You May Not Need a New Gate
A sagging, dragging, or misaligned gate does not always mean the whole gate needs to be replaced. We start by checking the hinges, latch, frame, post stability, and gate alignment. If a repair makes sense, we’ll explain the practical option before recommending a rebuild.
Sagging Gates
We fix gates that drop, drag, or scrape the ground when opening.
Latch Problems
We repair gates that won’t close, lock, or line up with the latch.
Hinge Repairs
We replace or adjust gate hinges when they are loose, bent, or worn.
Photo Estimates
Send photos first so we can review the gate before scheduling.
