If your gate is sagging, sticking, or the motor has stopped responding, call (469) 530-2485 and a real person answers, day or night.
Why Alamo Heights Homes Are Different
Alamo Heights isn’t a tract-home suburb. The housing stock here runs older, with a lot of 1920s through 1960s construction, and that shows up in the gates. We regularly work on steel tube gates and ornamental iron that were hung decades ago on posts that have since shifted with the clay soil. North Texas clay expands and contracts through the season, and in Alamo Heights that means gate posts that were once plumb have drifted, hinges that bind, and latch bars that no longer line up. A gate that worked for years will start dragging across the drive or failing to close all the way.
The lots here also tend to be smaller and closer to the street than what you see in newer suburbs to the north. That affects how we work: tighter setbacks mean less room for a swing gate to travel, and we see more slide gates and shorter swing panels here than in communities with bigger frontages. Several neighborhoods in Alamo Heights have deed restrictions and architectural review requirements, so any gate that’s visible from the street usually needs to match the existing materials and profile. That’s not an obstacle, it’s just a fact of working in Alamo Heights, and we plan for it from the first visit.
Our Main Alamo Heights Services
These are the two calls we take most often in Alamo Heights, and each has its own page with pricing and details specific to this area.
Gate Repair in Alamo Heights
Most Alamo Heights gate repairs come down to two things: a post that has shifted or a hinge that has worn out. We see it on the older ornamental gates along streets near Broadway and throughout the neighborhoods west of New Braunfels Avenue. The fix usually involves re-setting the post in concrete, replacing the hinge or the wheel, and adjusting the latch so the gate closes square and stays closed. If the gate is electric, we check the operator at the same time, because a binding gate will burn out a motor faster than anything else. Gate Repair in Alamo Heights
Gate Installation in Alamo Heights
A new gate in Alamo Heights usually means matching an existing fence line or an architectural style that’s been on the house for fifty years. We measure on site, talk through swing versus slide based on the setback, and build or order a gate that fits the opening without forcing the posts. For homes with an HOA or a design review committee, we can provide the specs and material details the committee will ask for. Gate Installation in Alamo Heights
Gate Motor Repair in Alamo Heights
When a gate motor stops working in Alamo Heights, it’s often the limit switch, a loop detector that’s no longer reading the car, or a capacitor that gave out after a power surge. We diagnose the system that’s already installed, not the one we’d prefer to sell you. Technicians carry parts for the major brands on the truck, so most motor repairs are done in one visit.

In Alamo Heights, the two things that push a job up in price are post condition and access. Older posts that have cracked or shifted usually need to be re-set rather than shimmed, and tight setbacks can mean working around landscaping or existing masonry. Whatever the number is, it’s written down and agreed to before any work starts so the price never moves at the door.
