AfterGate Company in Kendall, FL
Portcullis Gate Repair is Kendall’s local gate company, and we handle the full run of gate work here: repairs, full installations, and electric-operator service. Kendall is different from most Florida markets because nearly every job touches a Miami-Dade High Velocity Hurricane Zone code requirement and an HOA approval process. That means the technician at your gate has to know the county’s Notice of Acceptance standards, not just how to swap a hinge. If your gate is sagging, stuck, or dead at the opener, call (940) 412-7340 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Kendall Homes Are Different
Kendall sits entirely inside Miami-Dade County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load code in Florida. Any gate operator, hinge, post, or latch installed here has to carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, which is a product-approval document proving the hardware survived specific wind and impact testing. That rule doesn’t exist across the county line in Broward, and it changes what we can and can’t install on your property.
The housing stock plays a role too. Most of Kendall’s gated communities went up between the mid-1980s and early 2000s, and a large wave of them were built or rebuilt in the years right after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Those original ornamental iron and aluminum swing and slide gates are now 20 to 40 years old. Wrought iron frames rust at the weld points, aluminum bottom rails oxidize in the humidity, and the original operators in communities like The Hammocks and Kendale Lakes are hitting the 25 to 30 year replacement wall at roughly the same time. When you call us, we’re usually not the first company to look at the gate, but we are the one that puts the price down in writing.
Our Main Kendall Services
These are the three jobs Kendall homeowners and HOAs call us for most often. Each has its own page with pricing, timelines, and local detail, so click through for the full picture.
Gate Repair in Kendall
A sagging iron gate on a Kendall driveway is usually a hinge or weld problem made worse by decades of humidity and wet-season rain pooling at the post base. We inspect the hinges, post footings, welds, and bottom rail, then give you the repair price in writing before we pick up a tool. Older iron gates in Kendall often have hidden corrosion behind the hinge plates that looks cosmetic until the gate drops. Gate Repair in Kendall covers the common repairs, the pricing, and how fast we can get to you.
Gate Installation in Kendall
New gate work in Kendall means working through the HOA’s rules and the county’s NOA requirements before the first concrete pour. Whether you’re replacing a rusted driveway gate or putting in a new sliding gate at a side entrance, the design, post depth, and hardware all have to meet Miami-Dade wind-load standards. We measure, order the right NOA-approved materials, and quote the full job upfront. Gate Installation in Kendall walks through what a full install includes and what it costs.
Electric Gate Repair in Kendall
Kendall’s early gated communities were built with LiftMaster and Linear operators, and in many of those neighborhoods those original units are failing around the same two-year window as the 25 to 30 year mark arrives. We also service Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite systems. An electric gate repair here often means diagnosing a dead control board, a seized actuator, or a safety sensor knocked out of alignment by a storm. Electric Gate Repair in Kendall has the full breakdown of what goes wrong and what it costs to fix.

| Gate opener repair | $180 - $550 |
| Hinge replacement | $90 - $275 per hinge |

What pushes a Kendall price toward the top of these ranges is usually the county approval factor: an NOA-rated actuator or hinge costs more than a generic part, and many HOA communities here require board sign-off before certain hardware changes. That said, you’ll always see the full price in writing before we start, and that price is what you pay. No discovery fee at the door, no surprise line items after the gate is taken apart.

What Kendall Customers Say
"The opener gave out and we were manually pushing the gate for a week. Portcullis got us in quick, swapped the opener, and set up the remotes for both our cars. Great to have it working again."
- Priscilla Nava"Our driveway gate stopped halfway and wouldn't close, which is a problem when it's the only thing between the street and the yard. They came out same day, replaced the motor, and it's smooth again."
- Leonard Pace"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
