Why Davie Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service
We’re a dedicated gate repair company, not a generalist contractor squeezing gate calls between other jobs. Ghost Controls operators have their own quirks, their own board layouts, their own limit-switch logic. We know them because we service them regularly alongside LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. That cross-brand reps means we diagnose a Ghost Controls fault by its actual symptom, not by swapping parts until something sticks.
And we’re local to this market. Roland Vega, who runs Hacienda Gate Repair, grew up over in the West Lake neighborhood of Hollywood and trained through the Construction and Electrical programs at McFatter Technical College right here in Davie. That foundation in motors, controls, and hardware shows up on every service call. We’ve spent years watching Davie’s acreage gates take a beating from sun, salt air, and afternoon storms, and we also handle Ghost Controls service in Cooper City. So when a Ghost Controls board greens up or an arm strain starts after the rains, we already know what we’re looking at.
We also stock parts for faster turnaround: genuine Ghost Controls control boards, arms, and limit switches where the model is current, plus quality aftermarket batteries and solar components when OEM supply is slow. If a weathered arm on an older ranch gate is better replaced than rebuilt, we’ll tell you straight.

Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Davie
- Dead operator after a storm week. Solar and battery-backed Ghost Controls units on open pasture entries lose charge when Davie gets a stretch of heavy cloud and daily rain. Owners walk out to a dead arm mid-cycle and assume the motor burned out. Usually it’s a drained bank or a failed charge path. We test the panel output and battery condition before condemning anything.
- Control board and connector corrosion. Salt-laden humid air does a number on Ghost Controls control boxes mounted low on ranch gates. Moisture collects, terminal blocks turn green, and the board starts throwing faults or stops responding to remotes. We see this constantly on older Davie acreage installs where the box sits close to the ground.
- Limit-switch drift and arm binding. Sandy soil around gate posts settles, the post shifts, and the operator loses its travel reference. The arm pushes past its stop or reverses early. You’d swear the board is failing, but the switch just needs re-setting and the posts need realignment. If the arm has been fighting a sagging post for months, we check the whole geometry, not just the electronics.
- Lightning and surge damage. Davie’s afternoon thunderstorms are hard on gate electronics. A close strike takes out the control board and remote receiver in one shot, and it usually surfaces right after a hurricane-season outage. We replace the board, check the wiring, and recommend surge protection sized for the gate’s power feed.
- Remote or keypad stopped responding. Sometimes it’s the receiver. Sometimes it’s a dead battery in the handset. Sometimes corrosion worked into the keypad contacts. We test the signal chain first so you don’t pay for a board replacement when a $12 battery fixes it.
Ghost Controls Service in Davie: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Much of Davie’s rural acreage sits on sandy soil that shifts around gate posts. A Ghost Controls swing operator that was dialed in perfectly during the dry season will trip its limits or strain its arm once the summer rains settle the ground. Realignment often matters as much as the board. A tech who only swaps parts will chase the problem forever; a tech who understands Davie’s soil knows the first thing to check is whether the post has moved and the arm is binding against its stop.
We saw exactly this on a horse property off Griffin Road. The owner had a Ghost Controls dual-swing kit on a wide ranch entry, and the arm had been fighting a sagging post for months. The control board was fine. The limit switch had drifted, the battery backup never recovered after a storm week, and both leaves were out of alignment. We reset the posts, realigned the arms, replaced the limit switch and battery bank, then cycled the gate through several full open-close runs before we left. That’s the difference between a parts-swap and a repair that holds.
Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Davie
We work on Ghost Controls Heavy-Duty Single Swing models from the TDS/AXD series, Dual Swing kits in the TSS/AXS line, and the tube-gate openers built around the TSS1/TDS1 platforms. Those tube-gate kits show up on livestock pasture entries all through rural Davie, and we service the solar and battery-backup accessory line those properties depend on, plus Ghost Controls service in Pine Island Ridge.
For parts, our approach is simple: we use genuine Ghost Controls boards, arms, and limit switches on current models, and we turn to quality aftermarket batteries and solar components when OEM availability falls behind. If it’s a 20-year-old weathered arm on a ranch gate, we’ll lay out the repair-versus-replace math before we touch it. No pressure, no preference for a sale over a fix.

AfterGhost Controls Service Pricing in Davie
Service call rates in Davie typically run $89 to $149 for dispatch and on-site diagnosis, and we credit that toward the repair if you approve it. Common repair costs we quote in this market include:
- Control board replacement: $180 to $390 depending on the Ghost Controls model
- Limit switch replacement and arm adjustment: $95 to $185
- Battery box replacement (single unit): $120 to $240
- Solar panel and charge-path repair: $150 to $320
- Full operator replacement for older or heavily weathered units: $650 to $1,600, equipment and labor included
- Post realignment on settled ranch entries: $250 to $600 depending on how far the post has moved and what bracing it needs
Local factors drive some of the spread. A gate on sandy soil that needs realigning costs more than a clean board swap. A dual-swing system with two operators costs more than a single arm. We quote the price before any work starts, so you can decide with the number in hand. Call (855) 362-1433 for an exact quote on your specific Ghost Controls setup. Estimates are free.

FAQs – Ghost Controls Gate Repair in Davie
Often it’s not. On Davie’s sandy soil, the first thing we check is whether the post has settled and the arm is binding against its stop or fighting a limit switch that drifted. A board only gets replaced when the voltage tests and signal path actually point to it. We’ll tell you which one it is before we quote anything.
Because storm weeks mean seven straight days of clouds and rain, and the solar panel isn’t producing enough to keep the battery topped up, especially if the battery bank is more than three years old. We test panel output, charge-path condition, and battery capacity, then recommend the smallest fix that keeps the gate running through the next storm. Get an exact assessment by calling (855) 362-1433.
Yes. Tube-gate openers from the TSS1/TDS1 family are common on Davie’s horse properties and pasture entries, and we service the operator, the mounting hardware, the solar or battery feed, and the gate itself. One call covers the gate and the operator.
First we check the receiver, then the remote itself, then the board. A close lightning strike in Davie often takes out the receiver and the board together, but sometimes it’s just a dead remote battery or wiped programming. We test the signal chain in order so you don’t pay for parts you don’t need.
We recommend checking alignment every dry-to-wet season transition, or any time the gate starts laboring, slamming, or reversing early. Sandy soil settles under the posts, and the operator’s limits and arm geometry drift with it. Annual checks prevent bigger failures. Call us at (855) 362-1433 to schedule a look at yours.
