Gate repair in Carrollton usually costs between $165 and $480 depending on whether we’re resetting a heaved post, replacing rotted wood, or diagnosing an operator that’s stopped responding. We get to Carrollton neighborhoods like those off Old Denton Road, Josey Lane, and Frankford Road quickly, because gate failures don’t wait. A gate that won’t close leaves your yard open to pets, kids, and anyone driving by. A gate that won’t open traps your car in the driveway. Both are problems we fix the same day we arrive, parts in the truck, with the price agreed before we touch a bolt. Call (877) 265-5743 and tell us what your gate is doing, or not doing, and we’ll know what to bring.
Why Pinehurst Gate Repair Is Carrollton’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
We’re gate specialists, not generalists. Pinehurst Gate Repair works on gate systems exclusively, which matters when a Carrollton homeowner calls about a LiftMaster operator that hums but won’t move, or a FAAC board that’s lost power after a storm. A generalist home-service company sees a gate once a month. Our techs see them all day, every day, across 75006, 75007, 75010, and 75011. We know the difference between a bad capacitor and a stripped gear from the sound alone.
Ronnie Beshears leads our team, and the standard he sets is simple: diagnose the real problem, explain it in plain language, fix it right. We work on the brand you already have. Manual or electric, swing or slide, Viking or BFT, we’re fluent in all of it. Carrollton homeowners often tell us they called two or three other companies before us, got vague answers and a sales pitch for a full replacement, and then we showed up and fixed the actual issue in under an hour. We’re not here to sell you a gate you don’t need. We’re here to get yours back to secure.
Styles & brands we work with
Wood Gate Repair in Carrollton
Wood gate repair in Carrollton typically runs $180 to $360 for a post reset, hinge replacement, sag correction, or rebuilding a rotted stile. Most of the wood privacy gates we work on in 75006 and 75007 are original to 1980s and 1990s homes, and the frames have been baking in Texas sun for three decades. The wood dries, the joints open, the hinges tear loose, and the gate starts dragging on the ground or binding against the post. Sometimes the gate panel is fine and the only real problem is the post itself. In Carrollton’s older subdivisions, we see shallow-set posts that the black-clay soil heaved out of plumb, which makes the gate look broken even when the panel is sound.
Post Reset and Footing Repair
When a post has heaved, tightening the hinges won’t help. The post has to come out, the hole has to go deeper, and new concrete has to set before the gate goes back on. It’s structural work, not adjustment work. We do it the right way so the gate stays plumb through the next wet spring and dry summer.
Sag Correction and Realignment
A sagging wood gate puts every ounce of its weight on the latch side and the top hinge, which then tears out and makes the sag worse. We re-square the frame, replace stretched or bent hardware, and set the gate so it swings level. If there’s an opener on it, we check the operator’s travel and force settings after the realignment, because a gate that’s been binding has been overworking the motor.
Driveway Gate Repair in Carrollton
Driveway gate repair in Carrollton typically costs $250 to $480 for a steel or aluminum gate that needs welding, straightening, operator realignment, or track and roller replacement on a slide gate. Automatic driveway gates take the worst of it in North Texas weather. Spring hailstorms bend light gauge metal frames. Straight-line winds knock operators out of alignment. Summer heat stresses motors and control boards, especially on retrofit openers mounted to original 1980s and 1990s posts that were never meant to carry electronics. When a metal gate gets bent, we straighten what’s salvageable and weld what isn’t.
Metal Gate Frame Straightening and Welding
Hail dents and wind bends don’t always mean replacement. We assess the frame, straighten the tubes where we can, reinforce the welds, and repaint the repaired section. If the damage is structural, we’ll tell you straight and quote a new gate panel installed on the existing posts, if the posts are still sound.
Operator Realignment and Repair
A bent or sagging gate knocks the operator out of alignment, and then the motor runs hard against resistance it wasn’t rated for. That burns out boards, strips gears, and shortens the life of the whole system. We re-align the gate first, then tune the operator to travel correctly and stop without slamming or laboring.
Trusted Brands We Service in Carrollton
We work on the brand you already have. Our techs are trained and experienced with LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. That covers everything from a residential swing gate with a Viking arm operator to a commercial slide gate running a FAAC hydraulic unit. We carry common control boards, capacitor kits, remote controls, and limit switches on the truck, so a Carrollton call usually means same-day diagnosis and repair, not a week waiting on parts. If your gate has a brand we haven’t listed, call anyway. We can read wiring diagrams and source what we don’t stock.

AfterCommon Gate Repair Problems We See in Carrollton Homes
- Heaved hinge posts in 75006 and 75007. Shallow concrete set decades ago gets pushed around by expansive black-clay soil, and the post leans out of plumb. The gate sags, binds, and won’t latch, even though the panel itself is fine.
- Storm-bent or wind-loosened metal driveway gates. Spring hail and high winds dent light metal frames and knock operators out of line. The gate starts grinding, stopping mid-cycle, or reversing for no reason.
- Aging retrofit openers on original posts. Many Carrollton homes had automatic openers added to gates and posts that were built in the 1980s and 1990s. The motor strains, gears strip, and the post sometimes moves under the load.
- Wood rot at the stile and hinge points. North Texas humidity in spring and dry heat in summer rot the wood at joints and fasteners. The hinges tear out, the gate drops, and it starts scraping the concrete drive.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Carrollton
First, locate the manual release on your operator, usually a pull chain or a keyed release handle on the motor housing. Pulling it disengages the gate from the motor so you can open it by hand. Carrollton gets plenty of thunderstorms in spring, and power flickers can scramble operator logic boards. If the gate still won’t run after you’ve cycled the power off for 30 seconds and back on, and you’re unsure about the release, call us at (877) 265-5743 and we’ll walk you through it over the phone. And a reminder on safety: if the gate is making a grinding noise or the arm is in an odd position, don’t force the manual release with your body weight. Gate operators carry serious tension. A trained tech can get it sorted quickly.
Because in Carrollton’s 75006 and 75007 neighborhoods, the post is usually the problem, not the hinges. Tightening screws into a post that’s heaving out of plumb does nothing, because the post itself is moving. The expansive black-clay soil in North Texas swells in wet weather and shrinks in drought, and shallow-set posts get pushed around by that movement. The fix is a post reset: dig it out, go deeper, pour fresh concrete, re-hang the gate. It’s real work and it’s the only thing that lasts. Call (877) 265-5743 and we’ll tell you if your post is the culprit.
Look for the UL 325 label on the operator itself, on the control board, or in the owner’s manual. UL 325 is the standard that governs automatic gate safety, covering required entrapment protection like reversing edges or photo-eye sensors. If you don’t see a label and you have an older operator, especially a retrofit on a 1980s or 1990s Carrollton home, the unit may predate the current safety requirements. We can inspect the operator and tell you exactly what it is and what it needs to be compliant. Call (877) 265-5743 to schedule an inspection.
It depends on where the damage is and whether the frame is bent or just the infill panels. Dented pickets and light bends can usually be straightened and welded. A badly kinked frame rail, or a gate that’s twisted so the operator can’t close it, often needs a new gate panel. We’ll tell you straight what’s salvageable and what isn’t. We quote the repair honestly, and if replacement is the better long-term call, we’ll show you why and give you a written price for a new gate hung on your existing posts, if they’re still solid.
We do. Solar openers use a low-voltage DC motor and a battery bank charged by a solar panel, and the common failures are different than AC openers: dead batteries, corroded terminals, shaded panels, and undersized wiring. We can test the panel output, load-test the battery, and repair the operator itself. In Carrollton’s summer heat, batteries age faster, especially if the panel isn’t getting clean sun. If your solar gate is slow to move or won’t hold a charge, call (877) 265-5743 and we’ll figure out what’s failed.
