Why Hurst Homeowners Choose Gatewood Fence & Gate
Most calls we get from Hurst start the same way: a homeowner tells us another company said the whole gate has to come down and get replaced. Then we drive out, look at the post, and find the gate itself is fine. The clay did the damage, not the frame. We fix what is actually broken and leave what is not. That repair-first habit is why people off Precinct Line Road and around Bellaire Park North keep our number in their phone. Every job is backed by the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, on every invoice. If it is not right, one call brings Hal back. No runaround, no dispatch queue, no we’ll see what we can do. We also hold a license number you can look up, and the person who shows up in your driveway is the person whose name is on the invoice.
Hurst has a lot of ranch and split-level subdivisions built between the late ’50s and the mid-’80s, and those original wood-post swing gates and chain-link side-yard gates are now 40 to 60 years old. We have repaired and rebuilt gates in neighborhoods like Bellaire Park North and Mayfair, and the pattern is consistent: the post finally gave up in the gumbo, or the freeze snapped a hinge. Either way, the fix is usually local, which means it is usually affordable.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Hurst
Five services cover nearly every gate problem a Hurst homeowner will ever have. Here is what each one involves, in plain terms.
Gate Repair
This is where the 90-Day Done Right Promise gets used the most. We reset heaving posts, re-square racked frames, replace broken hinges, and rebuild sagging gates without hauling them off. On-site welding means the repair happens in your driveway, usually the same day. Learn more about our Gate Repair in Hurst.

Gate Installation
When a gate has genuinely reached the end of its life, or you are adding a gate where one never existed, we install new gates built for Hurst soil. That means wider concrete collars around posts and frames selected for a place that swings from 105°F to hard freezes. Learn more about our Gate Installation in Hurst.

Gate Motor & Opener
Motors fail here for predictable reasons: heat-soaked controller boards, freeze-damaged wiring, and drive arms wrenched out of alignment by shifting posts. We service LiftMaster, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and the rest of the common brands, and we diagnose without selling you a replacement you do not need. Learn more about our Gate Motor & Opener in Hurst.

Gate Access Control
Intercoms, keypads, and vehicle entry for Hurst homes and small acreage properties. We run power, wire safety edges, and program hardware so the gate opens when you want it to and stays closed when you don’t. We will not leave you with a system that needs a factory reset every three months.

Gate Parts & Welding
Sometimes all a gate needs is a new hinge, a welded crack, or a fabricated bracket. We weld on site, match parts when matchable, and fabricate when not. A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that is where we start.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Hurst
We work gate repair jobs across the entire city, from the older streets near the Hurst Public Library to the subdivisions along Brown Trail and Pipeline Road. Typical response time inside Hurst is same-day or next-morning for most repair calls. Here are a few of the areas we visit most often:
- Bellaire Park North
- Mayfair
- Parkview Gardens
- Precinct Line Road corridor
- Brown Trail area
Why Hurst’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Hurst sits on Tarrant County’s notorious expansive black-clay soil, the gumbo that swells after rain and shrinks during every dry spell. A fence post set in that clay does not stay where you put it. Slowly, season by season, the ground works it up and sideways. Gate posts in Hurst’s mature neighborhoods, especially the 1960s through 1980s subdivisions, drift just enough that the latch no longer catches, a swing gate drags on the concrete, or a roller gate binds against its track. The gate was not built wrong and it is not broken. The earth simply moved under it. In much of the city, resetting the post in a wider concrete collar fixes the problem permanently, without replacing the gate. That is the standard local fix, and it is the first thing we check.
Then North Texas weather stacks on top of the soil. Summer heat above 100°F bakes UV-sensitive plastic hinges and vinyl hardware until they are brittle. Winters bring periodic hard freezes that soak into wood grain and then expand, splitting old posts lengthwise. The February 2021 ice storm snapped wooden posts and buckled metal gate frames all over the Metroplex, and Hurst was no exception. A gate here faces heat, freeze, and heaving soil all within the same twelve-month cycle. That is why we do not just swap a part; we check what the ground and the sun have been doing to the whole assembly.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Hurst
Most repair jobs in Hurst run between $120 and $550, with the two most common jobs being a post reset at $180-$340 and a hinge replacement at $120-$280. The price is quoted and agreed before any work starts. Call (903) 829-4499 for a free estimate on your specific gate.
Yes, and in Hurst that is the single most common repair we do. A post that has migrated in the expansive soil usually needs to be pulled, the hole enlarged, and the post re-set in a wider concrete collar. That stops the heaving cycle and keeps the gate square for years.
For a gate that will not close and is leaving your yard or pool unsecured, we typically respond same-day or next-morning inside the city. A live person answers the phone 24/7, so when you call (903) 829-4499, you will talk to a person who can schedule the visit.
We repair motors when they can be repaired. That includes control boards, arm replacements, limit switches, and freeze-damaged wiring. When a motor has genuinely reached the end of its life, we tell you what a replacement costs, and we order a unit that fits your existing gate, not a generic swap.
Everything we touch. Hand parts, welded joints, installed motors, reset posts, access control wiring. If any of it fails within 90 days because of our workmanship, we come back and make it right at no charge. It is written on every invoice, not buried in a quote.

What Hurst Customers Say
"Hundred and forty feet of cedar privacy fence, all posts set in concrete, all of it dead level on ground that is anything but. He walked the line with me twice before a single hole was dug."
- Judith Stallworth"Operator had died and the manufacturer no longer makes the board. Rather than sell me a whole new system he found a compatible unit and adapted the mount. Saved me a great deal of money."
- Salvador Arredondo"Beautiful gate and solid work. The build took about three weeks longer than the estimate because he was waiting on the ironwork, and I would rather have known that at the start than found out along the way."
- Beatrice Nwosu
