AfterGate Company in San Antonio, FL
Gate repair in San Antonio usually runs $180 to $1,400 depending on whether it’s a hinge, a control board, or a full operator swap, and most residential calls are completed same-day or next-day. We’re Portcullis Gate Repair, an independently owned Kingswell company, and we work on gates across San Antonio every week. If you have a gate that won’t open, sags on its hinges, or makes a sound like gravel in a blender, call us at (940) 412-7340 and a real person answers, day or night.
Why San Antonio Homes Are Different
San Antonio’s gate work is shaped by three things: the housing stock, the geology, and the heat. The north side along the US-281 and Loop 1604 corridor, including Stone Oak, Shavano Park, and Helotes, is dense with 1990s and 2010s master-planned communities where ornamental iron automated driveway gates came standard. Those systems are now fifteen to twenty-five years old, which means the motors, control boards, and zinc hardware are failing on a schedule. When the February 2021 freeze hit, we saw a wave of cracked seals, fried boards, and seized motors across the city, and we still see the aftereffects on systems that were patched rather than properly repaired.
Older neighborhoods like Alamo Heights, Monte Vista, and the King William Historic District have a different set of challenges: wrought-iron gates on early 20th-century properties, where hinges were often built into masonry or stone columns. Matching period ironwork and working around preservation rules means those jobs take longer and require more custom fabrication than a standard subdivision gate. Then there’s the caliche. Six to eighteen inches below most San Antonio yards sits a dense calcium carbonate crust that turns a simple post reset into a jackhammer job. We price for that reality from the start.
Our Main San Antonio Services
San Antonio homeowners call us most often for repair work on existing gates and for full installation on new builds or remodels. Each service has its own detailed San Antonio page below.
Gate Repair in San Antonio
Gate repair here covers sagging or dragging gates, bent or broken hinges, failed latch hardware, and post resets. In San Antonio, the single biggest cost variable is what’s under the post. When a gate post leans or shifts, the fix often means digging through caliche, and that’s where a two-hour job can become a five-hour job. Our techs know to look for it before quoting, which is why our written price reflects what the ground actually holds. We also carry Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite parts on the trucks for same-day fixes. Gate Repair in San Antonio
Gate Installation in San Antonio
A new gate in San Antonio usually means either replacing an aging ornamental iron gate in a Stone Oak or Shavano Park subdivision, or adding a driveway gate to a property that never had one. The caliche soil affects installs too: setting new posts often requires a carbide-tipped auger to get through the crust cleanly, and we plan concrete footing depth around that. In historic districts, we coordinate with preservation requirements and match existing ironwork patterns. Every install starts with a free measure and a written price, never a guess.

Electric Gate Repair in San Antonio
Electric gate repair in San Antonio means diagnosing and replacing actuators, control boards, photo eyes, loop detectors, and the wiring that connects them. Hard, alkaline water and caliche-rich soil accelerate corrosion on underground conduit and zinc hardware, and the summer heat is brutal on circuit boards mounted inside metal enclosures. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Elite operators, and our techs arrive with the diagnostic tools and common boards already on the truck. If your gate opens halfway and reverses, or the keypad does nothing, that’s a control-system issue we can usually pin down in one visit. Electric Gate Repair in San Antonio

What San Antonio 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."
