Gate Company in Aurora - Same-Day Service, Priced Before We Start

Gate Company in Aurora, CO

Aurora’s gates take a beating. The city’s semi-arid freeze-thaw cycles work posts loose in expansive clay, and the 1970s – 90s building boom left behind a huge inventory of aging fences and gates that are now failing at scale. Gate installation in Aurora has to answer both: a footing deep enough to hold in that clay, and a gate that clears the ground through every heave and settle. We’re a gate-only company, working on everything from a Mighty Mule driveway opener to a FAAC slide gate. Call (877) 330-0618 for a free estimate.

Why Aurora Homes Are Different

Aurora is a city of layers. Original Aurora still holds 1950s – 60s ranch homes, Village East and Pheasant Run filled in with 1970s – 90s tract housing, and Saddle Rock came later in the 2000s. That spread matters because most properties sit behind wood privacy or chain-link fencing, and much of it is now 20 – 40 years old, showing rot, leaning posts and worn hardware.

The climate drives the rest. Winter nights below freezing and mild days create constant freeze-thaw, which heaves posts and cracks wood. Summer hail and high winds knock gates off hinges and bend frames. In older Aurora neighborhoods like Village East, gates often sag because the original 4×4 posts were set only 18 inches deep in expansive clay; after a wet spring the whole fence line shifts, and code-compliant repairs now call for 24 – 36 inch footings.

HOA rules add another layer. Master-planned communities like Heather Gardens and Saddle Rock dictate exact stain colors and fence styles, so a replacement has to match what the association approved, not just what fits the opening.

Our Main Aurora Services

Most Aurora homeowners come to us for one of two things: a gate that has stopped working, or a new one that needs to be built right the first time.

Gate Repair in Aurora

Repair work in Aurora usually starts with the ground, not the hardware. A gate that drags, catches or won’t latch is often sitting on a post that has heaved in the clay or shifted after a wet spring, which is why we check footing and frame alignment before we touch a hinge. Sagging chain-link gates, rotted wood frames and bent steel all get looked at the same way: what moved, and why. Our technicians have up to 10 years of experience. For a full breakdown of what we fix, see Gate Repair in Aurora.

Electric Gate Repair in Aurora

When an automatic gate stops opening, the fault can live in the operator, the wiring, the safety edges or the board. We diagnose by brand and model, so a FAAC or BFT problem gets treated as the specific system it is rather than a guess. Aurora’s summer hail and wind bend frames and knock gate leaves out of alignment, which then loads the operator and trips it. We check the gate’s mechanical travel first, because a misaligned gate will keep failing a perfectly good motor. Details are on our Electric Gate Repair in Aurora page.

Gate Installation in Aurora

New gate work in Aurora is shaped by the ground it sits in. Expansive clay and hard freeze-thaw cycles mean a footing that would hold in softer soil can heave here within a season, and the 1970s – 90s housing in Village East and Pheasant Run often leaves gates aligned to fences that have already shifted. Whether it’s a driveway gate for a Saddle Rock property or an automatic entry system for a Heather Gardens home, we plan the installation around the soil and the site, not a stock footprint. Every install starts with a free on-site measure and a written price, and you’ll see the full scope before anything is ordered. You can read more about our Gate Installation work and how we scope a project.

Automatic Gate Installation

Signs you need it

You’re tired of opening the gate by hand every time you pull out, or the property has an entry that’s too wide or too heavy to manage manually.

What it costs in Aurora

Automatic gate installation in Aurora typically runs $3,500 – $9,000, depending on gate size, material, operator choice, and how much trenching the power and control run needs; commercial-grade operators and wide openings push it toward the top. The written estimate sets the final price.

How we do it

We measure the opening, confirm the operator and safety setup for the gate’s weight and width, set footings to proper depth for the clay, mount and align the gate, run power and control wiring, then test travel, safety edges and limits before we hand it over.

Driveway Gate Installation

Signs you need it

An existing driveway gate has rotted, bent or come off its posts, or you’re adding a gated driveway where a fence line already runs.

What it costs in Aurora

Driveway gate installation in Aurora typically costs $1,800 – $7,500 for the gate and its hardware, with swing gates and entry-level operators like Linear or Viking at the lower end and heavy custom builds higher; the written estimate sets the final price.

How we do it

We lay out the opening against the existing fence line, dig footings deep enough to hold in Aurora’s clay, set posts, hang and level the gate for ground clearance through the seasons, then install the operator and hardware and test the full swing or slide.

What Gate Installation Costs in Aurora

Do you need a permit to install a gate in Aurora?

Usually, yes, especially for a driveway gate, an automated gate or anything tied to a new fence line. Requirements vary by project and by property, so check with the City of Aurora before work starts and ask your HOA too. Call (877) 330-0618 for a free estimate.

Can you install a gate that fits my HOA rules?

We can match the style, color and material your HOA requires, since master-planned communities like Saddle Rock and Heather Gardens set specific fence and gate standards. Get the approval details from your association before ordering, and we’ll build to them. Call (877) 330-0618 for a free estimate.
