We install more gates in West Hollywood than any other job we do, and the houses here tell you why. Most of the 33021 corridor was built between 1955 and 1980, which means original driveway gates are now fifty to seventy years old, mounted on pressure-treated posts that gave up years ago in the sandy soil. The work we do here isn’t just about hanging a new gate. It’s about setting posts in concrete where builders once dropped them straight into sugar sand, squaring frames that the summer rains have thrown out of plumb, and choosing hardware that will survive decades of humid salt air. Call (855) 362-1433 and we’ll come measure, quote, and replace the gate you’ve been fighting with.
Key takeaways:
- West Hollywood’s 1955 – 1980 housing stock means most gate setups are originals that have outlived their posts.
- Hurricane-season wind loads and daily afternoon storms loosen hinges and rack gate frames faster here than inland.
- Hacienda Gate Repair has served West Hollywood since 2012, and gates are the only trade we practice.
- Every price is quoted and agreed before any work starts.
Why West Hollywood Homes Are Different
West Hollywood sits on fast-draining sandy loam that shifts after every heavy downpour. In the older blocks off Hollywood Boulevard near 441, gate posts were often set directly into sugar sand with no concrete footing at all. A repair that feels solid in February will sag within a month of the first summer rains unless the post is pulled, the hole cleaned, and the post re-set in concrete. That’s the single most common reason a gate starts dragging across the driveway or a latch stops lining up in West Hollywood.
Then there’s the air. South Florida humidity and salt breeze pushing in from the coast rust iron gates from the inside out, especially at the weld points and the hinge barrels. Wooden gates fare no better – the wet season swells them, the UV dries them, and within a few years the pickets are cupped and the frame is pulling apart at the corners. The live oaks and mature palms that make these lots beautiful also work against gate stability, with roots lifting concrete footers and pushing posts off vertical. None of this is unusual to us. It’s the baseline for every installation and repair we do in West Hollywood.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main West Hollywood Services
When a West Hollywood homeowner calls us, it’s usually one of two situations: a manual gate that won’t close or swing properly, or an electric gate that stopped responding to the remote, the keypad, or both. Each has its own page with the full detail.
Gate Repair in West Hollywood
A gate that drags, jams, or won’t latch on one of these 1960s ranch lots usually traces back to a rotted or tilted post, a sprung hinge, or a frame that the sandy soil has twisted out of square. We straighten what’s salvageable and replace what isn’t, and we always check the post footings first, because in West Hollywood a gate that looks broken is often just standing on a foundation that has quietly shifted. Read the full breakdown here: Gate Repair in West Hollywood.
Electric Gate Repair in West Hollywood
The humidity here is hard on operator boards and limit switches, and the frequent afternoon storms put real stress on motors that have to shove a gate through wind and standing water. When an automated gate in West Hollywood won’t open, won’t close, or won’t stop where it should, we diagnose the operator and the gate structure together, because fixing one while ignoring the other just schedules a second service call. Full details: Electric Gate Repair in West Hollywood.

Gate Installation in West Hollywood
Gate installation in West Hollywood is rarely a clean blank-slate job. Most of these ranch and cottage lots between Hollywood Boulevard and 441 have existing gates that have been in the ground since the Eisenhower or Carter administration, mounted on posts that were never set in concrete. A proper installation here means demolition of the old setup, new footings poured below grade, posts set and leveled in concrete, and a new gate built or ordered to match the house and the setback. Hacienda Gate Repair has served West Hollywood since 2012, and every installation we’ve done on these older lots shares one requirement: the post footing has to be right the first time, because the sand will expose any shortcut within a season. See Gate Installation for the full scope.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The old gate is sagging far enough to scrape the concrete, the posts lean visibly toward the street, or the gate is so rusted at the hinges that you can see daylight through the weld points.
What it costs in West Hollywood
A single driveway gate replacement in West Hollywood typically runs $950 – $2,100 depending on the width, material, and whether the old posts can be reused.
How we do it
We pull the old gate, remove or cut the old posts, auger fresh footings, set pressure-treated or steel posts in concrete, and hang the new gate with adjustable hinges so it stays square through the wet season.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re tired of getting out of the car to open the driveway gate, or you want controlled entry for a rental property and the old manual gate has no operator at all.
What it costs in West Hollywood
Adding an operator, keypad, and safety edges to a new or existing gate in West Hollywood typically runs $2,500 – $5,500, with the final number set by gate weight, cycle use, and the operator brand.
How we do it
We measure the gate’s weight and travel, select an operator rated for the duty cycle – no undersized motors on a heavy iron gate – mount it on a reinforced post, and wire the keypad, remotes, and safety edges before testing under load.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway slopes or is tight on swing clearance, or you’re replacing an old sliding gate whose track has rusted through and the rollers are eating themselves.
What it costs in West Hollywood
A sliding gate install in West Hollywood typically runs $1,500 – $3,500 for a new cantilever or tracked gate, including the post footings and the roller hardware.
How we do it
We excavate and pour concrete footers for the carrier posts and the track or cantilever rollers, set the gate so it travels level and true, and confirm the stops hold it from overtravel in both directions.
What Gate Installation Costs in West Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in West Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Driveway gate replacement (manual) | $950 – $2,100 |
| Sliding gate installation | $1,500 – $3,500 |
| Automatic / electric gate installation (operator, keypad, edges) | $2,500 – $5,500 |
How long does a gate installation take in West Hollywood?
Most manual gate replacements are done in one day once materials are on site. Electric installs typically run one to two days, and any concrete work needs a day to cure before the gate goes under full load. Call (855) 362-1433 for a schedule based on your specific yard.
Do I need an HOA approval for a new gate in West Hollywood?
Some West Hollywood neighborhoods have active homeowner associations, and if yours has an architectural committee, send them the gate design and material spec before we start. If the gate faces a public right-of-way, we’ll verify any setback requirement at measure so the install doesn’t stall at inspection.
Brands We Service in West Hollywood
We work on your brand, not the one we’d rather sell you. Most of the operators we see in West Hollywood driveways are LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, or Mighty Mule, and our trucks carry boards, remotes, and edge sensors for all nine. The FAAC and BFT arms on the older iron gates, and the Linear and Viking units on the gated duplexes off 441, are ones we diagnose every week. That brand-agnostic bench means we find the right fix instead of pushing a replacement. See our brands for the full list and what we stock.

The biggest price multipliers in West Hollywood are the post footings and the condition of the existing structure. A gate that’s simply worn out goes faster than a gate whose posts are rotted at grade and need excavating in sugar sand, which means more concrete and more curing time. Whatever the scope, the price is quoted and agreed in writing before any work begins, so the invoice never surprises you.

FAQs About Gate Company in West Hollywood
Yes. For manual gate failures and operator outages in 33021, we typically dispatch the same day you call, and we carry the common boards and parts for FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking units on the truck. Call before early afternoon and we’ll get you on that day’s route.
In most cases no, especially when we’re replacing a gate on its existing footing. The exception is new electric work tied to a dedicated circuit, which may need a licensed electrician’s sign-off. We’ll tell you during the estimate if your project crosses that line.
For duplex and small multi-unit properties in West Hollywood, the HOA or shared-owner agreement usually dictates who authorizes the repair. We’ll work with whoever has sign-off authority and can bill the managing party directly, with the scope and price approved before we begin.
If your gate is dragging, jammed, or dead at the keypad, call (855) 362-1433. We’ll give you a straight answer, a written price, and a West Hollywood-specific fix that accounts for the sand, the salt air, and the storms.

What West Hollywood 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
