First, let me say I am a techie guy, an Engineer by degree, and have lived in rural Texas most of my life. Charlie Barnett is the best welder and gate guy we have found in South Texas - and he is a fun guy to work with, as well as being a good Christian. And we have been working with him for over 10 years now, starting with our first electric gate, then expanded it a bit, and just replaced the whole thing (after out teen driver drove a truck through it). Excellent custom metalwork and gate design, plasma-cut custom shapes, very good welds (no bubbles, no slag). I cannot brag about Charlie's work enough. And he has dozens of fancy gates all around the Hill Country area and beyond. Ask him to show you some pictures. (He lives just outside of Boerne and has a pretty cool gate at his home too! Plus he has a website at BarnettGates.com ) read more

I recently had my gate redone and the gentleman that installed it installed it incorrectly which made it impossible to attach my electric opener. I contacted several companies and had several different technicians come out and look at it nobody was able to remedy the problem I was told about Mr. Barnett and his company, I contacted him and he came out right away and assessed the problem and a week later my gate was fixed. I find his prices to be extremely reasonable, he is very professional and very pleasant man to work with I would highly recommend using him for any of gate issues.... read more
