Typical new gate install
Help with permits and approval
Quick answer
Measure the opening and check the slope, decide between swing and slide, confirm there is power at the gate, and find out whether your city or HOA needs a permit or approval. We check all of it on a free site visit and sort out the details with you before anything is built.
Driveway layout
Width, slope and clearance decide between a swing and a slide gate, and how strong the operator needs to be.
Permits & HOA
Some installs need a permit or HOA approval. We help you find out what applies before we start.
Power at the gate
A hardwired operator needs a power run. Where that is not practical, a solar operator is an option.
Style & material
Steel, aluminum, iron or wood, chosen for looks, weight and how much upkeep you want.
How you get in
Remotes, a keypad, an intercom or phone access, set up for family, guests and deliveries.
Cost
Price depends on gate size, materials, the operator, electrical work and site conditions. You get a written quote after the site visit.
For homeowners
Swing, slide and dual gates in steel, aluminum, iron or wood, built to match your home and sized to carry a motor.
Automate the gate you already have with a swing or slide operator, photo eyes, remotes and a keypad.
Gate stuck, slow or noisy? We diagnose any brand and give you a price before we start.
Inspections, lubrication and safety checks that catch wear on hinges, rollers and motors before they fail.

What are the benefits of a residential electric gate?
Better security and privacy, controlled access for family and guests, everyday convenience, and added curb appeal.
How long does residential gate installation take?
Most installs are done within a few days, depending on the site, the gate and any permits.
Can an existing driveway gate be automated?
Yes. Many existing gates can be fitted with an electric operator if they are structurally sound and swing or slide freely by hand.
Do residential electric gates need maintenance?
Yes. Routine inspections and lubrication keep the gate safe and reliable and extend the life of the motor, hinges and rollers.
Are residential electric gates safe?
Yes, when they are installed with the right safety devices. Photo eyes, safety edges and auto-reverse stop the gate if something is in the way.
How much does a residential electric gate cost?
Cost depends on gate size, materials, the operator, electrical work and site conditions. A free site visit gives you an exact quote, and we match any written competitor quote.
Can residential gates work with home automation?
Yes. Many systems support phone apps, intercoms, voice assistants and security camera integration.
