AfterHow Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Hollywood?
Gate parts and welding in Hollywood, FL typically run $95 to $1,400 in 2026, with most single repairs landing between $150 and $450. Welding repairs (a broken hinge, a cracked post, a sagging frame) usually cost $150 to $600 depending on how much metal has to be cut and re-welded, while replacement parts like rollers, latches, control boards, and operator components range from about $60 for a latch to $700+ for a commercial control board plus install. If you’re calling us, the estimate is free, so you’ll know the number before anyone touches a wrench.
Gate Parts & Welding Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s what Hollywood property owners actually pay for the parts and welding work we see most often. Ranges below reflect residential and light-commercial gates across the city, from the older homes off Hollywood Boulevard to the HOA and condo communities out toward Pembroke Road.
| Job | Typical Price Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hinge repair or re-weld | $150 – $350 | Single hinge, cut and re-welded on-site |
| Post / frame weld repair | $250 – $600 | Sagging or rusted post; often needs metal reinforcement |
| Gate roller replacement (set) | $90 – $220 | Sliding gates; nylon vs. steel rollers |
| Latch / lock replacement | $60 – $180 | Mechanical latches to keyed access locks |
| Operator control board replacement | $275 – $700 | LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, DoorKing, and others |
| Loop detector / safety edge sensor | $200 – $450 | Access-control components for automated gates |
| Arm / actuator replacement | $300 – $850 | Swing-gate operators; brand and travel length drive price |
| Full gate re-weld (panel) | $500 – $1,400 | Heavy damage or a gate that’s pulled away from its frame |
What pushes a job toward the top of these ranges? Heavy corrosion is the big one. Salt air off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal works its way into welds and hinge plates fast, and a gate that’s been fighting rust for a decade takes more grinding, prep, and paint than a clean one. Access matters too. A small residential gate on an open driveway is quick work. A commercial sliding gate behind a guardhouse, with the operator boxed in tight, adds labor time on setup and teardown. Parts brand is the third lever: a Mighty Mule arm and a DoorKing control board sit at very different price points, and we’ll tell you which side of the line your model falls on.

What Affects Gate Parts & Welding Pricing in Hollywood
Hollywood isn’t a generic market, and the prices here reflect it. A gate in the Lakes area near the beach and a gate out by the Turnpike face different conditions even though they’re the same city. Here’s what moves the number up or down:
- Salt-air corrosion. Coastal humidity speeds up rust on welds, hinges, and frames. Gates east of Federal Highway often need more prep and protective coating than inland gates, and that shows up as extra labor. We regularly see hinge plates eaten through on beachside properties that are only a few years old.
- Operator brand and age. We work on nine gate-system brands – LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule – and parts pricing varies a lot between them. DoorKing commercial boards cost more than a residential Linear board. An older operator with a discontinued board sometimes means a retrofit, not a straight swap.
- Gate material and weight. Wrought iron, aluminum, and steel weld differently. A heavy ornamental iron panel takes more heat and time than a light aluminum one. Re-welding a 12-foot iron swing gate is not the same job as patching a small aluminum driveway gate.
- Residential vs. commercial cycle count. A homeowner’s gate opens maybe 20 times a day. A condo or warehouse gate near downtown Hollywood might cycle 300 times a day, which wears out rollers, arms, and boards faster and means heavier-duty parts.
- Access and permitting. Tight lots, HOA rules on paint color and weld appearance, and Florida’s wind-load codes on new posts or frames all add to the scope. If a post has to be reset to code, that’s a bigger weld job than a simple repair.
- Emergency timing. A gate that’s stuck open on a commercial property is a security problem, and after-hours calls carry a premium. We’ll be upfront about timing when you call.
One pattern worth naming: in Hollywood we see a lot of spring and hinge failures in late spring and early summer, right as the rainy season starts. The daily afternoon storms plus the humidity do a number on exposed metal that’s already been sweating salt all winter. A gate that’s been “fine for years” often picks the wettest week to seize up.
How to Save on Gate Parts & Welding
Most of the money on a gate repair is in labor and parts choice, and there are real ways to keep it down without cutting corners.
- Catch hinge and weld wear early. A hinge that’s starting to squeal or a post with a hairline crack is a $150 job. Let it go and you’re looking at a $600+ frame repair. Walk your gate once a season and look for rust trails, sagging, and grinding.
- Wash off the salt. A quick rinse of the gate and hinge area every couple of weeks during the dry months slows corrosion and stretches the life of the welds. It’s the cheapest maintenance there is.
- Ask about repair vs. replace. A lot of gates we see get quoted for full replacement can be re-welded and re-fitted for far less. That’s the whole reason we work on the gate you already have instead of steering you toward a new one.
- Get a free estimate before authorizing work. We’ll lay out the parts cost, the labor, and whether a repair makes sense versus a replacement. Call (866) 665-5592 and we’ll give you the number up front, no pressure.
- Bundle small fixes. If you’ve got a squeaky roller, a loose latch, and a hinge that needs a touch-up, do them in one visit. One trip to your property beats three, and the labor adds up less.
If the repair is part of a bigger issue with the operator or access control, our team handles the full range of gate services from the control board to the hinge, so you’re not piecing together three different vendors.
FAQs – Gate Parts & Welding Cost
How much does gate welding cost in Hollywood, FL?
Gate welding in Hollywood usually runs $150 to $600, with a single hinge or small weld repair at the low end and a full frame or post re-weld toward $600 or more. Heavy corrosion on coastal gates can push it higher because of the extra prep and coating. Call (866) 665-5592 for an exact quote, and the estimate is free.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a gate in Hollywood?
Repair is almost always cheaper when the frame and posts are sound – typically $150 to $600 versus $2,000+ for a full replacement. Replacement only makes sense when the metal itself has failed across the gate or the operator can’t be matched to a board anymore. We’ll tell you honestly which side you’re on, and we don’t push replacement you don’t need.
How much does a new gate operator control board cost?
A replacement control board runs about $275 to $700 installed, depending on the brand. Residential Linear, Elite, and Ghost Controls boards sit near the lower end; DoorKing commercial boards are toward the top. Call (866) 665-5592 with your operator model and we’ll confirm the part and price.
Can you come out today for a gate repair in Hollywood?
We do our best to get out quickly, and we’ll give you a straight answer on timing when you call. Same-day and emergency availability depends on the day and the job, so the fastest way to know is to reach us at (866) 665-5592. Estimates are always free.
Do you work on all gate brands, or just some?
We work on nine gate-system brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. That covers residential entry gates through high-cycle commercial operators, so you’re not stuck calling a dealer-only shop that pushes one brand. If your model isn’t on the list, call (866) 665-5592 and we’ll tell you straight.
Why the Number Varies – and Why It’s Worth Getting a Specialist
A general handyman can tack a hinge back on. What he can’t usually do is trace an intermittent operator fault to a failing loop detector, match a control board to a discontinued DoorKing, or re-weld a post without throwing the gate out of square and burning out the arm a month later. That gap is where the real cost hides. We’re gate specialists, not a garage-door company that handles gates on the side, and every job we run lives inside the gate category – repair, electric gate repair, and installation. We’ve worked on the widest spread of residential and light-commercial gate brands in the business, which means when your operator’s acting up, we’ve probably seen that exact failure mode before.
So the price range on this page is a starting point, not a blind guess. A $150 hinge weld and a $1,400 panel re-weld both solve a problem, and the difference between them comes down to how far the damage has gone. The honest answer is to have someone who knows gates look at it, give you a real number, and let you decide.

— Erin Schaefer"Fixed the immediate problem. He was honest that the operator is near end of life and I should budget for a replacement, which I appreciate even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear."
— Jodi Fletcher"Solar panel on our remote gate wasn't keeping the battery up through the winter. He repositioned it, replaced the battery, and explained the math on why the old placement was never going to work."
