Gate installation in Pantego usually means replacing a gate that was first hung when the house was built, sometimes 50 or 60 years ago. The original steel or wood has done its job, but North Texas clay has shifted the posts, the hinges have worn egg-shaped, and the operator, if there ever was one, is obsolete. We handle the full replacement: pulling the old frame, setting new posts deep enough to resist the seasonal heave, and hanging a gate that will stay square for decades. If you’re weighing repair against replacement, call us at (866) 321-6117 and we’ll give you an honest read before any work is quoted.
Why Pantego Homes Are Different
Pantego is a small, fully built-out inner-ring municipality in ZIP 76013, wedged between Arlington and Dalworthington Gardens. Nearly every driveway gate, privacy gate, and backyard fence gate here sits on lots platted in the 1950s through the 1970s. That means gate work in Pantego is overwhelmingly rehab work: sagging hinges, rotted posts, tired operators on aging residential gates, not new-install business on fresh lots. A repair tech builds a reputation block by block in a town of roughly 2,500 people.
The housing stock is dominated by mid-century ranch and traditional single-family homes on generously sized lots. Wood privacy fences, decorative iron driveway gates, and side-yard gates are now 40 to 60 years old. Post rot, hinge fatigue, and out-of-square frames are the routine calls. On top of that, the expansive clay soils here swell and shrink with the wet-dry cycle, so gate posts heave and lean seasonally. A post that was plumb in March will be visibly leaning by August. Summer heat warps wood and stresses automatic gate operators, and spring storms can rack or blow down panels. Any gate work in Pantego has to account for that ground movement from day one.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pantego Services
Most Pantego homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a gate that no longer swings or latches the way it should, or an electric gate that has stopped responding to openers, keypads, or sensors.
Gate Repair in Pantego
A sagging driveway gate or a side gate that drags on the concrete is the most common call we get from Pantego homes built in the 1960s and 1970s. The fix usually involves re-hanging the gate on new hinges, replacing a rotted post, or re-plumbing a frame that years of clay-soil movement have pulled out of square. We work on wood, iron, steel, and aluminum gates, and we carry the heavy-duty hardware that holds up in North Texas weather. See the full scope at Gate Repair in Pantego.
Electric Gate Repair in Pantego
When an automatic gate in Pantego stops opening, the cause is usually electrical rather than structural: a dead control board, a failed sensor, a loop detector that no longer sees the car, or an operator motor that burned out in the summer heat. We diagnose the whole system, from the opener to the safety edges, and we stock parts for most major brands. Our electric gate work is detailed at Electric Gate Repair in Pantego.

Gate Installation in Pantego
Installing a new gate in Pantego typically means working around existing posts that have shifted over decades in expansive clay soil. We set new posts below the frost line and the active soil layer, because a gate installed correctly here will stay square while the ground around it moves. For a detailed look at our installation process and options, visit our Gate Installation page.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your current gate opens manually and you want keypad, remote, or intercom access without getting out of the car.
What it costs in Pantego
Expect to pay between $2,850 and $7,200 for a complete automatic gate installation in Pantego, depending on gate size, opener type, and power run distance.
How we do it
We mount the operator, run power and low-voltage wiring, install safety sensors and a keypad or intercom, then program and test the full cycle.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate is beyond straightening, or you want a wider, taller, or more secure entry than the original 1960s gate provides.
What it costs in Pantego
A new driveway gate installation in Pantego typically runs $2,100 to $6,500, with iron and custom steel designs at the higher end.
How we do it
We measure the opening, set new posts if needed, fabricate or order the gate to spec, hang it, and install the latch or opener hardware.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway slopes or has limited swing clearance, and a rolling gate would be more reliable than a swinging one.
What it costs in Pantego
Sliding gate installation in Pantego ranges from $3,100 to $8,400 depending on gate length, track type, and whether you choose manual or automated operation.
How we do it
We set the track or cantilever system, hang the gate, align the rollers and guide wheels, and install the opener and safety edges for automated models.

In Pantego, the main price driver is soil movement. Posts that have heaved out of plumb take more labor to re-set than a simple hinge swap on a stable frame. Whatever the job ends up costing, we give you a written quote before any work begins, and that number does not change unless you approve a change.

What Pantego Customers Say
"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and the office didn't call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
— Rachel Doyle"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
— Lucia Martinez"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."
— Mark Meyer
