We repair Ghost Controls gate operators throughout Burnt Store Marina, FL. If your swing or slide gate has gone dead, is throwing limit faults, or only one leaf moves, call (855) 360-5306 for a free estimate. What makes our work here different is simple: in a canal-lot marina community, the water-side gate fails first, and we come looking for that before we write any quote.
We’re an independent Ghost Controls service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer. That means we work on the brand already on your property, diagnose it against real failure patterns we see in Lee County’s salt-air communities, and repair before we recommend replacing. From Ghost Controls sales & service support to full operator retrofits, Burnt Store Marina homeowners and HOA managers call us when the gate has to work, not just look good.
Why Burnt Store Marina Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service
Owner Nelson Arrieta has been doing gate work in South Florida for over two decades, and the Ghost Controls brand is one of the nine major gate systems our crew works on weekly, including Ghost Controls service in Palmona Park. That matters in Burnt Store Marina because the failures we see here are not the textbook ones. A Ghost Controls operator on a canal-lot villa rusts differently than the same unit inland. If I’ve seen the brand, I’ve already seen the problem, and our techs come to your property already knowing which Ghost Controls failure points to check first.
We’re a gate-only shop, not a handyman service that happens to own a multimeter. That focus pays off on Ghost Controls low-voltage solar and battery operators, where a “dead” gate is usually a charge controller, a corroded terminal, or a drifted post rather than a bad motor. We use Ghost Controls-compatible OEM-spec boards, harnesses, batteries, and limit switches where they’re available, and quality aftermarket equivalents when a proprietary part is discontinued. You get a straight answer: repair first, replace only when necessary.

Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Burnt Store Marina
- Water-side corrosion on canal and dock gates. The Ghost Controls control box, battery terminals, and hinge pivots on the saltwater-facing side of a Burnt Store Marina property pit and seize months faster than the street-side hardware. We see green-corroded connectors and seized pivots on water-side gates that still look fine from the driveway.
- Battery and charge-controller failure after named storms. After a hurricane or extended cloudy stretch, Ghost Controls solar units sit undercharged. The gate reads dead when the panel, battery, or charge controller is the actual fault. We test each component instead of assuming the arm is bad.
- Post and alignment drift from storm-season wind and saturated canal-bank soil. Hurricane wind and waterlogged ground heave gate posts in Burnt Store Marina, throwing Ghost Controls swing arms out of geometry. The operator strains, trips obstruction sensing, or throws limit faults that look exactly like a board failure.
- Keypad and photo-eye water intrusion at community and dock-access gates. Humid salt air fogs photo-eye lenses and corrodes keypad and card-reader boards at community entry and dock gates. Entry credentials fail before the motor does, and tenants blame the opener when the real fault is in the access hardware.
- One dead leaf on a dual-swing Ghost Controls system. On TD2 and TSS two-leaf driveway kits, one side often stops first. In Burnt Store Marina it’s usually the dock- or canal-facing leaf. We trace it before we touch anything: battery, harness connector, limit switch, or hinge pivot.
Ghost Controls Service in Burnt Store Marina: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Burnt Store Marina is a boating-centric, master-planned community in unincorporated Lee County, zoned 33993, where nearly every gate exists to protect watercraft and salt-exposed property. Most lots back onto saltwater canals or sit beside the wet/dry boat-storage basin. That geography changes how Ghost Controls equipment ages, and it’s something a generic Florida gate page will never tell you: the dock- or canal-facing gate on a given property fails first, almost every time. The street-side operator on the same house may run for years without issue while the water-side unit corrodes through its battery terminals, control board connectors, and hinge pivots on a much faster clock.
On a canal-lot villa off the community’s water-side streets, our crew was called for a Ghost Controls dual-swing driveway gate that had gone dead on the dock-access leaf only. The street-side arm ran fine. The water-side control box had green-corroded battery terminals and a seized hinge pivot. We replaced the harness connectors and battery, freed and re-lubed the hinge, re-plumbed the salt-side post, and re-learned the limits so both leaves cycled together again. That’s the kind of repair you only find if you know to look water-side first.
Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Burnt Store Marina
Our Burnt Store Marina calls cover the full Ghost Controls residential lineup: the Heavy-Duty Single Swing (TDS series) solar and battery operator kits, Dual Swing (TD2 and TSS) two-leaf driveway setups, and slide-gate operators with accessory kits including AXGN keypads, photo-eyes, and battery-backup add-ons. Because we work on nine major gate brands, we keep common Ghost Controls-compatible boards, harnesses, batteries, and limit switches on hand for faster turnaround.
When a proprietary part is discontinued, we’ll tell you straight and source a quality aftermarket equivalent that does the same job. We do not sell a new operator to fix a post that simply moved. If the motor, arm, and board test fine, the problem is alignment or power, and we’ll quote the honest fix.

FAQs – Ghost Controls Gate Repair in Burnt Store Marina
Because the water-side operator, battery terminals, and hinge pivots sit in salt-laden air every day. The canal-facing gate fails first on most Burnt Store Marina properties even when both gates run off the same house power or solar setup. We start every dual-gate diagnosis on the water side. Call (855) 360-5306 and we’ll check it.
Usually no. After a named storm in Burnt Store Marina, the first thing we check is the battery and charge controller. Cloudy stretches leave solar units undercharged, and storm surge can corrode terminals. If the keypad is dead too, water intrusion in the access board is likely. The motor is often fine. Call (855) 360-5306 for a diagnostic visit.
Yes. A dragging Ghost Controls swing gate in Burnt Store Marina is most often a drifted post or a seized hinge, not a dead operator. We re-plumb the post, free and re-lubricate the hinge, and re-learn the travel limits so the operator stops fighting itself. Replacement only comes up if the board or motor has already been damaged by the strain. Call (855) 360-5306 and we’ll tell you which fix your gate actually needs.
Both. We service Ghost Controls operators on single-home driveways, HOA community entry points, and dock or pier access gates throughout Burnt Store Marina and Bokeelia. The dock-access units are often the worst corroded because they sit closest to the water. We quote community and private jobs the same way: free estimate, price agreed before work begins. Call (855) 360-5306.
We are an independent service provider, not authorized, sponsored, or warranty-endorsed by Ghost Controls. If your operator is still under factory warranty, a manufacturer-authorized repair may be the right call. For most Burnt Store Marina gates, the warranty has long expired and an independent repair with OEM-spec parts is the faster, more affordable route. We’ll be straight about which path makes sense for your unit. Call (855) 360-5306.
