Austin Entry

Austin Entry handles fencing work out of Buda, Texas, with a focus on driveway gates and access control. The company installs gate operators, callboxes, card readers, keypads, RFID systems, and smartphone controls for homes, businesses, HOAs, and apartment complexes. Kade leads the crew alongside technicians named Stephen, Jimmy, and Cade. They also repair existing gates, run electrical lines, perform safety checks, and handle welding as needed. Service reaches Austin and nearby spots such as Kyle, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and San Marcos, with possible added fees farther out.

Homeowners and property managers report hiring the crew for full gate builds that include custom fabrication and operator setup. Kade has replaced dead batteries on six-year-old systems and linked them to vehicle Homelink buttons. Stephen has diagnosed faulty parts, ordered replacements, and restored operation within days. Other jobs covered lock repairs that took nearly an hour of troubleshooting, loop detector fixes paired with welding, and upgrades to community access systems. Reviewers note the gates and operators have stayed reliable for five years or more after installation.

The team answers calls quickly and often squeezes in short-notice repairs around their schedule. Kade and the others explain problems on site, adjust bids to fit budgets, and keep customers updated on any changes. Pricing comes across as reasonable and free of surprises. Work happens on both new installs and older systems, with follow-up service available years later. They cover the central Texas area and handle residential as well as commercial sites.

Austin Entry carries a Google rating of 4.9 from 17 reviews. Reviewers repeatedly mention solid workmanship, honest dealings, and technicians who finish jobs without callbacks. A few notes highlight fast response and clear explanations, while one review flagged a later delay in communication after the first visit.

“AE team were awesome to work with. We went back and forth for several weeks as they helped me put together a plan to get the gate installed at our home. From having a custom gate built, to running electrical, and choosing the right operator style, they thoroughly walked us through every step and detail. They were competitively priced and the final install day went smoothly. Highly recommend their work!”

“The service is worth everything. After six years, our battery went out and Kade came out and was on point. Most places are once and done after the sale and installation, with Austin Entry they are service first, sales second.”

“Austin Entry is by far the best gate operator company I’ve ever dealt with. Their level of professionalism and knowledge is unmatched. Very reliable and honest, no hidden charges. You can count on them to take good care of you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“Stephen was outstanding!! Professional and very communicative. Analyzed the issue, ordered the new part, and viola! My gate is working again. All within about a week!”

“Austin Entry installed my Liftmaster gate opener and it has worked beautifully since brung installed 5 years ago. Recently the emergency back up battery needed replacement and the technician did an excellent job and even programmed the Homelink in my car to open the gate. The product and service is excellent and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.”

“My company has hired Austin Entry several times, and Kade and his team consistently deliver excellent work. They bring a tireless commitment to getting the job done right the first time. Kade is fair, honest, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Austin Entry’s services.”

“I am very pleased with the work and service done by Austin Entry! Our technician Kade not only managed to work us into their busy schedule on short notice, but spent nearly an hour troubleshooting and fixing our existing gate lock. I highly recommend hiring them for any and all property gate installations, maintenance, or repairs.”

“Steven the lead technician was out, quickly diagnosed the problem and clearly explained it before fixing. We've had two other experiences with local vendors that went quite badly. Very glad to have Austin Entry for future issues.”

“Very pleased with the installer, Cade, and the end product. They were flexible and accommodating and I would definitely recommend them.”

“Great service. Fast, knowledgeable and friendly. Couldn’t ask for more.”

“I would 100% recommend Austin Entry!! I never write reviews, but AE deserves one! Kade was fabulous from start to finish. VERY fair pricing, great workmanship, and a job well done. Everyone at AE was reachable, polite, responsive, and professional...and they showed up when they said they would!!! THANK YOU! Great job! A++”

“We have worked with Kade and Austin Entry for over 3 years and have been very happy with not only the systems he has installed at our communities, but even more so with the service he offers after the installation… even years later. From listening to our needs and wants, to design, implementation to customer service and support, we are always confident in doing business with Austin Entry! Kade is very knowledgeable in his field and we consider him a partner of ours while ensuring the safety and convenience of our residents!”

“We have used Austin Entry for a while now and are always happy with the finished product. Here recently Jimmy came out to fix our exit gate loop detector and complete some welding. The job was done very well and their customer service and response time is always good. I would recommend this company to anyone needing a fence repair!”

“The best automatic gate professionals in Austin! I originally got a quote for a Liftmaster gate opener from Kade back in 2019. I called him early this year and he was just as excited to work with me then as he was now (with an updated quote, of course.). Kade is a hands-own business owner and wants to see the jobs completed right, done to perfection. He is very knowledgeable on the products, do's and don'ts and will answer any questions you will have. The installer, Jimmy was prompt, courteous and was consultative with my wife and I on the mock up of how the opener would be mounted and answered questions we had. On top of the excellent customer service and installation, the price was very favorable (I received quotes from a number of different gate companies to do this work) Do not hesitate to call Kade and Jimmy to come out and get your project done, they are the best!”

“Great service and very professional! We especially like the new My Q Community access system.”

“After many tries of finding the right gate company in austin, Austin Entry is the winner! Our neighborhood was in need of a new gate system. Contacted Austin Entry and had a quote within two days. Kade and his team are amazing. Kade came out and explained all of the details of the bid, worked with us on adjusting things to meet our budget. During installation, we were informed of all the work being completed. The gates work great! Kade and his team were professional, extremely knowledgeable of all options and possibilities for gates, friendly and will to go above and beyond for us. I cannot say enough good things about this company. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Kade was a lifesaver! I needed my electric gate fix and he made the process so seamless and easy. His estimate was clear and reasonable. He communicated with me about anything that differed from what was originally discussed. He got the job done in a timely fashion without me even needing to be there. Highly recommend!”

“We have two gates and one was acting up, an Austin entry service man came to assist with one error and look at some other things we spoke about. Great guy and work, but we have not been able to get communication back for the rest of the work we spoke with them about. Hoping they are okay, but the communication has not been helpful.”

“Do yourself a favor and hire Austin Entry. Great guy, organized, and knows the products to fit the installation. The great thing about working with him is that he's not going to sell you on things you don't need and make the things you do need work to their maximum efficiency the first time. Great customer service at the right price.”

“Quick and reliable help. The team never hesitates to communicate changes and always comes early to fix any issues.”
