Why Lakeway Homeowners Choose Ironworks Gate Co.
We have been the company Lakeway homeowners call when the second or third contractor still hasn’t fixed the problem. Our reputation here was built one gate at a time, starting with the older estates along Lakeway Boulevard and spreading into Rough Hollow, The Hills of Lakeway, the newer builds off Lohmans Crossing, and nearby Bee Cave service area. These are not quick-flip houses. They are homes people have owned for twenty, thirty years, and the gate out front is expected to last just as long.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on nine automation brands including Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls. When we say we will be there, we are. When we quote a price, that is the price. And every repair is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - the Keystone Standard - written, no paperwork, no arguing. If it is not right, we come back and make it right.
A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail tree. Not an answering service. A real voice that can dispatch a technician to 78738 today.
Gate Repair Services We Offer in Lakeway
Gate Repair
Sagging gates, broken welds, misaligned tracks, and gates that have taken one too many hits from delivery trucks - we fix them all. In Lakeway, we regularly see swing gates on sloped driveways that have pulled their hinges out of true, especially in Rough Hollow where the grade drops toward Lake Travis.

Gate Installation
New gates for new driveways, or replacement gates where the old one has simply reached its end. We measure the slope, check the HOA requirements, and spec hardware that will track and latch correctly on your specific grade - not a flat-driveway kit from a big-box supplier.

Gate Access Control
Keypads, remotes, loop detectors, and telephone entry systems. Many Lakeway estates still run original our Gate Access Control in Lakeway from the 2000s that has survived freezes but not the February 2021 storm that cracked housings across 78738.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Lakeway
These are the communities we know gate by gate, where we have learned the specific HOA requirements and the common failure points of each development’s original installations.
- Rough Hollow - steep sloped driveways requiring uphill-opening hardware and grade-aware gate specs
- The Hills of Lakeway - dual community entry gates plus individual estate gates with strict architectural review
- Lakeway Highlands - older automated systems, many with original operators now past twenty years
- Serene Hills - mixed custom builds with varying gate ages and automation brands
- Spanish Oaks (nearby, frequent overlap) - estate gates with heavy ornamental iron and long driveways
Typical response time to any of these neighborhoods is same-day or next-day, with emergency calls prioritized.
Why Lakeway’s Climate & Housing Affect Gate Repair
Lakeway sits on Hill Country limestone, and that changes everything about how a gate post is set. The shallow caliche layer under most of 78738 will hold a post for a season or two, but after heavy rain it loosens and the post leans. We have seen gates that were “repaired” three times by contractors who simply poured more standard concrete around the same shallow footing. The correct fix requires drilling into bedrock and setting the post with the right anchoring system for limestone substrate. We do this once, and it stays done.
The February 2021 freeze left its mark here too. Hydraulic operators that were not winterized cracked their housings. Keypad enclosures filled with condensation and shattered. We are still replacing the legacy of that storm in gates across The Hills of Lakeway and along the older streets near Lakeway City Park. And the steep driveways that make Lake Travis views possible also make gate geometry critical - a swing gate hung level on a slope will drag, bind, and eventually tear itself off its hinges. We measure the grade, calculate the hinge offset, and spec uphill-opening hardware where it is needed. A flat-driveway gate on a Lakeway slope is a problem waiting to happen, and we have fixed enough of those mistakes to know how to prevent them.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Lakeway
Most gate repairs in Lakeway fall between $180 and $650, with simple welds at the lower end and full motor replacements or limestone post anchoring at the higher end. The $89 Seasonal Tune-Up catches problems before they become expensive. Call (833) 754-7503 for a free estimate with exact pricing for your gate.
Yes, most Lakeway calls are completed in a single visit because our trucks carry parts for nine major brands including Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls. We stock common failure items - control boards, loop detectors, hinge kits, and welding supplies - so we are not waiting on parts while your gate sits open. Call (833) 754-7503 to check same-day availability.
We do, and we have to. Lakeway’s master-planned communities like Rough Hollow and The Hills of Lakeway require HOA architectural review for finish, hardware style, and often operator brand. We know which covenants apply where, and we document our work to HOA standards so your repair passes inspection without a second trip.
The Hill Country limestone and shallow caliche under 78738 loosens when saturated. A post set with standard concrete in that substrate will shift. The correct repair requires drilling into bedrock and using limestone-appropriate anchoring - a step many contractors skip. We have reset posts across Lakeway that were “fixed” two or three times before we arrived.
For gates under twenty years old with sound iron or steel frames, repair is almost always the better value. We have made 40-year-old gates close like the day they were hung. When the frame itself is cracked through, the automation is obsolete with no parts availability, or the HOA requires a style change, replacement becomes the practical choice. We will tell you straight which path makes sense for your gate - no pressure either way. Call (833) 754-7503 and we will come look.
