Aurora’s gate work doesn’t start with the gate. It starts with what the gate is bolted to. Half the city’s housing went up in the 1950s and 1960s, the other half in the 1990s and 2000s, and both generations of fence post are moving under the freeze-thaw cycle that runs along the Front Range every winter. New gate installation in Aurora means solving for that footing before anyone hangs a panel. We’re gate specialists, not a general fence outfit that takes gate calls on the side, and we work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite and Mighty Mule equipment.

Why Aurora Homes Are Different
Aurora sits in a semi-arid pocket east of Denver where the sun does as much damage as the cold. Summers are dry and relentless, and that bakes moisture out of wooden gates until boards cup and rails pull away from the frame. Then winter arrives, water gets into every crack the summer opened, and the freeze-thaw cycle lifts posts out of shallow footings. In older neighborhoods like Original Aurora, posts were often set in concrete that was never deep enough for this soil, so a gate that hung square for years suddenly drags on one corner.
The housing stock splits the problem in two. Post-war brick ranches tend to have wooden privacy fences and metal driveway gates with hinges that have been quietly rusting for decades. In Heather Gardens, original 1970s redwood gates commonly fail at the hinge rather than the panel, because dry rot has been eating the stile from the inside where nobody looks. Newer subdivisions in the south and east, including master-planned communities like Saddle Rock and Southlands, bring a different headache: strict architectural rules on gate style, height and color, which turns plenty of ordinary repairs into compliance jobs before a wrench comes out. Spring hail adds its own damage, denting metal panels and cracking vinyl, while summer heat sags vinyl gates that were installed without enough bracing. Builders in newer pockets such as Southshore sometimes set gates that don’t meet setback rules in the first place, so a repair call can become a code-compliance consult.

Our Main Aurora Services
Two jobs bring most Aurora homeowners and property managers to the phone: a gate that has stopped working, and an electric operator that has stopped cooperating.
Gate Repair in Aurora
Manual gate repair in Aurora is usually a footing, hinge or frame problem before it’s anything else. A wooden gate that drags, latches crooked or won’t close flush is telling you the post has heaved or the stile has rotted through. We check the post, the hardware and the swing together, because fixing the hinge on a moving post just buys you a few months. Metal driveway gates in the older neighborhoods commonly need hinge replacement and re-hanging after years of dry rot and rust. You can read more about how we handle gate repair in Aurora.
Electric Gate Repair in Aurora
When an operator quits, the fault could be the motor, the control board, a safety sensor or a single corroded connection, and guessing gets expensive. We work through the system in order: power, then controls, then the mechanical drive, so a Ghost Controls driveway operator and a DoorKing high-cycle commercial unit both get a real diagnosis rather than a parts swap. Aurora’s temperature swings are hard on control boards and wiring connections, and hail has a way of finding exposed sensor heads. More on electric gate repair in Aurora.
Gate Installation in Aurora
Gate installation in Aurora starts with the ground, not the gate. Whether we’re working on a post-war ranch in Original Aurora where the original footing has shifted, or a 2000s build in Southlands where the HOA has opinions about color and height, the measure and the footing decide whether the gate still swings true after a few winters. We quote the whole job in writing before anything is ordered, so the panel style, the operator and the footing depth all get agreed up front. Gate Installation is a scheduled, measured job rather than a same-day call, which is exactly why the measuring stage matters.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate has heaved, racked or rusted past the point where re-hanging it will hold, or you’re adding a gate to a driveway that has never had one.
What it costs in Aurora
Figure roughly $1,800 to $4,500 for a driveway gate installed, depending on span, material and whether you’re adding an operator.
How we do it
We measure the opening and check what the posts are set into, set new footings to proper depth for the soil and frost movement, hang the gate true, then test the swing and latch before we call it done.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re tired of getting out of the car in a hail storm, or your property needs controlled access and a manual latch isn’t going to do it.
What it costs in Aurora
Automatic gate installation typically runs $2,500 to $6,500 including the operator, controls and safety edges, with the final figure set by the written estimate.
How we do it
We match the operator to the gate’s weight and cycle count, run the power and control wiring, mount the operator, then set the limits and test every safety edge and sensor before handover.
What Gate Installation Costs in Aurora
| Item | Typical range in Aurora |
|---|---|
| Driveway gate installation | $1,800 – $4,500 |
| Automatic gate installation | $2,500 – $6,500 |
| Electric gate operator installation | $1,200 – $3,200 |
Will hail or freeze-thaw damage a gate I install this year?
Not if the footings are set deep enough and the operator is rated for the cycle count. Aurora hail dents panels but rarely breaks a properly braced frame. We size the hardware for the climate before we quote.
Do I need a permit for a new gate in Aurora?
Usually yes for anything with an operator or a change to the fence line, and HOA approval is a separate step in master-planned communities. Ask the city’s building department early; we’ll flag what to check during the measure.
Brands We Service in Aurora
We work on the operators and hardware Aurora properties actually have: Ghost Controls and Mighty Mule on residential driveways, DoorKing and Elite on higher-cycle access points, plus LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear and Viking. We don’t claim factory authorization and we don’t stock parts on a truck, but familiarity with these systems shortens diagnosis. See our brands for the full picture.

What Aurora Customers Say
"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."
- Emily Whitaker"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."
- Matt Bennett"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
- Neil Reed
