Paschal Gates & Garage Doors - About Our Fort Worth Team
Why We're Texas-Tough
Since 2011, Fernando Flores and our team have been Fort Worth's dependable garage door specialists, building trust through honest service, weather expertise, and the kind of reliability that Texas families deserve. Discover the story behind Fort Worth's most trusted garage door company.
Built on Texas Values
Paschal Gates & Garage Doors was born from a simple observation: Fort Worth families deserved garage door service they could actually depend on. Too many companies were charging high prices, showing up late, and treating customers like just another number. Fernando Flores knew there had to be a better way.
The Story Behind the Service
Fernando Flores didn't set out to revolutionize garage door service - he just wanted to do it right. After years of seeing Fort Worth families frustrated by unreliable service and unfair pricing, he founded Paschal Gates & Garage Doors with a commitment to treating every customer like a neighbor.
"I've lived in Fort Worth long enough to know what our weather does to garage doors," Fernando explains. "Summer heat that reaches over 100°F, sudden thunderstorms with hail, and humidity that never seems to quit. Families need garage door service that understands these challenges and provides solutions that actually work."
Under Fernando's leadership, the company has grown from a one-man operation to Fort Worth's most trusted garage door specialists, but the core values remain unchanged: honest service, fair pricing, and the reliability that Texas families deserve.
