AfterGate Company in Westminster, CA
We’re Carver Gate Repair, the gate company Westminster homeowners call when a swing gate sags, a slide gate jumps its track, or a motor quits halfway open. Every Westminster job follows the same procedure: a written price before any work starts, a background-checked technician on site, and a written guarantee covering the repair for a full year. Call (469) 530-2485 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Westminster Homes Are Different
Westminster’s housing stock runs from 1950s and 1960s ranchers north of Bolsa Avenue to newer developments along the eastern edge near the Santa Ana border. That age range matters for gate work. Older homes often carry heavier steel or wrought-iron gates hung on posts set decades ago, and those posts settle over time in Westminster’s clay-heavy soil. When the ground shifts through wet winters and dry summers, a gate that swung clean for thirty years starts dragging on the latch side.
Many Westminster properties also sit on compact lots with driveway gates opening directly onto residential streets. That means clearance is tight, and a gate operator has to be sized correctly for the gate’s actual weight and cycle count, not just whatever box was on sale. We see a lot of swing operators that were undersized from day one. Westminster’s climate also puts salt air on gates in the western half of the city closer to Huntington Beach, and that salt accelerates rust on hinges, brackets, and operator arms. Our crews account for all of it: soil, salt, gate weight, and swing clearance.
Our Main Westminster Services
Three jobs cover most of what Westminster homeowners need from a gate company, and each has its own dedicated Westminster page with full pricing and detail.
Gate Repair in Westminster
Most repair calls in Westminster come down to three failures: a gate that drags because a post has shifted, a hinge or wheel that has worn out, or a latch that no longer catches. We straighten, shim, replace, and re-hang before the damage spreads to the gate itself. If your gate groans, catches, or slams, the full scope is on the Gate Repair in Westminster page.
Gate Installation in Westminster
New gate work in Westminster usually means either replacing a rusted-out steel gate or adding a driveway gate where none existed. We measure the opening, check the slope, and spec the gate and posts to hold up against Westminster’s shifting soil and salt air. Expect a written price that includes the gate, posts, hardware, and installation before you commit. Details are on the Gate Installation in Westminster page.
Gate Motor Repair in Westminster
When an operator stops responding or reverses mid-cycle, the cause is usually a bad limit switch, a failed capacitor, a stripped gear, or a control board that lost its programming. We carry parts for the major brands found on Westminster gates and replace only what has failed. The full list of symptoms and fixes is on the Gate Motor Repair in Westminster page.

Whatever the number, you see it in writing before we touch a tool, and that number does not move at the door.
