If your gate is sagging, stuck, or refusing to open after a storm, we can help. Gate repair in Tice usually runs $185 – $450 for common hinge, post, and realignment work, with most repairs done in a single visit. We know the older, unincorporated properties along Palm Beach Boulevard and the Caloosahatchee, where gates were often hung decades ago and have settled, rusted, and shifted since. Call (855) 360-5306 and we’ll get a technician out to your Tice property, diagnose the exact problem, and quote the repair before any work begins.
Why Archway Gate Repair Is Tice’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
We’re a gate-only specialist, which matters in Tice. A general handyman sees a sagging gate and guesses. We see the same gate and know whether it’s a hinge post that’s rotted at the base from twenty years of subtropical humidity, or an operator arm that’s been wrenched out of alignment by hurricane-season wind. Our team works on the brand already on your property, including BFT, Linear, and Viking systems, so we’re not spending your first hour figuring out how your opener is wired. That brand familiarity means faster diagnosis and fewer return trips.
Tice customers call us because we’re honest about the repair-first question. A sagging gate on a mid-century lot off Palm Beach Boulevard often needs a new post footing, not a whole new gate. We’ll tell you when a hinge bracket can be fabricated to match non-standard spacing, and we’ll also tell you when an obsolete control board means the operator has to be replaced. You get a straight answer. Our team, led by Nelson Arrieta, has built a reputation across the Tice area for that kind of candor.
We cover all of the 33916 ZIP and respond quickly to Tice neighborhoods near Buckingham Road and along the Palm Beach Boulevard corridor. Estimates are free, and the price you’re quoted is the price you’ll see before work starts.
Styles & brands we work with





Wood Gate Repair in Tice
Wood Gate Repair in Tice is one of the most common calls we take, and it’s driven by this area’s climate. The subtropical heat, heavy summer rains, and intense UV here dry out wooden gate posts and frames faster than property owners expect. A wood gate that looked solid in March can be spongy at the base by September. Typical wood gate repair in Tice runs $175 – $400 depending on whether we’re replacing a hinge post, re-hanging the gate panel, or rebuilding the frame.
Rotted Post Replacement
A rotted post is the most frequent failure we find on wood gates in Tice. The post looks fine above ground, but at the soil line, it’s soft and black from decades of moisture. We dig out the old post, set a new pressure-treated or steel post in concrete, and re-hang the gate to swing cleanly. If the panel itself is still sound, this single repair can add years to the gate.
Realignment and Re-Hanging
Wood gates sag over time as hinges pull loose from dried-out wood. We’ll remove the gate, repair or reinforce the hinge mounting points, and re-hang it so it latches properly. On Tice properties with older, non-standard gates, we often fabricate custom hinge brackets because the original spacing doesn’t match anything sold off the shelf today.
Driveway Gate Repair in Tice
Driveway Gate Repair in Tice often involves a mix of mechanical and electric work, because so many gates here are older owner-installed units that have been automated at some point over the decades. A typical driveway gate repair in Tice runs $250 – $650 for hinge, post, and track realignment, and $400 – $1,100 when the operator, control board, or safety sensors are involved. We quote the full scope before starting.
Swing Gate Repair
Swing driveway gates are common on the larger, older lots throughout Tice. The heavy afternoon sun and salt-laden air moving up from the Caloosahatchee accelerate rust on steel hinges and gate hardware. We replace worn hinges, straighten bent gate frames, and re-set posts that have drifted. If the gate has an automatic opener, we’ll check the operator arm and stop limits to make sure the new alignment doesn’t overload the motor.
Slide Gate and Track Repair
Slide gates appear on some of the commercial and multi-unit properties along Palm Beach Boulevard. Sand, rust, and road debris collect in the track, and the steel wheels wear out. We clean and repair tracks, replace rollers, and re-align the gate so it doesn’t bind mid-travel. The goal is smooth operation without stressing the operator.
Trusted Brands We Service in Tice
We work on the brand already on your property. Our team is factory-familiar with nine of the most widely installed residential and commercial gate brands, including BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls, so we know each system’s specific failure points before we get to your Tice driveway for LiftMaster repair in Tice or any other brand. When we repair a BFT operator in Tice, we already know the board layout and the common relay failures. When a Linear opener won’t respond, we know where to test first. That brand-level knowledge reduces labor time and parts guesswork, which keeps your repair bill honest. We stock common parts locally for faster turnaround on Tice jobs.

AfterCommon Gate Repair Problems We See in Tice Homes
- Obsolete control boards on legacy operators. Many Tice gates were automated in the 1990s and early 2000s. When those control boards fail, the part is often discontinued, and the cleanest fix is a full operator replacement. We’ll tell you honestly whether a retrofit is possible or whether replacement is the cheaper long-term answer.
- Rotted hinge posts from decades of UV and humidity. This is the number one cause of sagging gates in Tice. The post looks fine, but the base is crumbling. Panel fixes alone won’t solve it; the post has to be replaced and set properly.
- Gates set too close to the Palm Beach Boulevard right-of-way. In unincorporated Tice, many gates were installed without permits and sit right at the edge of the county right-of-way. That creates swing clearance problems and visibility issues with the county. We’ve handled enough of these to know what needs to be corrected.
- Rust on steel gates and hardware from salt-laden air. Tice sits just inland from the Caloosahatchee and the Gulf corridor. Salt air accelerates corrosion on hinges, latches, and operator arms. Regular lubrication and rust treatment help, but worn components eventually need replacement.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Tice
Yes, in most cases. A sagging gate after a storm usually means the hinge post has shifted or rotted at the base, not that the gate needs replacing. We can replace the post, re-set the footing, and re-hang the gate in a single visit. If the hinge itself is bent from wind load, we’ll swap it. Sagging gates in Tice are almost always repairable. Call (855) 360-5306 and we’ll take a look.
Sometimes, but not always. If we can source a compatible aftermarket board or rebuild the existing one, we’ll retrofit it. If the board is truly obsolete and no compatible part exists, a full operator replacement is the honest answer. We see this often on older Tice gates that were automated years ago. We’ll show you the dead board and explain exactly why replacement is necessary before any work is quoted.
For most repairs, no. Replacing a hinge, post, operator, or sensor on an existing gate doesn’t require a permit in unincorporated Lee County. What can trigger a permit is moving a gate to a new location or changing its swing so it extends into the right-of-way. Since Tice is unincorporated and many gates sit close to Palm Beach Boulevard, we’ll check your gate’s clearance and setback position as part of the repair. If a permit is needed, we’ll tell you before any work starts.
It depends on where the rot is. If the frame rails are solid and only the hinge post or a few pickets are bad, repair is the cheaper path. If the frame itself is soft in multiple places, replacement is usually more cost-effective, because a rebuilt gate on a rotten frame won’t last. We’ll show you the condition of the wood and give you both options with numbers. For Tice’s climate, we often recommend steel post replacements even when the wood panel is kept.
Yes. Most older automatic gates in Tice lack proper photo-eye sensors or edge sensors. We can retrofit safety photocells and contact edges to meet current standards. This matters on older owner-installed gates along Palm Beach Boulevard where the gate swings close to the sidewalk or right-of-way. Sensors also prevent your gate from closing on a vehicle or person. Call (855) 360-5306 for a free estimate on a safety retrofit.
If your gate is sagging, stuck, or won’t respond to the opener, our Gate Repair team is ready to help. Call (855) 360-5306 for a free estimate, and we’ll send a technician to your Tice property with the right tools and the brand knowledge to fix it correctly.
