About Aldercrest Gate Services
A Local Business Built on a Simple Idea
Aldercrest Gate Services was founded in Aurora, CO in 2015 with a straightforward goal: provide honest, reliable gate services to local homeowners and businesses without overcharging or overcomplicating things. That goal hasn't changed. We're still the same small, locally rooted company we were when we started — just with a longer track record and a lot more satisfied neighbors.
We started because we saw too many property owners getting hit with inflated estimates from out-of-town contractors who didn't understand local soil conditions, HOA requirements, or the specific demands that Colorado's climate puts on gate hardware. We knew we could do better — and do it without the price markups that come with a franchise name.
Most of our business today comes from repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals within the Aurora community. That's the kind of reputation we've worked hard to build, and it's the clearest sign that what we're doing is working.
How We Approach Every Job
Accurate Estimates, No Surprises
Before we touch anything, we walk you through what needs to be done and what it will cost. Our estimates are thorough and we stick to them. We don't add charges after the fact or talk you into work your gate doesn't need.
We Show Up When We Say We Will
We know your time is valuable. When we schedule a job or estimate appointment, we keep it. If something genuinely changes, we communicate early — not when you're already waiting in your driveway.
We Don't Leave Until It's Right
We test the gate fully before we pack up our tools. If something doesn't work the way it should, we fix it on the spot. If a problem shows up after we leave, we come back. That's not a special policy — it's just how we operate.
You Deal With the Same Person Throughout
From your first call to the final walkthrough, you work with Rylen directly. No handoffs to a different technician, no middlemen. That consistency means better communication and a higher standard of accountability on every job.
Meet the Manager
Rylen Lawson
Manager, Aldercrest Gate Services
Rylen Lawson runs Aldercrest Gate Services, handling installation, repair, and maintenance of residential and commercial gate systems. He works with swing gates, slide gates, and automated entry systems, and is comfortable troubleshooting both mechanical and electrical components. Most of his work comes from repeat customers and local referrals throughout Aurora and the surrounding Denver metro area.
Rylen keeps his schedule organized and shows up when he says he will. He walks customers through their options without overselling, and makes sure the work is done right before leaving a job site. He handles estimates, installs, and follow-up service calls himself, so customers deal with the same person start to finish.
Part of the Aurora Community
Being based in Aurora isn't just a business detail — it's what shapes how we work. We understand the local terrain, the HOA requirements common in Aurora's established subdivisions, and the way Colorado weather cycles affect gate hardware over time. That local knowledge means we can move projects along faster and make better recommendations than contractors who are driving in from two counties over.
When you call Aldercrest Gate Services, you're not just another work order in a queue. We're small enough that every job matters to us. The Aurora families and businesses that have trusted us with their gate work are the reason we're still here after nearly a decade, and we take that seriously on every job site.
