We install, repair, and automate driveway gates across Davie, FL, and the work here looks different than it does ten miles east. Most Davie properties sit on oversized lots with custom gates, not builder-standard ones, and the sandy, high-water-table soil plus hurricane season means posts shift and gates sag faster than homeowners expect. Carter Gate Repair has served Davie since 2015, working on everything from manual farm gates off rural roads to modern automated entry systems in newer gated townhome communities. Call (866) 665-5592 when your gate stops doing what it should.
Why Davie Homes Are Different
Davie is not Fort Lauderdale. The housing stock runs from 1970s and 80s single-family homes on oversized lots to small equestrian parcels, newer gated townhome communities, and the occasional estate property with a custom entry gate. Many of those older properties still have manual swing gates that were installed decades ago, often by the original owner. The same farm gate that worked fine for twenty years eventually develops hinge wear, post lean, or a gate leaf that drags in the dirt after a few wet summers.
Soil is the quiet culprit here. On Davie’s rural and equestrian properties, gate posts are frequently set in sandy soil with a high water table. That ground shifts. It settles. A perfectly aligned gate in March can sag and scrape by August, especially after the afternoon thunderstorms we get through the wet season. South Florida humidity and salt-laden air also corrode hinges, operators, and control boards faster than inland climates do. And when a named storm pushes through, wind loads bend swing gates and topple slide gates that were never rated for that kind of force. Repair demand in Davie spikes after storms, and every year we see the same pattern: posts that heaved, hinges that seized, and operators that took on water.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Davie Services
Two services dominate the calls we get from Davie homeowners and property managers: gate repair and electric gate repair. Here’s what each one looks like in this town.
Gate Repair in Davie
Most of the gate repair work we do in Davie involves swing and slide gate hardware that has been beaten up by the climate and the soil. Hinges seize from rust. Gate wheels flatten or snap on slide gates that have dragged through sandy runoff for years. Posts lean because the ground under them gave way. We straighten, re-set, weld, and replace hardware without selling you a new gate when the old one still has life in it. On Davie’s equestrian properties, that often means repairing a manual farm gate and then retrofitting it with an opener, so the hardware and the automation work together. We work on the gate you have, not the one we’d prefer to sell you. Gate Repair in Davie covers the full scope, from hinge replacement to post resetting.
Electric Gate Repair in Davie
Electric gate repair in Davie usually starts with a gate that opens halfway, makes a grinding noise, or stops responding to the remote entirely. Humidity corrodes control boards and terminal connections. Lightning from summer storms fries loop detectors and power supplies. Ants, common on sandy lots, love to nest inside operator housings and short out the boards. We trace the problem from the control board to the hinge: low-voltage wiring, safety edges, photo eyes, loop detectors, and the operator itself. We carry parts for LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear on the truck, which means most Davie repairs finish in one visit. Electric Gate Repair in Davie covers diagnostics and repair for all nine brands our techs know cold.

Gate Installation in Davie
Gate installation in Davie is a different job than it is in a dense coastal city. The lots are bigger, the gates are often custom, and the soil rarely cooperates. You need posts set deep enough to resist sandy, shifting ground, hardware sized for a gate that will see wind load during hurricane season, and an operator matched to the weight and swing of a gate that may be fifty or a hundred feet from the house. Whatever you install has to survive humidity, salt air, and the occasional tropical storm, not just look good on day one. When we install a gate in Davie, we build for the conditions that already exist here. This is the full-service end of what our team does, and you can see the entire scope on our Gate Installation page.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re getting out of the car in the rain to open and close a manual gate, or you already have an operator that is dead and not worth reviving.
What it costs in Davie
Automatic gate installation in Davie typically runs $3,800 to $8,200 depending on gate size, operator brand, and whether new conduit and wiring need to be trenched.
How we do it
We spec the operator to the gate’s weight and cycle frequency, set or reinforce the posts, mount the operator and arms, run the low-voltage wiring, install safety edges and photo eyes, then program and test every function.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway has no gate at all and you want security, privacy, or animal containment on a lot where the setback and terrain allow a new swing or slide gate.
What it costs in Davie
A new driveway gate installation in Davie usually falls between $3,800 and $8,200 including the gate, posts, hardware, operator, and basic electrical run.
How we do it
We measure the driveway opening, check the soil and slope, build or source the gate, set posts on deep concrete footings, hang and align the gate, install and program the operator, and walk you through remote programming.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway slopes upward or inward and there is not enough clearance for a swing gate, or you want a cantilever slide gate to avoid a ground track that sand and debris will clog.
What it costs in Davie
Sliding gate installation in Davie ranges from $4,200 to $8,200 depending on gate length, cantilever versus track design, and the operator specified for the weight.
How we do it
We pull a grade reading, build or source the slide gate, pour the track or cantilever foundation, set the gate, install the operator and rack, then dial in the limit switches and safety devices.

Do I need a permit to install a gate in Davie?
Most driveway gate installations in Davie require a permit when the gate is automated or when posts are set in concrete, and your contractor should pull it. We handle the permit application as part of the installation. Requirements vary by lot and setback, so the permit gets confirmed during the site measure.
How long does a gate installation take in Davie?
Most standard residential gate installations in Davie take one to two days once the gate and operator arrive. Custom gate fabrication adds lead time, typically one to three weeks. We confirm the schedule and the price before any work starts. Call (866) 665-5592 for a free measure and written quote.
Brands We Service in Davie
Our techs work on LiftMaster, FAAC, Elite, and Mighty Mule operators every month in Davie, and we keep the most common parts for those brands stocked on the truck. That means a control board, safety edge, or remote receiver is often replaced same-visit instead of waiting on a parts shipment. See our brands for the full list.

Most Davie addresses are within 25 to 40 minutes of our Hollywood shop, and we run calls into the 33314 ZIP throughout the week.

Replacing an existing operator, control board, or safety edge does not require a permit in Davie. Installing a new automated gate usually does, because it involves structural posts and electrical work. We pull the permit as part of any new installation, and the cost is included in the written quote.
We work on the gate you already have, whatever brand it is. Most Davie calls are repairs to existing swing and slide gates, including older manual farm gates that need hardware work or a retrofit operator. We do not push replacement when the existing gate can be fixed, and we will tell you plainly when repair is not worth the money.
If your gate is sagging, stuck, or dead in Davie, call (866) 665-5592 for a free estimate. We will quote the price before any work begins, and we will fix what needs fixing without replacing what does not.

What Davie Customers Say
"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
— Elena Herrera"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and the office didn't call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
— Lisa Anderson"Photo eye was misaligned so the gate refused to close after dark. Ten minute fix. He also cleaned the lens and pointed out that the sprinkler head was spraying it every morning, which is why it kept happening."
— Brooke Miller
