going for and the install was a simple one day project. No fuss. I would recommend them to anyone.

Very prompt, which is impressive considering that the job was scheduled on a Sunday. Wonderfully detailed and thorough in that they completely refurbished the gate, more than replace the wooden slats. Sebastian and his partner provided new, pre-treated wood slats and stripped the metal gate. They cleaned, refurbished, repainted and re-leveled the gate. They even replaced the spring. Whoever needs their gates worked on, go with Gates The Right Way!

Would you just look at how beautiful this gate is??  I highly recommend  JM Custom Ironworks, they are professional, communicative and the price & quality are outstanding. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner

Alex and Michael arrived on time at 8 am July 13, 2020 to put kickplate under my RV gate to raise it to the level that I added onto my block wall years ago, which is another 13 inches.  Alex is particularly cheerful and upbeat.  

I was feeling sorry for them that they had to work in 118 degree heat, but they had their setup, which really impressed me, that I took this picture.  A large EZ up with misters!!  I never seen any worker bring such a thing.  

Gate Repairs was willing to match the $350 bid that I got from several other gate businesses (maybe even this same business)  several years ago, but never acted on it.  I did not tell them that my lowest bid this year was $400, but they wrote back that they were willing to match the $350 I got from the past.  I was elated.  I got a bid as high as $1200 from one gate company, and that was only if I put kickplate on top of the gate not at the bottom!

So make sure you get several bids, folks, cos they could be $1000 apart.  

It was hard to get bids on this project because the other gate companies only make new gates, or they do not come out to the job site to install what they make in the shop, due to not being licensed to do installations on site.  

At first they welded the plate on top of  the frame, not inside the frame.    I didn't like that at all, and they already painted it.  They said they didn't weld the plate inside the frame so it looks same on both sides, cos the plate has a tendency to warp.  It is such a little area, like 1 foot high.  I said you could put enough welds in it, even all the way around, not just spot welding here and there, so the plate won't warp.

So they took apart what they did. on that one side, and put metal plate inside the frame, and got my approval.  Sooooo much better!  
Otherwise I would have looked at that plate on the outside of the frame (like a piece of cardboard taped there) and had bad feelings every time I look at it, and for years.  Alex said I just want you to be happy.  I said I was happy with the changes they made.  He said some people like the panel on this side, some like it on the other side.  I said Well you didn't ask me first.  I told him I think they should have asked me.  Maybe they will ask people from now on to avoid having the cost of time and materials to do it over.  .  

I don't know why I put off this gate modification for so long, but I love the Covid quarantine   I got home projects done during this time that I been putting off for 16 years!  

While working, Alex told me they could replace existing wood slats, which  too are too small  for the opening (cos lazy person, not me, buys them ready cut that way, no need to rip each slat) .  Existing wooden slats leaves large gapes in metal frame that people could see me skinny dip in my pool easily   Wood has to be custom ripped to fit between metal, so people cannot see through.  Gate Repairs will paint the wood for me, too.  Alex said he will call Areceli to give me a quote for that.  

On July 30, a different person named Adam showed up with the same Michael who came with Alex on July 18, to replace my gate slats with wider boards so the 1/4 opening on each side no longer exists between the board and the metal frame grid.

They stained the wood at their shop with the Behr Redwood stain 502 I told them to get, and cut it onsite and installed.  Cost $560 after a $100 previous customer discount.

I noticed paint drops and overspray on my brick paving and the concrete.  But Adam insisted that their paint (in spray can) does not make drops like that, but there was also 25 inches overspray you can see in the photo.  Adam said he and Michael painted in the alley, not where the drips are.  No one coulda done that but the gate workers, which Adam said could have been done by Alex last time.  They did not have the right solvent to remove the paint drops so I got my nail polish remover, which well, didn't get it all out, but made a difference.  Areceli at the office both called and emailed me offering for someone to come out again with the right solvent to remove the paint from my pavers, after the guys told the office they did not have the means to remove the paint.

After they left I worked on it for several days with remaining nail polish remover.  I got it out enough so it isn't as noticeable that I could live with, so they do not have to come back again.  But that is why I give them 5 stars, because they were conscientious to come out again to make it right.  

I tell you I really like Alex, the company has a big asset in his upbeat, enthusiastic, cheerful, yes and  I just want you to be happy personality.  I felt Adam was the opposite.  

Here are pictures of raised gate, neat latches they put on free, and their impressive work tent with fans and misters.

We recently expanded our front porch and contacted Deisgner Gates for the fence. They were extremely easy to work with through the entire process. We were provided with multiple options and selected the model we liked best. The quote came in accurate, they arrived on time and only took 2 hours to install!

Would definitely recommend!

Mike Stoker and his team at Steel Creations are the finest steel fabrication shop in phoenix.  They have done work for myself and many of my friends.  True custom work is their specialty.  If you are looking for gates, pool fences, front security doors or most anything else made out of steel.  

All my friends who have used Mike love him and the work his firm has done.

Amazing talent! Not only does Gabe execute precision work and creativity, he can visualize what you are saying and quickly problem solve any obstacles. Gabe has clear communication is punctual and quick to deliver excellent work. Can't wait to have him back!

I am thrilled with my new gate from Tim and Carol @ Just Gates! I asked for a bid on a gate for the interior of my patio that would be similar to the entry gate already there. I was a little concerned when there was a delay for installation.  But no need to worry!  The installed product was well worth the wait. The gate is beautiful and matches the existing gate perfectly!  Thank you Tim and Carol. It was a pleasure working with you and I will enjoy the finished product for many years to come...Highly recommend this professional team!

I contacted Larry because I needed an RV Gate on the side of my house. He came over and spent the time to go over all the details for the type of gate I needed. A week after we met it is installed and done. There is nobody in this business like him. Very prompt, honest and quality work. I wouldn't even waste my time with anybody else. I even got proposals or tried to get a hold of everybody in Phoenix that does RV gates on Yelp. Thanks again Larry.

First, I have to say that I LOVE my new security door.  Simply LOVE IT.  I understand that it might sound extreme, but after the anticipation of ordering and waiting for it to be manufactured and then getting into the installation rotation and finally seeing it in person:  IT'S GORGEOUS.  It was totally worth the wait.

For me, making such a big purchase, I had bit of trouble making a decision.  I finally had to just go down to the showroom and see the doors myself and talk to people there.  They couldn't have been more accommodating.  I was working with Dave who wasn't there so I ended up talking to his co-workers, and I believe, the owner.  Each one took their time with me and put in their two cents about which door they preferred.  I ended up finally taking Dave's original advice.  He was nice enough not to say I told you so.

Are the doors pricey?  Sure they are.  Are they worth it.  I say: yes.  My door is sealed to the outside world so no critters can get in (in addition to bad folks).  This is quality far above what you'd get at Home Depot.

Did I already mention that the door is GORGEOUS?

WE could not be happier with a company... fast response.. EXPERTSin the field... and just great people to do business with..

If you have problem... CALL them..
Frank thank you very much...

And thank you for hiring good people...

After 2 weeks,  can't get a response on an estimate. They didn't contact me back.  They also didn't return my calls even after calling 3 times.

Prompt, professional and fair priced work. I will be recommending them to me Son -In Law and using their services again.

Mike is a true expert in his field. I've had him build me a few custom shipping and work tables. They have all turned out exactly how I wanted them/exactly what I asked for. He's accurate, quick, and easy to work with. If you need any kind of metal fab work done, Mike is your guy.

Absolutely love these designs! Amazing work. Can't wait to have friends and family start using them for all of their designs.

We had our door installed about 6 months ago and when the weather stripping started to come loose First Impression did not hesitate to come over and make the repair. They really stand by their work. I really appreciate a company that values their clients and make repairs without any hassles. I recommend this company hands down.

Not a great first impression. I came to the office off of Dysart and met with Mark. It started off on the wrong note, when he did not greet me coming inside the door. It became worse with conversation. He did not go over the designs with me. Did not get a quote/estimate from him. He seemed like he did not even want my business. Every question I asked was a short response.

I am use to sales consultants upselling products not no selling lol. The doors are beautiful, hence why I wanted to visit the business but the customer service was not up to par.

Very disappointed in this experience

I had my screen door serviced today and the technician Miguel was excellent.  He listened to my issues and concerns and fixed all my issues and gave me tips on keeping my door looking good.  He will be the person I request for any service needs going forward.  A+ service
