AfterGate Company in Burbank, CA
Gate repair in Burbank typically runs between $180 and $600 for common mechanical fixes, while full installations range from $3,000 to $12,000 depending on the gate style and automation package. Most Burbank service calls can be scheduled within a 48-hour window, and urgent failures like a gate stuck open or a dead motor get same-day attention in most cases. Our crew works on gates in the hillside neighborhoods above Glenoaks, in the flats near Magnolia Park, and everywhere between, and every job starts with a written price, not a guess.
If your gate won’t open or a hinge has come loose, call (469) 530-2485 and you’ll speak with a live person, day or night.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank’s gate work is shaped by two things: the age of the housing stock and the foothill terrain. Many of the automatic gates we work on in Burbank were installed in the 1980s and 1990s, which means we’re regularly matching older motor systems to newer parts, or replacing a rusted steel frame that’s been sitting in direct sun for 30 years. The hillside streets above Kenneth and Scott Road add another layer: a gate that sits on a slope puts more strain on its hinges and its motor, especially during the Santa Ana winds in fall. We adjust for that with heavier hardware and a closer look at how the gate sits when it’s fully open.
Concrete pad condition matters here too. A lot of Burbank gates are anchored into older concrete that has cracked over time. If the pad isn’t stable, the gate sags no matter how well the hinges are set, and a sagging gate wears out motors and limit switches faster than anything else. That’s the kind of issue a generalist handyman usually misses, and it’s exactly the kind of thing our technicians check on every Burbank service call.
Our Main Burbank Services
Most Burbank homeowners call us for one of two things: a gate that has stopped working, or a motor that runs but won’t move the gate. Below are the three services we handle in Burbank, each with its own page.
Gate Repair in Burbank
Gate Repair in Burbank covers what’s mechanical: hinges, posts, frames, welds, wheels, and the hardware that holds the gate in place. In Burbank we see a lot of hinge wear on older wrought-iron gates in the Chandler Park and Magnolia Park neighborhoods, where original hardware has been opening and closing since before the 2000s. We bring replacement parts for nine major brands, write the price before any work starts, and back every repair with a 365-day written guarantee.
Gate Installation in Burbank
Gate Installation in Burbank is a measured, planned job, not an emergency call. We start with a free site visit to square up the opening, check the base, and give you a written price for the gate you want – swing or slide, steel or aluminum, manual or automated. Burbank’s older neighborhoods sometimes have unusual post spacing or a driveway slope that changes the right approach, so we don’t quote a gate over the phone. Everything is specified before we order, and the price doesn’t move after you approve it.
Gate Motor Repair in Burbank
Gate Motor Repair in Burbank is for when the gate itself is fine but the operator won’t run. That covers limit switches, loop detectors, control boards, and the motor itself. In Burbank’s hillside areas we regularly see motors that have been overpowered by wind load or damaged by an old, stiff gate that forces the motor to work too hard. We diagnose the system first, give you the repair price in writing, and in many cases we can fix a LiftMaster, FAAC, or Viking motor the same day.
