First time that I've had a gate so I reached out to Gate Doctors for maintenance. They were able to…read moreget me an appointment the next day. Mike was AMAZING. He took the time to explain the entire system to me, as well as what he would be doing and what kind of maintenance and other things to expect with owning a gate. He also answered some dumb questions I had and was so nice and pleasant. He was even super nice to my dog! If Mike is any representation of the rest of the company, then I can't recommend them highly enough.

Little far from our home, but they were ok, to come down past south Austin. THANK YOU. CHRIS took my call and was polite as professional as well. He seemed to understand the problem too. The was a guy that came out yesterday, but I was not here. My appointment was made for today and gentleman arrived early which was fantastic, so I could get back to my business. Michael Llamas parked outside the gate in front of my estate. He was professional and knowledgeable in his electrical work. Very honest and let me understand what was going on in the electrical box with circuit board, battery etc. Also, he was polite and patient with me as he knew my husband passed away not too long ago. As an electrical mechanical head engineer, my husband, Bobby could fix 99% of things at his profession throughout U.S.A. as International. Of course, here if needed. Now, I have to trust other men to sometimes come out to help here if need be. GATE DOCTORS is the best and honest. I WOULD RECOMMEND GATE DOCTORS company IN A FLASH!!!! Qualified men who get to the problem right away and courteous. Makes all the difference when you are working with many different customers. Michael said if there are any other issues, just to call GATE DOCTORS and he or somebody from office will arrive at my estate again to help. I did speak with Evan, owner after Michael went on his way to next appt. to help another and mentioned to Evan what a great service electrical tech. he has as Christ who was on phone. Thanks, Evan, for speaking today. Blessings to this fine establishment. Sarah Kate and my husband above Bobby

We have a ground level wooden patio with a metal veranda that was in sore need of having the…read morefloorboards replaced. Initially, we planned to do the work ourselves. We bought/stained pressure treated lumber and did the demo work of pulling up the old porch. We soon discovered to our dismay that the underlying frame and columns holding up the veranda were varying degrees of rotted-out and needed to be replaced entirely. We wanted the job done right, and so we decided to find a contractor to work with. After doing some research on Yelp, I reached out to a handful of deck building specialists. Originally, Deck N Cable Railing wasn't even on my radar. Yelp has the function that if you click a button, it'll automatically duplicate your request and send it to an additional handful of businesses. I didn't even realize that I had accidentally done this. I'm so glad I did because Deck N Cable Railing was one of the businesses that Yelp sent my way. First off, they were very fast at responding to my request for info. They reached out, asked for a bit of additional information, and then offered to come out to give a free estimate in person within 24 hours. Juan Pena, the owner, arrived on time for the appointment. He listened attentively to our needs and evaluated the job that needed to be done quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly. He was sensitive to our desire to not let the lumber we had already bought/stained go to waste and made a plan to utilize it. He was also able to give us a quote on the spot which was really helpful. On the day of the installation, Juan arrived with his crew members, Jovial and Alejandro, to help get this situated for the job before he left for the day to attend to other projects. Jovial and Alejandro spoke limited English, but they used their smartphones and Google Translate to communicate with me when a question came up and so communication worked out just fine. Jovial and Alejandro were friendly, professional,and very hard workers. They were fast and fastidious and kept the job site neat. Juan had said that it may take up to two days to finish the job, but his crew were almost complete by the end of the first day. There was a minor issue with the frame visibly sticking out just a bit at one corner of the terminating edge of the porch. It wasn't a structural issue, more of a minor cosmetic issue, but I discussed the issue with Juan, and he immediately came up with a suitable solution to address my concerns. He joined Jovial and Alejandro on the morning of the second day of the installation to personally inspect their work. The job was finished within an hour or two on the second day. All in all, Juan and his team did an excellent job with the porch. It looks fantastic and feels exceptionally sturdy. We're very happy with the quality of the work, and we are looking forward to enjoying it for many years to come. We'd recommend Deck N Cable Railing without reservation based on the quality and efficiency of their work alone, but that's not the only reason you should consider giving them a call. Juan was very easy to work with. He's professional, responsive, friendly, and conscientious. He takes a lot of pride in his work and it's important to him that his clients are 100% satisfied with the work done. Moreover, his pricing is very reasonable. His quote for the job was by far the most reasonably and competitively priced bid. Finally, and this is a bit embarrassing, I accidentally overpaid for the job. I paid Juan in cash, handing him an envelope with cash, without realizing that I had miscounted it. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from Juan that evening (apologizing for calling so late!), to let me know that I overpaid him, and he wanted to schedule a time when it was convenient for me for him to stop by in person to return the amount I overpaid. That's integrity, folks. If, like me, Deck N Cable Railing isn't on your radar, they should be. Solid 5 stars.

This company is a joke and all they want to do is upsell you. Beware of this company!

Over the course of…read morethree separate visits in less than a week, two different technicians came out, charged me $400 total for various repairs, and the unit's performance never changed -- still couldn't hit the temperature I needed. On one visit, the technician left without saying a word to me and left my front door unlocked on his way out. I didn't know he'd left or what he'd done. I later found out he hadn't actually done anything to address the issue. When I called back to say the problem still wasn't fixed, "Greg" called me and was condescending -- explained basic AC function to me, and claimed Austin "doesn't even want" my AC at 72 degrees when it's 100 outside. It hasn't been 100 degrees, and I was only trying to cool the house at night, when outdoor temps are much lower -- so his explanation didn't even apply to my situation. He also told me to call the city to have them check if my AC unit was part of some "green homes" program. When I said I'd never heard of that, he admitted he hadn't either -- so I'm not sure why he suggested it. Three paid visits, $400, no fix, an unlocked house, and a dismissive callback that included advice he couldn't even back up. Can't recommend.

Summary: Travis, Amanda, Cade, and his team provide a fast, affordable, quality, and total turnkey…read moresolution for our automated gate. Bidding, construction, and gate commissioning were a breeze. All team members were extremely professional, knowledgable, and responsive. Detail: We reviewed four companies in the Austin area for a fence extension and automated gate for security purposes. Absolute Fence & Gate were outstanding to work with: they came in cheaper than all other alternatives, were the most responsive with clear communication, and were very knowledgable about the options within our space. Amanda was extremely responsive and helped us scope out our initial ask to coordinate an onsite bid walk quickly and helped sort out billing. Travis helped develop our initial concept for a gate into an efficient, turn-key solution that would abide by local codes and fit within our budget. After clarifying our scope, the project was completed at a lightning pace. They staggered the required demo of our old fence until the day they'd be able to erect the fencing to minimize the amount of time our house was exposed to the street. The work crews were very professional and Travis and his team clearly explained the scope each day and progress updates. In addition, Cade and the gate operator crew were outstanding. They set up the motor and made sure all items were functional tested. They did a terrific job commissioning the equipment and explaining how to use it. The commissioning team also noted that our gate operator had a minor issue and contacted the manufacturer for a same-day under warranty solution. The level of service was outstanding, and I was very pleased to have a total turnkey solution. During the construction, Travis would check in with the teams and ensure quality work which resulted in zero punch items at final walk. Travis even performed a final QA check on the operator to make sure operation was up to their quality standard. Every team member was very knowledgeable and professional. They provided excellent advice and suggestions and helped us craft our gate idea into a solution with a terrific product!
