Gate installation in Kendall means working with steel and aluminum built for half-acre estates and HOA entry points, not builder-grade panels. We install driveway swing gates, sliding gates, and full automatic systems across the 33156 corridor, and we know what the salt-humid air off Biscayne Bay does to fresh welds and control boards if they’re not sealed right from day one. Archway Gate Repair has served Kendall since 2011, and our installers are gate-only specialists. Call (855) 360-5306 for a free on-site estimate.
Why Kendall Homes Are Different
Kendall splits between two gate worlds. West of US-1 you get custom-welded steel and aluminum driveway gates on 1970s-to-2000s Mediterranean-style homes, many of them on lots large enough for a true estate gate off SW 87th Avenue. East of that you get gated HOA townhome and estate subdivisions where the entry gate is shared infrastructure, not personal property. Both worlds deal with the same subtropical Miami conditions: intense sun that bakes powder coating and degrades rubber seals, near-constant humidity that fogs photo-eye lenses, and salt-laden air that eats untreated steel at the hinge points. After a summer thunderstorm, the call pattern flips to keypad and control board failures across Kendall subdivisions. The older estate gates off SW 87th often need operator housings re-sealed rather than replaced. Anything we install here has to be spec’d for hurricane-season wind loads and corrosion resistance, not just curb appeal.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Kendall Services
Most Kendall calls to us fall into two categories: a gate that won’t open or close correctly, and an electric system where the motor, board, or sensors have failed. Both are covered below with dedicated Kendall pages.
Gate Repair in Kendall
Kendall gates fail in predictable ways: sagging hinges on heavy estate gates, rusted latch hardware, bent slide tracks from storm debris, and weld fatigue on custom steel frames. Because most Kendall gates are custom-fabricated rather than stock units, repair often means matching and fabricating a part rather than swapping in something off a shelf. We work on the brand already on your property and diagnose before we quote. Full details on pricing, common failures, and same-day response are on our Gate Repair in Kendall page.
Electric Gate Repair in Kendall
Electric gate repair is the core of what we do in Kendall. Humidity shortens control board life here, salt air corrodes motor housings and wiring connections, and the daily open-close cycle on an HOA entry gate is far heavier than on a single-family driveway. We handle motors, openers, control boards, safety loops, and wiring – not just the mechanical side. If your gate moves erratically, beeps without opening, or trips its breaker, see the Electric Gate Repair in Kendall page for pricing and symptom guidance.

Gate Installation in Kendall
Gate installation in Kendall means building for two realities at once: the suburban horse-and-estate character west of US-1 and the high-cycle shared entries of gated communities along Kendall Drive. A new gate here has to hold up to hurricane-season wind loads, resist corrosion from salt-humid air, and operate reliably through months of daily heat and rain. We quote and build for that, not for a showroom photo. If you’re replacing a failed system or adding a gate to a new build, see our full Gate Installation page for service details across Miami-Dade. Below are the two installation jobs we handle most often in Kendall.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want vehicle access without getting out of the car, or your existing manual gate gets left open because it’s inconvenient to close.
What it costs in Kendall
Automatic gate installation in Kendall typically runs $3,800 to $12,000 depending on gate size, operator type, and whether you’re converting an existing gate or starting fresh.
How we do it
We assess the gate weight and post condition, mount the operator, run power and control wiring, install safety edges and photo-eyes, then program and test the full travel cycle.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You have a gate that currently only opens manually, or you want keypad, intercom, or remote access control added to a property.
What it costs in Kendall
Electric gate installation in Kendall generally lands between $3,500 and $10,000, with the range driven by the operator, the amount of new wiring, and whether access-control hardware is included.
How we do it
We handle the full electrical scope – power run, operator, control board, safety loops, keypad or intercom – then set travel limits and test the safety reverse under load.
What Gate Installation Costs in Kendall
| Item | Typical range in Kendall |
|---|---|
| Automatic gate operator installation | $1,200 – $3,500 |
| Full automatic gate installation (gate + operator) | $3,800 – $12,000 |
| Electric gate installation with access control | $3,500 – $10,000 |
Do I need an HOA approval before installing a gate in Kendall?
Most gated Kendall subdivisions require architectural or board approval before any new driveway gate or entry-gate modification, so check your HOA documents first. We install to code and can provide the spec sheet your board will want.
How long does a new gate installation take in Kendall?
Simple manual gate replacement usually takes one day. Full automatic or electric installations typically run two to four days, depending on concrete work, power runs, and whether we’re fabricating a custom steel or aluminum gate to match existing fencing.

Kendall pricing runs toward the upper half of those ranges because custom steel and aluminum gates need fabrication time, and salt-humid air often means replacing corroded hardware at the same time you fix the visible failure. Every job is quoted and agreed before any work starts, so there’s no surprise invoice after the gate is back in service.

FAQs About Gate Company in Kendall
For an emergency gate failure, most Kendall homes and HOA entries are reached the same day or the next morning. We schedule around your availability for non-urgent work like installation estimates and planned replacements. Call (855) 360-5306 and tell us what the gate is doing, and we’ll give you a realistic arrival window before we dispatch.
Replacing an existing gate on the same posts usually does not trigger a permit in unincorporated Miami-Dade, but adding a new automatic operator or pouring new footers may require one, and HOA-governed subdivisions often have their own approval process. We’ll tell you what applies to your specific property before quoting the work.
Yes, that’s a significant portion of our Kendall work. Shared entry gates run higher daily cycle counts than residential driveway gates, so we inspect the operator, safety loops, and hinge hardware together rather than just fixing the part that failed. Call (855) 360-5306 with the community name and we’ll schedule a site visit.

What Kendall Customers Say
"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
— Rohan Sharma"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
— Laura Schaefer"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."
— Danika Ellison
