AfterGate Company in Highland Village, TX
Highland Village gate calls almost always come down to two things working against each other: Lake Lewisville’s humidity and North Texas clay soil. The lake air accelerates rust on ornamental iron, while the expansive clay heaves gate posts out of plumb every season. That combination means most Highland Village jobs involve both the mechanical gate structure and the electric operator, not one or the other. We quote every job in writing before work starts, and we answer the phone around the clock at (940) 412-7340.
Why Highland Village Homes Are Different
Highland Village sits directly on the south shore of Lake Lewisville, and that lakefront position shapes the work we do here more than anything else. The elevated ambient humidity off the water gets into weld joints and bolt holes on ornamental wrought iron driveway gates, which are nearly standard equipment on the custom and semi-custom homes built from the late 1980s through the 2000s. We regularly see bottom rails rusting at the weld points and hinge plates corroding faster than they would six miles inland.
Then there’s the soil. North Texas clay expands when wet and contracts in drought, and in lakefront subdivisions like Highland Shores, that movement heaves gate posts out of plumb seasonally. By the time a homeowner notices the gate won’t latch, the post footings have usually shifted and the rust has already started at the rail joints. A single Highland Village service call often bundles a post-alignment reset, hardware lubrication, and a rust treatment rather than any one fix in isolation. The result is that most calls here involve both structural correction and operator electronics, which is why we stock parts for both on the truck before we roll out.
Our Main Highland Village Services
Highland Village homeowners call us most often for two things: a gate that has stopped opening, and a gate that needs replacing outright. Each service has its own page with local pricing and specifics.
Gate Repair in Highland Village
The standard Highland Village repair call is an ornamental iron driveway gate that has begun sagging, scraping, or failing to latch. Usually the post has shifted in the clay, or the hinge side has started to rust from lake moisture, or both. We reset the post, treat the rust, replace worn hardware, and get the gate swinging true again. Full details, including pricing for hinge swaps and post resets, are on the Gate Repair in Highland Village page.
Gate Installation in Highland Village
New gate work in Highland Village almost always means a custom-sized ornamental iron or steel gate matched to an existing opening in an upscale subdivision. Because of the clay soil, we pay close attention to post depth and footing preparation so the new installation doesn’t shift within its first year. The Gate Installation in Highland Village page covers materials, lead times, and written pricing for the full job.
Electric Gate Repair in Highland Village
North Texas temperature extremes, triple-digit summers and hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri, push 12V and 24V gate operators to their limits. In Highland Village, that’s compounded by lake humidity working on the control board and wiring connections. We diagnose the operator, the power supply, and the safety edges, then tell you the price before we turn a screw. The Electric Gate Repair in Highland Village page breaks down operator swaps, board replacements, and safety-edge work.

What Highland Village 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."
