Gate Repair, Replacement & Installation in Sacramento and Surrounding Areas

Residential & Commercial Gate Services

We repair, replace, and install gates for a wide range of residential and commercial applications, including:

• Side-yard and pedestrian access gates
• Driveway gates for homes
• Commercial swing and slide gates
• Security and access-control gates
• Agricultural and utility access gates

Whether your gate is manual or automated, small or oversized, we focus first on function, safety, and durability, then on appearance and ease of use.

Pedestrian Gates (Typically 4 Feet Wide)

Pedestrian gates are the most common residential gate we work on. These are usually located on the side of a house, between properties, or leading to a backyard.

Common reasons homeowners call us:

• Gate is sagging or dragging on the ground
• Gate is hard to open or won’t latch properly
• Posts are leaning, broken, or rotted
• Hinges or latches have failed
• Need a new gate for privacy, security, or a dog run

We frequently repair, replace, and install pedestrian gates made from redwood, chain link, iron, and steel, ensuring they align correctly, swing smoothly, and hold up over time.

Driveway Gates & Large Access Gates

Driveway and large access gates are most often used for vehicle access, trailers, boats, equipment storage, and perimeter security. The right gate style depends largely on space, location, gate width, and budget. The two most common options are swing gates and slide gates — and each serves a different purpose.

Swing Gates (Single or Double Swing)

Swing gates are extremely common for residential properties and side-yard or driveway access where there is enough room for the gate panels to open inward.

Swing gates are often the best choice when:

• There is no room to slide a gate sideways
• The opening is under roughly 14 feet wide (for double swing gates)
• The gate is set back from sidewalks or streets
• Budget is a consideration

Why homeowners choose swing gates:

• Typically less expensive to install than slide gates at smaller widths
• Clean, traditional look that works well with wood and ornamental iron
• Can be manual or automated

Swing gates are a reliable and cost-effective solution when site conditions allow for them.

Slide Gates

Slide gates are commonly used for longer openings, commercial properties, and locations near sidewalks or streets where swing clearance isn’t possible.

Slide gates are often the best choice when:

• The gate is located near a sidewalk or public right-of-way where the gates cannot swing out toward the street
• The opening is very wide making the gates heavier
• When you want one larger gate to move instead of two independent ones on a double gate.
• Durability and frequent use are priorities

Why property owners choose slide gates:

• Ideal for long gates (longer than 14 feet wide) because the gate rides on wheels and V-track, not hang from posts
• Excellent for commercial and perimeter fencing
• Handles heavier gates with less stress on posts
• Often preferred for security-focused installations

Because slide gates are supported by the ground rather than hanging from posts, they allow for much longer and heavier gate designs without sagging.

Both swing and slide gates can be manual or fully automated, and we help you choose the option that best fits your property layout, access needs, and long-term reliability goals.

Gate Materials We Work With

We repair and install gates made from:

• Redwood and wood gates
• Chain link gates (swing and slide)
• Ornamental iron gates
• Vinyl Gates
• Cattle / Farm Gates
• Durabond steel gates

Durabond steel gates are especially popular for commercial, agricultural, and fire-prone areas due to their strength, low maintenance, and fire-resistant properties.

Common Gate Repair Calls We Receive

Homeowners and commercial clients contact us for many reasons, including:

• Gate is hard to open or close
• Gate is sagging or dragging
• Broken, leaning, or rotted gate posts
• Failed hinges or latches
• Broken wheels or damaged slide tracks
• Gate cut, bent, or struck by a vehicle or forklift
• Need temporary or emergency access solutions
• Adding a new gate for security or controlled access

For chain link and iron gates, vehicle and equipment damage is one of the most common repair scenarios we see, especially at warehouses, storage facilities, and commercial sites.

Repair vs. Replacement: Honest Guidance

Not every damaged gate needs to be replaced. When we inspect a gate, we look for:

• Structural integrity of the frame
• Condition of posts and footings
• Cost-effectiveness of repair vs. replacement

In many cases, we can provide a reliable and economical repair that restores full function. If a gate is too compromised to repair in a way that will hold up long-term, we’ll clearly explain why replacement may be the better investment.

Commercial Gate Repair & Fast Turnaround

We work regularly with:

• Warehouses
• Storage facilities
• Agricultural properties
• Small businesses and light industrial sites

We understand that timing is critical when a commercial gate fails. When possible, we offer fast turnarounds and temporary fixes to restore access and security while permanent repairs or replacements are planned.
