What you can hold us to
Emmett on the University Club side had a drive with a sprinkler main and low-voltage lines right where the posts wanted to go, so one leaf went up on two new posts, set through rock around buried utilities. It was an estimated $5,100 to $7,000 job that typically took 2 to 3 days.
Sunita on the Lake Austin side runs one entry point with two phones and 12 codes, because her family juggles landscapers, deliveries and teenage drivers on one shared code. That access control job was an estimated $1,900 to $3,600 and typically took 4 to 8 hours.
Wes on the Quinlan Park Road side had a gate dead after a storm, with a burned board and a chewed low-voltage run. The repair was an estimated $900 to $1,700 and typically took 4 to 8 hours.
Steiner Ranch covers 4,600 acres on a ridge between Lake Travis and Lake Austin. In September 2011 the Labor Day fire destroyed 23 homes, and 28 more properties had landscaping or privacy-fence damage, with embers crossing RM 620. A metal fence does not carry fire to the house the way wood can, which is the plain reason many owners here ask for an ornamental tube steel fence line, estimated at $52 to $83 per linear foot over 2 to 4 days.
Steiner Ranch's median owner-occupied home value is $826,500 (ACS 2024), and 70.6% of homes are owner occupied. About 69% were built in 2000 or later, so most fences are first-generation wood reaching replacement.
Posts here go through limestone, so we set 36-inch fence-post and 48-inch gate-post footings and use rock bits where the ledge begins. Emmett's drive shows the rule, since we locate the sprinkler main and low-voltage lines before the first hole, and his University Club side job typically finished in 2 to 3 days. A tube steel single swing drive gate with operator is estimated at $2,700 to $4,900 over 1 to 2 days, and a trackless cantilever gate is roughly $6,200 to $9,800 over 2 to 4 days on a sloped drive.
Ridge lots favor steel gates with 14-gauge tube pickets on 11-gauge rails, sandblasted, primed with zinc-rich primer and powder coated at the coater. Where the drive is long, driveway gate installation includes slope handling and ground clearance so the leaf clears the crown of the drive. Every operator we set or repair gets its photo eyes and edges tripped before we drive back down the ridge.
A video intercom and keypad entry in Steiner Ranch is estimated at $750 to $4,300, and the crew typically finishes in 4 to 8 hours. An operator added to an existing gate is roughly $1,900 to $3,700 over 4 to 8 hours, and a walkway or courtyard entry gate is an estimated $650 to $1,450 over 4 to 8 hours.
A pool barrier with self-closing gate is typically $32 to $44 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days, while an ornamental stair or balcony guard on a lake-view deck is roughly $68 to $132 per linear foot over 5 to 10 hours. A track slide gate with rack drive is estimated at $1,700 to $4,800 over 2 to 3 days, and a double leaf swing entry with operators is an estimated $4,200 to $7,800 over 2 to 3 days. A quarterly gate service plan is typically $90 to $110 per gate per visit, with visits lasting 1 to 3 hours. Ridge-lot figures here are estimates that can change if the limestone ledge or a buried line moves a post, and the written quote prepared after we walk the ridge sets the final price and the schedule.
The drive from our Cedar Park shop to Steiner Ranch is typically 25 minutes, so a storm-dead gate gets a visit from the crew that built it. With 17 years and 1,483 projects behind us, a Steiner Ranch gate keeps the 18-month workmanship warranty on its welds, hinge set and footings, and its operator keeps the maker's parts warranty.
We work the Lake Austin side, the University Club side and the Quinlan Park Road side, and the same crew crosses into Lakeway and Leander the same week. Neighborhoods beyond the ridge are on our service area page.
Steiner Ranch owners often pair a new gate with gate access control, and a dead gate calls for electric gate repair. A long drive far from power can use solar gate operators. Older ironwork gets an old iron blast and recoat, estimated at $31 to $48 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days, and a steel or iron entry door is roughly $3,400 to $19,000 over 1 to 2 days.
A metal fence does not carry fire to the house the way wood can, though it is no fire shield.
