Modesto Gate Pros provides professional telephone entry & video intercoms in Modesto, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Central Valley. The whole point of an intercom out here is that you cannot see the gate. Somebody is standing at the road, several hundred feet away, and you are in the kitchen with no idea who they are or what they want.
That distance rules out the cheap answer immediately. A wired intercom needs a cable run from the house to the road, in conduit, below plow and disc depth, and on a six-hundred-foot drive the trench costs more than the equipment does. It is also the first thing a trencher finds three years later. Repairing a cut run means finding the break first, somewhere across six hundred feet.
So most of what we install here is cellular. The unit calls your phone wherever you happen to be, which suits a property where nobody is reliably in the house, and it needs no cable at all. What it does need is a signal check at the gate before anything is ordered, because coverage varies road to road and one carrier will work where another will not.
The signal check is ten minutes and it decides the order. We stand at the pedestal position, not at the house, and read actual signal on more than one carrier, because a bar at the kitchen window tells you nothing about a spot six hundred feet away behind a windbreak. Where the reading is marginal we specify an external antenna on the pedestal rather than accepting a unit that will drop half its calls.
Video pays for itself faster here than anywhere else. Seeing the person at the gate, from the tractor or from town, is the difference between opening for a delivery and driving back to find out who it was. It also means you are not letting somebody through on the strength of a voice. A recorded still image at each call is worth having too, for the visits you did miss.
Power is the same problem as the gate itself. An intercom transmitting video draws more than a keypad does, so on a solar entrance we size the array and the battery for the intercom and the operator together, and we design that system to a foggy December rather than to an annual average.
Copper phone lines are being retired, so we also replace older units that stopped working when the line behind them was taken out of service. Where the fire authority specifies a Knox box, strobe or radio receiver for apparatus access, we fit it, test it and leave you the documentation. An older unit fails in a way that looks like a dead gate, which sends people to the operator.
With 20+ years of experience, our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, welded aluminum ranch and estate gates, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, Class I-IV operator classifications, UL 325 entrapment protection — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Modesto and nearby communities including Ceres, Turlock, Riverbank, Oakdale.

Materials, equipment and how we do telephone entry & video intercoms
The difference between telephone entry & video intercoms that lasts and telephone entry & video intercoms that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, welded aluminum ranch and estate gates, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Modesto job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of gate work in the Central Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
