AfterMeet the Johns Creek Team Behind Vance Gate Repair Johns Creek
We’re the crew that shows up when your gate won’t close at 10 p.m. or when your opener starts making that grinding noise you can’t ignore. Every one of us came up through the trade, not through a sales seminar. What ties us together is simple: we name the part, name the problem, name the price, and we don’t leave until the photo log is in your hand and the gate cycles clean three times.
Our People
Adrian Vance, Owner
I started this company in 2014 after ten years wiring commercial access-control systems for distribution centers and parking garages. The habit stuck: every job gets a wiring diagram, every visit gets a photo record, and every customer gets the price in writing before I touch a tool. I still run calls myself when we’re stacked up, mostly because I haven’t found a better way to spot a failing limit switch than to stand there and listen to the motor strain. I live in Forsyth County with two dogs who have learned not to run through open gates. If your FAAC operator is throwing an error code I’ve never seen, that’s the call I want.
Marcus T., Lead Technician
Marcus has been with us since 2017 and carries the factory certifications on LiftMaster, Linear, and Viking operators that let us honor warranties other companies void by guessing. He specializes in the jobs that come in described as “weird”: gates that reverse for no reason, photo-eyes that test fine but fail at dusk, intercom systems that work until the UPS truck shows up. His trick is a $12 analog multimeter he swears gives cleaner reads than digital on ghost voltage. Off the clock, he restores vintage motorcycles and applies the same patience to a 1974 Honda carburetor that he brings to a finicky gate arm bracket.
Dana K., Senior Installer
Dana joined us in 2019 after six years with a commercial fencing contractor that did everything except the automation. She asked us to teach her the motors, and within eighteen months she was running her own install crew. Her specialty is retrofit: taking an existing iron or wood gate in Johns Creek and making it automated without the homeowner replacing the whole leaf. She keeps a notebook of every oddball hinge geometry she’s encountered, which now runs to forty-seven pages. On weekends she coaches a middle-school softball team and has been known to explain gate geometry using the same diagrams she uses for outfield positioning.
Elena R., Service Coordinator
Elena answers the phones and dispatches the crews, which means she’s the live voice you get at 2 a.m. when your gate is hanging open and you’re not sure if it’s an emergency. She joined us in 2021 after managing logistics for a commercial HVAC outfit, and she brought with her a intolerance for “we’ll call you back.” She knows which technician has the BFT software cable, which van carries the heavy-duty Mighty Mule arm bracket, and whether the part you need is in our Johns Creek stock or needs to come from the morning run. She keeps a garden that her neighbors photograph, and she approaches tomato trellising with the same structural logic she applies to gate frame stress.
Jamal P., Apprentice
Jamal started with us in 2023 through a trade program at a technical college in Gwinnett County. He’s still building his hours, but he’s already the person we send when a job calls for welding on aluminum gate frames, a skill he picked up working summers at his uncle’s boat repair shop. He shadows Marcus on operator diagnostics and Dana on installs, and he’s not allowed to sign off on a job until he’s explained the repair back to the homeowner in plain language. He plays pickup basketball at a court near Abbotts Bridge Road and has developed a theory that gate alignment and free-throw form involve the same kind of repeatable footwork.
One Standard, Every Job
We’re independently owned and operated, not a franchise, and we’ve been serving Johns Creek since 2014 under the same standard: written price before work starts, documented photo record on every visit, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backing every repair we complete. Adrian Vance set that standard working commercial access-control sites where a failed gate meant a breached perimeter, and we apply the same rigor to your driveway.
Whether you need a swing-gate motor replaced, a sliding gate track rewelded, or a Ghost Controls system reprogrammed after a power surge, the same crew handles it. We don’t subcontract. We don’t steer you toward replacement when repair is the honest call. And we don’t leave until you’ve got the photo log, the written record, and a gate that cycles clean.
Call us at (678) 394-1765. A live person answers, any hour.
