AfterGate Repair Services in Flower Mound, TX
When your driveway gate stops opening in Flower Mound, it’s rarely a slow decline. One morning the motor hums and nothing moves, or the gate hangs at an angle it didn’t have yesterday, or you hear a metallic *pop* from the hinge and the whole panel shifts six inches. That’s the moment you need someone who knows Flower Mound’s gates, not a general handyman with a wrench and a guess. Gatewood Fence & Gate has been fixing gates since 2001, and you’ll get a live person on the phone at (903) 829-4499 whether it’s Tuesday afternoon or Sunday night.
Most gate repairs in Flower Mound fall into three categories: mechanical (hinges, posts, weld breaks), electrical (operators, circuit boards, safety sensors), and structural (sagging panels, shifting posts, misaligned tracks).

If it’s not done right, one call brings him back.

Why Flower Mound Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Flower Mound isn’t a town full of cheap, interchangeable gate systems. The housing stock is dominated by large brick-and-stone custom and semi-custom homes from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, and a high percentage of those homes have automated ornamental iron or steel driveway gates on long private driveways. Those gates were built with commercial-grade operators: Viking, Elite, LiftMaster CSW. They’re now 15 to 25 years old, and they’re failing at the same time across the entire community.
We’ve been the repair shop neighbors in Wellington, Bridlewood, and Tour 18 call when the national companies tell them to replace a $4,000 gate over a $300 motor capacitor. That’s the thing about us: we repair first. We don’t pressure you into a replacement because it’s easier for us. Hal started Gatewood Fence & Gate in 2001, and his name is still the one on the shop. The person who answers the phone is the same person who will show up at your gate.
Every technician on the truck is background-checked and uniformed, and we’re certified to service nine major gate brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. When we quote a price, it’s the price. We don’t show up at your door with a different number than the one we gave on the phone. And before any work starts, you’ll have the full price in writing, agreed to, with the 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped on the bottom.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Flower Mound
Gate Repair
From sagging panels and broken welds to seized hinges and post issues, we repair the gate that’s already in your driveway. We don’t sell you a new one because it’s a bigger commission. We fix the panel, the post, the hinge, the latch, and we do it right the first time.

Gate Installation
If your gate is genuinely past saving, or you’re building new and need a gate from the start, we install ornamental iron, steel, and aluminum driveway gates matched to your home’s character and your HOA’s architectural standards. We’re not a national outfit that drops a prepackaged gate on your driveway and disappears. We measure, order, fabricate what’s needed, and install it ourselves.
Learn more about our Gate Installation in Flower Mound.
Gate Motor & Opener
When your gate opens partway and stops, or the motor grinds and nothing moves, the opener is usually the culprit. We service and replace motors, control boards, safety sensors, and remote systems from LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. We test the full system after the repair, not just the part we replaced.
Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Flower Mound.
Gate Access Control
For properties that need more than a clicker, we install and service keypad entry, intercom systems, magnetic locks, and phone-based access control. If you need to let the pool guy in without giving him a key, or your gate needs to work with your HOA’s approved access protocol, we can set that up.
Call us to discuss access control in Flower Mound; we’ll walk you through what fits your gate and your budget.
Gate Parts & Welding
Sometimes a gate needs a weld, not a replacement. We do on-site welding, and we stock or source parts for older Gates, Viking, Elite, and DoorKing systems that other companies won’t touch because they can’t find the part. If your gate is 20 years old and still solid except for one cracked weld, we’ll fix the weld and you’ll keep the gate.
Learn more about our gate parts and welding by calling (903) 829-4499; if we don’t have the part, we’ll source it and give you a straight answer about timing.

Why Flower Mound’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Flower Mound sits on Denton County’s expansive black clay soil, and that clay is the reason your gate sags. It shrinks aggressively during the hot, dry summers, when temperatures push past 100°F for weeks at a time, and it heaves back when fall and winter rains return. The result: gate posts slowly drift out of plumb season after season. A gate installed perfectly level in spring can be visibly dragging by late August, not because anyone did anything wrong, but because the ground itself moved.
Then come the winter ice storms. Flower Mound gets them more often than the southern DFW suburbs, and when they hit, we see a spike in frozen hydraulic operators and cracked control boards. Water works into the housing, freezes, expands, and shorts the board. It’s a pattern as predictable as the weather.
And here’s the part a lot of people don’t think about until the letter arrives: Flower Mound’s HOA architectural review committees actively issue violation notices for misaligned or cosmetically damaged gates. A gate that’s slowly sagging isn’t just an inconvenience; it can become a compliance problem with a deadline attached. That’s why we make gate repairs a priority when the clay starts to move.
The HOA Factor: Why You Can’t Just “Patch It” in Flower Mound
Flower Mound’s identity as one of DFW’s most affluent master-planned suburbs, built out primarily in the 1990s and 2000s, has produced a dense concentration of ornamental iron driveway gate systems that are now 15 to 25 years old and failing simultaneously. That’s not a coincidence; it’s math. And because the town’s numerous HOA-governed subdivisions enforce strict architectural covenants, homeowners cannot simply patch an aging gate or swap in a generic replacement from a big-box store.
Repairs and components have to match community-approved materials and aesthetics. Your HOA doesn’t want a vinyl gate where there’s been ornamental iron for twenty years, and they can tell the difference from a mile away. That’s why a qualified local gate specialist, someone who actually knows what the architectural committee wants to see, is essential rather than optional. We’ve worked on gates across enough Flower Mound subdivisions that we know what flies with the HOA and what draws a violation letter.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Flower Mound
Here’s what we tell people on the phone, straight up: a typical gate repair in Flower Mound runs anywhere from $180 for a simple hinge replacement to $650 for a more involved mechanical fix like a broken weld on a 16-foot driveway gate.

Full motor replacements vary by brand: a Mighty Mule replacement starts around $1,200, while a commercial-grade Viking or Elite operator can run $2,500 to $3,200 installed.
Your price is quoted and agreed before any work starts. We don’t do “estimated range” games, and we don’t find extra problems after we’ve already started that double the invoice. If we find something unexpected, we stop, call you, explain what we found, and get your sign-off before we touch it.
Remember our standing offers: $40 off any repair over $200, no trip charge inside the county, a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another company, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. Call (903) 829-4499 and we’ll give you a real number.

Your gate stays right where it belongs, and the repair happens there.

If we’re repairing your existing gate with matching materials, your HOA architectural committee won’t have an issue with it. We’re not changing the appearance or altering the structure; we’re restoring what’s already approved. When a component does need to be replaced, we match it to the existing materials and finish so it stays within community covenants. That’s standard practice for us on Flower Mound gates.
We’re certified to service nine major gate brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule.

What Flower Mound Customers Say
"He came out in the snow to get our gate closed after a delivery lorry clipped it, then came back in the spring to do the proper repair when the ground had thawed. Only charged for the second visit."
- Ingrid Solheim"Driveway gate had been dragging for two years and two other companies told me the whole thing needed replacing. Hal reset the posts, rehung it and it swings like it did when it went in. A fraction of the price of a new one."
- Hollis Amberly"Operator had died and the manufacturer no longer makes the board. Rather than sell me a whole new system he found a compatible unit and adapted the mount. Saved me a great deal of money."
- Salvador Arredondo
