AfterGate Company in Haltom City, TX
Gate repair in Haltom City usually runs between $175 and $650 for most residential calls, and a full motor replacement typically lands between $850 and $1,900 depending on the operator and how much of the existing bracket and wiring can be saved. We’re Carver Gate Repair, and we work exclusively on gates and gate motors across Haltom City, so the technician who shows up knows the difference between a swing arm that’s binding and a control board that’s sending a false limit reading. Call (469) 530-2485 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Haltom City Homes Are Different
Haltom City sits on the northeast side of the Fort Worth metro, where the soil is a mix of clay and loam that expands and contracts through the year. That movement is hard on gate posts. A post that was plumb in March can be leaning by August, and a leaning post means the gate leaf drags, the hinges bind, and the operator pulls more amps than it should. We see more post-related gate failures in Haltom City than in areas with sandier soil, and the fix is often more involved than simply adjusting the hinges.
The housing stock matters too. A lot of Haltom City homes were built between the 1960s and the 1980s, and many of the driveway gates on those properties were added later, which means the original electrical run wasn’t always planned for a motor. Some gates run on conduit that’s undersized for a modern swing operator, and we regularly find undersized wire feeding gate motors in neighborhoods off Denton Highway and Broadway Avenue. That’s a real condition, not a sales line, and it changes what the repair looks like on the quote.
Haltom City also sees hail. It’s part of living in this part of Tarrant County, and after a bad storm the control boxes and photo eyes on driveway gates take a beating. Hail cracks the plastic housings, and moisture gets into the circuit boards weeks later, long after the storm is forgotten. If a gate worked fine before a storm and then started acting up a month later, corrosion inside the control box is where we look first.
Our Main Haltom City Services
Most Haltom City homeowners call us for one of three jobs: a gate that won’t open or won’t stay closed, a motor that’s quit or running intermittently, or a full replacement after years of repairs. Each has its own page on this site, with specifics on cost, timeline, and how we approach the work in Haltom City.
Gate Repair in Haltom City
Repair work in Haltom City often starts with the gate itself before we ever touch the motor. The soil shift and post lean we described above means a lot of “motor problems” are actually mechanical problems: sagging gate leaves, worn hinges, a bent track, or a chain that’s lost tension. We fix all of it. Every repair gets a written price before we start, and every repair carries a written guarantee good for a full year. Gate Repair in Haltom City
Gate Installation in Haltom City
Installing a gate in Haltom City means planning for the soil before the post holes are dug. We size the concrete footings for the clay-loam mix, set the posts deeper than code minimum on long driveway runs, and run the power so the operator isn’t starved for current. Whether it’s a single swing gate off a side yard or a double leaf across a driveway, the site gets measured, the plan gets written, and the price gets agreed to before any material is ordered.

Gate Motor Repair in Haltom City
When a motor quits, the most common causes in Haltom City are failed capacitors, burned limit switches, bad loop detector circuits, or a control board that took a surge during a thunderstorm. We diagnose it on site, explain what failed and why, and quote the repair in writing before we turn a wrench. We carry parts for all the major brands, so most motor jobs finish on the first visit.

Post lean and gate weight push prices up faster than anything else in Haltom City. A heavily sagged steel gate takes more labor to square, and a motor that’s been straining against that sag for a year often needs more than just a new capacitor. Whatever the number, you get it in writing before we start, and that number doesn’t move.
