Gate Repair

What This Service Involves

Constant moisture and seasonal swelling cause Puget Sound gates to droop, drag, and refuse to latch. Our technicians diagnose the real cause, whether it is a racked frame, worn hinges, a heaved post, or hardware corroded by our damp air. We square the frame, reinforce joints, and swap in weather-rated stainless or galvanized hardware that resists rust. Your gate leaves our visit hanging level and latching on the first try.

Benefits

Restores smooth operation to a dragging or stuck gate; Replaces rusted hinges and latches with corrosion-resistant hardware; Reinforces sagging frames without full gate replacement; Improves security by getting the latch to seat properly; Extends the life of the surrounding fence line

Our Process

1) Evaluate the gate, posts, and hardware for the root cause; 2) Reset or brace the gate post if it has shifted; 3) Square and reinforce the gate frame as needed; 4) Install new weather-rated hinges and latch, then test the swing

What Affects the Cost

Extent of frame or post damage; Whether the gate post must be reset; Grade and type of replacement hardware; Gate size and weight; Access and site conditions around the gate

Best Time of Year

We handle gate repairs all year, but drier summer weeks are ideal when a heaved post needs to be reset in fresh concrete.
