AfterGate Repair in Weston, FL
Gate motor and opener repair in Weston usually means one of two things: an original 1990s-era LiftMaster or Linear operator that has finally failed, or a control board that took a lightning hit from the flat Everglades terrain. Most Weston jobs run between $180 and $1,800, and we quote a written price before any work starts. Call (928) 260-0864 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Weston Homes Are Different
Weston was built out in the 1990s and early 2000s by Arvida as a master-planned city, and nearly every residential subdivision here has a controlled-access gate system with hardware specified at the time of development. Those gates are now 25 to 35 years old, so we’re seeing motor operators, logic boards, and ornamental iron work hitting end-of-life at the same time across the city. What this means in practice: a failure in one Weston community is usually not an isolated incident. We’ll often find three or four homes in the same pod with the same operator model and the same age showing the same symptom.
Weston was carved from the Everglades, and the high water table plus the canal network means underground conduit and gate operator vaults corrode faster than in drier inland markets. Standing water after summer storms sits in low spots around gate posts and pull-boxes. Broward County is also one of the highest lightning-density corridors in the country, and flat terrain offers no elevation buffer. When a summer storm rolls through, we typically get a cluster of calls from different Weston subdivisions the same morning, all with fried control boards.
Our Main Weston Services
These are the two services Weston homeowners call about most. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing, scope, and what to expect.
Gate Repair in Weston
A failed ornamental iron swing gate, a slide gate that stops mid-travel, or a clicking operator that won’t move: repair in Weston usually means diagnosing the original 1990s-era hardware, often through an HOA that needs to sign off on both the mechanical repair and how it looks.

Gate Installation in Weston
When a 30-year-old gate is beyond economical repair, replacement becomes the better call. Installation jobs in Weston require matching the existing community’s architectural character, which means working with the HOA’s aesthetic guidelines from the first measure to the final sign-off.

BeforeAfterGate Motor & Opener in Weston
Most Weston gate operators we service are original equipment from the 1990s or early 2000s, when LiftMaster and Linear dominated Arvida’s community build-outs. The most common failure is a logic board after a lightning strike, followed by motors that have simply worn out. We service Gate Motor & Opener work across all nine brands we carry parts for, including Ghost Controls and Elite, and we leave a written photo record of every adjustment on site.
Motor Repair
Signs you need it
The gate starts moving, then stops halfway with the operator buzzing or clicking.
What it costs in Weston
Motor repair in Weston typically runs $180 to $520, depending on whether the fault is a capacitor, a limit switch, or internal motor windings.
How we do it
We open the operator cover, test the capacitor and limit switch settings, inspect the drive belt or chain, and replace only the failed part, then photograph the repair.
Motor Installation
Signs you need it
The motor is seized, rusted through, or older than the neighborhood you live in and no longer worth repairing.
What it costs in Weston
Motor installation in Weston runs $490 to $1,800, depending on the brand and whether we’re reusing the existing arm bracket and mounting plate.
How we do it
We remove the old operator, mount the new motor to the existing frame, set the limit switches and force settings, and run a full open-close cycle with photo documentation.
Slide Motor
Signs you need it
The slide gate jerks, hesitates, or stops entirely while the motor continues to hum.
What it costs in Weston
Slide motor work in Weston runs $490 to $1,800, with the higher end covering heavy slide operators on long commercial-style runs.
How we do it
We check the chain tension, the drive sprocket, and the motor’s internal gearing, then adjust or replace the motor and photograph the final setup.
Linear Motor
Signs you need it
The gate travels unevenly or stalls on one part of its run, especially after rain when the track may be slightly submerged.
What it costs in Weston
Linear motor repair or replacement in Weston runs $490 to $1,800, depending on whether the arm and the control board are still good.
How we do it
We test the motor’s draw under load, inspect the arm linkage for play, and reset the travel limits before photographing the final configuration.
What Gate Motor & Opener Costs in Weston
| Item | Typical range in Weston |
|---|---|
| Motor repair | $180 - $520 |
| Motor or operator installation | $490 - $1,800 |
| Control board replacement after a lightning strike | $250 - $600 |
How quickly can you get to Weston for a motor repair?
We dispatch to Weston the same day for motor and operator failures. The flat terrain means we can move between subdivisions without traffic bottlenecks, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 to schedule it.
Do you stock Linear and LiftMaster parts for Weston’s older communities?
Yes. We keep the most common 1990s-era Linear and LiftMaster control boards and capacitors on our trucks, which means most Weston repairs don’t wait on a parts order.
Gate Access Control in Weston
Weston’s original community entry systems rely on access control equipment that is now two decades old or more: keypads, phone entry modules, and card readers specified during the Arvida build-out. The failure pattern here is lightning; a near-miss strike fries the receiver board and every resident’s remote stops working in the same afternoon. We repair and upgrade Gate Access Control systems across all major brands, including DoorKing and Mighty Mule, and we photograph every setting before we leave.
Phone Entry
Signs you need it
Residents report calls that cut off after one ring, or the phone entry module won’t dial out at all after a summer storm.
What it costs in Weston
Phone entry repair in Weston runs $150 to $450, covering the relay board, surge protection, and reprogramming.
How we do it
We test the phone module’s relay and line voltage, reprogram the directory, and photograph the new configuration before leaving.
Keypad Entry
Signs you need it
The keypad membrane is cracked from constant sun exposure, or the code works intermittently when the board behind it has moisture damage.
What it costs in Weston
Keypad replacement or repair in Weston runs $150 to $450, depending on whether it’s a standalone pedestal unit or a wall-mounted faceplate.
How we do it
We pull the old keypad, replace the membrane and backer board, wire the new unit to the operator, and re-enter the existing codes.
Video Intercom
Signs you need it
The video is grainy, the audio is one-way, or the indoor monitor won’t connect to the outdoor camera station.
What it costs in Weston
Video intercom work in Weston runs $150 to $450 for component replacement, with full system upgrades quoted separately in writing.
How we do it
We check the camera, the indoor monitor, and the low-voltage wiring between them, then replace only the failed component and photograph the result.
What Gate Access Control Costs in Weston
| Item | Typical range in Weston |
|---|---|
| Keypad, phone entry, or video intercom repair | $150 - $450 |
| Full access control system upgrade | $800 - $5,000 |
| Access control receiver board after a lightning strike | $150 - $450 |
Does an HOA need to approve access control changes in Weston?
In most Weston communities, yes. We coordinate the work with your HOA’s management office, and we provide the written scope and photo documentation they need to sign off on the repair. Call (928) 260-0864 for an exact quote.
Can you integrate a new keypad with an existing Linear operator?
Yes. We match new keypads to the existing operator’s input voltage and relay type, so you don’t have to replace a working motor to get a working keypad.
Gate Parts & Welding in Weston
The ornamental iron and aluminum gates installed across Weston in the 1990s are now at an age where hinge pins wear, posts lean, and weld joints crack. The high water table here means a post that shifts after heavy rains is not a surprise; it’s a pattern we see in nearly every subdivision with a canal running behind the property line. We handle Gate Parts & Welding work on site, including custom fabrication and rail repair.
Welding
Signs you need it
A cracked weld at the hinge plate or along the ornamental pickets, usually spotted after someone notices the gate is starting to sag.
What it costs in Weston
On-site welding in Weston runs $150 to $500 per cracked weld point, with full re-welds of a large ornamental gate priced after we see the damage.
How we do it
We grind the crack, TIG or MIG weld the joint, then re-swing the gate to confirm it clears the ground and the post before photographing the repair.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
The post leans inward, the gate drags on the ground, or the post base shows heavy rust where it enters the concrete footer.
What it costs in Weston
Post replacement in Weston runs $300 to $900, including cutting the old post below grade and setting a new one in the existing footer.
How we do it
We brace the gate, cut the cracked post at the base, set a new post in the original concrete, and confirm the gate level before the concrete cures.
Rail Repair
Signs you need it
The bottom rail on a slide gate or the mid-rail on a swing gate has corroded through from repeated exposure to standing water.
What it costs in Weston
Rail repair in Weston runs $150 to $500 per rail section, depending on whether we’re replacing a section or splicing in a new rail.
How we do it
We remove the corroded section, cut and weld a matching rail profile into place, and re-hang the gate to confirm it travels true.
What Gate Parts & Welding Costs in Weston
| Item | Typical range in Weston |
|---|---|
| On-site welding per cracked joint | $150 - $500 |
| Post replacement | $300 - $900 |
| Rail repair or splice | $150 - $500 |
Do you weld aluminum gates or just steel?
We weld both. Most Weston ornamental iron gates are steel, but the aluminum walk-gates on newer homes need a different filler and technique, and we have a welder on the truck for both. Call (928) 260-0864 for an exact quote.
Can you repair a gate post without removing the gate?
Usually yes. We brace the gate, cut the post at the base, and set the new post in the same footer. The gate stays hanging throughout, so your driveway is never left open.

We service Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule motors, along with five other major automation brands, and we keep the most common Weston-era control boards and capacitors on our trucks. Most parts go in the same day we diagnose the fault. See our brands for the full list.

In Weston, the two biggest price drivers are lightning damage and the age of the original operator. A 30-year-old Linear unit that has already been repaired twice may cost less to replace than to patch again, and we’ll write both options on the quote before you choose. The price we hand you in writing is the price you pay; no additions at the end, ever.
