Rolling Gate Repair

Uggh!  After almost 2 inches of rain Tuesday Night, one of 4 Seasons Homes Services clients in North Dallas called us with a major problem.  She could not get her wooden gate across her driveway to open.  Not a big deal if you walk to work, but her car was blocked in and she needed to go.

The good news is that we offer all types of Garage Door Service, Overhead Door Service, Remote Gate Service and Rollaway Gate Service.  For more information, go to http://www.4sdfw.com/ or click on http://www.4sdfw.com/4SDFW/Overhead_Doors.html 

We see lots of calls for these rolling driveway gates not operating after a big rain.  The reason is that the wood on the gate takes on a lot of water during a heavy storm.  This causes the gate to weigh double what it normally does, and puts a strain on the opening device or causes the gate to come off of the rolling track.

We were able to get her out and off to work, but the long term solution is not to repair the gate operator.  It is to seal the wood on the gate so it does not take on water.  4 Seasons Home Services is able to cover both of these types of repairs.  Through our Handyman Division, we can do almost any major or minor repair to a home inside or out.  For more information of how we can serve you in the Dallas area, please visit our website at http://www.4sdfw.com/4SDFW/Handyman.html or call 214-550-0311.
