Meet the Garland Team Behind Vance Gate Repair Garland
Most gate companies send whoever is available. We send someone we’d trust on our own driveway. Our Garland crew has been working together for years, and each person on it carries the same habit: name the problem, write the price, start only when you say go. Between the four of us, we’ve repaired or installed more than 22,000 gates since 2014. When one of our trucks pulls up in Garland, you know exactly who’s getting out, what they’re going to do, and what it costs before the first tool comes off the rack.
Our People
Adrian Vance, Owner
Adrian started Vance Gate Repair in 2014 after a decade running commercial access-control installations, where a wiring diagram was not a courtesy, it was a contract. He carries that same documentation habit into residential work. His hands still get dirty on difficult jobs, which means when you call with a question about a LiftMaster operator or a misaligned photo-eye, the answer comes from someone who has actually made the repair, not someone reading from a script. He’s the reason every visit ends with a written record of what was found and what was installed. When he’s not chasing a gate issue, you’ll find him tinkering with a stubborn wood gate that refuses to close square, which he insists is character, not a defect.
Marcus T., Lead Technician
Marcus has been with Vance Gate Repair Garland for eight years and handles the heavy diagnostic work. If a gate opens but won’t close, or a Viking operator trips its breaker twice a week, Marcus is usually the one who figures out why. He’s the technician who can tell you that a limit switch was set 12 degrees past travel simply by watching the arm hesitate. His specialty is motor and opener repair across all nine brands we service, from BFT to Elite to Linear. Off the clock, he rebuilds small engines, which explains why he talks about torque and limit settings the way most people talk about football.
Sarah R., Service Coordinator
Sarah is the person who answers when you call Vance Gate Repair Garland, and she has a reputation for knowing the schedule better than anyone else in the company. If you call at 2 a.m. because your gate is stuck open and your dog is eyeing the street, Sarah picks up. She dispatches every job, confirms technician names and photos before arrival, and makes sure the written estimate gets emailed before the truck rolls. Before joining Vance, she managed logistics for a local freight company, so the idea of tracking every job and documenting every step is second nature to her. She keeps a running list of every neighborhood in Garland where we’ve worked, mostly so she can tell a customer “we’re already near you” instead of making them wait.
Diego M., Senior Installer
Diego leads our gate installation and welding work in Garland, with eleven years in steel fabrication before he joined Vance Gate Repair. He’s the reason a new gate hangs square the first time and the reason a rusted hinge gets welded back stronger than the original joint. His work covers full gate installation, gate parts repair, and structural welding, and he takes the same documentation photos on every job, whether he’s replacing a post or building a new frame from scratch. Diego is quietly proud of the fact that his welds outlast the gates they hold together. On weekends, he and his daughter restore old bicycles, which he says is just welding with smaller parts.
One Standard, Every Job

The Garland team runs on one rule: the written price comes first. Every technician carries the same service standard across every job, from a broken chain on a residential swing gate to a full automated gate installation on a commercial property in Garland. Before any work starts, you get a flat price on paper. Before anyone leaves, you get a photo record of what was found, what was adjusted, and what was replaced, left with you and filed in our records. That’s the Haven Standard, and Adrian holds every technician to it the same way he held himself to it when he was the only one on the job. You’ll see it in the way Marcus explains a limit switch adjustment, in the way Sarah confirms your technician’s name and photo before dispatch, and in the way Diego walks you through what he’s about to weld. For every job completed, our 365-Day Done Right Promise stays on file: if the repair isn’t right, we make it right, no argument and no fee. One year to hold us to it, and we answer the phone when you call on day 364.
