When a gate sticks, drifts, or refuses to open, the whole property feels exposed until it’s fixed. We repair manual and automatic gates across Georgetown, and we do it as a gate specialist, not as a side job between fence builds and handyman calls. Our technicians have up to 13 years of experience and work on the operators we see most in this part of Williamson County, from Mighty Mule residential units to LiftMaster and FAAC systems on larger driveways. That focus means fewer return trips and a diagnosis that holds the first time.
Most gate problems are visible to a trained eye within minutes: a sagging hinge, a bound track, a control board that no longer reads its limits. We check for same-day repair where the parts allow it. Call (833) 408-4022 for Gate Repair Georgetown. We answer 24/7, with fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
Driveway Gate Repair
Driveway Gate Repair covers everything between the street and your parking pad: the gate leaf, its hinges or track, the posts it hangs from, and the operator that moves it. You need it when the gate drags on the ground, opens halfway and stops, or swings back on its own, and those symptoms tend to get worse rather than settle down. We adjust hinges, reset operator travel limits, replace worn rollers, and re-anchor posts that have shifted. Most driveway gate repairs fall in the range of a standard service visit, and you’ll get a written estimate with the exact figure before we start. For a deeper look at the electrical side, see our gate repair service.
Hinge and Post Adjustment
A gate that sags is usually telling you a hinge has worn or a post has moved in the soil. We check plumb, shim and re-set hardware, and confirm the gate swings freely before the operator is reconnected. Catching it early keeps the weight off the operator and saves a larger repair later.
Operator Travel and Limit Resets
When a LiftMaster or Mighty Mule operator stops short or reverses mid-travel, the limits or the close-force setting are usually out of adjustment. We recalibrate travel, check the safety reversal, and test the gate through several full cycles. If a board or motor is failing, we tell you that plainly instead of adjusting around it.

Gate Welding
Gate Welding restores structural strength to a gate that has cracked at a weld, pulled loose at a hinge, or bent after impact. You need it when the frame flexes, a hinge leaf tears away from the stile, or a repair from years ago is failing in the same spot. We weld steel and iron frames, rebuild hinge mounts, and brace weak joints so the gate carries its own weight again. On-site welding is priced per job after we inspect the joint, and the estimate is free and agreed before any work starts. If the gate is automated, we disconnect and later reconnect the operator so the weld isn’t fighting the motor.
Cracked Frame and Hinge Repairs
A crack at a hinge is a load problem, not just a cosmetic one, and welding over it without addressing the cause usually means it returns. We grind back to sound metal, weld the joint properly, and check that the gate hangs square afterward. That’s what keeps the repair holding through daily use.
Impact and Bent-Leaf Straightening
A gate that took a hit from a vehicle or a wind gust often bends before it breaks. We assess whether the frame can be straightened and re-welded or whether replacement is the better call. Either way, you’ll hear the reasoning before committing.
Commercial Gate Repair
Commercial Gate Repair handles the operators and gate hardware that keep a business entrance, storage yard, or controlled-access drive moving all day. You need it when an entry gate cycles constantly and starts missing limits, when a loop detector stops reading vehicles, or when a DoorKing or FAAC operator faults out under load. We service commercial-grade operators and the access-control hardware tied to them, and we know where heavy-traffic systems wear first: chains, sprockets, rollers, and the control board. Pricing depends on the operator and the failure, and you’ll get a written estimate before work begins. Property managers can reach us at (833) 408-4022.
Loop Detector and Access Control Faults
A gate that won’t open for a car sitting on the pad usually has a failed loop or a miswired detector, not a dead motor. We test the loop, check the wiring, and confirm the operator responds to every input. Getting this right matters on a commercial drive where a stuck gate backs up traffic fast.
Heavy-Duty Operator Service
Commercial operators run far more cycles than a residential unit, and their wear parts show it. We inspect chains, sprockets, and brakes, and we diagnose control faults rather than swapping boards blindly. That reduces downtime and repeat visits.
Iron Gate Repair
Iron Gate Repair addresses the structural and mechanical failures that show up on iron gates over time: worn hinges, loose pickets, rust at weld joints, and gates that no longer sit level. You need it when the gate binds, when a section feels loose, or when rust is eating into a joint you’d rather save than replace. We re-weld joints, replace worn hardware, treat rusted areas, and reset the gate so it swings clean. Iron work is priced per job after inspection, and the written estimate sets the final figure before we touch the gate. Heavier iron panels put real strain on operators, so we check that side too.
Rust and Joint Treatment
Rust at a weld is a strength issue before it’s a looks issue. We clean back to sound metal, repair the joint, and treat the area so it doesn’t immediately corrode again. Central Texas sun and dry spells are hard on exposed finishes, so spot treatment pays off.
Hardware and Hinge Replacement
Iron gates carry real weight, and standard hardware often wears out ahead of the gate itself. We replace hinges and latches with hardware rated for the load and confirm the gate hangs true. A level gate is easier on both the frame and the operator.
Sliding Gate Repair
Sliding Gate Repair fixes gates that run on a track or cantilever system rather than swinging on hinges. You need it when the gate jumps the track, rolls rough, drifts past its stop, or the operator strains to move it. Common causes are worn rollers, a bent track, debris in the channel, or a rack-and-pinion drive that’s out of mesh. We replace rollers, straighten and re-level track, adjust the operator, and test the safety edges and stops. A sliding gate off its track is a genuine safety concern, since a heavy panel can come down or swing free, so don’t force it by hand. Call us and we’ll assess it.
Track, Roller, and Guide Work
A sliding gate that shudders or derails almost always has a track or roller problem. We check level along the full run, replace worn rollers, and align the guides so the gate tracks straight. That fixes most drag and derail issues at the source.
Rack and Pinion Alignment
On automated slide gates, a slipping or grinding drive usually means the rack and pinion are out of mesh or the gate has settled. We realign the drive, reset the operator’s limits, and confirm the gate stops where it should. Safety edges get tested at the same time.
Wrought Iron Gate Repair
Wrought Iron Gate Repair covers the decorative and structural work on ornamental iron gates, where appearance matters as much as function. You need it when a scroll or picket comes loose, a hinge tears free, the finish is failing, or the gate droops from years of opening. We re-weld ornamental details, rebuild hinge mounts, straighten bent sections, and prep for refinishing so the repair blends in. Wrought iron work is priced per job after we see the gate, with a free written estimate and the price agreed before we start. For a gate that’s also automated, we check the operator alongside the ironwork so both sides are right.
Ornamental Detail and Scroll Repair
Decorative scrolls and finials crack at their narrowest points, where the metal is thinnest. We rebuild those details with matching stock and finish the weld so the repair disappears into the design. The gate keeps its look, not just its strength.
Finish and Refinishing Prep
Once the metalwork is sound, the finish protects it. We prep rusted and repaired areas for a proper coat and flag spots where the old finish is letting moisture in. That keeps a repaired gate from rusting back through in a season.
Metal Gate Repair
Metal Gate Repair is the broad category for steel, aluminum, and mixed-metal gates that need mechanical or structural work. You need it when a latch won’t align, a hinge fails, a post pulls loose, or the frame has bent out of square. We handle steel and aluminum weld repairs, hardware replacement, post re-anchoring, and alignment so the gate latches and swings as designed. Because metals behave differently, the approach changes: aluminum needs different weld technique than steel, and we work both. Pricing is set per job by the written estimate. If a repair isn’t the right call, we’ll tell you and quote replacement through our gate repair service instead of patching a gate that won’t last.
Steel and Aluminum Frame Work
Steel gates carry loads differently than aluminum, and the weld and bracing have to match the metal. We repair cracked frames, re-square bent sections, and reinforce where the gate is under stress. The goal is a gate that stays true under daily movement.
Latch, Post, and Alignment Fixes
Most “the gate won’t close” calls trace to a misaligned latch or a post that’s shifted. We reset posts, adjust latches, and align the gate so it seats every time. Small alignment work prevents bigger wear on the frame and the operator.
Wood Gate Repair
Wood Gate Repair handles gates built from wood or a wood-and-metal mix, where the failure is often moisture, sag, or hardware pulling loose. You need it when the gate sags, a stile or rail splits, boards cup, or the hinges have torn out of soft wood. We replace split boards and stiles, reinforce hinge and latch points, re-hang sagging gates, and re-set posts where the gate has dropped. Wood moves with the seasons, so we leave the gate working freely rather than binding it tight. Wood work is priced per job after inspection, with a free written estimate. For a fresh start, our gate repair and installation services cover new builds too.
Sag, Split, and Hardware Repair
A sagging wood gate usually means hardware has pulled out of soft or split wood. We reinforce hinge points, replace split stiles and boards, and re-hang the gate so it swings without dragging. Fixing the cause keeps the sag from returning.
Post and Frame Re-Setting
When a wood post shifts, the whole gate drops with it. We check plumb, re-set posts to proper footing depth, and reattach the gate so the frame sits square. That’s the foundation every good wood gate repair rests on.

AfterBrands We Service
We work on the operator brands we see most on Georgetown gates, and we know each one’s habits. LiftMaster units are common on residential drives, and their limits and safety-reversal settings are often the root of a gate that stops or reverses. Mighty Mule and Ghost Controls cover the DIY-grade residential end, and we’re familiar with their control boards, remotes, and battery backup behavior. On the commercial side, FAAC, BFT, and DoorKing operators show up on higher-traffic drives, and we know where those systems wear under load. Linear, Viking, and Elite round out the list, and their hardware and control faults are familiar territory. This is a specialist’s list, and we’re comfortable across all of it.
Brand familiarity cuts diagnosis time. When we know how a FAAC control board reports a fault or how a Mighty Mule behaves on a weak battery, we skip the trial-and-error a generalist would run through. Whether you have a LiftMaster, an Elite, or any other make, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
Some gate symptoms are safe to watch for a few days. Others need a call today.
- The gate drags or won’t open fully. A binding gate is usually a hinge, track, or operator problem that’s actively getting worse. Continuing to run it strains the motor and can burn out a control board.
- The operator reverses or stops mid-travel. That’s often a limit or safety-setting fault, but it can also mean an obstruction the gate is detecting. Don’t override a safety reversal to force the gate closed.
- A hinge or post has pulled loose. A gate hanging on failing hardware can drop or swing free. Stop using it until it’s inspected.
- A sliding gate has jumped its track. A heavy panel off its track can come down or rack sideways. Keep clear and call us rather than forcing it back by hand.
- Visible cracks at a weld or frame joint. Cracks spread under load, and a frame can fail without warning. Have it welded before it breaks.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and describe the problem. We ask what the gate is doing so we can bring the right tools and likely parts. Call (833) 408-4022. We answer 24/7, with fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
- 2
On-site diagnosis. We inspect the gate leaf, hinges or track, posts, and the operator, and we test the safety devices. A meter check on the operator wiring tells us whether the fault is mechanical, electrical, or both.
- 3
Written estimate before we start. You get a clear, itemized price for the repair, and the figure is agreed before any work begins. No surprise invoice afterward.
- 4
The repair itself. We complete the mechanical, welding, or operator work and test the gate through full cycles. Safety edges, reversal, and limits are verified before we call it done.
- 5
Walk-through and next steps. We show you what failed and what we fixed, and flag anything worth watching. If the gate is near the end of its life, we’ll say so honestly.
How Much Does Gate Repair Cost in Georgetown?
Gate repair in Georgetown is priced per job, so the written estimate is the real number. As a guide: a typical mechanical adjustment for a binding or sagging gate runs in a modest service-visit range; hinge, roller, and hardware replacement sits in the mid range; on-site weld repair of a cracked frame or hinge mount is a larger job priced by scope; and operator or control-board repair depends heavily on the make and whether the part is available. With a LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, FAAC, or DoorKing operator, the part usually drives the price more than the labor.
What affects the price: the type of gate (swing or slide), the operator brand and model, whether welding is needed, whether a post needs re-setting, and how heavy the gate is. Commercial operators cost more to service than residential DIY-grade ones because the systems are bigger and run more cycles.
How to avoid overpaying: get the diagnosis in writing before work starts, and ask whether the fix is a repair or a patch. A generalist who services gates occasionally may replace a board when a limit setting was the real fault. Our gate-only focus cuts down on that trial-and-error.
What’s in a free estimate: a look at the gate and operator, a diagnosis, an itemized price, and a clear recommendation on repair versus replacement. The estimate is free, the price is agreed before any work starts, and the written estimate sets the final figure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gate Repair in Georgetown
Gate repair is the work of diagnosing and fixing a gate that no longer opens, closes, latches, or moves correctly. It covers the gate leaf and frame, hinges, tracks, rollers, posts, welding, and the automatic operator and its controls. We specialize in this one trade, so the diagnosis is focused, not spread across unrelated jobs. If you’re unsure whether your gate needs a repair or a replacement, a free estimate will tell you.
Most mechanical repairs, hinge and roller swaps, and operator adjustments wrap up in a single visit, often within a couple of hours. Welding and post re-setting can take longer depending on the gate, and parts availability matters for operator control boards. You’ll get a realistic time estimate with your written quote. Call (833) 408-4022 for an exact quote, and the estimate is free.
Gate repair is priced per job after we inspect the gate, so the written estimate is the exact figure.
