AfterHow Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Hollywood?
Gate parts and welding in Hollywood, FL typically run $95 to $180 for a minor part replacement and $250 to $650 for on-site welding repair of hinges, posts, or structural joints. A full welding and rebuild job on a heavy commercial gate can reach $900 to $2,400. Emergency after-hours calls add $75 to $150 to the base rate.
Those numbers reflect the tri-county market as of 2026. The final figure depends on the metal (steel and aluminum weld differently), how far gone the gate is, and whether the failure is in the gate structure, the operator, or both. We’re a dedicated gate repair company, so we bid the gate and the automation together instead of handing you off between a welder and an electrician.
Key Takeaways
- Minor gate part swaps (hinges, latches, rollers, stops) usually land between $95 and $180.
- Mobile welding repair starts around $250 and scales with severity and metal thickness.
- Aluminum welding runs higher than steel because it demands a different process and more setup time.
- Salt air in coastal Hollywood accelerates rust on steel gates and weld seams, which raises repair frequency.
- We service nine operator brands, so we can diagnose the gate and the operator on one visit.
If you’re weighing whether to patch the gate or start fresh, our home page lays out the full range of what we handle.
Gate Parts & Welding Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s how the numbers break down line by line for Hollywood properties. Ranges are broad because the same repair on a 4-foot decorative garden gate and a 12-foot slide gate are different jobs.
| Service / Part | Typical Cost Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hinge replacement (per hinge) | $120 – $220 | Includes welding new hinge to post or frame |
| Latch / handle / stop swap | $95 – $175 | Hardware cost plus install |
| Roller or track roller replacement | $110 – $200 | Slide gates; per roller |
| Post repair welding | $250 – $500 | Rust cut-out and re-weld |
| Frame / joint re-weld | $300 – $650 | Structural joint failure on steel gates |
| Aluminum gate welding | $350 – $750 | Higher than steel; TIG process |
| Full structural rebuild | $900 – $2,400 | Heavy commercial gates; multiple welds |
| Emergency / after-hours call | + $75 – $150 | Added to base labor |
| Parts sourcing (operator) | Varies by brand | LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, Mighty Mule |
What pushes cost up? Heavier gauge steel, a gate that’s been rusting through Miami-Dade and Broward summer humidity for years, and corrosion at the weld seam that hides until we cut into it. A simple hinge job is quick. A post that’s rusted at the base has to be cut out, prepped, and re-welded, and that’s a different category of work. Gate operator parts swing the other direction depending on brand: a Mighty Mule residential arm and a DoorKing high-cycle commercial operator part live in entirely different price brackets. We work on your brand, so we quote the actual part instead of guessing at a number.
What Affects Gate Parts & Welding Pricing in Hollywood
Hollywood isn’t Fort Lauderdale and it isn’t inland. The city stretches from the beach to the Intracoastal and west toward I-95, and the local conditions change what a gate needs over its life.
- Salt air along the coast. Homes east of Federal Highway toward Hollywood Beach see faster corrosion on steel gates and weld seams than inland properties. We regularly see hinge failures on beachside properties sooner than the same hardware lasts in Davie or Cooper City.
- Storm-season metal fatigue. Hollywood sits in the heart of hurricane country. Gates that survive a season of wind load often develop hairline cracks at frame joints that only show up during a weld inspection.
- Metal type. Aluminum, steel, wrought iron, and stainless cost different amounts to weld. Aluminum and stainless need a more careful process with more setup, so expect the range to climb.
- Gate weight and size. A 12-foot slide gate carries more steel and demands more labor than a pedestrian swing gate. Commercial properties and HOA entrances sit at the top of the scale.
- Whether the operator is involved. Sometimes the gate won’t open because of a bent hinge, not a motor problem. Other times the structure is fine and the LiftMaster or FAAC operator is failing. We diagnose both in one visit; that’s the point of a specialist who services the gate and the automation together.
- Condition of existing welds. A gate that’s had three patch-repairs from three different companies costs more to bring back to spec than one that’s had none. We can tell from the weld pattern what’s been done before.
Electric gate repair isn’t an afterthought for us. When the operator is the issue and not the gate, the pricing lives in a different set of parts. For a comparison of how this works in a neighboring market, see our breakdown of Gate Parts & Welding in Cooper City.
How to Save on Gate Parts & Welding
The best savings come from catching problems before they cascade. A small weld repair today is a fraction of a full rebuild six months later.
- Catch rust early. Coastal Hollywood properties should have hinge points and weld seams inspected before rust eats into the metal. A spot repair on a surface-rust hinge is $120 to $220. Once the post corrodes through, it’s $250 to $500.
- Fix the gate before the operator suffers. A sagging gate strains the operator motor. A bent hinge that runs for months can wear the gears in your LiftMaster or Viking arm, and now you’re paying for gate work and operator parts. Whether your gate won’t open, won’t close, or won’t stop, get it looked at before the problem spreads.
- Ask us to quote parts and labor separately. We show you the line items so you can see exactly where the money goes and decide whether the fix is worth it.
- Bundle the operator and gate repair in one visit. One call covers the gate and the operator. You don’t pay two trip charges or coordinate between two trades.
- Get an estimate before we start. Estimates are free. Call (855) 362-1433 and we’ll give you a range over the phone, then confirm it on-site.
We’re brand-agnostic. Because we service nine competing operator brands, we identify the right fix rather than pushing a product sale. That alone saves customers on parts they didn’t need.
FAQs – Gate Parts & Welding Cost
How much does a gate hinge replacement cost in Hollywood?
A gate hinge replacement in Hollywood runs $120 to $220 per hinge, including the weld. Rusted-out hinges on coastal properties sometimes require extra prep work, which can add $50 to $100. Call (855) 362-1433 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
Is it cheaper to repair the gate or replace it?
Repair almost always costs less: a weld repair in the $250 to $650 range versus a new installation that starts well above $1,000. Welding makes sense when the frame is solid and the damage is localized. Replacement makes sense when rust has compromised multiple joints or the gate is beyond its service life. We’ll tell you honestly which side of that line your gate is on.
Can you fix a gate the same day?
Most gate part replacements and non-structural welds can be handled the same day. Structural welding on a heavy commercial gate sometimes requires a second visit if parts need sourcing. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, so operator parts are usually in reach quickly.
How much does aluminum gate welding cost?
Aluminum gate welding in Hollywood typically runs $350 to $750, higher than steel because aluminum requires a different welding process and careful prep. Stainless sits in a similar range. If you’re not sure what your gate is made of, we can tell on-site. Call (855) 362-1433 to book.
Do you charge extra for emergency gate repair in Hollywood?
After-hours and emergency calls add $75 to $150 to the base rate. For a gate that won’t close at a commercial property or HOA entrance, the added charge is usually worth it. Call (855) 362-1433 and we’ll talk through timing and cost before we head out.

What Our Customers Say
"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
— Ernesto Mendoza"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
— Daniela Garcia"Gate works properly now and the price was fair. The one thing is that it took two visits, because the operator model we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They didn't charge for the second trip."
— Ruben Guzman
