Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Conway
Post Replacement & Re-Plumbing
This is the service we perform most often in Conway, and for good reason. The lakefront properties along Gatlin Drive, Lake Conway, and Little Lake Conway sit on organic-rich, water-saturated fill soil that destabilizes gate post footings within years of installation. Posts cant 2-4 inches, throwing automated swing gates out of alignment and burning up motors. We replumbed a leaning gate post on a lakefront ranch home off Gatlin Drive, using fast-set concrete to stabilize the footing in the saturated soil, then replaced seized hinges and a rusted Linear control board fried by a summer lightning strike. Carrying a bag of fast-set concrete to re-plumb posts on the spot is standard kit for anyone running calls in this ZIP.
Post replacement in Conway runs $450-$890 depending on depth, soil condition, and whether we’re working around existing automation. Re-plumbing an existing post with concrete stabilization typically falls in the $320-$580 range.
Custom Welding
The 1960s-1980s ranch and split-level homes that dominate Conway’s housing stock were often fitted with ornamental wrought-iron or tubular-steel gates that are now 40-60 years old. Rust scale and failed welds are endemic, especially on lakefront lots where ambient humidity stays elevated year-round. Our mobile welding rigs let us repair cracked frames, rebuild broken scrollwork, and reinforce stress points without removing the gate from your property. We match existing profiles and finishes so the repair disappears into the original fabrication.
Custom welding in Conway starts around $280 for basic frame repairs and ranges to $740 for extensive scrollwork reconstruction or full section replacement.
Hinge Replacement
Seized and rusted hinges are the companion failure to leaning posts in Conway. When a post cants even slightly, hinges bind and gall. The original brass or steel bushings on 1970s gates were never designed for decades of Florida humidity plus misalignment stress. We replace with sealed, greasable hinge sets rated for coastal exposure, then align the gate properly so the new hardware isn’t fighting the same forces that killed the old set.
Hinge replacement on a standard residential gate in Conway runs $180-$340. If the gate frame itself has distorted from years of misalignment, we’ll weld and true it before hanging new hinges - done right, not patched over.
Rail Repair & Gate Rollers
Sliding gates along the busier stretches of Conway Road and Hoffner Avenue take abuse from frequent cycling and occasional vehicle contact. Bent track, flattened rollers, and cracked rail welds are common. We straighten or replace track, install heavy-duty roller sets, and weld rail joints that have cracked under load. For automated sliding systems, we verify motor torque settings after rail repair so the opener isn’t overworking against residual drag.
Rail and roller repairs in Conway typically range from $220-$480.

Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Control boards destroyed by lightning. Conway sits in Central Florida’s “Lightning Alley,” and the afternoon thunderstorms from June through September routinely surge through unprotected gate electronics. We replace fried boards and install proper surge protection, not just the component that failed.
- Posts heaving and leaning on lakefront soil. The water-saturated organic fill around the Conway Chain of Lakes destabilizes footings faster than almost anywhere in Orange County. This isn’t a installation problem - it’s a soil problem, and we address it with deeper footings, concrete stabilization, or helical piers when necessary.
- Rust scale and weld failure on vintage gates. Forty to sixty years of humidity have taken their toll on the original wrought-iron and tubular-steel gates throughout 32812. We grind to clean metal, weld repairs with matching rod, and finish with primer and paint that holds up to Conway’s conditions.
- Misaligned gates burning up motors. When posts lean and hinges bind, the gate opener works harder and hotter until it fails. We fix the structural problem first, then address the motor - otherwise you’re replacing the same opener twice.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Conway
The organic, water-saturated fill soil along Lake Conway, Little Lake Conway, and Lake Gatlin destabilizes concrete footings over time, causing posts to cant 2-4 inches - a condition rare in drier subdivisions just a mile west in Pine Castle. We address this with deeper excavation, fast-set concrete stabilization, or helical piers for severe cases, then realign the gate and automation to the corrected post. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free assessment - estimates are free.
Original hinges on 1970s Conway gates typically last 15-25 years in this humidity, but if your posts have leaned even slightly, hinge life drops to 5-10 years due to binding stress. We inspect hinge condition during every service call and replace with sealed, greasable sets rated for coastal exposure. If your gate is dragging or squealing, the hinges are likely overdue - call (833) 754-7503 for a free estimate.
No brand is immune to a direct Lightning Alley strike, but Linear and DoorKing both offer robust surge-protection accessories and grounded control-board designs that reduce damage from nearby hits. More important than brand choice is proper surge protection installation and grounding - which we include on every new installation and recommend adding to existing systems. Call (833) 754-7503 to discuss protecting your current opener.
Yes - our mobile welding rigs handle most frame repairs, crack sealing, and scrollwork reconstruction in place, without removing the gate from your property. For extensive damage or full section replacement, we may need to drop the gate to a work stand, but we’ll tell you upfront if that’s necessary. Most Conway welding jobs stay on the hinges. Call (833) 754-7503 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Post replacement that does not alter the gate location, height, or automation type typically does not require a permit in unincorporated Orange County, which covers most of 32812. If you’re moving the gate opening, increasing height, or adding new automation where none existed, permitting may apply. We verify requirements before starting work and handle any necessary paperwork as part of the job. Call (833) 754-7503 and we’ll confirm the specifics for your property.
