Gate Repair in Portland & Vancouver

Usually one of three things: no diagonal bracing, hinges too small for the weight, or a leaning post. We check all three, because fixing the wrong one means the sag comes back.

Not necessarily. Dead remotes, misaligned photo eyes, and tripped breakers cause many 'dead gate' calls. We diagnose before quoting, and repair when repair is the honest answer.

Yes. We handle section repairs, storm damage, and post replacement along with gates. See our fence repair service for details.

No. Estimates are free across our Portland and Vancouver service area.

Usually. Hinges, latches, wheels, and rollers are largely standardized, and we stock or source common sizes. Operator parts are trickier: control boards and motors for discontinued units can be scarce, and once a board is obsolete, replacing the operator often beats hunting used parts. We check availability before quoting so you're choosing between real options, not guesses.

Nine times out of ten it's the gate: a worn hinge, a leaning post, or a bent frame making the operator strain against friction it was never sized for. Running an opener against a dragging gate burns out motors and gears fast. We free up the gate first, then evaluate the operator, because fixing them in the wrong order means paying twice.

Yes, and it's one of our most common repairs. We support or remove the gate, pull the failed post, enlarge the footing, and set a new post plumb in fresh concrete. Once it cures, the original gate goes back on, often swinging better than it has in years. If an old steel post is sound, sometimes re-pouring the footing alone does it.
