AfterGate Repair Specials in San Mateo, CA
We’re running these offers because San Mateo homeowners shouldn’t have to guess what gate repair costs before a technician shows up. Call (650) 293-9440 and mention the offer you want when you speak with our dispatcher. Every special below still comes with the Haven Standard: written price before work starts, documented photo record, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Current Offers
Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate
Bring us a written estimate from another gate company and we’ll review it at no cost. We check the parts specified, the labor line items, and whether the proposed repair matches the actual failure we find. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, we’ll also give you our own written price if you’d like us to do the work.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (650) 293-9440.
Seasonal Gate Tune-Up - $89
Includes full hardware inspection, photo-eye alignment check, limit-switch verification, lubrication of hinges and rollers, and a documented photo record of everything we find. Recommended every spring after the rainy season in San Mateo, when moisture exposure accelerates hinge corrosion on coastal-facing properties.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (650) 293-9440.

We’ll survey the existing gate and operator, assess power and wiring paths, and deliver a written scope with line-item pricing. No obligation to proceed.
