Yes. Austin Estate Gate offers same-day emergency repair for situations where your gate is stuck open (security risk), stuck closed (blocking access), or presenting a safety hazard.
Call (512) 296-2671 and let us know you need emergency service. We prioritize emergency calls ahead of scheduled work.
We recommend annual preventive maintenance for residential gates and semi-annual service for commercial gates with high daily cycle counts. Regular maintenance prevents costly emergency repairs and extends the lifespan of your gate system.
In Austin's climate — summer heat, humidity, and occasional freeze events — annual maintenance is especially important. Heat accelerates motor wear, humidity promotes corrosion, and freeze-thaw cycles can shift foundations.
Yes. Vehicle impact is one of the more common gate damage calls we receive.
Depending on the severity, we can repair bent panels, straighten posts, replace damaged sections, and recalibrate the operator. If the gate is beyond repair, we can fabricate a replacement that matches the original design. For structural and welding repairs, our mobile welding team can perform the work on-site.
Yes. The gate opener — the operator — is the motor unit that drives your gate, and it's the part we repair most often. We diagnose and fix the operator on all major brands, and replace it like-for-like when it's past repair.
We service operators from LiftMaster, DoorKing (DKS), Viking Access Systems, US Automatic, Ramset, Apollo / FAAC, Nice / HySecurity, and Linear. When an operator is beyond repair, we replace it with a like-for-like unit and recalibrate the gate so it runs the way it should.
Same-day in most cases across Austin and the Hill Country.
"I had a really great experience with estate gates. They helped me out on a Sunday when my gate would not open — they even let me keep the key. Then they came back and fixed the gate and have always been super accommodating and professional, along with reasonably priced."
"Charles and Mars did excellent work here at Another Closet in Fredericksburg TX. Above and beyond — got my gate working better than before it was broken. Recommend these two 10 out of 10."
"I have worked with Anthony at my properties for years. He has always been flexible and easy to work with. I find him to be trustworthy, dependable, and always delivers on what he says he will do. When I need service he is there within 24 hrs and always honors warranties."
"We had them install a driveway gate at our home — they showed up every day on time, had professional installers who took their time, a salesperson who gave us 5 different options, then did the work on time, on budget. When my own ignorance required help, they showed up the same day, fixed my issue, educated me with patience and professionalism. Highly recommend this team."
"Our gate stopped working during the cold snap. I didn't catch the name of the person who answered the phone — the day before Christmas Eve, no less — but he was super helpful and talked my husband through how we could get the gate open to make it through the long holiday weekend. Thank you for taking the time to help us."
