AfterGate Company in Manor, TX
Carver Gate Repair is the gate company Manor homeowners call when a gate stops opening, a motor quits mid-cycle, or a driveway entrance needs replacing outright. Crews serve Manor directly, and dispatch runs through our Austin office, so calls get answered by a live person at any hour, including weekends and holidays. Most Manor jobs involve heavy steel gates on newer suburban lots, often with smart controls, and the summer heat plus expansive clay soil means proper alignment and solid post anchoring matter more here than almost anywhere else. Call (469) 530-2485 for a free estimate, and you’ll get a written price before any work starts.
Why Manor Homes Are Different
Manor’s housing stock skews newer than the surrounding metro, with developments like Presidential Meadows, ShadowGlen, and Wildhorse Ranch accounting for much of the residential gate work we see. Those communities were built fast and dense, which means gates frequently sit on ground that swells in spring rains and shrinks in August heat. A gate that swings fine in March can bind hard by July. We adjust for that: resetting post plumb, re-aligning hinges, and checking the operator’s travel limits against the actual terrain, not the manufacturer’s default.
Larger lots east of town and along FM 973 sometimes come with ranch-style entrances and solar-powered operators. Those jobs involve longer wire runs, battery banks, and openers that have to handle wind load across a wide gate leaf. Manor sits on the Blackland Prairie, and the clay here drains slowly after a storm, which is why we see more than the usual number of sagging columns and shifting footings on gates that were installed without adequate concrete. It’s a solvable problem, but it takes excavation and rework, not a quick adjustment.
Our Main Manor Services
Two of the three services below account for most calls we take from Manor: repair work on existing gates, and motor repair on operators that have stopped responding. Installation is the third, and it’s a scheduled, measured job, not a same-day call. Each service has its own Manor page with pricing, timelines, and the specific work involved.
Gate Repair in Manor
Most Manor gate repairs fall into a few predictable buckets: welded steel frames that have cracked at a stress point, hinges that have pulled loose from a post, and gates that drag because the ground underneath shifted. We also see a fair amount of damage from vehicles clipping a gate while backing out of a driveway. Technicians arrive with the tools to cut and re-weld on site, and every repair comes with a written guarantee good for a full year. If the fix fails inside that window, the second visit is free. The full breakdown is on the Gate Repair in Manor page.
Gate Installation in Manor
A new gate in Manor usually means a custom steel frame built for the specific driveway width, hung on new posts set in concrete, and finished with either a manual or automated opener. For homes in HOA-managed communities, the association’s design rules often dictate style, height, and color before the first post hole gets dug. We quote the job in writing before any work starts, and the price doesn’t move. The process, timeline, and full scope are covered on the Gate Installation in Manor page.
Gate Motor Repair in Manor
When a Manor gate stops responding to a remote or keypad, the fault is usually in the operator: a failed limit switch, a dead capacitor, a control board that got fried by a power surge, or a swing arm that’s lost its travel adjustment. We carry parts for most major brands on the truck, which means most motor repairs get finished in one visit rather than two. The work is covered by the same one-year written guarantee as everything else we do. Details and prices are on the Gate Motor Repair in Manor page.

What pushes a Manor job toward the top of a range is usually post work: if the column has shifted in clay soil, the fix requires excavation and new concrete, not just a hinge adjustment. Automation also adds cost for safety edges, a loop detector, and the power run to the gate. Whatever the job, the price is written down and agreed before a single part comes off the truck.
