AfterGate Company in Lynnwood, WA
Our crews fix, install, and automate driveway and pedestrian gates across the city – from the 1960s ranch homes east of I-5 to the new townhome clusters rising around the Lynnwood City Center Link station. If your gate won’t latch, sags on its hinges, or the motor just hums without moving, call (940) 412-7340 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Lynnwood Homes Are Different
Lynnwood’s gate problems don’t look like the rest of Snohomish County. Most of the single-family housing stock between 196th Street SW and the Mukilteo Speedway was built from 1960 to 1985, which means those cedar privacy gates and their original post-and-hinge hardware are now 40 to 60 years old. Cedar rots in Lynnwood’s drizzle, and the glacial clay underneath doesn’t drain. When the ground saturates from October through April, gate posts tamped into that clay heave and tilt. We see the same call every March: “gate won’t close.” Nine times out of ten it’s the post that moved, not the latch that failed.
The newer side of Lynnwood is a different job entirely. Townhome communities along SR-99 and the densifying blocks near the 2024 light rail station bring automated slide gates, keypad entry, and vehicle-detection loops. Two repair markets, same city. The older subdivisions need structural post work and hinge replacement; the newer developments need operator diagnostics and access-control service. A technician who only knows one of those two worlds will misdiagnose the other. We handle both, and we send the right person for the street you live on.
Our Main Lynnwood Services
Most Lynnwood homeowners call us for one of three things: a gate that won’t close, a gate that needs replacing, or an electric opener that stopped responding. Each has its own dedicated page below.
Gate Repair in Lynnwood
A sagging wooden gate in Lynnwood usually means the post has heaved in wet clay or the cedar frame has absorbed enough rain to pull itself apart. We reset posts in concrete, replace rotted rails and pickets, and swap seized hinges before they tear out of the wood. Every Gate Repair in Lynnwood job gets a written price first and a written 365-day guarantee when we’re done. If the same failure comes back inside a year, so do we, at no charge.
Gate Installation in Lynnwood
New gates in Lynnwood need to be built for the soil they’re going into. We size posts for clay that heaves, use pressure-treated or steel frames where moisture sits, and set footings deep enough to hold through a wet winter. Whether you’re replacing a rotted driveway gate on a 1970s split-level or specifying a pedestrian gate for a new multifamily build near 196th, our Gate Installation in Lynnwood page covers the process and what to expect.
Electric Gate Repair in Lynnwood
Lynnwood’s damp winters are rough on gate electronics. Moisture creeps into control boards, limit switches corrode, and battery backups drain faster than they would in drier climates. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule systems. If your opener trips the breaker, reverses mid-cycle, or just hums, read Electric Gate Repair in Lynnwood for details on the troubleshooting our technicians perform.

Prices in Lynnwood skew higher on the east side where posts sit in saturated clay and need deeper footings or more concrete than a standard reset. They skew lower when the gate itself is still sound and we’re only replacing hardware. Whatever the job, you get the number in writing before we turn a bolt, and it doesn’t change at the door.

What Lynnwood 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."
