Gate Repair in Hollywood, FL
Gate repair in Hollywood, FL typically costs $180-$650 depending on the mechanism and damage, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What makes Hollywood work different is the housing stock: 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival wrought iron, 1960s apartment slide gates cycling hundreds of times daily, and tourist foot traffic from Hollywood Boulevard testing every pedestrian latch. Call (833) 754-7503 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Hollywood Homes Are Different
Hollywood’s residential fabric is a dense mix of 1920s-1940s Spanish Colonial Revival and Craftsman bungalows alongside mid-century apartment buildings, most with original ornamental ironwork that’s been corroding for decades. Santa Ana wind events blast grit and palm debris into east-west running gate tracks, accelerating roller and chain wear. The near-zero rainfall for most of the year lulls owners into skipping maintenance, then winter wetness triggers fast surface rust. Tourist spillover south of Hollywood Boulevard adds tampering damage most neighboring communities never see.
Gate Repair in Hollywood
Gate repair in Hollywood means diagnosing problems shaped by hard water, dry spells, Santa Ana debris, and foot traffic from one of the country’s busiest tourist corridors. We’re trained and equipped on nine major automation brands, so the correct fix happens on the first visit. Typical gate repair in Hollywood runs $180-$650, with most jobs falling between $180 and $340 for hinge, roller, and alignment work.
Electric Gate Repair
Electric gates in Hollywood fail for reasons you won’t find in a manual. LA’s hard tap water leaves mineral deposits that corrode electrical contacts, limit switches, and motor housings. Then a Santa Ana event packs grit into the track, the motor strains, and a board fries. We diagnose the root cause, not just the symptom, and repair with parts rated for this climate. Electric gate repair in Hollywood typically runs $220-$480.
Hinge & Post Repair
The Spanish Colonial Revival and Craftsman homes throughout Hollywood’s residential streets hold original wrought iron that has slowly corroded from decades of neglect and mineral-rich water. Hinge pins seize. Post welds crack. We cut out the damaged section, fabricate a matching replacement, and weld it in place properly. Hinge and post repair in Hollywood typically costs $180-$340. This is the core of our Gate Repair work.
How much does gate repair cost in Hollywood, FL?
Gate repair in Hollywood typically runs $180-$650, depending on whether the issue is a simple hinge adjustment, a motor replacement, or structural welding. Hinge and roller work usually lands between $180-$340, electric repairs between $220-$480, and full operator replacement up to $580. Call (833) 754-7503 for an exact quote, and we settle the price before any work begins.
Gate Installation in Hollywood
Gate installation in Hollywood means matching the gate to the property: a single-family home near West Park needs a very different setup than a 1960s apartment complex off Hollywood Boulevard with shared access. Most residential installations run $2,800-$7,500, and we schedule within a week. We build for your actual daily cycle count, not a brochure spec.
Sliding Gate Installation
Sliding gates dominate Hollywood’s apartment complexes and narrow-lot homes because tight setbacks often can’t provide swing clearance. But Santa Ana winds blast grit and palm debris directly into tracks along east-west streets. We install with sealed bearings, stainless steel rollers, and track covers where exposure is worst. Sliding gate installations for apartments and estates typically range $5,200-$7,500.
Pedestrian Gate Installation
In the tourist-heavy pocket south of Hollywood Boulevard, pedestrian gate hardware faces constant tampering. We install heavy-duty steel latches and weatherproof keypads that resist both corrosion and forced entry. A typical pedestrian gate installation in Hollywood runs $2,800-$4,200, including basic automation. For full details on what we build, see Gate Installation.
Do you include rust prevention in a new gate installation in Hollywood?
Yes. Every steel or wrought iron gate we install in Hollywood receives rust-inhibiting primer on all cut and weld points, plus a maintenance protocol for the owner. Hollywood’s long dry spells disguise early oxidation until winter humidity accelerates it. Call (833) 754-7503 and we’ll walk you through what your specific property needs.
Gate Motor & Opener in Hollywood
Gate motor and opener repair in Hollywood typically runs $180-$450 for most residential calls. The high proportion of multi-unit buildings here means gates often cycle 200-300 times daily instead of the six or ten a single-family home sees. That workload burns out residential-grade operators fast. We size motors to real duty cycles and carry parts for nine brands on every truck.
Motor Repair
Most motor repair calls in Hollywood fall between $180-$340. We see burned-out capacitors, stripped gears, and overloaded boards caused by gates dragging in corroded tracks. Hard water rusts hinges and brackets until the gate sits crooked; the motor works harder and something gives. We fix the alignment first, then the motor, so you’re not paying twice. More detail is on our Gate Motor & Opener page.
Motor Installation
A new gate motor in Hollywood ranges $650-$1,400, including mounting hardware and programming. For apartment buildings off Hollywood Boulevard pushing 300 cycles a day, we spec commercial-duty operators that won’t burn out in eighteen months. Battery backup adds $220-$380 and keeps the gate working through brownouts.
Why does my gate motor keep failing near Hollywood Boulevard?
High daily cycle counts and tourist-corridor tampering are the two main causes. Apartment gates off Hollywood Boulevard often run 200+ cycles daily, wearing chains and gears far faster than single-family motors. Forced-entry damage to keypads and intercom wiring compounds the problem. Call (833) 754-7503 for an inspection, and we’ll tell you whether the motor is the real issue.
Gate Access Control in Hollywood
Gate access control repair and installation in Hollywood typically runs $340-$1,200 for most residential jobs. The tourist spillover south of Hollywood Boulevard creates a specific problem: keypads, intercoms, and latches on residential streets like Lexington Avenue and Harold Way absorb repeated tampering and forced-entry attempts. We stock replacement units and upgrades that eliminate the exposed target.
Video Intercom Systems
For properties near Hollywood Boulevard, video intercom adds a critical layer of verification. You see who’s at the gate before buzzing them in, with smartphone notification and night vision options. Video intercom installation in Hollywood runs $720-$1,200. We spec housings and mounting hardware built to resist the vandalism this pocket sees far more often than properties even half a mile east. See Gate Access Control for the full scope.
Keypad Entry Repair & Replacement
Keypads on apartment gates near Hollywood Boulevard are frequently pried or smashed, shorting out the entry system and locking residents out. Keypad repair or replacement in Hollywood runs $340-$580, and we can often swap a damaged unit the same day. For repeat vandalism, we recommend recessed housings or a video intercom that removes the exposed keypad entirely.
Can I integrate my existing Hollywood gate with my home’s smart system?
Yes, most gates installed in the last 15 years can integrate with smart home platforms without replacing the operator. We add communication modules and compatible keypads that connect to your hub. Integration in Hollywood typically runs $580-$940. Call (833) 754-7503 and we’ll match the setup to your platform.
Gate Parts & Welding in Hollywood
Gate parts and welding work in Hollywood typically runs $180-$650 depending on the component. The original wrought iron on this city’s 1920s-1940s homes was never built for decades of hard water and Santa Ana grit, and the alley-loaded apartment buildings between Santa Monica Boulevard and Melrose take regular hits from delivery trucks. We carry galvanized hinges, weld-ready steel stock, and replacement rollers on every truck.
Hinge Replacement
Hollywood’s original iron gates, especially on Spanish Colonial Revival homes near Whitley Heights, hang on steel hinges corroded by decades of mineral-rich tap water. We replace them with galvanized or stainless hinges rated for this climate. Hinge replacement in Hollywood runs $180-$290 per pair. This is core Gate Parts & Welding territory.
Post Replacement
Alley-access gates between apartment buildings get clipped by trucks that don’t fit the original clearances. Standard replacement posts often won’t work, so we measure, fabricate, and weld custom posts that maintain the gate’s swing geometry. Most post replacements in Hollywood run $340-$580 including concrete work and re-hanging.
Can you repair a sagging historic wrought iron gate in Hollywood without replacing it?
Yes, in most cases. We replace corroded hinges with galvanized units, re-weld cracked rails, and add hidden structural bracing where needed, preserving the original appearance. Hollywood’s 1920s-1940s gates are worth saving, and our welding approach keeps the historic character intact. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free evaluation.

What Hollywood 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."
