Gate Repair in Conway, FL
Gate repair in Conway typically runs $180-$650 depending on what failed, and most jobs are completed in a single visit with the price settled before we start. Conway homes have a specific set of problems driven by the Conway Chain of Lakes: saturated soil that shifts posts, and summer lightning that destroys control boards. Call (833) 754-7503 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Conway Homes Are Different
Conway sits inside Central Florida’s Lightning Alley, the I-4 corridor that records more lightning strikes per square mile than nearly anywhere in North America. From June through September, afternoon thunderstorms roll across Lake Conway and Lake Gatlin with little warning, and the surge routinely destroys gate control boards and low-voltage wiring. The housing stock compounds it: 32812 is dominated by 1960s-1980s ranch and split-level homes, many still fitted with original wrought-iron gates now 40-60 years old. Rust scale, fatigue cracks, and seized hinges are common, especially on lakefront lots where humidity stays elevated year-round.
Gate Repair in Conway
Most gate repair calls in Conway trace back to two causes: lake-margin soil that shifts posts out of plumb, and lightning damage to automation. We stock fast-set concrete, surge-protected control boards, and welding gear on every truck because these are not occasional problems here. They are seasonal certainties. See our full Gate Repair scope for details on what we fix.
Post Repair
Post repair is the most common gate service we perform in Conway. The water table along the Conway Chain of Lakes destabilizes footings year after year, causing posts to heave and lean 2-4 inches within a few seasons. Post re-plumbing with fast-set concrete runs $320-$480 here, and it is standard kit on every truck because lakefront properties need it so often.
Weld Repair
The original ornamental gates on 32812 ranches have been swinging for 40-60 years in humid lake air. Weld cracks at hinge mounts and picket separation are routine. Mobile weld repair on a gate frame or mount runs $250-$420, and we match the original weld type and finish, then treat the repair against rust.
Control Board Replacement
When a summer storm takes out your gate, the control board is almost always the casualty. We replace surge-protected control boards in Conway for $380-$650, and we now install surge protection as standard on every replacement so the next strike doesn’t do the same damage.
Why do my gate posts keep leaning on my Lake Conway property?
The organic-rich, water-saturated fill soil along the lake margins destabilizes footings over time, causing posts to cant 2-4 inches. This lakefront condition rarely shows up a mile west in Pine Castle. We re-plumb these posts with fast-set concrete on nearly every 32812 call. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free assessment.
Gate Installation in Conway
New gate installation in Conway runs $2,800-$6,500 for a complete residential system, with most projects finished in a day and the price set in writing before work begins. Lakefront properties almost always need some post stabilization first, which we identify during the free on-site estimate. See the full Gate Installation scope for what a complete system includes.
Swing Gate Installation
Most Conway driveways take a swing gate, and most original posts are no longer plumb enough to automate. Single swing gate with operator runs $2,800-$4,200. We re-plumb with fast-set concrete before mounting the operator so the gate tracks true through its arc.
Security Gate Installation
For controlled access on the tighter lots near Little Lake Conway, security gates with keypad or telephone entry run $3,200-$5,500. We spec surge-protected boards as standard because this ZIP sits in Lightning Alley.
Should I automate a lakefront gate in Conway?
Yes, but budget for post stabilization first. Lakefront soil shifts posts out of plumb, which strains any new operator. We re-plumb posts with fast-set concrete before mounting automation, and we spec corrosion-resistant hardware for the humid lake air. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free on-site estimate.
Gate Motor & Opener in Conway
Gate motor and opener repair in Conway runs $180-$650 depending on whether it’s a control board, motor, or post issue, and most calls are completed same-day. Lightning damage drives more of our motor work in 32812 than mechanical wear does. See Gate Motor & Opener for the full service scope.
Motor Installation
New motor installation in Conway runs $650-$1,200 for a standard residential swing gate. On lakefront lots where re-plumbing is needed, fast-set concrete footing work adds $200-$400. We install with Conway’s soil movement in mind, using hardware that tolerates adjustment.
Motor Repair
Most motor repairs in 32812 are electrical. A control board replacement runs $280-$450. If the motor has burned out fighting rusted hinges, a full replacement runs $480-$650. We diagnose on-site and give a written estimate before work starts.
What brands do you repair in Conway?
We service nine brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. We stock common parts for Linear, BFT, and FAAC on the truck because they appear most in Conway’s older installations. Call (833) 754-7503 to confirm parts for your system.
Gate Access Control in Conway
Gate access control repair and installation in Conway runs $450-$1,800 depending on the system, and most jobs are completed in a single visit. Lakefront properties often need post re-plumbing before new electronics go on, which we build into the quote. See Gate Access Control for the full scope.
Keypad Entry Systems
Weather-resistant keypads for Conway’s older ranch properties run $380-$620 installed, including programming for up to 25 codes. On homes with original tubular-steel gates, we often mount keypads on extended posts to clear leaning frames.
Phone Entry Systems
Cellular phone entry units suit Conway’s longer driveways where running wire is impractical. Installation runs $650-$1,200 depending on signal strength and antenna needs. The system calls your cell directly, so you can buzz someone in from anywhere.
How do lightning storms affect my access control system?
Conway’s position in Lightning Alley means summer storms fry unprotected control boards and transformers several times each season. A $450-$890 control board replacement is far more expensive than the surge protection we install as standard. If your gate stopped working after a storm, call (833) 754-7503.
Gate Parts & Welding in Conway
Gate parts and welding in Conway runs $180 for a basic hinge replacement up to $890 for post re-plumbing with custom welding on lakefront properties. Most jobs are completed in a single visit because our trucks carry fast-set concrete, hinge sets, and mobile welding rigs. See Gate Parts & Welding for the full service scope.
Post Replacement & Re-Plumbing
Lakefront properties along Lake Conway and Little Lake Conway sit on organic-rich, water-saturated fill that destabilizes footings within years. Post re-plumbing with concrete stabilization runs $320-$580. Full post replacement with new footing and alignment runs $450-$890.
Custom Welding
The 40-60-year-old wrought-iron gates throughout 32812 rust and crack at stress points. Basic frame welding runs $280-$420. Extensive scrollwork reconstruction runs $520-$740. Our mobile rigs repair most gates in place, matched to the original profile and finish.
Can you weld my old tubular-steel gate without taking it down?
Yes. Our mobile welding rigs handle most frame repairs, crack sealing, and scrollwork reconstruction in place. For extensive damage, we may need to drop the gate to a work stand, but we’ll tell you upfront. Most Conway welding jobs stay on the hinges. Call (833) 754-7503 for an exact quote.
Brands We Service in Conway
We carry parts for FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking on our Conway trucks because these brands appear most often in 32812 installations. See our brands for the full list of nine certified opener lines.

What Conway Customers Say
"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. The chain was stretched and a guide roller had seized. Both replaced, and he reset the limits so it stops properly at each end now."
- Veronica Ramirez"The repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given and the office did not call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he arrived."
- Ruben Morales"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and put a surge protector on the line so hopefully it does not happen again."
- Layla Haddad
