AfterGate Company in Converse, TX
Gate work in Converse isn’t the same as gate work in San Antonio proper. The lots are bigger, the setbacks are deeper, and the soil here shifts with every dry spell and downpour. That means a gate that swung cleanly in May can drag in August. When a gate stops opening, fails to close, or leaves a car trapped on the wrong side of the driveway, you need a gate company in Converse that understands the local ground and the local hardware. We do. Call us at (469) 530-2485 and a real person answers, day or night.
Why Converse Homes Are Different
Converse sits on the northeast edge of Bexar County, where housing stock runs from 1970s ranch homes to newer subdivisions. The older properties often have steel tube gates on pipe posts set in concrete pads poured decades ago. The newer ones tend toward ornamental iron and automated slide gates. Both wear differently in this climate.
The soil is the quiet variable. Converse sits over clay-heavy ground that expands when wet and contracts when it dries. A post that shifts half an inch is enough to throw a gate out of plumb, so the hinges bind and the opener strains. Summer heat does its own damage: capacitors in motor boards fail, chain tension changes, and photo-eye lenses cloud with dust. We account for all of it on every Converse job, from the first measurement to the final limit-switch adjustment.
You’ll also find plenty of homes with gate openers installed by builders who didn’t leave room in the control box for a loop detector or a battery backup. That’s normal here, and it’s fixable without tearing out the whole system.
Our Main Converse Services
Most calls from Converse homeowners fall into three buckets: a gate that won’t move, a gate that needs to be replaced, and an opener that’s burned out or acting up. Each one has its own page so you can read exactly what the job involves and what it costs before you call.
Gate Repair in Converse
A sagging gate, a broken hinge, a wheel that’s chewed through its track – these are common Converse failures, especially on the heavier steel gates common in older subdivisions. We straighten, re-hang, weld when needed, and reset the opener so the gate travels clean. Soil shift and summer heat both accelerate wear, so we check the post bases and the travel path, not just the obvious break. If the gate’s worth saving, we save it. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you before any money changes hands. Read the full breakdown on our Gate Repair in Converse page.
Gate Installation in Converse
New gate work in Converse means matching the existing fence line, setting posts deep enough for clay soil, and choosing hardware rated for the gate’s actual weight, not the builder’s estimate. We install swing gates and slide gates, manual or automated, on existing columns or fresh posts. Every installation starts with a site measurement and a written quote that includes the gate, hardware, and any opener work you want done at the same time. Details and typical project pricing are on our Gate Installation in Converse page.
Gate Motor Repair in Converse
When the gate is fine but the opener won’t respond, the problem is usually in the motor, the control board, or the safety sensors. Converse’s heat and dust get into vented opener housings and kill capacitors faster than they should. We troubleshoot and repair motors across nine major brands, stock common parts locally, and replace limit switches, loops, and remotes on the same visit when possible. If the motor is beyond repair, we’ll quote a replacement on the spot. See our Gate Motor Repair in Converse page for what’s covered.

Any added work is quoted before we touch it. The written price you approve is the price you pay. That’s the standard, not a courtesy.
