Our team provides a fresh reverse test after each repair and honest repair-or-replace advice, delivering a straight answer for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 17 years in business and an 18-month workmanship warranty on welds, hinge set, footings and gate travel, our 1,483 completed projects include many repairs where the old frame was worth saving.
From the first sag measurement to the last photo eye test, our team handles every detail. Serving Shady Hollow and neighboring West Lake Hills, Rollingwood and Cedar Park, we tell you whether to fix or rebuild before we quote.

What you can hold us to
Mina on the Brodie Lane side had one 14 ft leaf dragging at the latch, a sagging leaf that had worn out its operator by dragging on the drive. The repair was an estimated $1,900 to $2,700 and typically took 4 to 8 hours.
Cora on the Slaughter Creek side had two leaves on 18-year-old operators and asked whether to rebuild worn gearboxes when parts had been discontinued. That opener repair was an estimated $2,000 to $3,000 and typically took 4 to 8 hours.
If a leaf drags, the operator is usually the casualty, not the cause, so we straighten and re-hang the frame before we power it. Mina's leaf wore out its own operator that way. When parts are discontinued, as Cora found, a new operator added to an existing gate is estimated at $1,900 to $3,700 over 4 to 8 hours and beats a rebuilt gearbox.
A tube steel single swing drive gate with operator is roughly $2,700 to $4,900 over 1 to 2 days when the frame is past saving.
Shady Hollow began building in 1972 and sits partly inside the City of Austin. Annexation shrank the census-designated place from 5.4 to 2.1 sq mi, and Austin Fire took over on July 1, 2016. Whether your lot is in Austin decides whose permit applies, and gate access goes to Austin Fire. Confirm current text with the city and the county before you order a new gate.
The Brodie Lane side and the Slaughter Creek side can fall under different rules, so we ask for the lot's jurisdiction before we draw a thing. Cora's job was on the Slaughter Creek side and Mina's was on the Brodie Lane side, so we would ask on either street.
Shady Hollow's homes skew older, with 70% built from 1980 through 1999 (ACS 2024), and 95.4% are owner occupied. Median owner-occupied home value is $755,900 (ACS 2024). Older hardware is common on homes of that age, and parts for Cora's 18-year-old operators had been discontinued.
An old iron blast and recoat is estimated at $31 to $48 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days, which suits an older fence that is sound, and a hand-forged iron fence is roughly $88 to $128 per linear foot over 3 to 6 days when it is not. A steel or iron entry door is typically $3,400 to $19,000 over 1 to 2 days.
Replacement leaves are usually steel gates or a rebuilt frame under gate replacement. Every frame is sandblasted, primed with zinc-rich primer and powder coated at the coater, on ball-bearing hinges that stop the drag. A trackless cantilever gate is estimated at $6,200 to $9,800 over 2 to 4 days, and an ornamental stair or balcony guard is roughly $68 to $132 per linear foot over 5 to 10 hours.
A video intercom and keypad entry in Shady Hollow is estimated at $750 to $4,300, and the crew typically finishes in 4 to 8 hours. A double leaf swing entry with operators is roughly $4,200 to $7,800 over 2 to 3 days, and a track slide gate with rack drive is an estimated $1,700 to $4,800 over 2 to 3 days.
A walkway or courtyard entry gate is typically $650 to $1,450 over 4 to 8 hours, and an ornamental tube steel fence line is roughly $52 to $83 per linear foot over 2 to 4 days. Shady Hollow figures here are estimates that can change once we see whether the leaf, the operator or both have worn out, and the written quote prepared after that inspection sets the final price and the schedule.
The drive from our Cedar Park shop to Shady Hollow is typically 39 minutes, so we bring the parts for the likely repair on the first visit. The same crew serves Lakeway, Steiner Ranch and Volente repairs, and we can quote a video intercom and keypad entry on the same visit. Repair visits in Georgetown, Leander and Round Rock use the same stock. With 17 years and 1,483 projects behind our repair work, a re-hung leaf keeps the 18-month workmanship warranty on welds, hinge set and footings, and a new operator keeps the maker's parts warranty.
We work the Brodie Lane side and the Slaughter Creek side, and the same crew crosses into Rollingwood and West Lake Hills the same week. Lots outside these two sides are covered on our service area page.
Shady Hollow owners often start with automatic gate repair or gate opener repair, and a plan keeps it from happening again. A quarterly service plan that keeps a repaired gate from dragging again is an estimated $90 to $110 per gate per visit, with visits of about 1 to 3 hours.
Usually the frame has sagged, as on Mina's 14 ft leaf at Brodie Lane, an estimated $1,900 to $2,700 repair.
Not when parts are discontinued, which is what Cora found with 18-year-old operators.
It depends on whether the lot is in Austin, and gate access goes to Austin Fire, so confirm current text with the city.
Cora's opener repair was an estimated $2,000 to $3,000, and the quote for your own opener fixes the final figure.
Plan on an estimated 4 to 8 hours at the gate, with parts already on the truck.
If the frame hangs true we repair, and if it drags we straighten or replace it.
Yes, Rollingwood and West Lake Hills are next door, so repairs there ride along with a Shady Hollow visit.
Contact us today, and we will inspect your Shady Hollow gate, settle the permit question, and quote a rehang like Mina's at an estimated $1,900 to $2,700 or new operators like Cora's at roughly $2,000 to $3,000.
