The shop behind every gate replacement job has 11 years in business and over 1,412 projects, a 4 ft walk gate through a 200 ft perimeter run, and the work is warrantied for 3 years of workmanship across welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.

What you can hold us to
Delphine, near the Old Town Overlay, Georgetown
A concrete driveway on soil that moved with the seasons, where the last gate post had leaned
Isidro, off Bagdad Road, Leander
A new build whose builder gate was a thin pipe frame that sagged in the first year

Isidro in Leander, off Bagdad Road, had a thin pipe builder gate that sagged within a year, so we replaced it with two heavier leaves on ball-bearing hinges with dual operators and edge sensors, an estimated $5,200 to $7,400 job on a 16 ft double leaf that took an estimated 2 to 3 days.
Delphine near the Old Town Overlay in Georgetown had a concrete drive on moving soil and a last post that had leaned, so we set deeper post footings, ball-bearing hinges and battery backup on her 14 ft double leaf, an estimated $4,600 to $6,400 in an estimated 2 to 3 days.
Replace when the frame is the problem and repair when the parts are the problem. The table sorts the signs we look for in Georgetown and Round Rock.
| Sign | What it means | Our usual answer |
|---|---|---|
| Sags again after a repair | Frame too light for the span | Replace with a heavier leaf |
| Bent or cracked welds | Metal fatigue at the corners | Replace the leaf |
| Rust through the bottom rail | Water has eaten the steel | Replace the leaf |
| Loose hinge, sound frame | Worn hardware only | Repair, do not replace |
Owners in Steiner Ranch and West Lake Hills often replace a gate to match a new fence, and that is a fair reason when the old leaf cannot be matched. Across Georgetown, Serenada and Rollingwood, the other common reason is a leaf that has been welded and re-welded until it no longer holds its shape.
A new leaf gets working safety sensors, even if the old one had none. DASMA's guidance says at least two warning signs are displayed and most installations need at least two independent entrapment protection means in each direction. Georgetown's UDC limits front yard fences to 4 ft with 50% transparency, which can change the height of a replacement at a street frontage, and a perimeter gate in Sun City Texas needs the Modifications Committee plus a city permit. Texas 811 asks for notice before any post hole. Confirm current rules with the city before you commit, whether you are in Cedar Park, Leander or Steiner Ranch. A replacement is also the right moment to add monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate, because the new leaf is open to the crew and every wire can be run clean.
The replacement runs in this order:
In Volente and Lost Creek, where soil can shift, we reset any post that has moved before the new leaf is hung, because a heavier leaf on a leaning post fails the same way as the old one did.
A replacement is priced by the span, the weight and the operators, so we quote after we measure. For scale, an operator retrofit is estimated at $1,800 to $3,800 for each system, and the two projects above show what a full replacement landed at.
Galvanized steel, powder coat, one operator, photo eyes and keypad
Two leaves, two operators, ball-bearing hinges, battery backup
Track set in concrete, chain or rack drive, edge sensors
Counterbalanced carriage, rack-and-pinion drive, no ground track
Hand-built leaf, keyed or electric strike latch
Motor, photo eyes and remotes added to a gate you already own
Video intercom, keypad or phone entry, delivery codes
Galvanized tube, powder coat, rackable panels
Forged pickets and scrollwork, finish to the lot
Self-closing, self-latching gate priced extra
Field-measured, anchored to code height
Thermal break, glass, pivot hardware
Engineered, delivered and set with a hoist
Inspection, lubrication, sensor and limit checks

Every gate replacement cost listed is an estimate for Georgetown, subject to change once we test the equipment. Your site visit leads to a written quote with the final price and the install schedule, set by the span, the leaf weight and the operators.
If the gate can still be saved, our automatic gate repair page covers the steel side and gate opener repair covers the motor. A new leaf is built to the specs on our steel gate installation page, a full new system is on automatic driveway gates, and a walk-in path may need its own pedestrian entry gate.
After 11 years and 1,412 projects across a 45-mile radius, we have found that a thin builder gate is replaced twice for every time a heavier one is. For that reason we size the leaf to the span; workmanship is warrantied for 3 years, including welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.
We replace gates across a 45-mile radius of the Georgetown shop, including Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander and Serenada. Check the service area page for the remaining towns we cover.
Isidro's 16 ft double leaf in Leander landed at an estimated $5,200 to $7,400, and the final price is the one on your written quote.
Delphine's Georgetown gate and Isidro's double leaf each took an estimated 2 to 3 days.
Often yes if it is sound, and across our 45-mile radius from Georgetown to Lost Creek we test it before we decide.
Repair a sound frame, and replace one that has sagged twice, as Isidro's builder gate did in Leander.
Yes, every operator has a manual release, and in Rollingwood or Sunset Valley we test it before we leave.
A repair can still touch city fence rules in Georgetown or Cedar Park, which is why we check the address up front.

Start to finish
We measure the opening, the grade and the swing or slide path before anything is drawn.
You approve a scaled drawing, the metal, the finish and the operator before steel is cut.
The gate is welded in our shop, then galvanized and powder coated before it leaves for your property.
We set the posts, hang the gate, wire the operator and test every photo eye and safety edge with you.
