Gate Company in Florence - On-Site in 60 Minutes, Fixed the Same Day

Gate Company in Florence, TX

Most of the gate work we take on in Florence starts with a driveway gate on acreage, not a decorative yard gate near downtown. Florence sits on the I-35 corridor between Austin and Waco, and the properties spread out from there tend to have long entries, pipe-rail and ranch-style gates, and automated swing gates that face open-country wind and heavy truck traffic. Caliche soil moves with the wet and dry cycles, so posts go out of plumb and hinges take the load. Whether you need a new gate hung true or an existing one set right, we focus on gates only.

Why Florence Homes Are Different

Housing in Florence runs from older single-family homes near downtown to newer acreage properties and manufactured homes on large lots outside town. That spread changes the work. Near the center of town you’re more likely to see a smaller swing gate on a shorter driveway, while out past FM 195 and FM 970 the gates are wide, heavy, and built to control a property entrance. Either way, most calls here are for driveway and property-entry gates, not small yard gates.

The climate adds its own pressure. Central Texas heat and periodic drought cause metal gates to expand and warp, which throws the latch and the hinge line out of alignment. Caliche-heavy soils shift gate posts during wet-dry cycles, so realignment and hinge repair come up often. On the rural properties off FM 195 and FM 970, automated gates frequently fail after summer power blips, or when caliche heave knocks a post out of plumb. That blackland-to-caliche transition is why post-setting and shimming are part of the job here more than in town. If your entry sits behind an HOA or your property line touches a county road, check the rules before you change the layout, and ask the city about permits for anything structural.

Our Main Florence Services

Florence property owners call us most about two things: fixing a gate that’s stopped working and repairing the electric system that drives it. Each has its own dedicated page.

Gate Repair in Florence

Most gate repair in Florence comes down to alignment, hardware, and the wear that rural entries collect. Caliche movement tips posts out of plumb, hinges carry more load than they were set up for, and latches stop meeting the strike plate cleanly. We look at the whole gate first: the post footings, the hinge line, the frame, and how the gate swings or slides before we touch a single part. Heat warping is common too, especially on wide metal gates that face the sun all afternoon. We diagnose first, then replace only what’s actually worn out. For a closer look at how we handle these calls, see gate repair.

Electric Gate Repair in Florence

Electric and automated gate repair is a core service for us, not an add-on. We work on control boards, operators, receivers, loop detectors, and access hardware, and we handle the brands you likely already own, including Linear and DoorKing systems. On the rural properties off FM 195 and FM 970, a common cause is a summer power blip that resets or damages the operator logic, or a post knocked out of plumb so the gate binds and the safety reverse trips. Open-country wind can also push a swing gate past its limit. For a deeper breakdown, see electric gate repair.

Gate Installation in Florence

New gate work in Florence is shaped by the land. Properties on large lots outside town usually need a wide driveway or property-entry gate sized for trucks and trailers, set on posts that hold in caliche through the wet-dry swings, and built to handle open-country wind. Central Texas heat warps thin metal over time, so material and frame choice matter here more than they would on a short driveway in a subdivision. We handle Gate Installation as a single trade, which means the same specialists who size and set the gate also commission the operator and test the safety devices. Our technicians have up to 13 years of experience. The written estimate sets the final price before any work starts.

Automatic Gate Installation

Signs you need it

You’re opening a long driveway gate by hand every trip, or you want controlled access at a ranch or property entrance without adding a staffed gatehouse.

What it costs in Florence

Automatic gate installation typically runs $3,200 to $7,500, depending on gate size, operator, and whether the power run and safety edges are included.

How we do it

We measure the opening, set posts to proper footing depth, hang the gate and operator, run the low-voltage control wiring, mount the safety edges and photo-eye, then test the full cycle and set the limits.

Driveway Gate Installation

Signs you need it

Your entry has no gate at all, or the existing driveway gate is warped, undersized, or sitting on posts that have shifted out of plumb.

What it costs in Florence

Driveway gate installation is typically $2,400 to $6,000, with heavier ranch and pipe-rail spans and automated hardware landing toward the top of that range.

How we do it

We assess the soil and slope at the entry, set posts to proper footing depth, hang the gate and hardware, then align the latch, hinge line, and any operator so the gate clears and closes cleanly.

What Gate Installation Costs in Florence

These are typical estimates for new gate work in Florence. Every job is measured on site, and the written estimate you agree to is the price you pay.

Do I need a permit for a new gate in Florence?

It depends on what you’re changing. A like-for-like gate swap often needs no permit, but new posts, a wider opening, or changes near a county road or property line may. Ask the city’s building department before work starts, and we’ll flag anything that looks structural.

Can you install a new gate in Florence without my existing brand?

Yes. We’re independent and work on whatever gate and operator fits your property rather than pushing a preferred brand. We’ll talk through the options for wind exposure, span width, and how much automation you want, then measure and order the right system for your entry.

Brands We Service in Florence

We work on your brand, not around it. Our technicians are experienced with LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, so we can usually diagnose by brand logic instead of guesswork. We don’t stock parts locally, so turnaround depends on the part and the brand. See our brands for the full list.
