Same-day automatic and electric gate repair across Dripping Springs. The Austin Estate Gate team diagnoses and fixes gate operators, motors, sensors, keypads, circuit boards, and limestone-shifted posts — with common parts on the truck and over 17 years on Hill Country properties.
Dripping Springs' Hill Country limestone shifts gate posts out of alignment faster than any soil type in the Austin metro — and sustained summer temperatures above 100°F burn through motor capacitors in half their rated lifespan.

| Season | What to check |
|---|---|
| Spring | Clear cedar pollen and oak debris from tracks and sensors after pollen season; check post alignment after winter moisture. |
| Summer | Test the operator and capacitor before sustained 100°F+ heat stresses the motor; confirm solar/battery backup. |
| Fall | Clear falling leaves and branches from swing paths and photo-eyes; inspect hinges and rollers for wear. |
| Winter | Inspect electrical connections and surge protection ahead of freeze events; lubricate moving parts against cold-weather stiffness. |

"These guys were great. We were looking at different options… They took a look at both options and provided suggestions and pricing for each. When we decided to motorize the bottom gate, we also deciding to include a package drop box to be installed inside the gate against the fence. They handled all of it, including coming back when we couldn't put together the drop box the first time. They were efficient, courteous, and very knowledgeable. I would use them again in a heartbeat!"
