If you need someone out here, call (469) 530-2485 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail.
Why Artondale Homes Are Different
Artondale sits on the Gig Harbor peninsula just west of the Narrows, and the local housing stock shapes most of the gate work we do. Many properties were built from the 1970s through the 1990s, which means a fair number of swing gates and slide gates are original to the home. The steel posts and hinge hardware have been sitting in wet, salty air for decades. That combination, more than anything else, is what we see failing on Artondale gates: hinge bolts rusted through, post bases gone soft at ground level, and operator arms that bind because the frame has shifted a quarter inch out of square.
Slope is the second factor. A number of Artondale homes sit on graded lots where the driveway falls away from the street, so a gate that looks level at the latch can be working uphill at the hinge. That changes how the motor loads, and it’s often the reason an operator that tested fine in a shop burns out a limit switch eight months later. We account for grade when we spec a motor or set a closing force.
Our Main Artondale Services
The two calls we hear most from Artondale are gates that won’t open and motors that run but don’t move the gate. From there, the work branches into full replacements and new installations. Each service has its own Artondale page with pricing and specifics.
Gate Repair in Artondale
Repair calls in Artondale usually start as a gate that’s sagging, dragging, or binding at one end. The fix is often a hinge rebuild, a post reset, or a weld on a cracked seam before the motor burns itself out trying to move a gate that no longer swings true. We write the price before work starts and back the repair for a full year. See Gate Repair in Artondale for what a typical repair costs here.
Gate Installation in Artondale
New gate projects in Artondale range from replacing a rotted wooden driveway gate to building a steel frame with an automated slide operator. We measure the driveway grade, check the post depth against the wetter soil near the water, and quote the full job in writing before any material is ordered. Gate Installation in Artondale covers the process and the price range.
Gate Motor Repair in Artondale
When the gate itself is fine but the motor hums, clicks, or does nothing, the problem is usually in the operator: a limit switch, a control board, or a loop detector that’s lost its signal. We stock parts for FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking systems and dispatch techs who work on those brands every week. Gate Motor Repair in Artondale has the breakdown of what we fix and what it runs.

The two things that push Artondale jobs toward the higher end are grade work, when a sloped driveway needs a post set deeper or a frame re-squared, and rust damage that means replacing hardware rather than tightening it.
