Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in steel gates, specializing in galvanized steel gates, powder-coated tubular steel, and steel driveway and walk gates. We offer single-leaf, double-leaf and sliding designs in steel, with aluminum, forged iron and Cor-Ten weighed beside them.
Our team provides measuring, welding, finish coating and hanging, delivering a gate that stays straight for homes and a hard-wearing gate for both residential and commercial projects. Over 11 years and 1,412 projects, from a 4 ft walk gate in a stucco side-yard wall to a 12 ft galvanized double leaf, every job has come with a 3-year workmanship warranty that spans welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.
From the galvanized tube that resists rust to the hinge that keeps a heavy leaf from sagging, our team handles every detail of a 12 ft gate or a 4 ft walk gate. Serving Georgetown along with Lost Creek, Cedar Park and Round Rock, we help owners pick the metal before they pick the design.
Call us for a free estimate and we will measure your opening in Lost Creek, Georgetown or Cedar Park, talk through the metals, and quote the gate in writing.
What you can hold us to
Ulysses, off Lost Creek Boulevard, Lost Creek
A lot where the owners were not sure which office to ask or which deed restriction applied
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Ulysses lives off Lost Creek Boulevard in Lost Creek and wanted a gate that would stand up to summer sun without repainting. We built a 12 ft galvanized flat-panel double leaf from steel tube, powder coated a weathered brown, and hung it on heavy hinges so the leaves close without dragging. The estimated cost was $4,200 to $5,800 and the install typically took 2 to 3 days.
Steel and ornamental metal are priced by the linear foot, and the metal you pick sets the number, with aluminum generally estimated at $25 to $75 and forged iron at $85 to $130. Tubular steel is generally estimated at $50 to $85 a linear foot in Georgetown, Cedar Park and Round Rock, and a double-leaf gate like Ulysses's 12 ft gate in Lost Creek lands in the estimated $4,200 to $5,800 range.

| Ornamental walk-through gate | Est. $600 to $1,500 | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
Figures for steel gates are estimates, subject to change. Your written quote after we measure sets the final price and the schedule, and gate width, metal and finish move it most.
Each metal has a job it does best, and owners in Lost Creek, Leander and Georgetown weigh the same four. Steel is strong and hard to climb and lasts 20 to 50 years, aluminum never rusts and lasts 30 to 50 years, forged iron lasts 50 to 100 years and needs a repaint every 3 to 5 years, and Cor-Ten forms a rust skin by design.
| Metal | Est. cost per linear foot | Life and care |
|---|---|---|
| Tubular steel | Est. $50 to $85 | 20 to 50 years with a good coat |
| Aluminum | Est. $25 to $75 | 30 to 50 years, no rust |
| Forged iron | Est. $85 to $130 | 50 to 100 years, repaint every 3 to 5 years |
| Cor-Ten | Est. $80 to $150 | Rust skin forms by design |
We cut the tube in our Georgetown shop, weld the frame square, and send the parts for a hot-dip galvanized coating so rust cannot start from the inside. Then comes a multi-stage wash, a zinc-phosphate primer and an electrostatic polyester powder coat. On site we set the posts 24 to 36 inches deep in concrete, hang the leaf on ball-bearing barrel hinges sized to its weight, and adjust until the gate swings and latches without a push, as we did on Ulysses's 12 ft gate in Lost Creek.
Across 1,412 projects the common failures are a leaf that is too heavy for its hinges, a post set too shallow, and a scratch through the coat that is never touched up. We set posts 24 to 36 inches deep in concrete and size the hinge to the leaf. If you already have a steel gate that sags in Round Rock or Leander, tell us in the estimate, because a bent frame sometimes needs a new leaf instead of a patch. Coatings wear, so we make no rust-free promise; the 3 years of workmanship warranty we give cover welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel, not a scratch from a truck in Round Rock.
Pair the steel with the fence it joins, since a Georgetown gate and a 60 ft front run in Old Town should share one 3 to 5 mil powder coat. Our wrought iron gates page covers forged designs, our wrought iron fencing page covers the fence line, and our pool safety fencing page covers aluminum barriers.
Our lead welder builds every gate in the Georgetown shop and our owner checks the swing before the crew leaves Cedar Park, Leander or Lost Creek. Across 1,412 projects over 11 years, we learned that the right metal matters more than the right scroll, which is why Ulysses's Lost Creek gate started with a galvanizing choice and not a pattern book.
We build steel gates across a 45-mile radius, including Cedar Park, Round Rock and Leander. Lost Creek, Serenada and Sunset Valley owners ask about deed restrictions, and Ulysses's 12 ft gate was checked against Lost Creek's rules first. Steiner Ranch and Volente owners ask about hillside swings on a 40 ft drive. West Lake Hills and Rollingwood owners ask about muted finishes on a 22 ft frontage, and every town is listed on our service area page.
Owners with a new gate often add a custom entry door, an iron railing, or an ornamental walk-through gate.
For tubular steel, the estimate is $50 to $85 a linear foot, and the final price for the gate comes from your written quote.
Steel is stronger and lasts an estimated 20 to 50 years, while aluminum costs an estimated $25 to $75 a linear foot, lasts 30 to 50 years and never rusts, so a Round Rock or Georgetown owner near water often picks aluminum.
Forged iron can last 50 to 100 years but needs a repaint every 3 to 5 years, so a Georgetown owner should budget for the repaint.
Most steel gates take an estimated 1 to 2 days on site in Georgetown or Leander, and Ulysses's 12 ft gate in Lost Creek, a double leaf, typically took 2 to 3 days.
Cor-Ten is a steel that forms a stable rust skin by design, and it is estimated at $80 to $150 a linear foot, above the $50 to $85 tubular steel we hang in Lost Creek.
Galvanized tube resists rust on its own, and we add a powder coat 3 to 5 mils thick for color and extra protection on every Lost Creek or Cedar Park gate.

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.
