AfterGate Company in Schertz, TX
Gate repair in Schertz, TX typically runs $150 – $450 for mechanical fixes and $350 – $900 when a motor or control board is involved. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, and we always place a written price in your hand before any work begins. Schertz sits on the I-35 corridor just northeast of San Antonio, and the mix of newer subdivisions, acreage properties, and established neighborhoods means we see almost every type of gate hardware in the field here. If your gate won’t open, sags on its hinges, or the motor runs but the arm won’t move, call us at (469) 530-2485 and a live person will answer.
Why Schertz Homes Are Different
Schertz is spread out. It isn’t one housing pattern repeated block after block. You have mid-century homes near Main Street, 1990s and 2000s subdivisions around the high school corridor, and larger custom lots with long driveways on the east side toward FM 1518. Each setting produces its own gate problems. Long driveway gates on acreage lots take a beating from wind and heat cycles, and their operators run more cycles per day than a suburban courtyard gate on a quiet cul-de-sac. Steel driveway gates in Schertz also contend with the same limestone-heavy soil that the rest of the greater San Antonio area knows well: it holds moisture after rain and shifts during dry stretches, which gradually pulls post footings out of square. When a post moves even a quarter inch, the gate leaf drags or the latch stops lining up.
Several Schertz HOAs require perimeter and driveway gates to stay fully operational as part of the community’s overall appearance standards. A gate hanging open or a keypad that doesn’t respond isn’t just a nuisance on those streets; it’s something the management company will flag. We work around those rules with plain reports and a repair that holds up to re-inspection.
Our Main Schertz Services
Schertz homeowners call us most often for two things: a gate that physically won’t move, and a motor system that runs but won’t open the gate. Here is where each one gets started.
Gate Repair in Schertz
A sagging or dragging gate is the most common repair in Schertz, and it’s usually traced to worn hinges, a shifted post, or a weld that has cracked after years of the gate being pulled through wind gusts that whip across the open fields on the east side of town. We repair the hardware, re-align the gate leaf, and set the travel limits so the operator isn’t working against its own weight. This is the page to start with if the gate scrapes, binds, won’t latch, or has a visible lean. Gate Repair in Schertz covers specific symptoms and what they cost.
Gate Installation in Schertz
New gate work in Schertz is planned work, not emergency dispatch work. We measure the opening, check the condition of the posts and the approach, and order the right width and weight class for how the gate will be used. A driveway gate for a property off FM 3009 with a long run of fence needs a different operator than a pedestrian gate inside a subdivision. We quote the gate, the mounting hardware, and the operator as one written price. Gate Installation in Schertz walks through the options and the process.
Gate Motor Repair in Schertz
When the motor hums but the arm doesn’t move, or the keypad takes the code but nothing opens, the problem usually lives in the limit switch, the loop detector, or the articulating arm itself. We keep Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing parts on the truck for Schertz jobs so most motor failures are handled the same day we arrive. The full detail on motors, boards, and safety edges is on the dedicated page. Gate Motor Repair in Schertz covers the systems we work on and the typical timeline.

The two things that move a Schertz job toward the top of a range are the weight of the gate and the distance the operator has to travel. A custom steel driveway gate on an acreage lot costs more to repair than a standard aluminum pedestrian gate inside a subdivision, because the parts are heavier and the labor takes longer. Whatever the number is, it’s written down and agreed to before the first tool comes off the truck.
