The gate work we do in Littleton almost never looks the same twice. One driveway needs a new wrought-iron double gate that clears a city-reviewed HOA style guide, and the next needs a manual side-yard gate rehung after our clay soils have pushed the post out of plumb. We install gates, and that means we walk the property, check the hinges, the posts, and the soil under them before we quote a number. Call (877) 330-0618 for a free estimate.
Why Littleton Homes Are Different
Littleton sits on a split personality when it comes to gates. The older core neighborhoods of the 1950s through 1970s are full of long, generous lots with manually hung driveway and side-yard gates, and many of those posts were set decades ago in ground that has been moving ever since. Along the Platte corridor, the soil carries a lot of bentonite clay. It swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, and a post that was plumb at install can lean within a few seasons. That’s a repair here, not a hinge adjustment, and we treat it that way.
Then there’s the other half of the city. The western and southern edges of Littleton, around Ken Caryl and the Highlands Ranch border, are 1990s and 2000s HOA-planned subdivisions where ornamental iron, vinyl, and composite gates are the norm. Those gates come with design review. HOA rules often dictate the style, height, color, and material of anything visible from the street, so a replacement has to match an approved look, not just fit the opening. Freeze-thaw cycles and spring snow loads work on both worlds, warping wood and sagging hinges, while summer sun and hail strip vinyl and composite panels faster than in a milder climate.

Our Main Littleton Services
Most of the calls we get from Littleton fall into two groups: a gate that has stopped working and needs to be repaired, and a gate that needs to be built and hung from scratch.
Gate Repair in Littleton
Gate repair in Littleton usually starts with the ground. A gate that drags, sticks, or won’t latch on an older ranch lot is often a post problem, not a hardware problem, and we check the footing before we touch a hinge. The freeze-thaw swings along the Front Range also work over hinges, latches, and wood frames, and hail and summer sun do their share on vinyl and composite panels. We work on both manual and powered gates, so if the trouble turns out to be in the operator rather than the panel, we handle that too. For the details, see Gate Repair in Littleton.
Electric Gate Repair in Littleton
An automatic gate that opens halfway, reverses for no reason, or ignores the remote is usually a control or safety-edge problem, not a gate problem. On the newer HOA lots around Littleton, we see plenty of LiftMaster and Elite operators, and on the older properties we still find linear-arm and older control boxes that need a proper diagnosis. We work through the power supply, the control board, the safety edges, and the motor in order, so you’re not paying for parts you didn’t need. More on that at Electric Gate Repair in Littleton.
Gate Installation in Littleton
Installation is where the two halves of Littleton really pull apart. On an older ranch lot in 80126, we’re usually setting new posts into clay that hasn’t held a straight post in years, and the answer is proper footing depth, not a bigger hinge. On the newer HOA streets, the first conversation is about design review: the gate has to match an approved style before anyone digs. We approach Gate Installation as a measured job, not a same-day one. We look at the property, take dimensions, work through the design and material with you, order the gate, and schedule the install around the weather and the HOA approval.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
An existing driveway gate that has rusted through, been hit by a vehicle, or that a growing household has simply outgrown is the most common sign it’s time to replace rather than repair.
What it costs in Littleton
A new driveway gate installation typically runs from about $1,800 to $6,500, depending on the material, the width, and whether an operator is part of the job.
How we do it
We measure the opening and check the ground conditions first, then set the posts to proper footing depth to account for Littleton’s shifting clay, hang the gate and hardware, and confirm the swing and latch before we call it finished.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
If you’re tired of getting out to open the gate by hand, or you’re managing a property where a manual gate slows every arrival, automating it is the change you’re looking for.
What it costs in Littleton
Adding an automatic operator to a driveway gate usually runs from about $1,200 to $4,000, depending on the operator and whether new power needs to be run to the gate post.
How we do it
We match the operator to the gate’s weight and swing or slide type, run the power and control wiring, mount and set the operator, then tune the limits and test the safety edges before handing you the remotes.
What Gate Installation Costs in Littleton
These are typical ranges for Littleton, and the written estimate you get after we see the property sets the final price. Nothing starts until you’ve seen that number and agreed to it.
| Item | Typical range in Littleton |
|---|---|
| Manual driveway gate, installed | $1,800 – $4,500 |
| Automatic gate operator, added | $1,200 – $4,000 |
| Full automatic driveway gate, installed | $2,800 – $6,500 |
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a new gate in Littleton?
A new gate usually needs both a city permit check and HOA sign-off, so call your city building department and your HOA before ordering materials. We can walk you through what the install will involve, but the approval is yours to secure.
How long does a new gate installation take in Littleton?
A typical residential gate installation takes one to three days once the gate and hardware have arrived. The measuring and design work comes first, so the whole process from first visit to finished gate is usually a few weeks.

AfterPricing for Gate Company in Littleton, CO
Every range below is typical for Littleton, and your written estimate sets the final number once we’ve seen the gate and the ground. Our technicians have up to 10 years of experience and will tell you plainly what’s likely to drive the price up here: post replacement in bentonite clay, HOA-required styles that cost more in materials, and power runs to a remote gate post. Nothing starts before you agree to the quote.
| Service | Typical range in Littleton |
|---|---|
| Manual driveway gate, installed | $1,800 – $4,500 |
| Automatic gate operator, added | $1,200 – $4,000 |
| Full automatic driveway gate, installed | $2,800 – $6,500 |
| Sliding gate, installed | $2,000 – $5,500 |
| Gate post re-set in clay soil | $350 – $1,200 |
| Hinge and latch replacement | $150 – $450 |
| Gate operator control board replacement | $300 – $900 |
| Safety edge and photo-eye service | $250 – $650 |
| Gate sag repair and realignment | $250 – $800 |
In Littleton, the two biggest price drivers are the ground and the HOA. A post that needs to come out and go back into clay costs more than a hinge swap, and a gate that has to match an approved ornamental iron or composite style costs more in materials than a simple wood build. We give you the written number before any work starts, and that number is what you pay.

What Littleton Customers Say
"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and installed a surge protector on the line so it hopefully doesn't happen again."
- Jeff Gallagher"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
- Luis Castillo"Gate works properly now and the price was fair. The one thing is that it took two visits, because the operator model we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They didn't charge for the second trip."
- Danielle Hayes
