Gate installation in San Diego. Built square, hung true, stays that way.
Every sagging gate in the county is the same problem: a hinge-side post that moved, or a frame that wasn't built with anti-sag hardware from day one. We build gates that stay square for the life of the fence. Walk gates, double-drive gates, and full automatic openers.
What's included in this service?
- Walk gates: 3-ft, 4-ft, and custom widths — matched to fence material
- Double-swing drive gates: 8-ft, 10-ft, 12-ft, 14-ft, 16-ft
- Single-swing drive gates with longer hinge-side post and bracing
- Automatic gate openers: Liftmaster, FAAC, Doorking, Ghost Controls
- Intercom and keypad access controls
- Solar-powered opener kits for properties without electrical at the gate
- Anti-sag cable kits installed from day one (not after it droops)
- Pool gate code compliance — self-closing, self-latching, 60-inch latch release
- Sagging gate repairs and re-hangs — usually under 90 minutes

What do homeowners ask about Gates?
My gate sags — can it be fixed without rebuilding?
Almost always yes. Sagging gates are usually a hinge-post that moved, a frame that racked, or hinges that loosened. We reset the post if needed, install an anti-sag cable kit to pull the gate back square, and adjust or replace hardware. Most gate repairs take under 90 minutes and cost $180–$450.
How much is an automatic driveway gate?
Opener-only installs (gate already built): $1,200–$2,400 depending on single vs double swing and brand. New gate plus automation: $3,500–$7,500 for a standard 12-ft double-swing wood or metal gate with a reliable opener, keypad, and safety beams.
Do automatic gates need power at the gate?
Not necessarily. Solar-powered kits work well for moderate-duty-cycle driveways (10–30 cycles per day). Higher-use properties or complex installs benefit from a dedicated circuit run to the gate. We assess duty cycle and power options in the quote.
Pool gate code — what's required?
California code requires pool gates to be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch release at least 60 inches above grade or inside the pool area. Gates must open outward (away from the pool). Fence height at the gate must match the barrier height. We install to exact code spec every time.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Got three quotes for a new cedar fence. Fence Pros was the only company that actually walked the whole line, pulled the HOA spec, and showed me a stain sample before quoting. Clean crew, clean jobsite, beautiful finish.
Our 12-year-old fence was leaning bad and I thought we needed a full replacement. They installed steel post inserts on six posts, saved the panels, and the fence looks great for another decade. Saved me thousands.
Needed a code-compliant pool fence before our home sale. They came out same-week, quoted honestly, and installed glass panel fencing that passed inspection on the first try. Handled everything — measurement, hardware, final walk-through.
