AfterGate Company in Tequesta, FL
Gate repair in Tequesta follows a different clock than it does ten miles inland. The salt air off the Loxahatchee River and the Intracoastal Waterway doesn’t just wear gates out, it accelerates corrosion on hinge pins, operator arms, and control boards at a rate we rarely see inland. Most homes here are 1970s to 1990s canal-front or Intracoastal-adjacent properties with wrought-iron or tubular-aluminum swing gates that have been in service since the original build. Call us at (940) 412-7340 and we’ll put the price in writing before anything gets touched.
Why Tequesta Homes Are Different
Tequesta’s entire two-square-mile footprint sits inside the tidal estuary zone where the Loxahatchee River meets the Intracoastal. That means even homes several blocks from open water get continuous salt-laden air moving over their gate systems. We routinely see hinge pins seized with salt crust, operator arms pitted through their powder coat, and low-voltage control boards with corroded terminals on gates that look fine from the outside. The corrosion cycle here moves faster than it does in inland Palm Beach County communities just a few miles west, which is why we lean on salt-rated hardware and anti-corrosion coatings as standard practice rather than upsell.
The housing stock reinforces the pattern. Most Tequesta gates are ornate swing gates from the 1970s through 1990s, built into private and semi-private enclaves along the canals and the Intracoastal. The original hinges and operators on those gates are well past their expected service life, and when they fail they tend to fail in ways that need a full hinge rebuild or operator swap rather than a quick adjustment. Newer luxury infill on the remaining lots often features oversized automated slide gates sized for boat-trailer clearance down to rear-yard docks, which changes the operator sizing math entirely. Permitting adds another wrinkle: the village sits on the Palm Beach County side, but some properties and communities at the northern edge fall under Martin County jurisdiction. The two counties use different inspector workflows and code-amendment cycles, and we’ve watched that split catch contractors off guard when pulling automatic-gate permits. We check jurisdiction on every Tequesta job before quoting so there’s no surprise at inspection time.
Our Main Tequesta Services
The two calls we get most from Tequesta homeowners are the same two that come from every salt-air community we work: a swing gate that no longer swings, and an operator that hums but won’t move the gate. Each service has its own detailed Tequesta page below.
Gate Repair in Tequesta
Most Tequesta gate repairs come down to three things: seized hinge pins from salt exposure, sagging gate leaves that drag across the driveway, and operator arms that have corroded through their protective coating. A swing-gate hinge rebuild on a canal-front home here often needs more than a pin replacement because the salt has worked its way into the weld points. We quote the full scope up front, including any concrete work if the post has shifted, so the number you see is the number you pay. Gate Repair in Tequesta covers hinge rebuilds, sag correction, wheel replacement, and structural repairs on wrought-iron and aluminum gates.
Gate Installation in Tequesta
New gate installations in Tequesta usually fall into two buckets: replacing a failed 1980s swing gate on an existing canal-front home, or outfitting a newer infill property with an automated slide gate built for boat-trailer access. Salt-rated aluminum and marine-grade hardware make a measurable difference here, and we size operators for the weight of the gate leaf plus the wind load off the Intracoastal, not just the gate’s static weight. Gate Installation in Tequesta walks through material choices, operator sizing, and what a typical install looks like from first measure to final inspection.
Electric Gate Repair in Tequesta
Lightning is the wildcard in Tequesta. The open water corridors running through the village channel summer storms, and we see fried control boards, blown fuses, and dead keypads on gates that were working perfectly the day before. Low-voltage boards also fail quietly from years of humid air and salt residue building up across the terminals. Electric Gate Repair in Tequesta covers board replacement, keypad and intercom repair, loop detector issues, and full operator diagnostics on all the major brands.

We verify jurisdiction before quoting so inspection scheduling goes smoothly.
Yes, and it’s measurable. Hinge pins, operator arms, and control board terminals on Tequesta gates corrode faster than identical hardware on inland Palm Beach County homes just a few miles west. Salt-rated hardware and anti-corrosion coatings aren’t optional here if you want the repair to last.

What Tequesta Customers Say
"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"Electric gate kept doing its own thing, opening at random. The tech found a shorted sensor and a worn board, fixed both, and showed me the old parts. Price was what he quoted on the phone."
- Cassandra Pike"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
