Gate installation in Hollywood means dealing with two very different properties: 1950s waterfront estates where salt air has eaten through old steel tracks, and west-side gated communities where builder-grade operators fail under daily HOA traffic. Miami Gardens Gate Repair has served Hollywood since 2012, and our technicians know exactly what each side of town throws at a gate. If your swing gate drags after a heavy rain or your sliding gate quit after a power flicker, call us at (855) 382-0732 and we’ll tell you what it needs, not what we’d like to sell you.
Why Hollywood Homes Are Different
Hollywood’s gate problems divide along geography. The canal-front and Intracoastal properties in the east, especially around Hollywood Lakes and the beach blocks, sit on sand and muck footings that shift as the water table rises and falls through the year. A gate aligned perfectly in January will often drag or bind by June, and the salt-laden breeze corrodes operators, hinges, and track rollers at a rate inland technicians never see. The western subdivisions, from Emerald Hills out toward 33024, are dominated by 1980s-to-2000s gated communities where HOA-controlled entry systems cycle dozens of times a day. Those gates wear out from sheer repetition, not weather: motor brushes, limit switches, and loop detectors give out on a predictable schedule. Add in hurricane-season power interruptions and wind-driven debris, and the most common call we get in Hollywood is a gate stuck open after a storm, with a dead operator and a control board that needs a hard reset or replacement.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Hollywood Services
Most Hollywood homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a gate that won’t move at all, which is a mechanical repair problem, or a gate that moves erratically, which is an electrical and automation problem. Here’s what each involves in Hollywood specifically.
Gate Repair in Hollywood
Mechanical gate failure in Hollywood tends to follow the salt line. East of US-1, we replace rusted hinge pins, corroded slide rollers, and bent track sections on a weekly basis. West of I-95, the calls are more often about sagging gates, stripped gears, and hardware that simply wore out after years of daily cycling. We work on the frame, the hinges, the track, the wheels, and the physical gate structure itself. From a bent hinge to a failed operator mount, gates are all we do. Full details are on our Gate Repair in Hollywood page.
Electric Gate Repair in Hollywood
When a Hollywood gate opens halfway, reverses for no reason, or ignores the remote entirely, the mechanical side is usually fine and the electrical side is the problem. That means the operator, the control board, the loop detector, the photo eyes, or the access keypad. Hurricanes and afternoon thunderstorms knock out power regularly here, and many operators never recover cleanly. We diagnose the system, not just the symptoms. If your LiftMaster won’t close or your FAAC is running slow, we know where to start. See our Electric Gate Repair in Hollywood page for the full breakdown.

Gate Installation in Hollywood
New gate installation in Hollywood usually starts with the question of what the ground will do under the gate over the next ten years. On canal-front lots, we pour deeper footings and use heavier-duty hardware because the water table moves and the soil compresses unevenly. In western subdivisions, we’re often replacing a builder-grade operator with a unit that can handle daily HOA traffic without failing in three years. Every installation begins with a free site measure and a written price, agreed before any work starts. We hang the gate, mount the operator, run the power, set the safety edges and photo eyes, and program your remotes and keypad, all as one job. No second contractor, no gaps between trades. For a broader look at what’s involved, see our Gate Installation page.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re out of your car twice a day to open and close a manual gate, or you moved into a Hollywood home with an operator that’s been dead for years.
What it costs in Hollywood
Automatic gate installation in Hollywood typically runs $3,800 to $8,500 depending on gate size, operator type, and the power-run distance from the panel.
How we do it
We set the operator mount, hang a properly reinforced gate, run and connect the electrical, install safety sensors and a keypad, then program and test every function with you on site.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate is sagging, rusted through, or simply the wrong style for the opening, and repairs no longer make sense.
What it costs in Hollywood
A new driveway gate in Hollywood, installed and automated, typically falls between $4,200 and $9,800 depending on length, material, and whether the old gate needs demolition and haul-away.
How we do it
We measure the opening, check the footing depth and soil, weld or assemble the gate to fit, mount the operator, and run the full electrical and safety circuit before testing under load.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway has a slope, limited swing clearance, or a wide opening where a sliding gate fits better and holds up longer than a swing design.
What it costs in Hollywood
Sliding gate installation in Hollywood averages $4,500 to $10,500, with the higher end covering heavier steel gates, rack-and-pinion drives, and long concrete track beds.
How we do it
We pour or repair the track bed, set the post guides, hang the gate on proper rollers, mount the slide operator, and align the rack and pinion so the gate travels smooth and quiet.
What Gate Installation Costs in Hollywood
| Item | Typical range in Hollywood |
|---|---|
| Automatic gate with operator and keypad | $3,800 – $8,500 |
| Driveway gate, installed and automated | $4,200 – $9,800 |
| Sliding gate with track and motor | $4,500 – $10,500 |
Do I need a permit for a new gate in Hollywood?
In most cases yes. Hollywood requires a permit when you’re running new electrical or changing the footprint of a driveway gate. We handle the paperwork and schedule the inspection as part of the job, and we’ll tell you upfront if yours qualifies for an exemption.
How long does a Hollywood gate installation take?
Most residential installations in Hollywood take one to two working days from footing to final programming. Canal-front properties sometimes run longer when the footing needs deeper excavation or extra concrete cure time before we mount the gate.

Salt air east of US-1 pushes parts prices toward the higher end of these ranges, because we spec stainless or powder-coated hardware that will not rust out in three seasons. Whatever the number, you’ll approve it in writing before we open the toolbox, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

FAQs About Gate Company in Hollywood
Most Hollywood repair calls get a same-day visit if you call before early afternoon. Emergency calls for gates stuck open or wedged on a track take priority, since a gate that won’t close is a security problem, not just an inconvenience. We’ll give you a firm arrival window when you phone.
Some gated communities in the 33024 and 33023 corridors require HOA-approved vendors or specific equipment to match the community’s existing entry system. We’re familiar with most of those requirements and can work with your management company on the approval and paperwork.
Yes. Pool enclosure gates in Hollywood need to meet specific self-closing and latching requirements, and pedestrian gates often fail before the driveway gate because they cycle more often. We repair, re-spring, and replace both, and we can automate a pedestrian gate if you want keypad access.

What Hollywood Customers Say
"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."
— Adriana Reyes"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."
— Jennifer Bennett"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."
— Rafael Garcia
