We’ve been repairing gates in coastal Massachusetts for over 42 years, and Cohasset’s conditions are unlike anywhere inland. The salt-laden air rolling off Massachusetts Bay corrodes hinges, latches, and motorized operators at a rate that surprises homeowners who moved here from just twenty miles west. Combine that with freeze-thaw cycles that shift granite pillar posts out of plumb every winter, and you’ve got a recipe for binding gates, seized hardware, and misaligned automation that demands a repair crew who knows this specific coastline.

Our Gate Repair team carries stainless steel hardware, marine-grade rust inhibitors, and the welding equipment to fabricate parts for gates that haven’t been catalog items since the 1950s. We don’t send handymen. We send gate specialists who understand wrought iron, granite posts, and the shallow granite ledge that runs beneath much of this town.

Our Gate Repair Services in Cohasset

Hinge Repair

Gate hinges in Cohasset fail faster than almost anywhere we work. The salt air from Massachusetts Bay attacks steel hinges and latches within a few seasons, producing surface rust, pitting, and seized pins that no amount of WD-40 will free. We replace corroded steel hinges with stainless steel heavy-duty hinges rated for coastal exposure, and we apply marine-grade rust inhibitor to surrounding hardware. A typical hinge repair or replacement in Cohasset runs $180-$340 for a standard pair on a pedestrian or driveway gate. Custom ornamental iron with integrated hinge assemblies runs higher, but we quote upfront before turning a bolt.

Post Repair

Cohasset’s signature granite pillar posts shift out of plumb every winter as ground frost penetrates beneath footings and expands during freeze-thaw cycles. By March, we’re fielding calls from homeowners whose gates drag, bind, or won’t latch because the posts have tilted. Here’s where Cohasset gets complicated: much of this town sits on shallow granite ledge that appears within 12-18 inches of the surface. Standard concrete footings aren’t always possible. Our crew probes for ledge before quoting any post-reset job, and we come prepared with core-drilling equipment or surface-mount anchor plates when needed. Post repair or realignment in Cohasset typically costs $280-$520, with ledge-work installations at the higher end.

Weld Repair

Cohasset’s housing stock - large historic Colonials, Victorians, and New England shingle-style estates, many dating to the late 1800s - features custom-fabricated wrought iron and ornamental steel gates that were never standard sizes. When a weld cracks or a scrollwork element breaks, you can’t order a replacement from a catalog. Our welders fabricate repairs on-site, matching existing profiles and finishes. We recently repaired a custom wrought-iron gate on a waterfront estate on Jerusalem Road, where the salt air had seized the hinges on the granite pillar posts. Our crew replaced the corroded steel hinges with stainless steel heavy-duty hinges, applied a marine-grade rust inhibitor, and realigned the gate after the winter freeze had shifted one pillar by nearly two inches. Weld repairs in Cohasset start around $220 for straightforward cracks and run to $650+ for extensive ornamental restoration.

Gate Realignment

Misalignment is the most common spring service call we get in Cohasset. The combination of salt-laden air from Massachusetts Bay and frequent freeze-thaw cycles accelerates gate hardware corrosion and shifts gate pillars out of plumb each winter, leading to a predictable spike in misalignment service calls every spring. A gate that closed smoothly in October drags and binds by April. Realignment involves resetting posts to plumb, adjusting hinge placement, and often replacing worn rollers or guides. In Cohasset, we also inspect for hidden corrosion that will cause the same problem next season. Realignment service typically runs $240-$420.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cohasset

We are trained and equipped on nine gate-automation brands - LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule - so the correct fix is made on the first visit, whatever is on your driveway. For Cohasset’s automated estate gates, we most commonly service Linear, Viking, and DoorKing operators, and we stock critical parts locally to avoid delays. A gate opener that fails after a nor’easter doesn’t wait for a parts order from California. Our trucks carry replacement circuit boards, limit switches, and gear assemblies for the brands we see on the South Shore. That means one visit, not two or three.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Cohasset Homes

• Hinges seized by salt corrosion. Massachusetts Bay’s salt air causes accelerated oxidation of gate hinges and latches, often producing surface rust and seized mechanisms within just a few seasons of deferred maintenance. Stainless steel replacement hardware is the only lasting fix.
• Granite pillar posts shifted by frost. Cohasset’s freeze-thaw cycles - with ground frost penetrating beneath post footings - routinely shift gate pillars out of plumb over winter. We see this every spring, especially on older properties near the harbor.
• Gate opener failure after coastal storms. Nor’easters drive moisture into operator housings, corrode circuit boards, and damage limit switches. We diagnose the specific component failure and replace with parts rated for coastal exposure where possible.
• Weld cracks in century-old ornamental iron. Cohasset’s historic estates feature custom wrought-iron gates with decades of fatigue stress. We weld repairs on-site, preserving original fabrication rather than replacing with modern equivalents that don’t match the home’s character.
