AfterGate Company in Richardson, TX
Gate work in Richardson splits down the middle: older cedar-swing gates in the southside neighborhoods built from the late 1960s through the mid-1980s, and automated iron gates on the newer HOA properties north of Campbell Road. The common thread is the soil. Richardson sits on Blackland Prairie clay, the black gumbo that swells in spring and shrinks in summer, and it moves gate posts more than any other single factor. If your gate drags, binds, or won’t latch, call (940) 412-7340 and we’ll give you a written price before a single bolt comes out.
Why Richardson Homes Are Different
In the older blocks south of Campbell Road, cedar gate posts from the 1970s were often set in shallow concrete footings that the expansive clay has since cracked and lifted. The post ends up floating inside a broken concrete collar, so a hinge swap won’t hold. The job becomes a full post re-set and re-pour. North of Campbell, the newer HOA communities lean toward ornamental iron gates with automated openers, which means limit switches, control boards, and actuator motors rather than rotted cedar and sagging hinges.
Richardson also sits along the US-75 Telecom Corridor, where office parks, data-center campuses, and tech headquarters run automated security gates and driveway gates daily. That means we see residential and commercial work in roughly equal measure, which is not the shape of the market in most neighboring suburbs. Ice storms in January and February add another layer: sudden impact loading on already-misaligned hardware, which spikes emergency calls every winter.
Our Main Richardson Services
Most Richardson homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a gate that won’t open or close properly, or a gate that needs to be replaced entirely. Both jobs run through the same upfront-price process, and each has its own Richardson page below.
Gate Repair in Richardson
A sagging cedar gate on a south Richardson property is almost always a post problem before it’s a hinge problem. The clay has moved the post, the hinge screws are working loose in soft wood, and the gate leans until it drags. We re-set posts in concrete, re-hang the gate, and replace hardware where it’s worn. Learn more about what the job involves on our Gate Repair in Richardson page.
Gate Installation in Richardson
New gate work in Richardson means matching the material and style to the street. Older neighborhoods lean toward cedar or stained wood to match existing fences; newer HOA properties usually call for ornamental iron or tubular steel. We measure, fabricate to fit, and install with footings sized for the clay. See the full process on our Gate Installation in Richardson page.
Electric Gate Repair in Richardson
Electric gates in Richardson fail in predictable ways: photo-eye sensors knocked out of alignment, limit switches that drift, control boards that die after storms or power surges. We service nine major operator brands, so the tech who arrives already knows your system. Read more on our Electric Gate Repair in Richardson page.

What Richardson Customers Say
"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."
- Yvette Marchetti"Good repair on a sagging gate and a new hinge welded on. Took them a couple days to get the part in, but they told me that up front and it's been solid since."
