Gate installation in Lighthouse Point runs $3,400 to $9,800 for a complete automatic driveway gate, with the saltwater canal environment pushing most homeowners toward marine-grade hardware that costs 20 – 30% more than inland Broward setups. We’re seeing more Lighthouse Point homes replace rusted iron and failing operators with sealed, corrosion-resistant systems built for life near the Intracoastal. That’s the work we do every week, and it’s not the kind of job you want a general handyman learning on.
If your current gate is salt-seized, sagging, or the opener quit after the last king tide, call Archway Gate Repair at (855) 360-5306. We’ve served Lighthouse Point since 2011 and we work on the brand already on your property.
Why Lighthouse Point Homes Are Different
Lighthouse Point is a canal-laced waterfront boating community. Most driveway and side-yard gates sit within feet of saltwater canals or the Intracoastal, which means gate operators, hinges, and control boards fail from salt-laden air and storm surge long before inland Broward gates do. A gate that would last 15 years in Coral Springs might need major work in 8 here. Repairs on these properties are as much about marine-grade corrosion protection as they are about the gate mechanism itself.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Almost every home in Lighthouse Point is a single-family waterfront or near-water property, many with private docks and boat lifts. That means our gate work here is almost exclusively residential driveway and side-yard gates on salt-exposed lots. We’re not showing up to a warehouse gate in an industrial park. We’re pulling into a canal-front driveway where the gate’s bottom rail has been sitting in salt spray since 2007. The subtropical marine climate, year-round humidity, hurricane-season wind, and periodic flooding all accelerate rust on gate hardware and knock out operators. After a king tide or a September storm, canal-front homeowners routinely find their gate operators and hinges seized with salt corrosion. Diagnosed, not guessed, that’s the only way to approach gates here.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lighthouse Point Services
The two calls we get most from Lighthouse Point homeowners are a gate that won’t open at all, and an electric operator that’s doing something it shouldn’t. Both have their own dedicated pages with full pricing, signs, and local detail.
Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point
A salt-seized hinge or a sagging cantilever gate on a canal-front property is a different repair than the same problem inland. We replace marine-grade stainless hardware where standard steel would rust again in a season, and we inspect the full track, rollers, and mounting posts because salt damage is rarely isolated to one component. Most Lighthouse Point gate repairs are completed the same day once we diagnose the failure. From the motor to the hinge, we cover the whole system. See Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point for pricing, signs of failure, and what a typical canal-front repair involves.
Electric Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point
Humidity and salt air corrode control boards, wiring terminals, and motor seals faster than almost any other Florida environment. When an electric gate in Lighthouse Point stops responding or opens halfway and reverses, the cause usually isn’t the remote. It’s a moisture-damaged board or a safety sensor that’s been degraded by salt film. We carry sealed replacement parts and marine-grade connectors for exactly this reason. We work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, and the system already installed on your property. See Electric Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point for the full scope, brands, and what a salt-corroded opener replacement costs.

Gate Installation in Lighthouse Point
Gate Installation in Lighthouse Point usually means replacing a rusted-out iron gate and a salt-damaged opener with a system that won’t need the same attention in three years. Homeowners here are tired of repainting rust blooms and replacing control boards after every hurricane season. The fix is a gate built with marine-grade steel or aluminum, a sealed operator, and stainless hardware from the hinge up.
We install both the mechanical gate and the full electric automation, so you’re not coordinating two companies. That matters in Lighthouse Point, where the gate sits 30 feet from a saltwater canal and every exposed component is under constant attack.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your current gate is corroded, the operator is down, and you’re holding the gate open with a bungee cord because repairs no longer make financial sense.
What it costs in Lighthouse Point
A complete automatic gate installation in Lighthouse Point runs $4,200 to $9,800, with salt-rated components at the upper end.
How we do it
We remove the old gate and operator, set new posts with proper concrete depth, hang the gate, then install and program the motor, safety sensors, and remotes.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The gate sags on its hinges, the bottom rail has rust-through holes, and the post has shifted enough that the gate no longer latches or tracks cleanly.
What it costs in Lighthouse Point
Driveway gate installation with a new steel or aluminum gate and hardware runs $3,400 to $7,500 in Lighthouse Point, before automation.
How we do it
We measure the driveway opening, fabricate or order the gate to spec, set and anchor the posts, hang the gate, and adjust the hardware until it swings clean.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your lot’s grade or driveway layout makes a swing gate impractical, or your existing sliding gate jumps the track and binds in the rollers.
What it costs in Lighthouse Point
A sliding gate installation with track, rollers, and a cantilever or V-track system runs $4,800 to $9,500 in Lighthouse Point.
How we do it
We assess the track path and drainage, pour or mount the track base, set the gate on its rollers, then dial in the motor and safety edges.

How long does a gate installation take in Lighthouse Point?
Most Lighthouse Point installations take one to two days on site. Custom or sliding gates may take longer because posts have to cure before the gate is hung.
Do I need a permit to replace my gate in Lighthouse Point?
Permit requirements vary by scope. We can tell you what Lighthouse Point requires for your specific installation and whether your HOA needs to approve the design before we order materials.

We’re factory-familiar with LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule.

What Lighthouse Point Customers Say
"Gate works properly now and the price was fair. The one thing is that it took two visits, because the operator model we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They didn't charge for the second trip."
— Ernesto Flores"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and installed a surge protector on the line so it hopefully doesn't happen again."
— Roger Ziegler"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
