If you’re putting up a new gate on a Taylor property, the job starts with the ground, not the gate. Taylor spans two very different worlds: older homes on tight in-town lots near the historic center, and outlying acreage with barns, shops, and fenced pastures. A 4-foot chain-link walk gate and a 12-foot welded steel driveway gate are different projects with different posts, different hardware, and different footing depths. We’re a dedicated gate company, which means installation is all we do. Call (888) 853-0490 for a free estimate.
Why Taylor Homes Are Different
Taylor sits on Central Texas blackland-prairie clay, and that clay is the single biggest factor in how gates behave here. It swells through wet springs and shrinks and cracks through hot, dry summers. Gate posts heave and lean with the seasons, which is why a swing gate that drags in June can clear fine by October. On Taylor’s rural-edge parcels, a gate that suddenly won’t latch after a wet spell is almost always a heaved hinge post, not a bent gate. A technician who knows the area checks post plumb before touching the gate itself.
Sun and UV do the rest. Any gate left fully exposed loses finish and wood steadily, so hardware loosens and weld seams weather faster than owners expect. Housing stock shapes the calls too: a backyard chain-link walk gate in town, a 12- to 16-foot welded steel driveway gate on an acreage parcel, and ag-style tube gates on livestock pens all show up in the same week. There’s no single “Taylor gate.” There’s a range, and it pays to know which one you’re building before the first post goes in.

Our Main Taylor Services
Two jobs come up most often here: fixing gates that have drifted out of line on the clay, and diagnosing the electric operators that run them.
Gate Repair in Taylor
Repair in Taylor usually starts with alignment. The clay moves, the post follows, and the gate hangs wrong – or the latch stops catching. We check the post first, then the gate, then the hinges and hardware, and we tell you plainly whether the fix is a reset post, new hardware, or a replacement gate. Heavy galvanized and welded steel gates take more force to true up than ornamental aluminum, and the technique differs. Our technicians have up to 11 years of experience with gates that live outdoors in Texas sun. For local work, see Gate Repair in Taylor.
Electric Gate Repair in Taylor
Electric gate repair is its own trade, and we treat it that way. Motors, control boards, safety sensors, and access-control wiring all get tested in sequence, because an operator that won’t open is a symptom, not a diagnosis. On Taylor acreage, long wire runs from the house or shop to the gate are a common source of faults, and so is water getting into an enclosure that’s past its seal. We work across residential and commercial systems and don’t hand a control-board problem to a generalist. Details are on Electric Gate Repair in Taylor.
Gate Installation in Taylor
Installing a gate on Taylor ground means planning around expansive blackland clay from the start. A footing that’s right for a subdivision lot in Round Rock or Georgetown can fail on an acreage parcel here, because the soil moves more and the gate is heavier. We size the posts, the footing depth, and the hardware to the gate you’re actually hanging, not to a template. Whether it’s a residential driveway gate or a commercial access system, the measure comes first and the written price follows. If you want the full overview of what we install, see Gate Installation.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re tired of getting out of the truck in the rain, or the property has a gate that’s too heavy or too far from the house to open by hand comfortably.
What it costs in Taylor
A new automatic gate with operator typically runs $4,800 to $9,500 installed, depending on gate size, operator class, and how far the power has to run.
How we do it
We measure the opening and grade, set posts at proper footing depth for the clay, hang the gate, mount the operator, run and protect the power and control wiring, then set the safety sensors and test the full cycle before we leave.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The driveway has no gate, or the existing one is a bent tube gate that’s been chained shut for years because it never worked right.
What it costs in Taylor
A manual driveway gate installed typically runs $2,200 to $5,600, and a 12- to 16-foot welded steel span sits toward the upper end.
How we do it
We lay out the opening against the driveway centerline, dig and set the hinge and latch posts to the right depth for the soil, hang and level the leaf with proper clearance, then check the latch and swing before walking you through it.

Prices here are estimates, not quotes. The written estimate sets the final price, and we agree it with you before any work starts.
Can you install a gate on a rural Taylor acreage parcel?
Yes. We size posts and footing depth for expansive clay and hang gates built for heavy use, including 12- to 16-foot welded steel and ag-style tube gates. We measure on site before pricing.
Do you handle the power run and the safety sensors?
We do. Automatic installations include the operator, protected power and control wiring, and safety sensors set and tested. The written estimate covers the full scope before we start.
Brands We Service in Taylor
We work on your brand, not one manufacturer’s. That covers residential operators like Ghost Controls and heavy commercial systems like DoorKing, plus Viking and Elite, among others. We don’t claim stocked parts; what we bring is familiarity with how each one is built. Most repairs turn around quickly once we’ve diagnosed the fault. See our brands for the full list.

What Taylor Customers Say
"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."
- Ryan Vaughn"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."
- Nathan Thompson"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."
- Rosa Reyes
