AfterGate Company in Addison, TX
Carver Gate Repair is the gate company Addison homeowners call when a gate stops opening, sags off its hinges, or quits responding to the remote. We work exclusively on gates and gate motors, which means the technician who shows up has already fixed hundreds of jobs like yours: swing gates on residential driveways, slide gates on back-alley access, and the control boards, arms, and loop detectors that run them. Addison’s mix of 1970s and 1980s homes, newer infill construction, and a heavy concentration of gated apartment and townhome communities means gate work here runs into every problem a gate can have. Call (469) 530-2485 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Addison Homes Are Different
Addison’s housing stock spans several eras, and each one approaches gates differently. The older single-family neighborhoods along Belt Line Road and the streets west of the Tollway grew up with ornamental iron driveway gates, many now 30 to 40 years old. Those gates have weathered North Texas heat and the occasional ice storm, and the hinges, posts, and welds show it. Newer townhome and patio-home developments around Vitruvian Park and east of Midway Road trend toward aluminum gates with keypad entry and underground loop detection, which means the failure points are electronic rather than mechanical. Clay-heavy soil is the other constant: Addison sits on expansive clay that shifts through wet-dry cycles, and gate posts set in poorly compacted soil lean out of plumb over a season or two. A gate that scraped the driveway last spring may bind and stall the motor by August.
Permit and code realities vary by project. Repairs to an existing gate rarely trigger anything beyond a call to the HOA, if one applies. A full gate installation on a new driveway or a replacement that changes the footprint can require a permit through the Town of Addison, and some HOAs have written standards for gate height, material, and color. The practical point: we tell you which path applies before we dig the first post hole.
Our Main Addison Services
Most calls we take in Addison fall into three categories: a gate that won’t move, a gate that needs to be replaced, and a motor or control system that has failed. Each has its own dedicated page with local detail, pricing, and what the job involves.
Gate Repair in Addison
Gate repair covers the physical structure: sagging gates, broken hinges, bent posts, failed welds, and gates that scrape or bind. In Addison, the age of the original ironwork in established neighborhoods means we frequently see hinge wear and post lean from clay soil movement before the electronics ever fail. We assess the gate’s weight, plumb, and welding, then quote a written price before any work starts. Every repair carries a written guarantee, good for a full year. Read the full breakdown, including what a bent or sagging gate typically costs to fix here, on the Gate Repair in Addison page.
Gate Installation in Addison
New gate installations in Addison start with a measured site visit: driveway width, slope, post locations, and the gate’s weight once hung. We install iron, aluminum, and wood gates, swing and slide configurations, and we coordinate the underground electrical run and safety edges. Addison’s clay soil means post depth and concrete type matter more than they would on rock or sand; a post that shifts in June’s dry heat will be a problem by October’s rain. Every installation is quoted line by line before any work starts. Details on timing, materials, and what a full install includes are on the Gate Installation in Addison page.
Gate Motor Repair in Addison
When the gate is straight and plumb but won’t move, the problem is usually the motor, the control board, or the safety sensors. We repair and replace swing operators, slide operators, arm actuators, keypads, loop detectors, and remote systems. North Texas storms knock out enough power and surge enough boards that control board replacement is a routine call in Addison, and we keep common boards and arm parts stocked for the brands Addison homeowners run. If a repair fails inside the guarantee window, the second visit is free. Full motor pricing, including operator replacement, is listed on the Gate Motor Repair in Addison page.

What pushes a gate job higher in Addison is usually the gate’s age and the soil under it. Heavier iron gates on degraded welds and leaning posts take more time to reset properly, and that work is always quoted before it starts. You get a written price when the technician finishes the diagnosis, and that number does not move.

FAQs About Gate Company in Addison
Same-day for calls placed before early afternoon, and next-morning for late calls. Gates that are stuck open or won’t close are treated as urgent, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 at (469) 530-2485. We give you a real arrival window, not an all-day “sometime between 8 and 5.”
Repairs to an existing gate rarely require anything from the Town. A new installation that changes the footprint or a full replacement may need a permit, and some Addison HOAs have written standards for gate height and material. We tell you exactly which path applies to your project before ordering any materials.
Every repair comes with a written guarantee, good for a full year from the date of service. If the same issue returns inside that window, the second visit is free. The guarantee is in writing, on the repair invoice, before you pay for anything.
