Gate Repair in Collierville, TN
Gate repair in Collierville typically runs $180 to $650 depending on whether the problem is mechanical, electrical, or structural, and most jobs are finished in a single visit. What makes Collierville work different is the housing stock: thousands of ornamental iron driveway gates and automated community entrances built between 1993 and 2012 are now hitting the same repair window at once. Call (833) 754-7503 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Collierville Homes Are Different
Collierville’s residential boom produced a dense concentration of upscale planned subdivisions and custom homes, many with ornamental iron driveway gates and automated entrance systems now 15 to 25 years old. Shelby County’s expansive clay soil swells in wet winters and shrinks in dry summers, tilting gate posts and throwing operators out of alignment in ways a simple adjustment won’t permanently fix. The humid subtropical climate also accelerates rust on iron and steel. A technician who doesn’t know Collierville’s soil treats symptoms. We treat the footing.
Gate Repair in Collierville
Gate repair in Collierville usually costs between $180 and $650, and we settle the price before any work begins. Our crews cover the full 38017 and 38027 ZIP codes, from the established neighborhoods along Houston Levee Road to newer developments near Collierville-Arlington Road. Whether your gate drags, grinds, or won’t respond to the remote, we diagnose first and quote second. Learn more on our Gate Repair page.
Post Repair
This is the call we wish more Collierville homeowners made sooner. In older HOA subdivisions along the 38017 corridor built in the late 1990s, swing gate posts were often set on shallow concrete pads that can’t hold position in expansive clay. Every spring after a wet winter, the post tilts and the gate drags. A limit switch adjustment lasts a month. Digging out the old pad and resetting the footing deeper is the permanent fix.
Post repair and footing resets in Collierville generally run $450 to $850 depending on post size and excavation depth.
Rust Treatment
The Memphis metro’s humidity strips years off a gate finish that isn’t maintained. We’ve seen 10-year-old ornamental iron gates in Collierville with weld degradation that should have taken 25 years to develop. Our rust treatment grinds to bare metal, applies rust-inhibiting primer, and color-matches the topcoat. Where welds have thinned, we cut out the compromised section and fabricate a matching replacement.
Rust treatment and spot welding in Collierville runs $220 to $480 depending on extent.
How much does gate repair cost in Collierville?
Most gate repairs in Collierville run $180 to $650, with hinge repairs starting around $160 and full post resets reaching $850. Heavier ornamental gates, rust damage, and brand-specific parts push the number higher. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free estimate, settled before any work starts.
Gate Installation in Collierville
New gate installation in Collierville typically runs $2,800 to $7,500 with automation included, and most projects are completed in one to two days. Collierville’s custom homes from the 1993-2012 boom demand gates that match the property’s character, and HOA design review is often part of the process. We build to your community’s covenants and handle the paperwork. See our Gate Installation page for the full scope.
Swing Gate Installation
This is where Collierville’s clay soil makes or breaks the job. Swing gate posts on shallow concrete pads tilt seasonally in Shelby County’s expansive clay, and by March the gate scrapes the driveway. Our standard is a deeper pier, excavated and poured below the frost-heave line, so the gate swings free year-round.
A single swing driveway gate with automation in Collierville runs $2,800 to $4,500; a double ornamental iron gate runs $4,200 to $6,800.
Sliding Gate Installation
Sliding gates work well on Collierville properties with limited swing clearance or driveways that pitch toward the street. The track must be dead level and the foundation stable, because any tilt in the track translates to binding, motor strain, and early failure.
Track or cantilever sliding gates in Collierville run $5,500 to $8,200 installed.
How deep should a gate post footing be in Collierville clay?
For Shelby County’s expansive clay, we excavate to 36-42 inches and pour a bell-bottom pier with rebar. The 18-24 inch pads common in 1990s installations ride the seasonal heave and fail repeatedly. The deeper pier costs more upfront and far less than three service calls to rehang the same gate. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free estimate.
Gate Motor & Opener in Collierville
Gate motor repair in Collierville typically runs $280 to $650 for standard residential jobs, with same-day or next-day service across the 38017 and 38027 ZIP codes. Collierville’s gates skew toward commercial-grade operators like LiftMaster, Elite, and Viking, which require brand-specific parts and programming knowledge, not guesswork. We carry parts for nine major brands. Our Gate Motor & Opener page covers the details.
Motor Repair
Not every failed motor needs replacing. In Collierville, we frequently find misaligned limit switches, corroded circuit boards from humidity exposure, and stripped gears on gates that have been dragging against shifted posts. Diagnosing before quoting saves money and often preserves the existing housing, which matters when an HOA in The Farms or West Farms has already approved the finish.
Standard motor repair in Collierville runs $180 to $340, and repairs over $250 automatically qualify for $50 off.
Linear Motor Service
Linear motors are common on Collierville’s slide-gate installations, particularly on sloped driveways where swing gates aren’t practical. When clay soil heave tilts a post, track sensors lose alignment and the motor faults out, every spring until the footing is corrected. We realign sensors, inspect the track, and tell you straight whether the post foundation is the real problem.
Linear motor replacement for slide gates in Collierville runs $520 to $780.
Do Collierville HOAs require pre-approval before a new gate motor?
Yes, most Collierville HOAs require architectural review before any motor replacement, and new operators usually must match the original paint color. We handle documentation, color matching, and HOA coordination as part of the installation. Call (833) 754-7503 and we’ll walk you through your community’s specific requirements before scheduling.
Gate Access Control in Collierville
Gate access control work in Collierville runs $280 to $1,850 depending on whether you need a keypad reset, a smart-home integration, or a post-footing rebuild. Collierville’s newer custom homes and estates increasingly ask for gate control through Alexa, Google Home, or a dedicated app, and we install relays that don’t disable safety sensors. Our Gate Access Control page explains the full range.
Smart Access Integration
We install and program smart relays on existing FAAC, Linear, and Viking operators so your gate responds to voice commands, geofencing, or scheduled routines. We preserve the manual override and entrapment sensors, which matters because some smart-home installers bypass them to save time.
Smart access integration on an existing operator in Collierville runs $480 to $920.
Keypad Entry
Keypads remain the workhorse at Collierville HOA entrances and private driveways. We program and replace vandal-resistant keypads from Linear and DoorKing, including multi-code systems for temporary contractor or delivery codes. If your keypad is mounted on a post that’s tilting from clay heave, we’ll say so plainly: a new keypad on a bad post is a short-term fix.
Keypad reprogramming or replacement in Collierville runs $280 to $450.
Can I integrate my Collierville gate with a smart home system?
Yes, most modern and many older operators integrate with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, or a dedicated gate app. We install smart relays on FAAC, Linear, Viking, and other brands common in Collierville while keeping all safety sensors and manual overrides intact. Typical integration takes 2-3 hours. Call (833) 754-7503 for a quote.
Gate Parts & Welding in Collierville
Gate parts and welding in Collierville run $180 to $650 for most jobs, from hinge resets and post replacements to custom fabrication. Our trucks carry welding gear and brand-specific parts for LiftMaster, Elite, Viking, and Ghost Controls systems. Collierville’s mix of 1990s HOA subdivisions and newer estate properties means we see every failure mode. Our Gate Parts & Welding page has the details.
Hinge Replacement
Collierville’s humid climate strips protective coatings off iron hinges faster than drier regions, and clay soil heave compounds the stress when a post tilts. We replace bent or rusted hinges with heavy-gauge steel, then check whether the post itself needs resetting. A new hinge on a tilted post is a temporary fix at best.
Single hinge replacement in Collierville runs $180 to $320.
Post Replacement
In older HOA communities along the 38017 corridor, swing gate posts on shallow pads tilt every spring and drag the gate. Adjusting the operator or grinding the gate bottom doesn’t solve it. We excavate the failed pad, pour a new footing at proper depth, and rehang the gate to plumb.
Post replacement with excavation in Collierville runs $450 to $650.
Can you replace an entire post on a community entrance gate without redoing the driveway?
Yes, we excavate the failed footing, remove the old post, and set a new one with minimal disturbance to surrounding asphalt or pavers. We coordinate with HOA property management and keep access open during the work. Post replacement with excavation in Collierville runs $450 to $650. Call (833) 754-7503 to schedule an inspection.

What Collierville Customers Say
"The gate works properly now and the price was fair. It did take two visits, because the operator we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They did not charge for the second trip."
- Carrie Mercer"A hydraulic arm was leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned the stain as best he could, and it has been dry since."
- Erin Sutton"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."
