What you can hold us to
Renata, Redbud Trail, West Lake Hills
An architect's elevation with a slim arch that had to stay see-through from the road
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Renata brought an architect's elevation with a slim arch that had to stay see-through from the road. We worked from a full-scale shop drawing, 1-inch tube pickets at 4-inch centers and a low arch that matched the roof pitch. The 14 ft opening, two arched leaves in steel with drawn bronze powder coat, was an estimated $5,600 to $7,600 and took an estimated 2 to 3 days to set. The gate reads as open from the street, and it matches the drawing to the inch.
A custom driveway gate is one that is drawn for your opening and welded in a shop, not picked from a catalog size. That means the opening width, the grade and the post spacing are measured first, and the drawing follows them.
Renata's Redbud Trail home in West Lake Hills needed a low arch matched to the roof pitch. Lakeway's flat-top rule sets the top rail on a gate like Joelle's on the Lohmans Crossing side.
A shop-built double leaf swing entry with operators is estimated at $4,200 to $7,800, and the design, the tube size and the finish move that number most. A plain single leaf sits lower, and hand-forged scrollwork sits higher.

| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Tube steel single swing drive gate with operator | Est. $2,700 to $4,900 per complete system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Trackless cantilever gate | Est. $6,200 to $9,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Double leaf swing entry with operators | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Track slide gate with rack drive | Est. $1,700 to $4,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Operator added to an existing gate | Est. $1,900 to $3,700 per system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
Setting a tube steel single swing gate with operator is an estimated 1 to 2 days, while a double leaf swing entry runs an estimated 2 to 3 days. If the drive suits a different style, a track slide gate with rack drive is estimated at $1,700 to $4,800 over 2 to 3 days, and a trackless cantilever is estimated at $6,200 to $9,800 over 2 to 4 days. A walkway or courtyard entry gate beside the drive is an estimated $650 to $1,450 and about 4 to 8 hours. Past jobs show the spread. Cole's two 8 ft leaves in Leander, in tube steel with satin black powder coat, were an estimated $4,600 to $6,400, and Maribel's 16 ft opening between limestone columns in Lakeway, in steel with oil-rubbed bronze powder coat, was an estimated $6,400 to $7,900. Garrett's 18 ft slide on a flat Round Rock drive was an estimated $2,900 to $4,400, and Yvonne's 20 ft clear cantilever on a sloped gravel drive in Volente was an estimated $7,100 to $9,400. The shop lead time before the set day is on your written quote. Every figure here is an estimate that could change with the drawing, the tube size or the finish you approve, and the written quote you sign after the drawing sets the final price and the schedule.
The picket pattern decides how the gate looks and how hard it is to climb, and the tube size decides how heavy and stiff it is. The table shows the choices we draw most often.
| Choice | What it changes | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Flat-top rail | Cleaner top line, passes strict fence ordinances | Lakeway and HOA streets |
| Spear or finial top | Classic look, harder to climb | Acreage and hilltop drives |
| Arched top | Frames the view, adds weld hours | Architect-drawn elevations |
| Heavier tube and wall | Stiffer long leaf, heavier hinge | Leaves past 14 ft |
| Powder coat over zinc primer | Long finish life in Central Texas heat | Every shop-built gate |
We draw the leaf to scale over your measured opening, mark the hinge and latch side, and note where an operator will mount.
Revisions are free before cutting. After welding starts, a change becomes a new quote, because the shop has already committed steel to your drawing. Texas homestead projects over $5,000 follow a written contract and escrow under Property Code Chapter 162, so confirm current text with the city or your lender if your project falls under it.
Tube steel is the standard for shop-built gates because it welds clean and takes powder coat well. Our steel gate material comparison explains galvanizing against powder coat, and automatic driveway gates covers the operator once the leaf is drawn.
We weld in our own shop and set the gate ourselves, so the person who drew your leaf is the one who fits it. In 17 years and over 1,483 projects, the 18-month workmanship warranty has covered welds, hinge set, footings and gate travel on every shop-built gate.
We build and set shop-fabricated gates across a 40-mile radius, including West Lake Hills, Lakeway, Georgetown and Round Rock, and the full list is on our service area page. Limestone under Volente and Steiner Ranch lots means rock bits ride along for the footings. A shop-built leaf in Georgetown or Round Rock is an estimated 2 to 3 days to set, and a single leaf in Leander or Cedar Park is an estimated 1 to 2 days. Lakeway and Rollingwood owners should confirm the flat-top rule and the 15 ft curb setback with the city. Fire review and association sign-off come first in Shady Hollow and The Hills, before the shop cuts any steel. Renata's 14 ft arched opening on Redbud Trail was an estimated $5,600 to $7,600.
A shop-built leaf often pairs with estate entry columns, a matching wrought iron fence or a hand-forged wrought iron gate. A modern elevation often suits horizontal slat gates.
A shop-built double leaf entry is estimated at $4,200 to $7,800, and the drawing you approve fixes the final number in your written quote.
Shop lead time depends on the drawing and the finish, and your written quote names it before you sign.
Yes, we build to a full-scale shop drawing and match the arch, the picket pattern and the tube sizes to the elevation.
We hold clear gaps to no more than 4 inches on every custom leaf.
Yes, a manual leaf is welded the same way, and an operator can be added later at an estimated $1,900 to $3,700.
Sandblast, zinc-rich primer and polyester powder coat, which holds color better than paint in full sun.
Request a free estimate and we will take your opening dimensions, draw the leaf to scale and write a quote naming the tube sizes, the picket pattern and the finish.
Start to finish
An estimator walks the opening, reads the grade and marks where the leaf or the slide run has to clear.
Steel gets cut only after you sign off on a scaled drawing that names the tube, the coating and the opener.
Our Cedar Park welders build it, the steel goes for galvanizing and powder coat, and it ships finished.
Posts cure, the leaf goes up, the opener gets wired, and you watch each photo eye and edge stop the gate.
