### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Mike Rosenthal, Oct. 2022**

> Can’t say enough positive about this company.  We had an issue with a gate they installed several years ago and they were very quick to respond and resolve.  Truly great customer service

**★★★★★ — darylford86, Oct. 2021**

> Our need for a company like Southeast Gateworks was somewhat unique.  A good friend of ours had completed about 70% of our gate when he passed away.  There was work still needing to be done to finish the project, plus install it.   We presented our dilemma to several gate building / installing companies in the Lenoir area; only Southeast Gateworks responded.  Matt and his team helped us get the remaining work completed and the gate installed.  The earnest, energetic, painstaking effort they demonstrated in accomplishing this undertaking was remarkable.  No one would have ever guessed this wasn’t a gate they had built themselves.
>
> My personal belief is that Matt saw an opportunity to remedy a situation that his team had the skill, experience, and ability to fix.  Not simply for revenue, but because some folks needed his help and he was going to make sure they got it.
>
> Southeast Gateworks is a team that has all of the technical skills, experience, and industriousness to successfully complete any project, regardless of complexity.  Throw in honesty, integrity, and most importantly compassion for their customers, and you have a remarkable company.  Can’t go wrong choosing a company like that!

**★★★★★ — Randy Hutton, Feb. 2018**

**★★★★★ — Tim Sexton, Dec. 2016**

> Honest, dependable, top quality products and service.   Matt and his team are excellentllent, dependable, and always perform top quality service.

**★★★★★ — Dan Williams, Dec. 2016**

> Very responsive! Easy to deal with, shows up and does the work as outlined.  Costs are reasonable. I would "Highly" recommend this contractor!

**★★★★★ — ROBERT LaCombe, Dec. 2016**

> Our community purchased a new gate system from Southeast and have been very pleased with the product. Another gate we have at the front entrance has been problematic as it is over ten years old. Matt has been very helpful trouble shooting over the phone and walking me through simple repairs and thereby saving our community expensive service calls. Calls are always answered or returned quickly. Service is the key to any customer satisfaction long term. Five stars for product and service.

**★★★★★ — Gary Whitman, Dec. 2016**

> Everything was GREAT ! They came when they said they were coming and did a Great job. I definitely would hire them again...

**★★★★★ — Frankie Pittman, Dec. 2016**

> I am the secretary/treasurer for a homeowners' association that was in need of an operational entrance gate.  We chose Southeast Gateworks after an extensive selection process, involving multiple companies.  Matt Barnes of Southeast Gateworks provided us with the most detailed estimate.  After personally meeting with him on our property, we contracted with them.  The installation was performed in a prompt, professional manner. After the gate was fully operational, Matt submitted his bill which was actually less than the original estimate.  We are completely satisfied and highly recommend Matt Barnes and Southeast Gateworks.

**★★★★★ — Elliott Harwell, Dec. 2016**

> We have hired Matt and SE Gate Works for several gate and entry feature construction/installation projects over the past few years, and are very pleased with the results.  Matt's attention to detail, product knowledge, reliability, and service after the sale make a pleasure to work with his company.  I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for these type services.

**★★★★★ — Gordon Mortin, Dec. 2016**

> Southeast Gate Works, LLC has serviced Mayview Manor I Condominium Association's automatic gates on several occasions.  The gates were almost 30-years old. The gate openers were both technologically out of date and parts very difficult to obtain.  We finally had to replace the openers and Southeast Gate Works provided the best cost and have provided great follow-up service.  We continue to use them for maintenance highly recommend the company and its services.

**★★★★★ — pamandwarren, Dec. 2016**

> After having many issues with a community entrance gate, we found Southeast Gate.  Matt identified the problem, provided a thorough and prompt repair estimate, and when we approved the repairs he coordinated all of the work and completed the repairs on schedule as promised.  Such a pleasure to work with a competent professional.

**★★★★★ — Jerry Maldonado, Aug. 2016**

> Southeast Gate Works provided us with not only a gate system but peace of mind.  Their Staff is very knowledgeable and attentive to our concerns and needs.  they spent the time to not only put in a superior product , but to educate us and support us after the facts .  They get the job done right

## Community Q&A

**Q: Is there a gate available that would match this fence?** *(in Product Questions)*

A: We would be glad to build you a custom gate to match your fence.

**Q: Love your work but have a couple of logistical questions** *(in Photo Questions)*

First, what do you do for folks who need in when you are not home, say garbage pickup. Also, what about UPS or FedEX?  Do you have a drop at the gate or give them a code or something?

A: Arthur, thank you for your complements.  Most of our residential customers give delivery drivers a code to use.  A more secure method is the large dropbox as you suggested.  Others are very selective about who they give codes to but still require packages to be delivered to the house.  Most everyone carries a cell phone so we use a telephone entry to give drivers access in this case.  This allows you to grant access to any visitor while at home or away.

**Q: automated point-of-entry system connected to a video feed & iphone** *(in Photo Questions)*

Anyone have recommendations for a remote entry/access system that I can allow people to enter gate from my phone, as well as maybe from inside the home?  Thanks!

A: http://www.selectses.com/products/products/select-gate-series/  
This is a nice telephone entry system we use often.  You might want to have it installed with the optional flush trim ring.

**Q: Would love to know where I could get a gate like that. Thank you!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: We would be glad to build one for you.

**Q: Love the gate. What type of wood?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The wood looks to be select grade western cedar.

**Q: No one seemed to answer what the wall covering is and where to find it** *(in Photo Questions)*

Would love to know...

A: Appears to be birch bark.  Bark House likely has this product.  You can search for them on houzz or just click this link- Bark House
