Tell us what you're gating.
What it's made of
Everything is galvanized before it's powder-coated, whatever you choose. That's the part nobody sees and the reason the gate is still square in ten years.
Iron
The Bay Area estate default. Heaviest, strongest, and the only material you can genuinely make one-of-a-kind. Scrollwork, laser-cut panels, or a flat modern face.
Wood
Cedar or redwood cladding over a steel frame — never a wood frame, because wood frames sag. Warmest look on the street, and the only one that asks something of you later.
Composite
The wood look without the maintenance. Colour runs through the board, so a scrape doesn't show a different colour underneath. Won't warp in a wet winter or bleach in an open driveway.
Aluminum
Lightest leaf, which means a smaller operator, less strain on the posts, and a longer life for both. It cannot rust. Worth a hard look on a long span or a slope.
Custom
Bring a drawing, a photo, or a gate you saw on a hillside in Woodside. We build in the shop, not on your driveway, and we'll match the fence line while we're at it.
Swing or slide
Most people arrive wanting a swing gate. Roughly half of them have a driveway that wants a slider. Here's the honest split.
Almost nobody is, and it isn't your job to know. Send a photo of your driveway from the street and we'll tell you which one fits before anyone comes out.
The whole entrance
The gate, the motor that moves it, the keypad that opens it, the sensors that stop it, and the fence that runs off either side. One crew, one number, one warranty.
Sized to the leaf, not to the invoice. An oversized operator is a cheap way to break an expensive gate.
How people get in without you walking down the driveway. Programmed and handed over working, not left for you to figure out.
The gate is the part everyone looks at. The fence is what makes it look intentional. Same crew, same finish, same day.
Side yards, courtyards, and apartment entries. Usually goes in alongside the driveway gate and shares the access control.
Businesses, warehouses, and industrial sites. Heavier duty cycles, and hardware chosen for a gate that opens two hundred times a day.
Common on long Bay Area driveways, and not a reason to trench the lawn. A solar operator handles a residential duty cycle without a wire.
Hardware
Nine names, all of them serviceable in the Bay Area, all of them stocked by more than one supplier. We don't install equipment we can't support.
Operators
Access control
Already have an operator you like? We'll fit the gate to it rather than sell you a new one.
How it goes
Nobody orders steel on a guess. The number you approve is the number on the invoice.
Cost
A twelve-foot flat driveway and a twenty-foot uphill one are not the same job, and any company quoting both from a webpage is quoting one of them wrong. These are the six things that actually move it.
Your quote is fixed before we order steel. If we got the measurement wrong, that's ours to absorb, not yours.
Before and after
Drag the handle. Five entrances across the Bay Area, before we arrived and after we left.

Straight answers
Most installations take one to two days on site. That's the part you see. Fabrication happens in the shop before we ever arrive, and we'll give you that timeline in writing with the quote — it depends on the material and whether the gate is custom.
No. Automatic driveway gates are most of what we do, and it's what we'd recommend for a gate you'll use twice a day in the rain. But a manual gate is still a gate, we build them, and we'll quote one without trying to talk you out of it.
Common on long Bay Area driveways. A solar operator runs a residential duty cycle without a wire, and it's almost always cheaper than trenching a hundred feet of lawn. We'll tell you which way is cheaper at the site visit, not after.
Yes. We install and repair gates for businesses and industrial sites — barrier arms, yard gates, safety bollards, and removable bollards. Commercial hardware is chosen for duty cycle, not for looks, and it's a different conversation from a driveway.
Labor and materials, both. On the gate, the operator, and the access control we install. If something we fitted fails, we come back.
Yes, and often we'll tell you it doesn't need replacing. Most gates we're called out to want a part and an hour, not a new gate. If you're here about a gate that's already misbehaving, the repair page is the faster route — same-day if you call before 2pm.
It's free, it takes twenty minutes, and you'll know the number before you decide anything.
