Tempe gates work hard, and the ones that fail usually fail for a local reason: hinges lagged into hollow block, wood baked brittle by summer UV, or an operator worn out by short-cycle alley traffic. We handle gate installation, gate repair, and electric gate systems for homeowners, landlords, and property managers across Tempe, and we work on the brand you already have rather than pushing a new one. Our technicians have up to 12 years of experience. Call (866) 361-9597 for a free estimate.
Why Tempe Homes Are Different
Tempe’s housing splits into two worlds, and each one breaks gates in its own way. Around ASU, dense student rental and apartment complexes from the 1990s and 2000s use lightweight chain-link and composite gates that see heavy foot traffic and high tenant turnover. Those gates get slammed, climbed, and short-cycled until hinges and operators give out. In the older mid-century block-and-stucco neighborhoods, gates were mounted into masonry walls that have since shifted, so a gate that once latched clean now drags or hangs.
The climate does its own damage. Dry heat and intense summer UV warp and swell wood gates and dry out posts until the ground pulls away from the footing. July and August monsoon winds and dust storms snap hinges and bow lightweight panels. And because so many property lines here are block wall, hinges are often lagged straight into hollow CMU or stucco-over-block, where lag bolts slowly pull out. The right fix is wedge anchors or through-bolting, not a longer screw. Repairs in Tempe have to respect both customer types too: landlords who want a fast durable fix, and owner-occupants in vintage homes who want it done right.

Our Main Tempe Services
Two jobs account for most of the calls we get in Tempe: a gate that has stopped working, and a gate that needs replacing. Both are below.
Gate Repair in Tempe
Most Tempe repairs come down to sagging hinges, broken latches, bent frames, or panels pulled loose from masonry. In the older block-and-stucco neighborhoods, that often means re-anchoring a hinge into CMU properly, and in the rental zones near ASU it usually means rebuilding a gate that’s been abused by constant traffic. We diagnose what actually failed before we touch it. For the full breakdown of what we fix, see gate repair in Tempe.
Electric Gate Repair in Tempe
When an operator quits, the cause is rarely just the motor. We work through control boards, safety sensors, loop detectors, and intercom and remote wiring until we find the real fault, and we’re familiar with the systems common on Tempe properties, including FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking. That covers everything from a backyard swing gate to a multi-tenant access entry. Details are on our electric gate repair page.
Gate Installation in Tempe
New gate work in Tempe starts with the wall, not the gate. Plenty of properties here have old block-and-stucco yard walls from the 1950s through the 1970s, and a new gate has to be anchored and hung to suit masonry that has moved and settled over the decades. Around ASU, the rental and student complexes need lightweight, durable gates that survive heavy turnover and constant use. Our Gate Installation work is measured and scheduled rather than rushed, because a gate installed right is a gate that gets repaired less.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You need a new driveway gate when the existing one is bent beyond straightening, the posts are loose in the ground, or the opening was never wide enough for how you actually park.
What it costs in Tempe
Driveway gate installation in Tempe typically runs from about $1,800 to $5,500 depending on material, width, and whether an operator is included, with the written estimate setting the final price.
How we do it
We measure the opening and check the wall and soil, set posts to proper footing depth, hang and align the gate, then confirm it swings or rolls clean before we call the job done.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
A sliding gate makes sense when you’re short on swing clearance, the driveway slopes, or the gate needs to clear a block wall property line without hitting it.
What it costs in Tempe
Sliding gate installation in Tempe typically costs between about $2,500 and $7,500, higher for wide commercial openings and heavy panels, and the written estimate is the final number.
How we do it
We set a level track and footing, mount the gate and rollers, check that the panel travels true without lifting off the track, then wire and test any operator and safety edges.
What Gate Installation Costs in Tempe
| Item | Typical range in Tempe |
|---|---|
| Driveway gate installation | $1,800 – $5,500 |
| Sliding gate installation | $2,500 – $7,500 |
| Automatic gate operator installed | $1,200 – $4,000 |
Do I need a permit to install a gate in Tempe?
Tempe generally requires a permit when you add an electric operator or change the fence line, so check with the city’s building department before work begins. We can walk you through what your project likely needs.
Can you match a new gate to my block wall?
Yes. Hinges into hollow CMU or stucco-over-block get proper wedge anchors or through-bolts, so the new gate hangs solid on a wall that has already settled.
Brands We Service in Tempe
We work on the gate and operator brands you already have, including FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking, plus LiftMaster, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. We diagnose the system in place rather than replacing it wholesale. See our brands for the full roster.

What Tempe Customers Say
"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
- Beatriz Guzman"Photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that the sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
- Elena Salazar"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."
- Paul Kowalski
