When a driveway gate stops working in Katy, you don’t need a general handyman. You need someone who knows why gates fail here specifically: clay soil that swells and shifts, humidity that rusts hinges, and master-planned communities like Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch where ornate steel and iron gates run on aging circuit boards. Latch & Post Gate Repair is the Katy gate specialist that brings a written price, a clean floor, and a 365-day guarantee to every call. If your gate is sagging, sticking, or refusing to open, call (361) 256-5955 and a live person answers.
Why Katy Homes Are Different
Katy’s housing stock shapes the work we do. Most homes were built after the 1990s: large suburban single-family houses with decorative steel or wrought iron driveway gates attached to brick or stone pillars. Those pillars look solid, but they sit on expansive clay soil that moves with every wet-dry cycle. That movement is why we see so many Katy gates pull out of alignment or bind at the latch post. The gate itself might be fine; the ground underneath it isn’t.
Humidity and heat do the rest. Katy summers push gate operator circuit boards past their limits, while moisture works its way into hinges and bearings. In older sections like Old Katy, many gates were custom-built and no longer have matching replacement parts. We routinely fabricate hinges or retrofit modern operators onto these older gates to keep the original look intact. The goal isn’t just to make the gate open; it’s to make it stay open through the next clay-soil shift and the next hundred-degree week.

Our Main Katy Services
These are the two calls we get most from Katy homeowners: one urgent, one planned. Each has its own page with pricing and specifics for Katy conditions.
Gate Repair in Katy
Katy gates sag, scrape, and refuse to latch for predictable reasons. Clay soil movement throws posts out of plumb. Humidity seizes hinges. Kids and delivery trucks put stress on weld points that were never designed for it. Our Gate Repair in Katy work starts with finding the root cause rather than just tightening bolts. We carry hardware for LiftMaster, Linear, BFT, and Ghost Controls operators so the fix happens on the first visit. Written price before we touch anything, and the repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Gate Installation in Katy
New construction in Katy keeps adding fences, posts, and driveway gates, and HOAs in master-planned communities often have specific requirements for style and finish. Our Gate Installation in Katy process includes measuring, concrete or post-setting work, and matching the gate to the home rather than just dropping in a stock panel. We install hoops, sliders, and automated driveway singles, and every install includes a written price before work begins. Shoe covers and drop cloths stay on whenever we step inside to run wiring.
Electric Gate Repair in Katy
Katy’s heat and humidity are hard on gate electronics. Circuit boards fail, sensors drift, and motors burn out faster here than in drier climates. Our Electric Gate Repair in Katy service covers board replacements, sensor adjustment, remote programming, and safety edge work on Viking, BFT, and Linear openers. We diagnose the issue before recommending any repair, so you know exactly what’s broken and what it costs. All electrical work is quoted in writing, and the repair is backed for a full year.

In Katy, prices tend to rise when clay soil has shifted a post far enough that we need to dig it out and reset the concrete. Gates with custom ornamental work in older sections of Katy can also run higher because more fabrication time is involved. Whatever the job, you’ll see the exact number in writing before we start; nothing gets added at the end.
