Gates We Build & Repair
Craftsman Wood Gates
Solid tongue-and-groove boards with open vision slats up top. The timeless look for Spanish, Craftsman and bungalow homes.
Steel-Frame Wood Gates

Pedestrian gates that match your fence and finish, hung on heavy adjustable hinges.

Automatic Gate Openers
Driveway gate automation with keypads, smart access and safety sensors, sized to the gate weight.

Heavy-duty adjustable hinges, latches, and keyed or smart locks — the parts that get used every day.
Gate Repair & Re-Hang
Fix a sagging or dragging gate, replace posts, re-true the swing, and upgrade tired hardware.

Areas We Serve
Frequently Asked — Gate Installation
Will my wood gate sag over time?
Not when it is built with a steel frame or proper bracing and hung on heavy adjustable hinges anchored to solid posts. Sagging comes from undersized hinges and weak joinery — which we avoid.
Can you automate a driveway gate?
Yes — automatic openers with keypads, smart access and safety sensors, sized to the gate weight.
Single or double gate for my driveway?
Double (two-leaf) gates are standard for driveways and wide openings; a single leaf suits narrower spaces. We confirm what fits your opening and swing.
Do I need a permit?
Standard pedestrian and side gates usually do not. Tall gates, automated driveway gates, or gates in certain zones may — we handle the research.
How long does it take?
A single custom gate is typically a few days; a double driveway gate with posts and automation runs about one to two weeks.
