Gate Company in Tempe, AZ

New gate installation in Tempe is a different job than it is almost anywhere else in the Valley. Most of the gates we’re asked to replace here are hung off 1960s and 70s block walls or set into narrow driveways that open onto an alley, so the work starts with the wall and the footing, not the gate itself. Our technicians have up to 11 years of experience with exactly this kind of retrofit, and we specialize in gates only. Call (855) 574-0402 and we’ll talk through what you’re working with.

Why Tempe Homes Are Different

Tempe’s core is mid-century single-story ranch and block homes, and the perimeter walls that come with them are slump-block or cinder-block, often built decades ago and sitting right on the lot line. That shapes nearly every gate job in the city. A gate in one of these neighborhoods is usually chain-link, wrought-iron, or wood hung between masonry piers, and when the hinge pulls or the post rots you can’t just bolt a new gate up and call it done. You have to re-anchor into aging block, match the original, and make sure the whole assembly still clears the alley pickup lane on a narrow driveway.

The desert does the rest. Tempe runs 110°F+ for stretches every summer, the UV is relentless, and monsoon dust and downpours take a toll: metal hinges and latches seize or corrode, wood dries and warps, and posts set in caliche-hard soil loosen when the storms roll through between June and September. Repair calls spike right after those storms. Add a growing layer of infill townhomes and ASU-area rentals on the same blocks, and you get a market where most calls are retrofit and hardware replacement rather than a fresh install.

Our Main Tempe Services

Beyond new installation, two services account for most of the calls we get from Tempe homeowners and property managers, and each has its own page where we go deeper.

Gate Repair in Tempe

Manual and mechanical gate repair covers the parts that fail first in this climate: seized hinges, worn latches, sagging frames, and posts that have let go of the block wall. On Tempe’s older wrought-iron and chain-link setups, the fix is often re-anchoring hardware into aging masonry rather than swapping the whole gate, and we match the original block so the wall still looks right afterward. If your gate drags, sticks, or won’t latch cleanly, that’s the kind of work we handle daily. Start with Gate Repair in Tempe.

Electric Gate Repair in Tempe

Electric and automatic gates need a different skill set entirely. When an operator stops mid-travel, a control board acts up, or a safety loop quits detecting a vehicle, a general handyman usually can’t diagnose it. We work on the motor, the board, the sensors, and the access hardware together, and we troubleshoot across brands rather than pushing a replacement. Tempe’s dust and heat are hard on outdoor operators, so we check the whole system, not just the obvious part. See Electric Gate Repair in Tempe.

Gate Installation in Tempe

When a gate in Tempe is past repair, the replacement has to be designed around the property, not dropped in from a catalog. In the mid-century block-wall neighborhoods, that means anchoring new hardware into decades-old masonry, matching the original wall, and making sure the gate swings clear of a narrow driveway that opens onto an alley. The heat and UV mean we spec hardware and finishes that hold up to 110°F+ summers and monsoon dust rather than corroding or seizing within a season. Installing a gate here is a retrofit problem first and a gate problem second, and that’s the mindset we bring to every gate installation.

Driveway Gate Installation

Signs you need it

Your existing driveway gate has so many failed hinges, bent pickets, and rotted posts that the cost of patching it has climbed past the cost of a properly built replacement anchored into sound masonry.

What it costs in Tempe

Driveway gate installation in Tempe typically runs $1,800 to $5,500 depending on width, material, and whether the posts need new footings, with the written estimate setting the final price.

How we do it

We measure the opening and the clearance to the alley, set or re-anchor posts at proper footing depth, hang the gate square, and test the swing and latch before we leave.

Automatic Gate Installation

Signs you need it

You’re adding an automatic operator to a manual gate for the first time, or an old opener has failed and the gate needs a new motor, control board, and safety hardware installed as a system.

What it costs in Tempe

Automatic gate installation in Tempe typically costs $2,500 to $6,500 including the operator and access hardware, and the written estimate fixes the final price before we start.

How we do it

We confirm the gate can carry an operator, mount the motor, run the power and safety edges, wire the control board and any intercom or keypad, then test every function and set the limits.

What Gate Installation Costs in Tempe

Can you install a gate on an existing block wall in Tempe?

Usually, yes. We inspect the block first, re-anchor into sound masonry or add a new footing when the wall can’t carry the load, and match the original block so the repair blends in.

How long does a new gate installation take in Tempe?

Most residential installations are measured and scheduled, then completed in a day or two once materials arrive, since this is planned work rather than an emergency repair. Call (855) 574-0402 for a free on-site estimate.

Brands We Service in Tempe

We work on equipment from FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, and five more major gate and access-control brands, and we troubleshoot across them rather than pushing a brand switch. Parts are ordered per job, so turnaround depends on the specific operator. You can see the full lineup on our brands page.

We work throughout Tempe, with steady calls from the older block-wall tracts near 85281 and the mid-century ranch streets where gates are hung off masonry instead of freestanding posts.

• Maple-Ash
• Dusk Drive
• Escalante
• Broadmor
• Optimist Park

Service Area – Cities Near Tempe

Tempe sits in the middle of the East Valley, so we also take gate work in the surrounding cities. If you’re just outside Tempe, we can still help: see our pages for Mesa, AZ, Paradise Valley, AZ, Phoenix, AZ, and Scottsdale, AZ. The same heat, dust, and aging-masonry issues show up across the Valley, so the approach doesn’t change much from one city to the next. Call (855) 574-0402 to confirm coverage for your address.
