Most gate work in Broadview Park starts with a straightforward question: can you fix the gate we already have, or are we looking at a full replacement? The answer, more often than you’d expect, is repair. This 33317 community sits on quarter-acre lots with aging welded steel, aluminum, and chain-link gates, and the combination of salt air, humidity, and afternoon thunderstorms means operators, hinges, and control boards fail faster here than in drier parts of Broward County. Carter Gate Repair has served Broadview Park since 2015, and we work on the gate you have, not the one we’d rather sell you. Call (866) 665-5592 for a straight answer.
Why Broadview Park Homes Are Different
Broadview Park is unincorporated Broward County, wedged between Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood without a city hall of its own. That matters for gate work in a way most homeowners don’t realize until a contractor shows up confused about permits. There’s no municipal gate or fence permitting office here. Work falls under Broward County rules, and a contractor used to city-level permits in Fort Lauderdale or Davie will hit a wall quickly. We know the county process and build that into every estimate.
The housing stock matters just as much. Most homes in Broadview Park date from the 1950s through the 1970s: concrete-block and stucco ranches on generous lots, many with backyard pools, boat or RV pads, and fenced driveways. The gates on these properties are typically older welded steel, aluminum, or chain-link, often installed decades ago and patched together since. Some driveway gates are home-built or hand-me-downs, which means non-standard measurements and hardware that doesn’t match anything on a shelf today. That’s normal here. We expect it.
Then there’s the climate. Subtropical heat, year-round humidity, and heavy summer thunderstorms take a toll that housing age alone doesn’t explain. Lightning strikes and voltage surges fry control boards with surprising frequency. Standing water after a typical afternoon downpour shorts out driveway-track motors and swing-gate operators set low to the ground. And because many Broadview Park lots have canal frontage or drainage-ditch proximity, the sandy soil shifts and settles after heavy rain, throwing swing gates out of plumb and grinding sliding gates off their tracks. A gate that worked fine in March may bind and stall by August.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Broadview Park Services
When Broadview Park homeowners call us, two services come up more than any other: repairing a gate that has stopped opening, and repairing the electrical system that powers it. Here’s what each involves locally.
Gate Repair in Broadview Park
Most Broadview Park gate failures are mechanical before they’re electrical: a hinge that has rusted through, a track that has shifted out of alignment, a wheel that has seized, a post that has leaned after heavy rain. We start by diagnosing the full gate, from the control board to the hinge, because a gate that grinds or sticks is often telling you about a problem two feet away from where the noise is. Salt air accelerates corrosion on the inland-west side of the coast, so we check every hinge, bracket, and bolt, not just the obvious failure. Gate Repair in Broadview Park covers our full mechanical repair process, what we inspect, and what typical fixes cost.
Electric Gate Repair in Broadview Park
Automated gates fail differently in Broadview Park than they do inland. Lightning strikes during summer thunderstorms are a real, documented cause of burned control boards, and the humidity keeps connectors and low-voltage wiring in a near-constant state of corrosion. Keypads, photo-eye sensors, loop detectors, and safety edges all take a beating. We carry replacement boards and components for FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking systems, among others, so the fix is usually same-visit rather than a week of waiting on parts. Electric Gate Repair in Broadview Park walks through common failure modes, board replacement, and what to check before you call.

Gate Installation in Broadview Park
When a Broadview Park homeowner calls about Gate Installation, it’s almost never a simple swap. The existing gate is likely decades old, mounted on posts that have shifted in sandy, low-lying soil, with an operator that was never sized for the job. A proper installation here means starting with the posts and the ground they sit in, then building the gate system up from there. Because so many Broadview Park properties have widened driveway gates for boat or RV access, we also see clearance and track-grade issues that a standard residential install wouldn’t face. The salt air and storm surge of a subtropical climate mean the materials you choose, and how we set them, determine whether the gate lasts five years or twenty.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The biggest sign is a gate you have to get out of the car to open, usually after years of telling yourself you’ll automate it someday, especially on Broadview Park lots where the driveway is long and the afternoon storms are frequent.
What it costs in Broadview Park
Automatic gate installation in Broadview Park typically runs $2,800 to $12,500 depending on gate size, operator type, and whether we’re running new power from the house.
How we do it
We set and square the posts, hang the gate, mount the operator, run the low-voltage wiring and conduit, install safety edges and photo eyes, program remotes and keypads, and test the full cycle under load.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You need a new driveway gate when the existing one no longer closes square, the posts have heaved out of plumb, or the gate is too narrow for your boat trailer or RV, a common issue on Broadview Park’s fenced driveways.
What it costs in Broadview Park
Driveway gate installation in Broadview Park ranges from $1,800 for a basic single swing gate to $9,500 for a wider, automated double gate with full access control.
How we do it
We measure the driveway opening and grade, dig and set posts below the local settlement depth, hang and adjust the gate, and install the operator and safety system if you want it automated.
What Gate Installation Costs in Broadview Park
| Item | Typical range in Broadview Park |
|---|---|
| Basic single swing gate (manual) | $1,800 – $3,500 |
| Automatic gate operator + install | $2,800 – $6,500 |
| Full driveway gate system (automated, double) | $7,500 – $12,500 |
Do you handle the power run and the safety edges?
Yes. We run the low-voltage power from your panel or an existing outdoor circuit, and every automatic gate we install in Broadview Park includes photo-eye sensors and safety-edge strips as standard. Call (866) 665-5592 for a free measure.
How long does a Broadview Park gate installation take?
Most residential installations take one to two days on site, depending on whether we’re pulling new power, pouring new post footings, or working around an existing fence. We confirm the schedule and the full price before any work starts.

We’re certified working across nine gate-system brands, including FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking, and we stock the most common replacement boards, remotes, and safety components locally so we’re not waiting on a distributor when your gate is down.

What pushes a Broadview Park quote up is usually the ground: sandy, low-lying lots that have settled mean deeper post footings and more leveling work than a firm-soil install. What pushes it down is honesty: we quote the full price before any work starts, and that number doesn’t move unless you add scope.

What Broadview Park Customers Say
"Gate works properly now and the price was fair. The one thing is that it took two visits, because the operator model we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They didn't charge for the second trip."
— Sofia Reyes"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one with him, and we were moving cars again in under an hour."
— Christine Tran"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
— Tracy Lawson
