Driveway Gates in Woodland Hills

The bigger the gate, the less forgiving it is. A driveway gate that is a fraction out of square will fight its operator every single cycle.

We square the frame, reset what needs resetting and replace worn running gear, then set the operator to suit the gate as it now sits.

Sliding Gates in Woodland Hills

A sliding gate is only as good as the track it runs on. Debris, a settled footing or one worn roller is enough to stop a heavy gate dead.

We clean and check the track, replace worn wheels and guides, and reset the limits so the gate stops where it should.

Swing Gate Repair Woodland Hills

Everything on a swing gate hangs off two hinges and one post. When that post moves even slightly, the far edge of the gate moves a lot.

We reset or replace posts, re-hang the leaf square, and fit hardware rated for the actual weight of the gate.

Automatic & Electric Gate Repair Woodland Hills

Automatic gates around Woodland Hills combine a physical gate with mechanical and electrical equipment. When one stops working the problem is not necessarily the gate itself — it may be the operator, motor, controls, sensors, remotes, safety equipment or wiring.

Gate Sensor & Access Control

Safety sensors, keypads, remotes, receivers and intercoms all have to agree with each other. We troubleshoot the complete system rather than swapping parts.

Residential Gate Repair

From a walk gate that no longer latches to a large automatic entrance, we repair gates on Woodland Hills homes and multifamily property alike.

Gate Operator Repair

The operator opens and closes an automated gate. On a busy Woodland Hills driveway that is hundreds of cycles a month, and they eventually develop mechanical or electrical problems.

Wood & Metal Gate Repair

Wood gates split, warp and loosen in the the San Fernando Valley sun. Metal gates develop alignment problems, damaged hardware or failures at welded joints.

Commercial Gate Repair

We service gates for apartment buildings, businesses and parking areas across Woodland Hills, where a gate that fails is a problem the same morning.

What to know before you book fence contractor in Woodland Hills

Choosing someone in Woodland Hills

Get the material spec in writing, not the brand name. Ask whether the bottom rails are reinforced on long spans, and whether there is ground clearance under the boards.

A quote that is dramatically cheaper than the others has the saving hidden somewhere you cannot see, and on a fence that is almost always the footings or the timber grade.

What Woodland Hills Fence Contractor usually involves

Every run is different. We measure the line, check what the ground is like, look at access for materials, and work out whether the existing posts can stay. That last question decides most of the price.

Most jobs start the same way: we walk the line with you, look at what is already there and find out what is actually failing. On a Woodland Hills property that usually means checking the posts before anything else, because a fence almost always gives up at ground level long before the boards do.

Repair or replace?

We would rather fix what you have than sell you something new. Telling a Woodland Hills customer their fence has years left in it is a shorter conversation, but it is the one that gets us called back.

If the structure is sound we repair it. Posts that are still solid, a frame that is still square and hardware that can be replaced usually add up to a repair rather than a rebuild.

What San Fernando Valley weather does to it

Sun is the quiet killer here. UV breaks the surface down and greys the timber, which is cosmetic at first and structural eventually. Sprinklers are worse: a head throwing onto the boards keeps them permanently damp at the base.

Santa Ana winds do the visible damage. A solid privacy fence is a sail, and all of that load goes into the posts, which is why a footing that seemed fine for years fails in one October night.

How long it takes

A straightforward residential run is usually a day or two on site once materials are in. Posts go in first and the concrete needs time before anything hangs on them, so the work is not continuous.

Most fence jobs are measured in days rather than weeks. What stretches a schedule is removal of what is already there, difficult access, or ground that fights the digger.

How we work

One crew, one point of contact, and a written price with nothing hidden in it. We clear up properly at the end, which sounds like a small thing until someone does not.

We come out and look, we tell you what we found, and you get the price in writing before anything starts. If we think replacement is better value than repair, we say so.

Working across San Fernando Valley

We cover Woodland Hills and the surrounding communities including Canoga Park, Hidden Hills and Tarzana, so we are rarely far away when something needs looking at quickly.

Woodland Hills sits within our regular working area alongside Canoga Park, Hidden Hills and Tarzana. Being local matters more than it sounds: it is the difference between coming out this week and coming out next month.

Will a new fence match my existing one?

We match material, spacing and finish as closely as we can. New timber next to weathered timber will not be an exact match until it has aged a season, and we will say so up front rather than after.

Can you repair just one section?

Usually, yes. That is one of the advantages of a fence over a panel system — boards, rails and individual posts can be replaced without touching the rest of the run.

Do you take the old fence away?

Yes. Removal and disposal is priced as part of the job rather than sprung on you at the end, and it is a real cost when there are concrete footings to break out.
