Get your free estimateFast, Reliable Gate Repair Across Boerne
Gate repair in Boerne usually comes down to one thing: a post that has moved. On the Edwards Plateau, limestone ledge sits just inches below the surface, so many gate posts are anchored directly into rock instead of poured concrete. When the wet-dry cycle shifts that rock, the post tilts, the gate sags, and everything binds. Our Gate Repair team carries shims and epoxy anchors on every truck because roughly a third of the posts we encounter in Boerne are set into limestone ledge. We answer live 24/7, and we can usually have a technician at your property the same day you call. Reach us at (325) 252-5195.
Why Latch and Post Gate Repair San Antonio Is Boerne’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
Homeowners around Boerne call us for one reason most often: we treat a custom gate like the precision structure it is, not like a handyman side job. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they operate under the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values that govern every visit. That means we ask before moving or touching anything on your property, we explain the written price before the first tool comes out, and we leave shoe covers on and drop cloths down inside your home. Every job includes a cleanup photo before we leave. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers all of it: if the repair or installation isn’t right, we make it right. No argument, no fine print.
When you call, a live person answers. That matters at 11 p.m. when a driveway gate refuses to close and your dogs are inside the yard. Cody Beckman has built the Latch & Post team around factory training on the brands Boerne families actually run: Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing among them. Dispatch for Boerne is coordinated from our San Antonio office, and our crews serve the area regularly, so we do not treat a Boerne call like a far-fetched trip. We know the roads, the neighborhoods, and the soil.
Styles & brands we work with
Wood Gate Repair in Boerne
Wood Gate Repair in Boerne means something specific: a heavy cedar or mesquite gate on a multi-acre lot, swinging through 90-degree heat and 70-percent humidity half the year, slowly pulling its hinge screws loose. The first sentence a Boerne homeowner usually says is, “It closes, but it scrapes.” That scrape is the gate telling you the hinge post has moved or the panel itself has swollen. Most wood gate repairs in Boerne run $240 – $520, depending on whether we are replacing hinge hardware, planing a swollen edge, or rebuilding a stile. You will see the exact number in writing before any work starts.
Hinge, Stile, and Post Reset on Wood Gates
On a wood gate, the hinge post takes all the load. When the post leans even half a degree, the latch misses. We reset posts in epoxy or concrete, replace bent or rusted strap hinges, and sister reinforcement plates into the stile where the wood has split. We choose pet-safe lubricants where there is a choice, and we can schedule around nap time if quiet matters.
Warp and Swell Correction Without Replacing the Gate
Boerne’s humidity swells wood from the inside. We can often save a warped gate by re-hanging it with adjustable hinges and adding a diagonal brace or steel frame stiffener. If the panel is too far gone, we will say so plainly and write you a replacement price next to a repair price. Either way, you decide before we cut anything.
Driveway Gate Repair in Boerne
Driveway Gate Repair in Boerne typically involves a long-span ornamental steel or custom wood gate that weighs more than a standard fence gate. Many of these gates are 12 to 18 feet wide, mounted on stone or steel posts set into the Edwards Plateau’s rocky soil. When the post settles, the gate binds at the latch and the opener overloads. A typical driveway gate repair in Boerne runs $380 – $950 for hinge and post realignment, and $650 – $1,600 when the operator, rack, or safety photocells need replacement as well. We hand you a written quote before anything comes off the truck.
Realigning Long-Span Custom Gates
Long-span gates over uneven Hill Country driveways fail at the latch first, because the two posts settle at different rates. We reset the hinge post, shim the latch post, and re-tune the rack and pinion or chain so the gate travels without dragging. The goal is a gate that moves with two fingers of pressure, not a shoulder shove.
Operator and Safety Sensor Work on Boerne Driveways
When the gate itself is straight but the opener strain-relief clutch keeps tripping, the operator is working against a problem it cannot solve. We service and replace LiftMaster operators, add or align safety photocells, and re-run low-voltage wiring that Hill Country rodents have chewed through. Every operator we install is set so that closing force reverses on contact, which matters when kids and dogs are in the drive.
Trusted Brands We Service in Boerne
Our technicians are factory-trained on Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing, among others. We stock common boards, remote receivers, and limit switches for these brands specifically, which means a Boerne repair often happens on the first visit rather than a second trip after a parts order. If your gate opener carries a brand we do not recognize, we will tell you straight, and we will not experiment on it. For equipment we know, the right fix happens the first time.
Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Boerne Homes
- Limestone-ledged posts going out of plumb. A third of the gate posts we see in Boerne are anchored directly into rock. Wet-dry cycles shift the ledge, the post tilts, and the gate sags. We reset it with epoxy anchors and shims, not just fresh dirt.
- Heavy ornamental steel gates sagging at the hinge. Custom iron gates on multi-acre lots are beautiful and brutally heavy. The hinge post takes that weight every day, and over years it drifts. We straighten the gate and re-hang it so the latch lines up again.
- Slide gate rollers wearing unevenly after summer heat. Hot, humid summers cause steel panels to expand and warp. The rollers take the abuse, the gate starts chattering, and the operator overloads. Replacing rollers and re-tracking the gate fixes most cases under $500.
- Operators killed by Hill Country thunderstorms. Lightning and power surges ride the low-voltage line straight into the control board. After a storm passes through Boerne, we get calls for dead openers that need a new board, a surge protector added, and the safety loop re-checked.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Boerne
Most Boerne gate posts are not set in concrete. They are set directly into limestone ledge, because on the Edwards Plateau the rock is often just inches below the surface. The contractor drilled into the rock, dropped in the post, and packed it. Over wet-dry cycles, that rock shifts microscopically and the post leans. We reset it with epoxy anchors and shims to hold it plumb. Call (325) 252-5195 and we will tell you whether your post is rock-set or concrete-set before we touch it.
Yes. A skilled ornamental repair means straightening the frame, re-hanging the hinges, and touching up the finish without grinding away the decorative scrollwork. We use heat and pressure in small, controlled amounts at the bending points, and we match the primer and paint to the existing finish. Your custom iron pattern stays intact. We will show you the written plan before the torch comes out.
Lightning likely rode the low-voltage wire into the control board and fried it. In Boerne, this is one of our most common storm-aftermath calls. A new board, plus a surge protector added at the control box, typically fixes it. The repair usually runs $180 – $420 for the board, depending on your opener brand. We answer live 24/7, so call when the sky clears and we will get it closing again.
Yes. Many large Boerne properties run solar panels and a battery bank to power the gate opener, because trenching power from the house to the road is too expensive across a long driveway. We service the full chain: panel, charge controller, battery, and opener. A weak battery or a sun-shaded panel is usually the culprit. We can test it and show you the exact reading before recommending anything.
By controlling how the gate hangs, not by fighting the water. We use adjustable hinges, steel stiffener plates, and diagonal braces so the wood can move without dragging at the latch. We also recommend sealing the top edge and the end grain, which is where Boerne humidity enters the wood most aggressively. A warped gate can often be re-hung rather than rebuilt. Call (325) 252-5195 for an exact quote and a straight answer on whether your gate can be saved.
Built for Boerne’s Hill Country Gates
There is a conversation we have at least once a week with a Boerne homeowner. They had a fence company install a beautiful custom gate five years ago, and now it scrapes. They oil the hinges. They adjust the latch. It still scrapes. Then we arrive, check the post with a level, and show them what is actually happening: the post is anchored into limestone ledge, and the rock moved. A generic gate company will quote you a new gate. We reset the post and the gate runs true again. That is the difference. We rebuilt a sagging custom ornamental steel swing gate on a multi-acre lot off Ranger Creek Road exactly this way. The hinge post had been set straight into ledge. Our crew anchored it with epoxy and shims, installed a new LiftMaster operator with safety photocells, and tuned the rack and pinion so the heavy gate glides without binding, even after the next wet-dry cycle.
Every gate comes down to two parts: the latch that holds it and the post that carries it. That is the job we focus on. Whether your gate is a hand-built cedar swing gate near the old town or a 20-foot ornamental steel driveway gate on a ranchette, we treat it the same way: written price first, clean floors always, and a gate that works when the wind blows. Call (325) 252-5195 for a free estimate. A live person answers around the clock.
