Most of the calls we take in Northglenn start the same way: a driveway gate that used to swing clean now drags, or an automatic opener that runs but no longer latches. Northglenn’s mid-century ranches and split-levels sit on expansive clay that moves through Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles, and that ground movement is behind a lot of the gate problems here. We’re a gate-only company, so every job on our schedule is a gate job. Whether you need a LiftMaster operator sorted out or a whole new driveway gate built, call (877) 330-0618 and we’ll get you a free estimate.
Why Northglenn Homes Are Different
The housing stock in Northglenn is dominated by 1950s through 1970s single-family ranches and split-levels with attached garages. Many of those properties still have their original wood privacy fencing and driveway gates, and those gates have taken decades of Front Range sun and snow. The bigger issue is what’s underneath them. Northglenn sits on expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry, and combined with the high-desert freeze-thaw pattern, that heaves gate posts up and sideways. A gate that swung fine in July can catch the ground by January.
The climate does the rest. Intense UV dries and warps wood, dry air pulls joints apart, and spring hail and winter snow load put real stress on frames and hinges. In older Northglenn subdivisions, posts were often set in shallow concrete footings that crack and tilt after repeated freezes. That’s why we routinely find gates that drag only in winter or after a wet spring – the gate itself is fine, but the post has moved. Anything we build or reset in Northglenn gets a proper footing depth for that reason. Check with the city on permits before you build, and read your HOA rules on fence and gate height before you pick a design.

Our Main Northglenn Services
Two calls come in more than any other from Northglenn homeowners: a gate that’s broken or misbehaving, and an automatic system that’s stopped doing its job. Here’s what each involves.
Gate Repair in Northglenn
A repair visit starts with the gate itself before we touch any motor: hinges, latches, post plumb, panel alignment, and how the gate meets the ground across its full swing. In Northglenn, that last check matters, because seasonal soil movement is often the real culprit behind a gate that drags in winter and clears up in summer. We reset posts, rehang panels, replace worn hardware, and true up latches so the gate closes the same way every time. For a manual gate that’s sagged or sticking, see gate repair and we’ll get a technician out to look at it.
Electric Gate Repair in Northglenn
Automatic systems fail in specific ways, and diagnosing them correctly the first time saves you from repeat visits. We work through power, control board, safety edges, limits, and the operator’s mechanical drive in order, so we find the actual fault instead of guessing. We know the common brands cold, including DoorKing access systems on multi-unit properties and Elite operators on residential drives. If your automatic gate won’t open, reverses halfway, or beeps and stops, electric gate repair covers what we check and how we test before we call it fixed.
Gate Installation in Northglenn
Gate installation in Northglenn has to solve two problems at once: a design that suits a mid-century ranch or split-level lot, and footings that hold through clay soil and hard freezes. When we quote a new gate here, we plan the post depth around that ground movement before we ever talk about the operator. From the first repair to a full new installation, we handle the whole arc, so you don’t have to find another company as your needs grow. Everything runs through Gate Installation, and every job starts with a free on-site measure and a written price.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want a gate that opens without leaving the vehicle, or your existing manual gate has become a daily hassle to get in and out of.
What it costs in Northglenn
A complete automatic gate installation typically runs $3,500 to $8,500, depending on gate type, operator, and the power run.
How we do it
We measure the opening, set posts to proper footing depth for the soil, mount the operator, run power, fit safety edges, and test the full cycle with you before we leave.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway is open to the street, the old gate has warped past saving, or you’re replacing a wood gate that never matched the house.
What it costs in Northglenn
Driveway gate installation typically runs $2,200 to $6,500, with the span, material, and hardware driving the number.
How we do it
We survey the drive and grade, set the hinge and latch posts, hang the panel square, fit hardware and stops, and set the latch line true to the post.

Do I need a permit for a new gate in Northglenn?
Often yes, so check with the City of Northglenn building department before work starts, and check your HOA rules on height and style too. We include permit questions in the free measure.
Can you install a gate on clay soil without it sagging?
Yes, when the posts are set to proper footing depth and the concrete is poured to handle ground movement. Northglenn’s expansive clay is the main reason we plan footings before anything else.

What Northglenn 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
