Gate installation in Hollywood means working with a specific mix of salt air, older concrete-block homes, and retrofitted driveway and pool-deck openings that rarely match today’s standard post spacing. We install automatic and manual gates on 1950s-era Hollywood Lakes houses, barrier-island condos, and everything between, and we’ve learned to plan for corrosion before the first bolt goes in. Carter Gate Repair has served Hollywood since 2015, and we work on the gate you have or build the one that fits your property. Call (866) 665-5592 for a free measure and written price.
Why Hollywood Homes Are Different
Hollywood’s gate work is shaped by water. Properties along the Intracoastal, on the barrier island, and through the finger-isle neighborhoods get constant salt-laden onshore breezes that eat through standard hardware fast. Wrought-iron gates near Hollywood Beach or the Intracoastal often need hinge and operator service on a much shorter cycle than the same gate three miles west near Davie Road, and post-hurricane season is when we see clusters of seized, salt-welded hardware and water-intruded operators surface all at once.
Then there’s the housing stock. Much of Hollywood is 1950s-to-1970s concrete-block single-family homes with low-rise multifamily mixed in, plus a substantial condo stock east of A1A. Many driveway, pool, and courtyard gates were retrofitted decades after the house was built, on posts that were poured for a different gate or no gate at all. That means non-standard post sizes, corroded mounting hardware, and operators that were added later with wiring run through conduit that’s now brittle from sun and salt. Our installers spend as much time correcting old mounting conditions as they do hanging new steel, because a new gate on a weak post is a callback waiting to happen in South Florida wind.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Hollywood Services
Most Hollywood calls fall into two buckets: a gate that stopped moving, and an electric system that’s acting erratically. Here’s how each plays out locally.
Gate Repair in Hollywood
Gate repair in Hollywood runs heavily toward corrosion-related failures. Rusted hinges, seized rollers, salt-fouled operators, and posts that have shifted in sandy soil are common jobs in Hollywood Lakes, Emerald Hills, and along the Intracoastal. We straighten or reinforce what’s still sound, replace what isn’t, and don’t push a full replacement when a hinge rebuild and fresh hardware will do the job. Read more about our Gate Repair in Hollywood work, including pricing and response times.
Electric Gate Repair in Hollywood
Electric gate repair in Hollywood is its own trade, especially near the water where salt corrosion reaches control boards, loop detectors, and safety-edge wiring faster than inland. We diagnose low-voltage problems at the board level, replace burned contacts, reset and rewire photo eyes, and tune operators so the gate doesn’t slam or stall. If your gate opens halfway and stops, or beeps but doesn’t move, the problem is almost always in the control circuit rather than the gate itself. Our Electric Gate Repair in Hollywood page covers costs and what to check before calling.

Gate Installation in Hollywood
Gate installation in Hollywood solves a specific problem: most existing posts and openings weren’t built for the gate you actually want, and the coastal climate punishes generic hardware fast. From the control board to the hinge, we plan each install around wind load, salt exposure, and the reality of 60-year-old concrete. Whether it’s a new automatic driveway gate in Emerald Hills or a sliding gate on a commercial lot off State Road 7, we measure, quote a fixed price, and install with hardware rated for South Florida. Our full Gate Installation service covers residential and light-commercial jobs.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re opening and closing the gate by hand, or the post and hinges are sound but the operator was never sized right for the gate’s weight and wind exposure.
What it costs in Hollywood
Automatic gate installation in Hollywood typically runs $3,000 to $9,000 depending on operator type, gate size, and whether new conduit and power have to be run to the post.
How we do it
We pull and protect the power run, set or reinforce posts, mount the operator arm or slide motor, wire the control board and safety edges, then cycle-test the gate under load and set the force limits.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway opening is unsecured, or the existing gate sags, scrapes the pavement, or can’t support an operator because the post base has rotted in salty soil.
What it costs in Hollywood
Driveway gate installation in Hollywood generally falls between $2,500 and $7,500, with single swing gates on the low end and heavier slide or double-swing setups higher.
How we do it
We check set-backs and wind-exposure, pour or reinforce post footings with corrosion-resistant anchors, hang and level the gate, then install and calibrate the operator if the job includes automation.
What Gate Installation Costs in Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Manual driveway gate, single swing | $1,500 – $4,000 |
| Automatic gate system, full install | $3,000 – $9,000 |
| Sliding gate, light-commercial | $4,000 – $12,000 |
Do I need a permit to install a gate in Hollywood?
Some Hollywood gate installations need a permit, especially anything with a new electrical run or a post footing near a right-of-way. We check city requirements as part of the quote and can tell you before any work starts whether a permit is required for your specific property.
How long does a gate installation take in Hollywood?
Most residential installs take one to two days once materials are on site, but custom gates or heavy commercial slide systems can run longer. We give you a written timeline with the quote, and we don’t start until you’ve approved both price and schedule. Call (866) 665-5592 for a free measure.
Brands We Service in Hollywood
We work on the gate you have, which is why our Hollywood trucks carry parts for Elite, Mighty Mule, LiftMaster, and FAAC operators along with common boards and safety edges. That local stock cuts most repair turnarounds to a single visit. See our brands for the full range we service.

Prices in Hollywood push higher when we’re working within a block of the Intracoastal or beach, where salt corrosion means extra hardware replacement and more prep on the posts and wiring. Every job is quoted upfront and agreed before we start, so the number we give you over the phone is the number you approve, not a starting point.

FAQs About Gate Company in Hollywood
We schedule repairs throughout Hollywood daily, and most calls get a same-visit or next-day appointment because we already have techs routed in the area.

Many Hollywood communities, especially condos and gated neighborhoods, require HOA or association approval for gate changes, colors, or new operators. We can provide spec sheets and drawings for your application, but the approval itself comes from your association, so check their rules before scheduling an install.
Yes. We work on single-family driveway gates, condo and small multifamily entry gates, and light-commercial gates on lots and business properties throughout Hollywood.

What Hollywood Customers Say
"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."
— Javier Delgado"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
