Gateway Garage Doors LLC.

The state lists Jessica Hockett as a principal since 2022 and James Hockett since 2024, and the crew is small, one to three people, with the owner doing the work. Gateway holds contractor registrations in both Washington and Idaho, so it can legally take jobs on either side of the state line. The company describes itself as locally owned and lists repairs and new installations as its two services, all on houses rather than commercial buildings. That narrow focus suits a homeowner who wants a broken door fixed, a worn door replaced or an opener sorted out without paying for a general contractor to coordinate it. A storefront, warehouse or public project is outside what this business does, and so is a garage remodel that also needs framing, electrical or siding from other trades. For a door-only job in the Valley or the west side of the county, a small specialist shop is a direct way to get it done. In Spokane, Spokane Valley and the smaller cities around them, a straight swap of a garage door in the same opening is often treated as a repair, but changing the size of the opening, altering the header or adding a new electrical circuit for an opener can bring in a building or electrical permit. Rules differ by jurisdiction, so ask before work starts. When a permit is needed, expect the contractor to pull it in its own name, since that ties the inspection and the responsibility to the business doing the work.
