My driveway gate motor died after many years and Rick's replaced it. It took a few days to get the installation scheduled, but they did the job in a way I originally thought was acceptable. I quickly needed to have someone come back to adjust the range of the remote control and the speed of opening and closing, and thought technician Brett had gotten it straightened out. However, he was unable to figure out how to re…

I was skeptical when Brett called to arrange the service appointment. I was calling Ri…

I've met Rick on a few occasions. He's done work for our HOA a few times. The work and price seems fair. However, this review is specific to David Starr at the company. We received an invoice for $178.32 in 2015. David sent us a note on 10/24/16 informing us of an outstanding invoice. We received the note promptly and sent a check. We noted that Rick's Gate Works cashed the check on 10/31/16. This is where the probl…
