AfterGate Company in Katy, TX
We handle gate work across Katy, TX, and most of the calls we get fall into two groups: HOA entrance gates that serve entire neighborhoods, and driveway gates at individual homes. Katy’s soil shifts with the seasons, and that movement is the single biggest reason automated gates here bind, sag, or stop latching. If your gate won’t close or the operator just hums, call us at (940) 412-7340 and we’ll give you a straight diagnosis over the phone before we ever send a truck.
Why Katy Homes Are Different
Katy is built on Beaumont clay, a soil that swells when it’s wet and pulls hard when it dries out. That cycle moves gate posts out of plumb by an inch or more over a single season, and a gate that was square in March can be dragging by August. We deal with it constantly in Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, and Cross Creek Ranch, where brick columns and steel gates sit on footings that flex underneath them.
The housing stock here is mostly 1990s through 2010s construction. Those gates are now 15 to 25 years old, which is exactly when actuator motors, hinge welds, and access-control boards start failing on a regular cadence. Katy also has an unusually high number of HOA-managed community gates compared to neighboring cities. When a board votes to fix an entrance gate, they want a written quote, insurance paperwork, and a company that will stand behind the work. We’re set up for that.
Our Main Katy Services
These are the three jobs Katy homeowners and property managers call us for most. Each has its own page with pricing, details, and turnaround windows specific to Katy.
Gate Repair in Katy
We repair swing gates and slide gates, from a broken hinge weld to a full actuator replacement. In Katy, repair work often starts with a post that’s shifted with the soil, so we check the plumb and the gap before we touch the motor. You’ll get a written price before we start, and the repair carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Full details on Gate Repair in Katy.
Gate Installation in Katy
New gate installation in Katy means sizing the posts and the operator for clay soil movement, not just for the width of the opening. We install driveway and community gates with operators matched to the gate’s weight and cycle count, and we quote the full job in writing so there’s no surprise at the end. See what a full install includes on our Gate Installation in Katy page.
Electric Gate Repair in Katy
When the motor runs but the gate won’t move, or the keypad stopped reading cards, it’s usually the operator or the access-control board. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls systems throughout Katy, and our techs show up already knowing the brand you have. Read more on Electric Gate Repair in Katy.

What pushes the price up in Katy is usually post movement. If the clay has shifted a column and the gate has to come off, be re-set, and be re-hung before the operator goes in, that’s a bigger job than a straight motor swap. Whatever the number ends up being, you get it in writing before we turn a single bolt.

What Katy Customers Say
"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."
- Donna Kirkpatrick"Gate was dragging and screeching across the driveway. I figured I'd need a whole new setup. He adjusted the track and rollers and it was a fraction of what I expected. Honest work."
- Omar Haddad"Our intercom and gate motor both quit. They fixed the whole system in one visit and explained the warranty clearly. On time, polite, and tidy. Can't ask for more."
