Michael took charge of installing an automatic gate opener in a difficult situation involving a downslope driveway. I am mobility compromised and getting in/out of car to deal with gate was a problem. The auto gate opener is a game changer for me and Michael did a fabulous job. Took the time needed to do the job correctly. Gate works perfectly and my life is easier! He is readily available for support, which is an added plus. Highly recommended! read more

Mike is an amazing business owner. He conducted himself with the utmost of professionalism in repairing my electric gate. On time, very clear with his assessment and repaired just as he planned. He's honest and has a lot of integrity. Rare these days. I will not hesitate to call him again with any other issues. Highly recommended! read more

We used Mike's service to install our driveway gate opener and program all remote controls. Eight years later the main control board failed due to water infiltration into the box. We called Mike again. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Great service. Quick response. Reasonable prices. read more

Mike came out promptly to evaluate our automatic gate issue. When we had questions regarding how it was being repaired, he came out without hesitation, and explained to us.

I had an excellent experience with Gate and Access Pros. I had an electric gate that wasn't working. Mike came out and explained my options very clearly. He replaced the motor, and set everything up well. He was responsive, professional and did the work as promised. 8 months later, the gate wasn't working and I called him. He responded immediately and came out to check. The wiring was lose on the plug (our error), but he quickly fixed everything and made sure everything was working. His timely response, professionalism and quality work made for a very positive experience. Great follow up service as well. I would highly recommend! read more

I just got motors for my gate replaced by Michael. He gave a quote in the morning and got the job done by evening on the same day. He and his crew are professional, highly competent and professional. I highly recommend him. read more

I hired Mike to install metal and wood fencing back in 2018 to my front property with an electric gate. The work took longer then what Mike said it would be. I had to get a fence up to increase security because of theft on our property by homeless people. Mike asked for a check every week, even though the work was never done and now I know why. He later admitted to me after the work was done that he was doing someone "a favor". This was illegal and I should've reported him to BBB. SACRAMENTO --The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) is alerting California consumers who are considering hiring a painter, landscaper - or any other type of construction contractor - that it is illegal to ask for or accept a down payment of more than 10 percent of the total home improvement contract price or $1,000, whichever is less. (http://www.cslb.ca.gov/Media_Room/Press_Releases/2012/August_15.aspx) The person he hired to do the work did a poor job aligning the base to the movable gate. Which i had to have another company come out and straighten it. The fence line wasnt leveled and the concrete job around the posts was incomplete. Mike never came out to supervise or check on the work. We started off with solar panels but the charge didnt hold so I ended up have to hire another company to break into the concrete for electrical access. I wrote a review on YELP and the man literally drove to my house in Concord the next day while I was at work, and demanded to my mother that I take down the post and he would pay me back some money. The only reason why im posting this is because i have since moved and didn't want mike to return to our house to demand to remove the yelp review and harass us. Looks like he wronged other customers in 2018 and maybe he changed to be a more ethical, humblel and professional business man. Good for him! I recommend you know the rules about what contractors can ask for in payment and document everything. And becarful and dont write a bad review. He may call you back to back, visit you, demand and pay you to remove the review. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Gate and Access Pros. Earlier this year, I reached out a few different companies about replacing an existing driveway gate that had been improperly installed by a non-licensed individual, and was tilting due to its overly excessive weight. Ended up making the decision to hire Gate and Access Pros after talking with Mike (the owner). What sealed the decision was Mike's patience in answering my questions, and his candor in discussing different options and estimated costs. Also while we had to replace our gate and have new gate posts installed, Mike was able to re-use our old motor even though I would have been open to buying a new one. Mike made it clear that a new motor wasn't necessary as long as the gate was a reasonable weight, and installed correctly. Definitely appreciated that Mike was trying to save me money. Mike's team was efficient at getting the new gate installed and did great work. Mike came by a number of times to check on his team's progress and ensure that everything was going smoothly. He is clearly somebody who takes pride in his work and wants to ensure his clients are happy. Highly recommended. read more

I had a really good experience with Mike. He came out almost immediately after I contacted him. He took a look at my gate and explained to me very thoroughly all of the things he would do to motorize it. He took the time to explain everything very clearly. Then within a week, the gate was motorized just as he said! I have a dual swing gate that is on a hilly street, so he had to do some clever maneuvering to get the gate to function properly (i.e. a sensor and broad reflector mounted in a very precise location). I'm also in a very sunny area, so he went ahead and hooked up a solar panel to power the gate. Very cool. My area is also very windy sometimes so he took that into account and used commercial grade gate motors that would be able to withstand the extreme wind. After the install he gave me a thorough orientation to my new motorized gate. I really appreciate the comprehensive, communicative approach he took. I highly recommend this company! read more

Very professional and responsive. He answered his phone, returned messages quickly, diagnosed the issue with our gate operator and provided us several options. He was able to install a new device one day prior to our vacation which gave us peace of mind. Upon our return we discovered a small issue with the system. Michael was quick to respond to provide a solution. I hire many service providers and would rank Michael in the top 5 best of all time. read more

Our Automatic gate failed, I called and/or emailed several companies, Mike was the first to respond and came the very next day. He is a great communicator and technician. The repairs were made quickly, and the price was very fair. Often times I mention my location and the price goes up. I would highly recommend Mike and his team, certainly if needed I will call upon him again. read more

We have a really steep road and our gate needed a new closer and control board along with sensors and power. This install was %100 percent uphill, literally. Michael first impressed me with his understanding of not only what I wanted (a very long low voltage feed to the gate due to steep terrain) but also his dedicated approach to not only giving me what I wanted but also making sure that everything was done in a way that it would function reliably without issues due to the atypical install. He was very adamant about not putting his name on an install that would not perform trouble free for years so he made sure to crunch all of the numbers needed to use the proper size and grade of wire and materials for this. He and his top notch installer Santiago came way out over the hill and through the woods in a timely enough fashion (up here sometimes they don't come at all!) and in a few days our gate was working like it should. This was NOT a typical nor easy install and they aced it. Not only that, the availability to answer the couple of follow up questions I have had has been stellar. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone else out there in need of a working gate even if you have a hurdle or two you need to overcome in doing it, they can get it done. read more

See all

Mike is good in service and did excellent job on fixing my gate problems. he is punctual and I like his quick response to service. I will be using him from now on. read more

I have never had a better experience with a service individual than Mike of Gate and Access Pros. The recent winds bent my driveway gate inside-out, leaving me stuck. Mike came out within an hour of my phone call, and in the driving wind and rain got to work fixing it. He could not have been more gracious and friendly in adverse conditions. He was soaked by the end. He even gave me some tips on improving the gate to avoid having the same problem in the future. I cannot recommend Mike and Gate and Access Pros highly enough. He is the type of person you feel good giving your business too and honestly makes you feel better about mankind. read more

Mike is very professional and exceeded our expectations. The gate motor we had was made in China and just not powerful enough to pull the heavy gate. Not only did Mike recommend a much more powerful motor by Lift Master, he added an excellent infrared safety sensor and soft close feature. He was quick to complete the job and we are very happy with his work. Highly recommend! Don't hesitate to call him for your gate needs. read more

Michael and his team did a great job designing and installing our driveway gate. Michael made sure that all of the fine details were set. They worked with our existing fence and driveway contours to make sure it all fit well. Michael came back at the end of the project for a final walkthrough and to help set up the remote and myQ. read more

I have not met a Honest service provider as Mike in a long time. He was thinking from the customer mind frame to come up with unique ways to give me the best possible option financially as well as from time perspective. When I called him for the first time, he answered his phone right away. Even when he is super busy. Did a quick analysis of the problem in less than a minute and scheduled time for a visit. He was prompt and showed up on time. He thoroughly analyzed the problem and gave me 5 different options. I was blown away by his excellent level of service and dedication. I instantly felt like I can trust him without any hesitation. The weather caused unnecessary delays in the work since all the wires were wet but Mike extended his service to come back as soon as the rain stoped. I can guarantee that Mike is not just working for money. He is working to make peoples lives better and give them the best service they can get. His priority is HELPING PEOPLE and the second is making money in the process. Absolutely loved his attitude and glad to know that such people still exist. I HIGHLY recommend Mike for his services. He is a PRO ;) read more

Highly recommended for all your gate needs. When our gate remained stuck in the open position and the original installer did not return our call, we searched for someone that can help us here on Yelp and came across Gate and Access Pros. We called the listed number and Michael picked up right the way. We went over the problem with the gate and Michael said he can come over couple days later on Sunday to check it out. On Sunday morning Michael arrived right on time and started diagnosing the problem. As Michael was checking potential causes, he explained clearly what he was doing and what he was checking. The problem turned out to be a faulty controller board. Since Michael did not have a replacement board on the spot, we agreed on the cost of the replacement and also for him to come back the next day (Monday) to do the installation. On Monday Michael again arrived on time and proceeded to replace the system board. Once again Michael explained what he was doing while replacing the system board and the photo sensor. Before Michael left, he also made sure all the loop sensors are working as expected. Knowledgeable, reliable and efficient. If our gate controller breaks down again, or if we need to replace our gate, Gate and Access Pro will be our first choice. read more

Mike is awesome! He responded my estimate request in 10 min, then he stopped by next day to take a look at my 20 years old gate operator and gate, inspected the wires very carefully and detailed explain to me what need to be done, and gave the estimate price in the end of the day. On the day of the work, he showed up in time and did the job perfectly as he described on that day! I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for driveway gate repair/renew tasks :) read more

Mike responded to my Request for a Quote right away and was at my house in 40 minutes. He spent a good hour diagnosing what turned out to be a very complicated issue with my gate. Ultimately after testing a number of things he concluded that my circuit board/electrical system was shot. He was able to fix the problem the very next day. He would've fixed it day of but he needed time to get me a new circuit board. He even matched the price that a different provider was willing to charge. I was very happy with Mike and will definitely be using him again. read more

I called after receiving some pretty high bids from other companies in Livermore. I spoke with Michael over the phone and he rearranged his schedule to drive from San Jose to meet with me for a quote. He came in under the others which made me happy but the real value was in his attention to detail. It was clear his number one priority was creating a product I would be happy with. Michael and Francisco were phenomenal. They showed a great deal of patience with us and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Michael and Francisco! read more

I had a great experience dealing with Gate and Access Pros for our driveway gate. I called up on a Sunday requesting free estimate to fix our gate that broke down after the recent paver installation on our driveway. Michael promptly returned my phone call and showed up Monday on time for troubleshooting the issue. After thorough checking, he concluded that the electric motor has gone bad. I liked his great attitude to troubleshoot and fix the issue as opposed to recommending me replacing the entire gate operator (like other contractors did). Michael came back again the next day with brand new motors and replaced the broken ones to get our driveway working. Besides fixing the gate, he went out of his way to help with telephone entry system wiring. Overall, it was definitely a five-star service from Gate and Access Pros! read more

My husband ripped up the existing gate that we had with his trailer and was lucky enough to call Mike. He came right away out just like he said and did an amazing job and made my husband so happy. My husband said Mike exceeded his expectation by far. Mike does great work and is really honest and is a good person. It is hard to find people this good nowadays. Thanks so much Mike. We highly recommend him- Vina Rosenberg of Palo Alto read more

Competitive price for installing a gate opener that I bought online. Showed up on time, got the job done quickly, and gave me a tutorial on how to use my new gate opener. Super knowledgeable about all things gate opener. No up-selling. read more

Mike was fantastic...replaced our gate operators very quickly (which was important as they were dead!) and efficiently, cleaned up after, and did it all for a better price than our original gate company quoted. We had some phantom openings the week after installation (we still don't really know why) but he came out and checked within hours of our call and haven't had another experience of that since. Would highly recommend Mike for his quick response time, quality product and service, as well as excellent pricing! read more

Mike was through in his explanation of the problem, recommendation on how to deal with it, and efficient while working.

Our automatic fence stop working and Michael came for a service call after we called and scheduled the appointment. He was very nice at the beginning and it seemed he is very knowledgeable, he says the sensor and the detectors are not working and it will cost $1280 to fix this problem. As my habit is not to go with the first estimate I'm getting I called to another gate company they ask for $65 service call and the entire repair ends for $165. I am very disappointed as a consumer and I will recommend for everyone to shop around. read more

Mike is most definitely a very well rounded gate pro technician/repairman. He's super dependable, knowledgeable, quick to respond, super courteous, and very reasonable. He's totally proficient! He came out and assessed the issue, explained what needed to be done in laymen's term, installed a new box for us, fixed the motor and got everything working again. What I appreciate most is that Mike took time to show me how to manage the system and took my calls whenever I was stuck. Hands down, I recommend Gate and Access Pros (Mike) to anyone that is looking for a proficient technician with great customer service skills that is honest and fair. read more

I called several companies to get an estimate for a gate repair for one of the properties that I manage. The cost to diagnose the issue ranged from $99 to $199. I spoke to Michael and he told me that there is no charge for him to come out. I definitely wanted to work him based on his excellent reviews and getting a free estimate was a no-brainer. He was extremely busy but he was able to check out the gate today, while I was at a meeting. He called to let me know that the motor is working fine but there is a time delay from the keypad. He spent at least a half-hour to make sure the gate worked properly. He told me exactly what needed to be done and did not charge me for his time. He is not a salesperson and emphasized that I do not need an upgrade. He just wanted to save me money. This house is in a nice location and he could have charged me for at least his time. He didn't. When speaking with him, you can tell he has integrity and honesty, but also, he knew his stuff. I definitely recommend Gate and Access Pros! Thank you so much, Michael! read more

Michael and his team installed new liftmaster gate openers on my existing swing gates of many decades old and upgraded the entire system. My usual gate company has a long wait and Michael was able to fit me in immediately which was really important b/c my old gate stopped working. It took a few tries to get it right, but Michael didn't stop trying until they got it completely to my satisfaction. The gate is working beautifully and quietly and looking like it's always been that way. True professional, top customer service, highly recommend! read more

Michael did a brilliant job for upgrading our gate and the video communication system. What to me was most valuable is his recommended solution were of the highest quality and his work style extremely professional and dependable a quality quite rare in the Bay Area. His communication is also very regular keeping you in the loop so you do know what is happening at all time. I would highly recommend Michael and his team for your gate work read more

Mike and team were over-the-top extraordinary, nice and extremely professional. They were competitively priced ensuring we used all the best material.

It was a pleasure working with Mike. He was very customer friendly and took the time to understand what we really wanted even though I was showing him random internet pictures. His work is awesome.

Mike and his team were genuinely quick and honest and highly accommodating. Our fence looks beautiful I would highly recommend!

Mike was great, he really helped us troubleshoot a tricky commercial pedestrian swing gate. He came back multiple times to make sure that the job was done to satisfaction. He was friendly and extremely courteous and professional. I would 100% recommend! read more

Mike came and provide me an estimate for gate operator replacement. I decided to go with him and it turned to be my worst nightmare I was able to imagine! I started feeling uncomfortable when there subcontracts ( other company stickers on the trucks ), they start drilling without any cushions and without calling the pg&e for any case there is gas line underneath at this point I got very concerned and asked Mike to come by and explain what and why the work is done like that? I asked if he is licensed contractor and he claim he is I asked for the license number in order to chack online but he keep saying he will send it to me over later on in the day. I never got his contractor license number and they left a big mess in my driveway without cleaning up even. Will recommend to chack really cheerfully with who you doing business with. read more
