How Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Arlington?

Gate parts and welding in Arlington typically run $180 to $650 for common repairs, while heavier fabrication like a bent slide gate frame or a new hinge post can land between $700 and $2,400. Small part swaps such as rollers, hinges, latches, and sensor brackets usually cost $150 to $320 installed. The exact number depends on the gate type, the operator brand, and whether the weld has to be cut out and redone on site.

We’re a gate-only shop, so we diagnose the actual system in front of us instead of guessing. Whether that’s a residential Mighty Mule driveway swing gate or a commercial DoorKing slide gate at a multi-unit property, we’ve worked the parts and the welds on your system before. Every estimate is free and written, and the written estimate is what sets the final price.

Call (855) 349-3550 to book a free estimate. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday. Our technicians have up to 10 years of experience on gate systems and welding.

Key Takeaways

• Common gate part repairs in Arlington: $180 to $650.
• Structural welding (hinge posts, frames, slide gate tracks): $350 to $2,400.
• Operator and control board parts (FAAC, BFT, Linear, LiftMaster, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, Mighty Mule): $250 to $1,100.
• On-site diagnosis matters more than the part price – wrong-brand parts are the top cause of repeat repairs.
• Free written estimates, no service-call fee surprises. Call (855) 349-3550.

Gate Parts & Welding Cost Breakdown (2026)

Here’s what gate parts and welding work actually cost in the Arlington market in 2026. These are typical, estimated ranges for the work and the parts together, installed. The final number is set by the written estimate after we look at your gate.

What drives the cost up? Structural work (welding, post replacement, footing) costs more than swap-in parts because it involves fabrication and cure time. Commercial-grade operators like FAAC, BFT, DoorKing, and Viking use heavier components than residential systems, so replacement parts run higher. Access hardware like keypads and loop detectors adds cost too, but it’s often the cheapest fix for an “operator won’t trigger” complaint. What keeps the price down: catching a part failure before it damages the operator or the gate frame. A $200 sensor swap turns into a $1,100 motor job if it’s ignored.

What Affects Gate Parts & Welding Pricing in Arlington

• Gate type and drive system. A manual swing gate with worn hinges is the simplest, cheapest job. A motorized slide gate with a worn track and a failing operator is a different scale of work. We diagnose which you have before quoting.
• Operator brand and grade. Residential systems – Mighty Mule, Ghost Controls, Linear – use lighter, less expensive parts. Commercial systems – FAAC, BFT, DoorKing, Viking, LiftMaster heavy-duty, Elite – use heavier components. We work all nine brands, so we’re not hunting for a part we’ve never seen.
• Whether the weld is on a post or a frame. Frame welding is straightforward. Post replacement means digging out the footing, checking it, and re-setting it, which is where the labor hours go.
• Material. Steel and aluminum weld differently and wear differently. Galvanized finishes add handling steps. We look at what’s actually there, not what a spec sheet says.
• Access and site conditions. Narrow alley access, overhead lines, landscaping in the way, or a gate that has to come off its hinges to be worked on all add time. Arlington’s tighter residential lots and shared driveways come up often here.
• Age of the gate and the operator together. When a gate is welded to a frame that’s already flexing, a repair on one part flags the others. We tell you the whole picture so you can decide what to fix now versus later.

If you’re weighing repair against full replacement, the Arlington Gate Service team can walk you through both. We handle repair and new installation under one roof, so you don’t have to source a second vendor for a full system swap.

How to Save on Gate Parts & Welding

The biggest saver is an accurate diagnosis on the first visit. Call us and describe the sound or the symptom – a grinding slide, a swing that drags, an operator that clicks and resets. A gate specialist who recognizes the brand and system type usually finds the true cause faster than a generalist who has to climb around and learn your gate from scratch. Here’s what actually keeps the bill down:

• Fix the small part before it grows. A worn roller or a cracked hinge is cheap. A gate that drops off a worn roller and bends the frame is not. Catch it early.
• Know your brand. Write down the operator brand and model if you can see it. We work nine brands – LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule – so a photo or a name shortens the diagnostic.
• Bundle the repair. If a sensor and a latch are both failing, get them done on one visit instead of two. The written estimate covers the whole job at once.
• Ask for the written estimate before work starts. Our estimates are free and every price is set per job by the written estimate. No surprises on the invoice.
• Don’t DIY the operator wiring or the heavy panel. Power to an automated gate operator, and heavy gate panels that can swing or drop, are genuinely dangerous. A trained gate technician should handle the electrical and the structural work.

Ready for a number you can plan around? Call (855) 349-3550. Estimates are free, the price is set per job in writing, and we’ll tell you plainly what’s failing and why.

How to Choose Who Fixes Your Gate in Arlington

Most gate problems get misdiagnosed because whoever shows up doesn’t know the brand. A general handyman or a fence installer may get a manual gate working again, but the moment an operator, a control board, or a safety sensor is involved, brand familiarity matters. We’re a gate-only shop. Every job is a gate job, so our technicians see the same systems repeatedly – and that’s why brand recognition matters here.

Three things to ask any gate contractor before you book:

• Do you work on my brand of operator? If the answer is vague, that’s a warning sign. We name our brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule.
• Do you handle the whole system – motor, control board, sensors, access hardware, and structural welding? Electrical and structural work often get split between two trades. We handle both.
• Is the estimate written? Ours is, and the written estimate sets the final price. Estimates are free.

If you live in a multi-unit building or an HOA in Arlington, add one more: does the contractor work on commercial-grade systems too? DoorKing, FAAC, BFT, and Viking operators are common on community gates, and they behave differently than a residential opener. We service both residential and commercial, which means you’re not calling a second company when your community gate acts up.

Repair or Replace Your Gate? What the Numbers Say in Arlington

As a rule of thumb: if the repair cost is under about a third of what a full replacement would run, repair usually wins. In Arlington, a common manual gate repair sits in the $180 to $650 range, while a full new gate installation is a much larger project. When a weld is failing on a frame that’s already flexing, or when an operator’s control board is failing and the motor is nearing the end of its life, a replacement estimate is worth comparing side by side.

The good news is that we quote both paths in the same written estimate. You don’t have to guess whether welding will hold – we tell you honestly what the gate’s structure can take, and we’ll show you the replacement number if that’s the smarter spend. Same goes for operators: a $320 control board swap on a healthy motor is a very different job than a full operator replacement.

What Happens When You Call

Call (855) 349-3550 and tell us the gate type, the operator brand if you know it, and the symptom – won’t open, won’t close, drags, grinds, reverses, beeps, clicks. We’ll book the estimate. A technician arrives, diagnoses the actual brand and system on site, and gives you a written estimate before any work begins. If it’s a weld, we check the frame and post. If it’s an operator, we check the motor, control board, and sensors together.

We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday. A call outside dispatch hours is booked into the next opening. Same-day service is available when the schedule allows. The estimate is free and the price is set per job by the written estimate.

FAQs – Gate Parts & Welding Cost

How much does it cost to fix a gate in Arlington?

Most gate repairs in Arlington cost $180 to $650, covering common part swaps like hinges, rollers, latches, sensors, and control components. Structural welding and post replacement push the range up to $350 to $2,400. Call (855) 349-3550 for a free estimate – the written estimate sets the final price.

How much does a new gate operator cost in Arlington?

A residential operator replacement typically runs $550 to $1,100 installed in Arlington. Commercial-grade operators – FAAC, BFT, DoorKing, Viking – run $900 to $2,200 depending on the gate weight and drive system. We work all nine operator brands, so we match the part to your system rather than forcing a generic unit. Call (855) 349-3550 to confirm the exact number for your gate.

Can you come today to look at my gate?

Same-day service is often possible when the schedule allows. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday. A call outside those hours is booked into the next opening. The estimate is free. Call (855) 349-3550.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a gate?

Repair is usually cheaper when the fix is under about a third of the replacement cost. In Arlington, most part repairs land between $180 and $650, which is usually far below a full replacement. When a frame is failing structurally or an operator is near the end of its life, the replacement number often makes more sense. We quote both in one written estimate so you can compare. Call (855) 349-3550.

Do you weld gate frames on site?

Yes. We handle frame welding, hinge post replacement, slide gate track repair, and full frame fabrication on site. Welding cost in Arlington typically runs $250 to $700 for a repair, and $1,200 to $2,400 for a full frame weld-out, depending on material and access. Call (855) 349-3550 for a free estimate.

Which operator brands do you service?

We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule – nine brands spanning residential to commercial. We’re independent and experienced with each brand; we’re not tied to any single manufacturer. If you’re unsure what you have, a photo of the operator label helps. Call (855) 349-3550.

What’s the most common gate repair in Arlington?

Worn hinges and rollers on manual swing gates, and failing safety sensors and control boards on automated gates. Both fall in the $150 to $380 range. Catching either early usually prevents a much larger motor or frame repair. Call (855) 349-3550 to get it diagnosed right the first time.
