Gate installation in Plantation is a different job than it is almost anywhere else in South Florida. Most driveway and entry gates here sit inside planned subdivisions and guard-gated communities, which means the work has to satisfy an HOA architectural-review board before a single post goes in the ground. Add South Florida’s humid, rainy, hurricane-season conditions and the original operator arms and control boards on 1970s to 2000s homes that are now due for replacement, and you get a job that rewards a gate specialist. We install, repair and troubleshoot automated and manual gates, and we work on the brand you already have. Call (888) 361-0704 for a free estimate.
Why Plantation Homes Are Different
Plantation grew up around planned subdivisions and gated communities rather than piecemeal infill, so the gates here tend to be decorative aluminum, wrought-iron-style or vinyl driveway gates matched to a neighborhood’s look, plus pool enclosures and perimeter fencing. Many of those original operator arms, hinges and control boards are now 15 to 25 years old, which is exactly when motors get tired, boards fail and hinges seize. The climate does the rest: salt-laden humidity, year-round rain and hurricane-season wind loads corrode operators and keypads fast and put real strain on impact-rated, wind-compliant hardware and secure latching.
What really sets Plantation apart is the HOA. Architectural-review boards in the gated-community and country-club subdivisions control the look and operation of driveway and entry gates, so a repair often means matching an existing ornamental style, getting ARC approval and coordinating access with a guarded gatehouse rather than simply swapping a motor. In a guard-gated community, a broken driveway gate creates a security and traffic backup at the gatehouse, so our technicians routinely arrange temporary manual operation and HOA notification before the repair even begins.

Our Main Plantation Services
Plantation homeowners and property managers call us most about two things: getting a gate installed correctly the first time, and getting a gate that has stopped working reliably back into service.
Gate Repair in Plantation
Repair work in Plantation usually starts with a gate that drags, sticks or won’t latch, and the cause is often hinge wear, a bent track or a sagging post rather than anything electronic. Our technicians have up to 14 years of experience and work the full gate from the motor to the hinge, so we diagnose the mechanical and the electrical side together instead of handing you off. In a guard-gated community, we coordinate temporary manual operation and notify the HOA before we arrive. For mechanical and general fixes, see gate repair.
Electric Gate Repair in Plantation
Automated gates here take a beating from humidity and rain, and the failures show up as motors that stall, control boards that misread a command, safety sensors that trip on nothing and wiring that corrodes at the connections. We troubleshoot the full electric system and we’re familiar with LiftMaster, FAAC, DoorKing, Elite, Ghost Controls, Mighty Mule and the other operators common on Plantation properties. Because we handle both the automation and the gate itself, one visit covers the whole system. Details are on our electric gate repair page.
Gate Installation in Plantation
New gate work in Plantation almost always means fitting a system to a 1970s to 2000s Mediterranean-revival or contemporary home where the original gate has reached the end of its run. The replacement has to match the neighborhood’s ornamental style, hold up to salt-laden humidity, year-round rain and hurricane-season wind loads, and satisfy the HOA architectural-review board before installation. That’s the problem we solve: a measured, specified, wind-compliant gate that looks like it belongs and operates reliably. Our Gate Installation work covers both manual and automated systems, and we’re familiar with Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite and Mighty Mule operators across residential and commercial tiers.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re replacing a manual gate, upgrading an aging operator, or the current arm and board are past the point where repair makes sense.
What it costs in Plantation
Automatic gate installation typically runs $3,500 to $9,000, depending on gate size, operator brand and whether the power run has to be extended, with the written estimate setting the final price.
How we do it
We measure the opening, confirm HOA and wind requirements, set the posts and gate, mount and wire the operator, then test the safety edges and cycle the gate before handover.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The gate needs to open automatically, or an existing electric system has failed and replacement is the more cost-effective path than repeated repairs.
What it costs in Plantation
Electric gate installation typically falls between $3,000 and $8,000 for the operator, wiring and controls, and the written estimate fixes the final price before any work begins.
How we do it
We plan the power run and control placement, install the operator with proper safety edges and sensors, wire the keypad or access control, and commission the system with a full cycle test.

Do you handle the power run and the safety edges on a new Plantation gate?
Yes. We plan the power run, mount the operator and install the safety edges and sensors as part of the installation, then test the full cycle before handover. Call (888) 361-0704 for a free on-site estimate.
Can a new gate in Plantation match my HOA’s required style?
Yes. We match the existing ornamental aluminum, wrought-iron-style or vinyl look, and we can account for the architectural-review requirements your community sets. Installation is measured, ordered and scheduled, so call (888) 361-0704 to book a free estimate.
Brands We Service in Plantation
We work on the brands common on Plantation gates, including Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite and Mighty Mule, plus LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear and Viking. We diagnose by brand logic rather than guesswork, and we don’t carry stocked parts, so turnaround depends on the part your system needs. See our brands for the full list.

What Plantation Customers Say
"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
- Kelly Sullivan"Hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
- Ernesto Herrera"Photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that the sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
