Garland Gate Pros provides professional welding & gate fabrication in Garland, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Dallas metroplex. We run our own metal shop, so much of our work is repair, not replacement. When a gate here goes wrong the metal is usually fine and the geometry is not, and geometry is fixed with a jack, a level and a welder rather than a purchase order.
The most common job on the truck is a leaning hinge post. Clay works a post out of plumb over a few seasons, the leaf starts to drag, and everything downstream gets worse. We cut the post free, drill a proper pier below the layer that moves, re-set the post plumb, re-hang the gate, and then reset the operator's force limits to the corrected geometry. The gate that comes back is the gate you originally bought.
Beyond that: re-squaring a racked leaf, splicing in a new bottom rail where water sat and rusted the tube, rebuilding hinge boxes, adding a steel frame inside a wood gate that never had one, fabricating brackets and baseplates, and welding up damage from a vehicle strike. Mobile welding means most of this happens in your driveway in a single visit. Most of it is a single visit with no second trip.
New fabrication runs through the same shop. Gates, fence panels, handrails, security screens, custom brackets and one-off parts, cut and welded to drawings rather than assembled from stock kit parts. Because we fabricate what we install, a repair five years later comes back to the people who built it and matches what is already there. Drawings, not kit instructions, are what the shop works from.
Finish is part of the fabrication, not an afterthought. We blast, pretreat, hot-dip galvanize where the exposure calls for it, and powder coat in house so nobody can point at somebody else when a coating fails at the corners. Batch records are kept so a later touch-up matches the original color. We keep offcuts of the profiles we use, which is why repairs match.
A test we apply before quoting any repair is whether the tube still has sound metal to weld into. We wire-brush the suspect area, sound it with a hammer, and where a bottom rail has been holding water we drill a small hole and look at the wall thickness. Metal thinned from the inside will burn through under an arc no matter how good the welder is, and that is when a splice becomes the honest answer.
If you are not sure whether something is worth repairing, ask. We will tell you when a frame has rusted past the point where welding into it is honest, and we will also tell you when the quote you are holding for a full replacement is solving a two-hour problem. Second opinions are free, and we give plenty of them on gates we did not build. If the answer is replace it, we will say so.

Materials, equipment and how we do welding & gate fabrication
The difference between welding & gate fabrication that lasts and welding & gate fabrication that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, powder-coated aluminum gates, truck-rated cantilever slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Garland job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of gate work in the Dallas metroplex means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
