About Paloma Gate Services
A Bonita Springs gate company since 2008, run by a manager who still does a lot of the work himself.
How it started
Paloma Gate Services has been a trusted name in Bonita Springs since 2008, handling gate installation, repair and maintenance for homes and businesses across the area. The business started small, built on a straightforward idea: homeowners and property managers in Southwest Florida needed a gate company they could actually rely on, one that would not disappear after the sale or leave jobs half-finished.
Over the years, word of mouth from satisfied customers helped the company grow into a go-to resource for gate repair and installation throughout Bonita Springs and nearby communities. Whether it is a swing gate acting up, a new driveway gate, or routine maintenance on gate openers and access systems, the team shows up on time and gets the job done right the first time.
Meet Declan Hayes, Manager
Declan got into gate work years ago after helping a neighbor fix a busted driveway gate, and found he actually enjoyed figuring out the mechanics of it. One repair led to another, and eventually he turned it into a full business.
He is mostly self-taught, picking up his skills through hands-on jobs and a lot of trial and error early on. What matters most to him is doing the work right the first time and not overcharging people for simple fixes. He is upfront about pricing and will not try to sell you something you do not need.
Declan handles a lot of the jobs himself, so when you call, you are usually talking directly to the person who will show up at your house. He likes keeping things straightforward and treating customers the way he would want to be treated.
How we work
Declan keeps the business grounded in practical, no-nonsense service. In practice that comes down to a few habits.
- Clear communication. You hear what is wrong in plain words, and what we would do about it.
- Fair, upfront pricing. The price comes before the work, and a simple fix is charged as one.
- Only what you need. No new opener when a sensor will do, no new gate when the hinges are the problem.
- Done right the first time, and finished: no half-done jobs or disappearing after the sale.
- Safe and smooth long after we leave. Every gate system we touch, manual or automatic, is tested before we go.
That hands-on approach, together with more than a decade of local experience, is what sets Paloma Gate Services apart from bigger, less personal outfits in the region.
