Get your free estimateFast, Reliable Gate Repair Across Hollywood
When your driveway gate stops opening at 7 a.m. on a workday, you need a technician who knows Hollywood’s specific gate failures without a long explanation. Hacienda Gate Repair is a dedicated gate specialist serving homes and properties from Hollywood Lakes to the barrier island, with electric and manual gate repair completed on the same visit in most cases. Call (855) 362-1433 for a free estimate, and we’ll quote the price before any work begins. No generalist handyman guessing at your operator. Just gate repair.
Our Gate Repair team works exclusively on gates, which means the technician at your Hollywood driveway has spent their day diagnosing LiftMaster boards, re-welding hinges, and re-setting posts in sandy soil, not running HVAC calls between gate jobs. That focus matters when the salt air off the Intracoastal has eaten through hardware that a generalist would misdiagnose as a dead operator.
Why Hollywood Homeowners Call Hacienda Gate Repair First
Hollywood’s coastal neighborhoods put specific stress on gates. The salt-laden breeze from the Intracoastal corrodes painted steel hinges and operator boards years before the same parts fail a few miles inland in Davie or Cooper City. We account for that on every call. When you tell us the gate is on the canal side of Hollywood Lakes, our technician already knows to check for rust-welded hinges and corroded board terminals before assuming the motor failed.
Roland Vega leads a team that carries stainless fasteners, hot-dip galvanized hinges, and sealed electrical terminations as standard practice for Hollywood work. That’s not an upsell. It’s what a coastal gate repair actually requires to last. Homeowners and property managers across Hollywood trust us to diagnose the real cause of the problem, not just replace the most obvious part and drive away. We service the gate structure and the automation together, which means one call covers a sagging panel and a failing operator.
Whether your gate won’t open, won’t close, or won’t stop in the right position, we quote the repair before touching a tool. Estimates are free, and our Gate Repair in Hollywood coverage spans every neighborhood from 33019 to 33024.
Styles & brands we work with





Gate Welding in Hollywood
Gate welding in Hollywood is a regular part of our repair work, especially on older ornamental steel and aluminum gates along the Hollywood Lakes and Intracoastal corridors, where salt air accelerates hinge and frame corrosion. Welding here typically runs $180 to $420 depending on whether we’re repairing a cracked hinge mount, re-welding a rusted gate frame, or reinforcing a bent swing gate corner.
Rust Repair and Hinge Re-Welding
On coastal Hollywood properties, hinges rust-weld to the post and the gate frame, and when the gate is finally forced open, the hinge barrel or the frame itself tears. We grind out the failed weld, re-align the gate in its opening, and weld in a replacement hinge or reinforcing plate. Hollywood humidity means we also prime and seal the weld the same visit, because bare steel left unpainted near the Intracoastal will start flaking within weeks.
Fixing Cracked and Bent Gate Frames
Storm winds and the occasional vehicle bump bend aluminum and steel gate frames in Hollywood’s villa communities and mid-century neighborhoods. We straighten what’s salvageable and weld reinforcement where the frame cracked. For aluminum gates on 1990s HOA homes, we use the right wire and technique so the weld doesn’t blow through the thinner material.
Commercial Gate Repair in Hollywood
Commercial gate repair in Hollywood covers slide gates at condo buildings along Hollywood Beach, swing gates at apartment complexes near US-441, and access-controlled entry gates at light commercial properties throughout the city. Typical commercial repairs run $350 to $950 for operator replacement, track straightening, or hinge and roller work, with larger structural repairs quoted per job.
Slide Gate Operators and Track Repair
Flooding during tropical storms waterlogs slide gate operators and bends track sections, especially in low-lying commercial lots around the C-10 Canal and State Road 7. We diagnose whether the operator board, motor, or track is the actual failure, then replace or straighten only what’s needed. Roland Vega’s team works on commercial-grade operators from LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Viking, so the repair matches the system already on the property.
HOA and Villa Community Gates
Hollywood’s older HOA subdivisions and villa communities run automated swing and slide gates with operator systems that see dozens of cycles a day. When a gate fails at a 24-hour access point, boards or managers need it back online without a full replacement push. We service the operator and the gate mechanics together, which keeps the repair moving instead of bouncing between a fencing company and an electrician.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We work on your brand. That’s the difference between a gate specialist and a contractor who sells one product line. Our Hollywood repair calls cover nine operator brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Hollywood Mighty Mule service. On this page we’re highlighting LiftMaster, FAAC, and Elite because those three show up most often on Hollywood driveways and commercial properties. We carry common boards, remotes, and safety photo-eyes for these systems in our trucks, so most Hollywood repairs are completed same-visit rather than waiting on a parts order.

AfterCommon Gate Repair Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on hinge hardware. Homes within a mile of the Intracoastal see painted steel hinges and brackets rust years faster than inland properties. We swap in stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware so the repair doesn’t repeat in 18 months.
- Shifting hinge posts in Hollywood Lakes sandy soil. Original coral-rock and masonry pillars settle and tilt over time, throwing swing gate panels out of plumb. The panel looks fine, but the gate drags or won’t close because the post moved, not the gate.
- Waterlogged slide gate operators after storms. Floodwater gets into low-mounted operators on villa and HOA gates, shorting boards and rusting limit switches. Post-storm inspections catch this before the gate fails completely.
- Rust-welded hinges and seized gate wheels. Coastal humidity seizes rollers and hinge barrels, especially on older wood and chain-link gates from Hollywood’s mid-century housing stock. The gate still stands, but it won’t swing without a fight.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Hollywood
The Intracoastal’s salt-laden air deposits chloride on metal surfaces, and Hollywood’s high humidity keeps that salt damp and chemically active year-round. Painted steel hinges and operator boards near the water fail in a few years, while the same parts inland in Davie last a decade or more. The fix is upgrading to stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware and sealing electrical connections. Call (855) 362-1433 for a corrosion assessment on your Hollywood gate.
The hinge post has most likely shifted in the sandy soil, or the hinges have rust-welded and the gate is dragging on the post side. In Hollywood Lakes specifically, original masonry and coral-rock pillars settle over time, and the gate panel stays intact while the mounting moves out of alignment. We re-set the post footing, re-plumb the hinges, and adjust the operator limits. Call for an inspection and we’ll confirm the cause before quoting.
Yes. We rebuild or replace water-swollen wooden gates across Hollywood, including the older mid-century homes where original wood gates are common. Saltwater and flood exposure warp boards and swell frames so the gate no longer fits its opening. We re-mount the gate, replace rotted sections, and re-align the hinges so it swings freely. Estimates are free.
Yes. Automatic gate operators in Hollywood must have functioning safety photo-eyes and obstruction sensors to reverse the gate when something blocks its path. This is a code requirement we verify on every automated gate repair, not an optional add-on. We stock photo-eyes for LiftMaster, FAAC, Elite, and the other brands we service.
Yes. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, so the operator already on your Hollywood property is one we diagnose and repair regularly. Electric gate repair is a core part of what we do, not an afterthought added to fence work. Call (855) 362-1433 and we’ll match the repair to your existing system.
