"Harrison was a delight to work with. He was prompt, efficient, honest, and so helpful with completing the architectural review form required by our HOA. The workmanship of his team was exceptional. And they offered a really competitive price. We even requested that he come back out to do a slight gate adjustment and he promptly followed up. We love this guy!"

"My wife and i hired them to fix our iron fence, when looking up we had no clue where to start. A friend of ours recommended Authentic welding. They showed up on time for our appointment and provided details of what needed to be done and how long it would take. Job was completed to our satifaction. Would definitely hire again if i have more projects."

"When we bought our house, the gate on the fence was not usable. It would drag through the mud and sag. Several spots were damaged/had holes too. Not only did they fix the gate, they improved the quality of the entire structure and added extra supports. Now our fence is BEAUTIFUL and I no longer have to worry about the safety of our dogs, chickens, and babies when they are in the yard. They were easy to work with, flexible - working around my schedule, and so affordable! I have referred them to several coworkers and will continue to recommend them to anyone who has fencing needs."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals offer motorized or remote-controlled shutters for convenience and security.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.

Installing a gate on your property is often a worthwhile investment, despite the initial expense. Gates enhance your home's curb appeal and can increase its property value, making them more attractive to potential homebuyers. They provide significant security benefits by keeping out unwanted guests and increasing privacy for your household. Additionally, a gate can help keep children and pets safely contained in your yard.

For driveway gates, automatic versions are particularly convenient and tend to add more value than manual ones. The choice of gate material also plays a role in both aesthetic appeal and security. Beyond driveways, side gates can improve accessibility to your rear yard, making the outdoor space more usable. Overall, whether for security, safety, or aesthetics, installing a gate is a valuable addition to a property.

You don’t need a permit for an automatic gate in most cities because it isn’t a structural change to your home, but you need to check. A pro can help you with this and since we don’t recommend installing an automatic gate yourself, you should already be in contact with one, making this a frictionless question. Outside of permit requirements, you need to consider your homeowners association (HOA), as some are against gated homes.
