What moves the number
The lines that set your price
New gates
Opening width, material, how much ornament the design carries, the grade of the driveway, and the footings it needs. Automation and access control also affect the written price.
Automation and retrofits
The operator, the access control you choose, and how far power has to run to the gate. On a retrofit, the estimate also accounts for any repairs the existing gate needs first.
Repairs
Whether it's a part, an adjustment, or a failed operator — and whether that operator is still worth repairing. A repair visit is a $45 service call, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and the price is written down on site before any work starts.
Fencing and commercial work
Fence is priced per linear foot once the run is measured: height, material, grade, and the number of gates set it. Commercial work is quoted from a site survey, where span, duty cycle, and access control drive the scope.
Quoted on site, from a measurement or a drawing
These depend too much on the run, the design, or the system to publish one range. We measure, then price every piece in writing.

Questions about price
What a price covers, and what happens before you sign.
“Automatic driveway gate” covers very different jobs: a single swing gate on a level driveway close to power, and a wide, ornamental slide gate on a slope with a long power run and a video intercom. The starting price is the simpler end; your written estimate shows exactly where yours sits and why.
Commercial projects are quoted by scope. Opening size, traffic, fencing, controls, supporting construction and installation arrangements determine the estimate. A fixed percentage above a residential price is not a reliable way to budget a commercial entrance.
Yes. A repair visit is a $45 service call, credited toward the repair if you go ahead. We diagnose on site and write the price down before any work begins. If an operator isn’t worth repairing, we tell you and price the replacement as a separate option, so you can compare the two. Visits after 8 pm carry an after-hours charge, and after midnight it is $300–$400 extra, so if it can wait until morning, we’ll suggest that.
Yes. Every estimate is done in person at your property, written, itemized, and free, and there is no pressure to sign on the spot. For a new gate, fence, or garage door, the written PDF quote follows within 1–2 business days. Call to set one up, or send the short form and we’ll call you to schedule a visit.
