Gate Company in Tigard - Fast Local Response, Upfront Pricing

Gate Company in Tigard, OR

Installing and repairing driveway gates in Tigard means working with a specific kind of property: 1960s through 1980s single-family homes, side-yard and driveway gates that have been through decades of wet Willamette Valley winters, and posts that have shifted in clay soil. We install new gates here, and we tell Tigard homeowners up front that a new gate has to be measured against what the ground and the existing posts will actually hold. Our technicians have up to 8 years of experience, we work on nearly every major gate brand, and we do gate work only. Call (866) 942-6384 for a free estimate.

Why Tigard Homes Are Different

Most of the gates we see in Tigard were bought with the house. In the 97223 corridor, that means wooden swing gates on original hinges, chain-link gates on posts that have been set for decades, and some early ornamental iron. The gates were installed when the homes were built and never re-hung. The clay soils underneath don’t help. Posts heave in wet weather and settle when it dries, and the gate that lined up in October won’t latch by February.

The climate adds a second layer. Tigard’s wet, mild winters and rainy springs swell wooden gates, so boards bind against the frame and the frame itself absorbs water. Metal hardware rusts tight. Then dry summers shrink and warp those same boards and loosen posts in the sun-baked clay. That seasonal swing means the same gate can stick in one season and swing loose in another, so a repair that works in July may need a different adjustment by November. We plan gate work in Tigard around that cycle rather than fighting it. Any permit or HOA approval for a new gate depends on the property, and the city and your HOA are the ones to confirm it.

Our Main Tigard Services

Two jobs cover most of what Tigard property owners call us about: getting an existing gate working again, and getting a gate system’s operator and controls working again.

Gate Repair in Tigard

Gate repair in Tigard usually begins with the frame and the posts rather than the gate itself. When a wooden post has heaved after a wet winter, the gate drops, the latch no longer meets the striker, and the hinges take the strain. We diagnose the cause before touching hardware, because re-hanging a gate on a post that has moved only buys a few months. Chain-link and ornamental iron gates bring their own issues: rusted hinges, bent frames, dividers that have separated from the top rail. Call Gate Repair in Tigard when a gate that used to close cleanly now drags, catches, or sits crooked in the opening.

Electric Gate Repair in Tigard

An automated gate that stops responding in Tigard is often a control or operator problem, not a gate problem. We work on the operator, the control board, the safety edges, the wiring, and the power side, and we check the gate’s mechanical travel first so we aren’t diagnosing a board fault when the real issue is a binding hinge. Brands like Linear, Viking, and DoorKing all behave differently when they fail, and knowing the difference saves guesswork. Start with Electric Gate Repair in Tigard if the arm moves but the gate doesn’t, if it reverses mid-travel, or if the operator is dead.

Gate Installation in Tigard

Gate Installation in Tigard is shaped by the housing stock. Most homes here got their first gate with the house, four or five decades ago, and that gate is now beyond re-hanging. The posts have shifted in the clay, the wood has swelled and shrunk through too many wet winters and dry summers, and the hinges are rusted into place. A new gate solves a problem the old one can’t be repaired out of. We measure the opening, check what the ground will hold, and build the new gate to the grade and slope the property actually has. Full details on the process are on our Gate Installation page, and estimates are free.

Driveway Gate Installation

Signs you need it

The existing driveway gate sags out of the frame, the posts move each season, and re-hanging it no longer gets the latch to line up.

What it costs in Tigard

Driveway gate installation in Tigard typically runs $1,800 to $6,500, depending on the width, the material, whether the posts need to be reset, and whether an operator is included.

How we do it

We measure the opening and the slope, confirm footing depth for the posts, set new posts to proper depth in the clay, then hang and align the gate so it swings clean through the full arc before any hardware is finalized.

Automatic Gate Installation

Signs you need it

You’re tired of getting out of the car in the rain, or you want a driveway gate that actually gets used by everyone in the household.

What it costs in Tigard

Automatic gate installation in Tigard typically falls between $2,500 and $8,000 for a residential system, with the operator, safety edges, and controls accounting for much of the range.

How we do it

We choose an operator that matches the gate’s weight and swing, run power to the operator, mount the arm or slide mechanism, install the safety edges, and set the open and close limits before testing the full cycle.

What Gate Installation Costs in Tigard

Does a new gate need a permit in Tigard?

That depends on the gate, the height, and where it sits relative to the property line, so ask the City of Tigard before you order anything. We’ll tell you what we need from you at the measure, and the written estimate sets the final price.

Can you match a new gate to an older Tigard home?

Yes. We build to the opening and slope the property has, so a new gate can look right against a 1970s ranch or a mid-century home. Materials and hardware are chosen at the measure, and nothing gets ordered until you approve the written price.

Brands We Service in Tigard

We work with nine major gate brands, including Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing, and we diagnose them at the source rather than swapping parts until something works. We don’t stock parts in Tigard; parts are ordered to the job. That’s the honest turnaround picture, and it’s why we measure and quote before anything is ordered. See our brands for the full list.
