Testimonials

For more than a decade

For more than a decade George and Laura have been providing excellent service to keep or gate in top condition. George even stepped me through an electronics fix to my speakerphone that I could complete on my own (at no charge). Thanks for the recent controller arm upgrade – everything is functioning perfectly (and faster too).

We want to thank you for all the fine work in installing our gate. There were a lot of delays on our side during COVID, so we fully appreciate the way you helped us resolve the various challenges. We also appreciate coming in on estimate, despite all the uncertainties and price changes during Covid.  The gate works great.

 Much appreciated. Neil and Deidre.

Best Service.

Thank you for the very best service!

Knowledgeable service.

I found George very knowledgeable on Gate maintenance. We have a lift master system and he replaced the auto exit car sense probe, adjusted the timing on the twin gate closure and shimmed one gate which had sagged somewhat (so would not close properly). He was very prompt and efficient at attending our site, and explaining what he had done and why.

Gate service

Gate was just serviced by George and Laura. There was a ghost in the machine. Bit of a head scratcher. At the end of the day George found a solution and the gate is functioning with perfection. We love our gate.

I met George on site, he completed the work and gate is fully operational. He then provided me with instructions on how to operate gate manually if ever necessary. I am well pleased with the quality of the work. Thank you.

Thank George for coming so promptly!

Randy July 2020

George and Laura are a great team. George installed our gate in 2012 and we love it and still get compliments about it.               Great after installation service, which is very important because once the gate is installed they don’t just forget about you. They are there to fix any troubles you may have over the years, though for me they have always been minor.           Thank you George and Laura.

Dear George:
I had a most miraculous discovery on Saturday morning when I went to
leave the property in my car! The gate was functioning…
Kevin said you had been
and installed the new operator for the gate. I am so
appreciative of your help with fixing it George. Thanks so much.
This experience has lead me to
believe I made the right decision and I am really grateful for your service.
Thanks so much.

Really appreciate George going to site and checked every thing over. Definitely recommend GEM.

Kevin, re Maggie’s site. Mar 2020

I must say you offer the fastest customer service of any company I have talked to about the gate!

Shirley    May 2006

That gate light job, that shows us if the gate is open, is brilliant – absolutely brilliant ! I don’t know how we did without for so long.

I am EXTREMELY “pleased” with your/our gate. It is one of a kind, sheer artwork and suits our home to a tee. The hydraulics, etc are impressive as well.

Sincerely, Ellen & Ken       Oct 2006

We just wanted to tell you how fabulous the gate looks. The proportions are so perfect – the posts, the rectangles, the thickness of every line. As the Italians say, you have “un bel’occhio” (a beautiful eye) !

Peter & Mia     Mar 2015

Thank you again for doing such a superb job on our new gate.    You do excellent work and inspire total confidence.

Thanks and best regards, Peter & Mia       Apr 2015

Thanks for the pictures. The gate looks great!   The gate meets and has exceeded all our expectations. The end product looks better than we anticipated. The quality of the work is exceptional and the design is what we had in mind but could not visualize.   We look forward to seeing you in April.

Many thanks, Colin & Maritza      Mar 2006

We just had an 80th birthday party here, everyone admired the grilles and gate, appreciating security that is decorative and low profile.

George from G.E.M. Fabrications went above and beyond with the creation and installation of our new gate . Every time we enter our driveway we enjoy its beauty and quality. George recommended we use steel instead of aluminum and was he ever right … Our gate is solid and will last for years to come . The automation is easy to use both from our vehicle and inside the house. George called and showed up on time …every time . Would highly recommend and use again … Thanks George!!!
