Gate Installation & Repair
A gate takes more daily abuse than any other part of your fence. We build and repair them with hardware that's actually rated to survive a Western New York winter.
What's included
Hinges, latches and drop rods rated for freeze-thaw cycles, not the light-duty hardware that fails after one winter.
We diagnose whether a sagging gate needs new hardware, a new post, or a diagonal brace, and fix the actual cause.
Available for pool code compliance or simply to stop a gate from being left open.
We can install or wire gates to work with an automatic opener system for driveway applications.
Walk gates, double drive gates and utility gates built to the exact width your access point needs.
New gates are built to match your existing fence material, height and style so it doesn't look bolted on.
Materials
The gate frame material should match your fence, but we always upgrade to heavier-duty hardware than what typically ships with big-box fence kits.
From first call to done right.
Diagnosis or design
For repairs we identify what's actually causing the sag or failure; for new gates we measure the opening and discuss style.
Hardware and material sourcing
We source hardware and framing material to match your existing fence as closely as possible.
Install or repair
Gates are built square, hung level, and fitted with hardware rated to keep working through winter.
Function testing
We swing, latch and stress-test every gate before calling the job finished.
"The driveway gate had been dragging on the ground for two years. Turned out it just needed a proper brace, not a whole new gate like another company quoted us."

Gate Installation & Repair FAQs
Why does my gate sag after a year or two?
Most sagging comes from light-duty hardware or a missing diagonal brace, not a problem with the gate itself. Both are usually fixable without full replacement.
Can you add a self-latching gate for pool code compliance?
Yes, we install self-closing hinges and self-latching hardware positioned to meet New York State pool barrier requirements.
Do you install gates compatible with automatic openers?
Yes, we can build or retrofit gates to work with automatic opener systems for driveway access.
Is it cheaper to repair a gate or replace it entirely?
If the frame is still square and solid, repairing hardware or adding a brace is almost always less expensive than a full gate replacement.
