Styles and options
Gate styles and operators we install
We are a LiftMaster authorized dealer, and gates are a customer-favorite job: driveway entries, estate drives, and repair calls that other companies send back to us.
Slide gates
For short driveways and sloped entries where swing has no room.
Dual swing
The estate standard — paired leaves between piers or posts.
Cantilever
Track-free sliding for gravel drives and snow country.
Solar operators
LiftMaster solar packages where power does not reach the gate.
Custom infills
Picket, privacy, and decorative infill panels matched to the house.
Gate repair
Hinges, magnetic locks, keypads, wiring, and operator service.
Our process
How a gate job goes
Gate jobs start with the driveway: width, slope, surface, and where power lives. Swing needs room to arc; slide needs a run beside the drive; cantilever needs neither track nor ground rail.
Operators get sized to the leaf weight, with battery backup and access control — keypad, remotes, or app. We wire it, test the safety edges, and walk you through the settings before we leave.

FAQ
gate questions
How much does an automatic gate cost?
Automated single swings start around $4,500; dual swings run $6,000–$12,000; slide and cantilever gates $7,000–$14,000. Material, infill, and masonry piers move the number. Your estimate confirms it.
Swing, slide, or cantilever — which gate do I need?
Swing if the driveway is flat and long enough for the arc. Slide if a garage faces the gate. Cantilever if the drive is gravel or slopes. We measure and tell you on the spot.
Are you a LiftMaster dealer?
Yes — LiftMaster authorized dealer. Operators, access control, and parts come through the dealership, and we service what we install.
Do you repair gates other companies installed?
Yes. Hinges, latches, operators, keypads, and wiring — including the 'complex electrical wiring issues' a customer specifically reviewed us for.
Can my gate run on solar?
Usually, yes. Solar operators with battery backup handle normal driveway traffic in this region. Heavy-cycle commercial gates still prefer wired power.
Do gates need permits?
Automated gates can trigger electrical and zoning review depending on the jurisdiction, especially near rights-of-way. We check and file for your address.
