A warped cedar gate twisted beyond adjustment, hung on good masonry columns

Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.

Ignacio's driveway at Ranch at Brushy Creek in Cedar Park had a warped 12 ft cedar gate twisted beyond adjustment. We replaced it with a steel leaf hung on the existing masonry columns, so nothing around it had to be rebuilt. The job was an estimated $2,800 to $4,000 and took an estimated 1 to 2 days. The result is a straight new gate on columns that did not need to change.

Why Cedar Park Gates Wear Out

A gate wears out at the hinge and the leaf long before the columns give up, which is why most Cedar Park replacements keep the opening and change the gate. The city grew from 26,049 people in 2000 to 77,595 in 2020, so many Buttercup Creek and Twin Creeks gates are now 20 years old. Ranch at Brushy Creek and Crystal Falls gates took the same heat and the same humidity, and wood leaves swell, sag and drag. Lake lot gates in Lakeway carry more weather off the water, while Steiner Ranch gates fight sun and slope.

What Every Replacement Gate Includes

Frame steel
14-gauge tube pickets on 11-gauge rails and 3/16-inch wall gate posts, sized to the leaf rather than to a catalog.
Hinge
Ball-bearing heavy-duty hinges rated above the finished leaf weight, with the leaf weighed before the hinge is ordered.
Finish system
Sandblast, zinc-rich primer and a polyester powder coat baked at the coater, never field paint on new steel.
Footings
36-inch minimum depth for fence posts and 48-inch for gate posts, with rock bits used wherever a limestone ledge stops the auger.
Picket spacing
We hold no more than 4 inches between pickets on any new leaf a child can reach.
Latch
A latch matched to the leaf and set where a hand finds it.
Workmanship
An 18-month warranty on welds, the hinge set and gate travel.

Gate Replacement Cost in Cedar Park

A replacement gate in Cedar Park is priced to the leaf, and the width, the height, the column condition and any operator on the gate move the number most.

A 12 ft driveway leaf on sound columns is an estimated 1 to 2 days at the shop-built price above, and a walk gate is often hung in a morning. Column condition, leaf height and an added operator can change these estimates, so the written quote you receive once we have probed your columns sets the final price and the schedule.

Replace the Gate or Recoat It

Replacement is the right call when the frame has warped or rusted through, and a blast and recoat is the better value when the frame is sound. Each row below pairs an option with its estimated price and the frame it suits.

The Process for Replacing a Gate on Old Columns

A replacement goes in a set order, so the new leaf matches the old opening and the hinge loads are checked first. The process starts with the columns and ends with a swing test.

  • Check the columns: we probe the masonry or posts for cracks, lean and anchor strength before we quote.
  • Weigh the leaf: the finished gate is weighed before the hinge is ordered.
  • Set the hinges: the hinge post is plumbed, and the leaf is hung with a clearance gap that clears the pavement.
  • Test the swing: the gate is swung open and shut, and the latch is set and tested before the crew leaves.

Steel is the standard replacement material, and our steel gate and fence material comparison explains galvanizing and powder coat. For a new walk gate beside the driveway, see our pedestrian entry gates, and for a gate that opens by remote see gate access control.

Why Owners Hire Our Crew for Gate Replacement

We measure the opening, weld the leaf and hang it ourselves, so the crew that probes your columns is the crew that sets your hinges. Across 17 years and 1,483 projects, our 18-month workmanship warranty has stood behind the welds, the hinge set and the travel of every gate we built. Ignacio's job shows the plain case: keep the masonry columns, replace the hinge plates and swap the wood for a steel leaf with a new operator, an estimated $2,800 to $4,000 over 1 to 2 days. Mina's Brodie Lane side leaf shows the other answer, since new hinges and a trued frame saved it for an estimated $1,900 to $2,700. Desmond's association board in Travisso replaced two sagging pairs one lane at a time for an estimated $9,800 to $14,200. Paige's 42 in walk gate in Hills of Lakeway, which replaced an old wood gate that stuck in humid weather, was an estimated $800 to $1,300.

Gate Replacement Service Areas

We replace gates across a 40-mile radius, with gates in Round Rock, Georgetown and Leander, with every town we reach listed on the service area page. Georgetown acreage like Jerome's on Andice Road can need a wide leaf for trailers. Leander's Crystal Falls and Travisso homes are newer, so most orders replace a builder gate. In Round Rock the columns are checked first, and the city requires a Fire Marshal approved Knox key switch on an access-controlled gate. Steiner Ranch lots often sit on slope, and homes in The Hills need association approval first. Brodie Lane side and Slaughter Creek side homes in Shady Hollow date from 1972 on, and Lime Creek Road and Volente Road lake lots in Volente call for a galvanized leaf. Beckett's 14 ft leaf in Great Hills had sagged on its first post, so the replacement went on a new steel post and was cut to clear the grade. Emmett's leaf on the University Club side of Steiner Ranch needed two new posts bored through rock around buried utilities, an estimated $5,100 to $7,000. Shirin's 1970s gate on Westlake Drive did not need replacing, because a blast, two scroll repairs and a recoat saved it for an estimated $2,000 to $2,800.

How a Gate Gets From Our Shop to Your Drive

  1. Site measure

    An estimator walks the opening, reads the grade and marks where the leaf or the slide run has to clear.

  2. Drawings and approval

    Steel gets cut only after you sign off on a scaled drawing that names the tube, the coating and the opener.

  3. Shop fabrication

    Our Cedar Park welders build it, the steel goes for galvanizing and powder coat, and it ships finished.

  4. Install and safety test

    Posts cure, the leaf goes up, the opener gets wired, and you watch each photo eye and edge stop the gate.
