Gate installation in Tice usually starts with a conversation about the right gate for a property that has to survive subtropical heat, hurricane-season wind, and sandy soil. Most homes here are older mid-century concrete block with chain-link or aluminum fencing already set to the property line, so our work in the 33916 ZIP is far more about retrofitting and repairing what exists than about building new luxury entrances. We diagnose the whole system, not just the visible symptoms, because a sagging gate in Tice is usually a post settling into sand, not a hinge giving up.

Why Tice Homes Are Different
Tice sits in unincorporated Lee County east of Fort Myers, and the housing stock tells the story. You’ll find concrete block homes from the 1950s through the 1990s, many on small lots where the fence and gate hug the property line and the driveway opens straight onto Palm Beach Boulevard or one of the side streets. These are not HOA-managed communities with uniform aluminum estate gates. They’re older manual swing gates, chain-link drive gates on pipe posts, and scattered small commercial gates on agricultural-adjacent parcels.
The soil is the biggest factor. Tice sits on sandy, well-drained ground that shifts with the rainy season. Afternoon downpours in summer saturate the top layer and wash fine material out from under posts, so gate posts slowly lean. We see the same pattern over and over: a gate that closed fine in March drags across the driveway by August. Add the intense Gulf Coast sun oxidizing paint and powder coating, plus salt-tinged humidity eating at steel hardware, and Tice gate work becomes a cycle of realigning posts, replacing corroded hinges, and rebuilding latch points. The wind exposure during Atlantic hurricane season also means gates take lateral load they weren’t originally rated for. Repair here is a different job than it is ten miles inland.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Tice Services
These are the two calls we get most often from Tice homeowners and small commercial property owners. Both live on their own dedicated pages because each deserves more detail than a summary can hold.
Gate Repair in Tice
When a Tice gate stops latching or starts dragging, the cause is usually a combination of sandy soil settlement and rusted hardware. We repair the mechanical side of the gate, from hinges and post realignment to latch rebuilds and track repair, and we do it with hardware sized for Lee County conditions. On older Tice properties, we regularly find the original post anchors were never deep enough for this soil, so we pull, reset, and brace rather than just tightening a bolt that will loosen again. See Gate Repair in Tice for the full breakdown of what we fix and what it costs.
Electric Gate Repair in Tice
Electric gates in Tice fail differently from manual ones. Humidity gets into control boards, ants build nests inside operator housings, and power surges from afternoon storms knock out limit switches. We carry diagnostic experience across nine major operator brands, which means we can troubleshoot a BFT or Linear unit on the spot without ordering wait-and-see parts. Whether it’s a motor that hums but won’t move or a keypad that stopped responding, we trace the fault through the system and fix the actual cause. Read Electric Gate Repair in Tice for the full service detail and pricing.

Gate Installation in Tice
Gate installation in Tice is rarely a simple swap. Most properties here need a new gate built around an existing fence line, on ground that has already proven it moves, and sized for a driveway that was laid decades ago. That means we measure for settlement allowance, select hardware-rated for wind load, and set posts deeper than the original installer did. You get a gate that swings or slides cleanly through Tice’s wet-dry soil cycle instead of one that works for a season and starts dragging. Our full-service gate capability means one crew handles the structure, the hardware, and the operator, so you don’t string together a fence company, an electrician, and a gate tech. You can read more about the complete Gate Installation service to see how we handle residential and light commercial projects.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re tired of getting out of the truck to open a manual gate every day, or your property needs a controlled entry point because deliveries and visitors keep pulling in unannounced.
What it costs in Tice
Automatic gate installations in Tice typically run from $3,500 to $12,000 depending on gate size, operator type, and whether we’re adding access controls like keypads or vehicle sensors.
How we do it
We survey the driveway width and soil condition, set the gate posts and operator mounting pad, install the gate leaf, mount and wire the operator, program the travel limits and safety edges, and test the full cycle repeatedly while you watch.
Gate Installation Services
Signs you need it
Your existing gate is so rusted, bent, or undersized that patching it again won’t buy more than a season, and you want a clean, properly hung replacement matched to your fence line.
What it costs in Tice
A standard single swing gate install on an existing fence line in Tice ranges from $1,500 to $4,500, while larger double gates or custom builds run $5,000 to $9,500 depending on materials and hardware.
How we do it
We remove the old gate and hardware, inspect the existing posts for soundness, set new posts if needed, hang the new gate on adjustable hinges rated for the leaf weight, and align the latch and stop for a clean close.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You have a driveway that opens directly to a busy Tice road, and you want a gate that adds privacy, keeps loose dogs or kids in the yard, and defines your property entrance.
What it costs in Tice
Driveway gate installation in Tice starts around $2,500 for a basic single-leaf manual gate and climbs to $9,000 or more for a double-leaf automatic setup with an operator and access controls.
How we do it
We measure the driveway width and set gate posts on poured concrete footings, hang the leaf or leaves with proper clearance for the crown in the driveway, and install the latch, stops, and any operator you’ve chosen.

What Tice 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."
— Maria Martinez"Hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
— Brooke Parker"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
— Tariq Saleh
