How long does a typical new gate installation take?

Most standard new gate installations for single family homes take our experienced Midland crews 6-8 hours from demolition of old fencing to full clean-up and completion. Larger wood, iron or motorized electric gate installs can sometimes take several days depending on scale and complexity.

In many cases, yes. We handle the entire Midland county and city permit application process for you from start to finish as part of our gate installation services, providing any required drawings, documentation and payments to the municipality on your behalf so your new gate project remains compliant. Permits often apply for front yard gates in Midland, while backyard gates may be exempt from permitting depending on specific circumstances.

What are some signs my gate may need repair?

Common clues suggesting your existing gates could benefit from our skilled repair services include sagging or misaligned gates, sticking or dragging gates, gaps in perimeter fencing around the gate allowing animals or people to enter, locking mechanisms and latches that fail to work properly, damaged or missing gate hardware, corroded or rotting wood, absent safety features, and more.

What factors influence the cost of gate repairs?

No two gate repair jobs are ever quite the same, but factors that can increase repair costs include the need for full gate replacement rather than just component repairs, specialty wood or ornamental gate materials, extensive disassembly/reassembly labor, demolition and disposal fees if old gates require replacement, commercial versus residential gates, emergency rush repairs, and other aspects our technicians note upon visit.

Do you also perform regular gate maintenance?

Yes, we encourage new and existing gate owners to enroll in our preventative annual maintenance program. This helps minimize the need for surprise gate repairs down the road.

Maintenance visits include ensuring proper gate operation and balance, lubricating moving parts to prevent rust-related friction and wear, testing/adjusting safety release mechanisms, clearing debris and vegetation, inspecting/replacing worn or damaged hardware components before they fail outright, applying protective sealants, and more based on gate type and setting. Maintenance plans are very affordably priced.

Will I need to paint a new wood gate once installed?

For long term performance and appearance, yes. We offer professional wood gate painting services. But even if you choose to paint it yourself, we recommend applying at least an initial protective stain or sealant to all sides of newly installed wood residential and commercial gates in Midland within 30-60 days.

This aids durability and prevents premature checking, cracking, rotting or wood splitting. Annual touch up coats after that are also advised. We’re happy to provide wood gate staining advice specific to Midland climate and use conditions.

How long should a newly installed gate reasonably be expected to last?

When our experienced Midland gate installation crews construct and mount your new custom gates properly to manufacturer specifications using quality materials, hardware and workmanship, you can typically expect a minimum of 15-25 years of reliable function before major overhauls are needed.

With reasonable preventative maintenance, high end wood, wrought iron, aluminum or industrial strength automated electric gates often last 40-50 years or more before requiring replacement. We build gates intended to outlast the properties they safeguard.
