AfterGate Company in Sunnyvale, CA
We’re Portcullis Gate Repair, and we handle every type of gate job Sunnyvale throws at us: wooden pedestrian gates that have swollen shut, heavy steel driveway gates off their track, and electric operators that stopped responding to the clicker. Sunnyvale’s mix of 1950s ranch homes, HOA townhome complexes, and massive tech campuses means our technicians see a wider range of gate failures in a single week than most companies see in a month. Call (940) 412-7340 any time, day or night, and a live person answers.
Why Sunnyvale Homes Are Different
Sunnyvale sits far enough inland that it gets a sharp six-month wet-dry cycle. From May through October, almost no rain falls. Wood gate planks and posts dry out, shrink, and pull away from their hardware. Then the November-to-April rains arrive, the wood swells, and suddenly latches that worked in September won’t close in February. It’s a rhythm we know well, and it’s why we adjust gate clearances with that cycle in mind rather than treating every sticky latch as a one-time fix.
The housing stock tells a story too. Sunnyvale’s residential core is mostly single-story ranch homes built between the early 1950s and mid-1970s. Those homes have narrow side yards where wood or chain-link pedestrian gates have often been ignored for thirty or forty years. Along El Camino Real and Lawrence Expressway, there’s a second story: 1980s and 1990s HOA townhome and condo complexes with tubular-steel community entrance gates that are all aging out at once. And then there’s the corporate side. Juniper Networks, NetApp, LinkedIn, Lockheed Martin Space, and dozens of mid-tier firms operate automated vehicle gates here that most residential gate companies simply cannot service. We do both.
Our Main Sunnyvale Services
Most Sunnyvale homeowners call us for one of three things: a gate that won’t open, a gate they want installed for the first time, or an electric operator that’s stopped responding. Each has its own Sunnyvale page with pricing and local specifics.
Gate Repair in Sunnyvale
Sunnyvale’s dry summers and wet winters are hard on gate hardware. Hinges pull loose from swollen or rotted posts, latches bind when wood expands, and bottom rails rot where they sit against damp soil. Our repair work starts with a written price before we touch anything, and every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it fails inside that year, we return and fix it at no charge. See Gate Repair in Sunnyvale for typical pricing and what a repair visit covers.
Gate Installation in Sunnyvale
With Sunnyvale’s median home price above $1.8M, buyers who gut-renovate 1950s ranch homes often add an automated driveway gate for the first time. That means new posts in soil that shifts with the seasons, operator wiring run to code, and a gate that clears properly year-round. We measure, quote a firm written price, and schedule the work. See Gate Installation in Sunnyvale for what a full install includes and what drives the cost.
Electric Gate Repair in Sunnyvale
When a gate operator stops working in Sunnyvale, it’s often the loop detector, a blown control board, or a limit switch that drifted out of adjustment. Our technicians arrive already familiar with your operator brand, diagnose the failure, and give you the repair price in writing before work begins. See Electric Gate Repair in Sunnyvale for brand coverage and common failure points.

Sunnyvale pricing runs toward the upper end when a gate sits on a narrow side yard with poor access, when an HOA requires a specific steel finish, or when the operator is integrated with a corporate access-control system rather than a simple home remote. Whatever the job, you receive the price in writing before we start, and that price is the price.

What Sunnyvale Customers Say
"Gate wouldn't respond to the remote or the keypad. Turned out to be the control board. They had the part and swapped it the same visit. Quoted it first, no surprises."
- Everett Shaw"Electric gate kept doing its own thing, opening at random. The tech found a shorted sensor and a worn board, fixed both, and showed me the old parts. Price was what he quoted on the phone."
- Cassandra Pike"Installed a new gate for us after the old wooden one rotted out. Clean work, showed up on time both days, and the written price didn't change. It swings perfectly."
