Trustworthy —I called for a quote on my gate opener, but received so much more. I came across someone trustworthy. He not only tested my battery, but the fuse and board.Leaving no stone unturned.Leaving only the actuator arm. I was told that it could be done today. Amazing!!! The company before checked the battery and said the battery, board and arm were bad. There was something missing here...trust! A&J, I appreciate the service and the trust. You have my business.
REGGIE M. – KATY, TX
These guys are awesome!—We had been having issues with our gate for some time but had difficulty getting anyone out to us. My dogs got out of the yard one day and in a panic, I found A&J's number. Annette on the phone was wonderful, as a fellow dog lover, she was kind and helpful and arranged to have someone out within a few hours. James arrived on time, was honest about the issues with the gate, fixed it temporarily on the spot and arranged for another appt within 48 hours for the permanent fix. All was done timely, cost effectively and professionally. No hesitation in recommending them to anyone!

STEVE S. – KATY, TX
A pleasure to work with..—James and his apprentice Marco came to repair my driveway gate this morning. From the time I first contacted them yesterday, they could not have been more pleasant to work with. They came out this morning, quickly discovered the problem, performed the repair and even gave me credit for a $30 coupon that was on the website that I didn’t know about. Very reasonable prices and you won’t find nicer people!!
LISA M. – SUGAR LAND, TX
Great customer Service!!— I contacted James at 9:30 in the morning and by 12:30 he was at my rental property to see why the remote controls were not working to open the entrance gate. It was a quick and easy fix. I highy recommend James for his quick response and for solving my remote control issue. If I have any further gate issues I know I can count on James to come to the rescue!! Anne F Houston, Tx
