Why Cedar Hills Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
We’ve been the company Cedar Hills homeowners call back. Not because we’re the cheapest bid, but because we fix it once and it stays fixed.
Our technicians know the difference between a gate sagging from a bent hinge and one thrown off by surface roots from a fifty-year-old Douglas fir. We’ve replaced posts along Cedar Hills Boulevard where the original 1960s cedar footings had turned to sponge, and we’ve re-plumbed driveway gates in the Oak Hills area where the grade shifted after three wet winters. When you describe your gate problem, we already understand the soil, the tree cover, and the vintage of hardware you’re likely dealing with.
Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise - written, no paperwork, no arguing. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. We’ve operated this way since 1984, and we plan to be here for another forty years.
A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail trees. No callback queues. Background-checked, uniformed technicians arrive when we say they will, with upfront pricing settled before a single bolt is turned.

Why Cedar Hills’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Cedar Hills takes its name from its dense canopy of mature Douglas firs and western red cedars, and those same trees are the dominant driver of gate failure here. Surface roots routinely heave wooden post footings and throw gates out of plumb within a decade or two, while the perpetual shade keeps post bases damp year-round in the Tualatin Valley’s roughly 38-inch annual rainfall, dramatically accelerating rot at ground level. Gate repair in Cedar Hills is therefore disproportionately about post replacement and re-plumbing shifted structures - not just hardware swaps.
The local housing stock reinforces this pattern. Cedar Hills consists predominantly of 1950s-1970s ranch-style and split-level suburban tract homes, many retaining original or once-replaced wooden fence lines with posts set without modern pressure-treated lumber or concrete collars. When we get a call from the Oak Hills area or along Cedar Hills Boulevard, we bring post-hole diggers and concrete mix, not just a bag of hinges.
The wet season runs October through May, with extended rain and overcast skies that prevent wood from fully drying. Even summer drip irrigation in Cedar Hills’s heavily landscaped yards keeps soil moisture elevated around fence footings. Rust on ferrous hardware - hinge bolts, strike plates, chain links - progresses faster here than in drier parts of the Portland metro. We specify galvanized or stainless hardware on every replacement, because a repair that ignores the local moisture cycle will fail before the next dry summer.
One jurisdictional note: Cedar Hills is unincorporated Washington County, not part of bordering Beaverton. Fence and gate replacement projects fall under Washington County Land Use & Development Services rules rather than Beaverton municipal code. We’ve seen out-of-area contractors assume Beaverton permitting applies, then stall out when the paperwork’s wrong. We know the correct process and handle it properly from the start.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Cedar Hills
Most gate repairs in Cedar Hills run between $280 and $650, with simple hinge or latch work at the lower end and post replacement or motor repair toward the higher end. Posts compromised by root heave or ground-level rot - common here due to mature tree cover and persistent soil moisture - push costs toward $350-$650 per post. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free, exact quote; estimates are free and we honor our $50-off repair offer on qualifying jobs.
The sagging usually returns because the post itself has shifted or rotted at ground level, not because the hinge was wrong. Cedar Hills’s mature Douglas fir and western red cedar root systems heave footings, and the Tualatin Valley’s wet-season moisture keeps post bases damp enough to sustain rot fungi year-round. We check post plumb and integrity first, then address the hardware - fixing only the hinge on a compromised post wastes your money. Call us to assess whether you need re-plumbing or post replacement.
Yes, and here’s where Cedar Hills differs from neighboring Beaverton: as unincorporated Washington County, your project falls under Washington County Land Use & Development Services, not Beaverton municipal code. We’ve seen contractors assume Beaverton rules apply and create permitting delays. We handle the correct paperwork from the start. For a straightforward repair without structural changes, permitting may not be required; for full replacement or new automation, it typically is. We’ll tell you exactly what your job needs when we quote it.
Most gate motor repairs in Cedar Hills are completed in a single visit because our trucks carry parts and diagnostic equipment for nine major automation brands, including FAAC, Linear, and Viking. If your motor has failed entirely and requires a model we don’t stock, we’ll secure it quickly and return to install - but we resolve the majority on the first trip. Same-day service is typical for calls placed before 2 p.m. Call (833) 754-7503 to check current availability.
Repair is usually more economical if the frame is sound and the posts remain solid at ground level. In Cedar Hills, however, we frequently find that 1960s-era cedar posts have rotted below grade while the gate itself looks fine from the driveway. Replacing compromised posts and re-hanging the existing gate often costs $750-$1,400, while full replacement with new materials runs higher. We’ll give you an honest assessment of both options with upfront pricing for each. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free evaluation.
