AfterFast, Reliable Gate Installation Across Everman
Gate installation in Everman, TX typically runs $1,800 to $6,400 for a complete driveway gate with operator, and most jobs are quoted and scheduled within three to five business days. We’re not going to promise same-day on new installations because a gate that’s measured, welded, and set for the load it actually carries takes a little time. But when you call (817) 241-4067, you’ll talk to a live person who knows Everman’s streets, and you’ll get a written price before any work begins.
Everman is its own place. The lots are tighter than what you see in Colleyville or Arlington, and a lot of driveways here hold work trucks, trailers, and equipment that cycle a gate thirty or forty times a day. We’ve been working these streets long enough to know which corners flood, which blocks sit on the heaviest black clay, and where the original 1960s gates are still hanging on. That matters when we spec a gate for your driveway, because the gate that works on a quiet cul-de-sac with one car won’t survive a home on Trammel Avenue with two service trucks and a boat trailer.
Hal Gatewood has been at this since 2001, and his name is on the shop. If a gate we install in Everman isn’t done right, you call one number and Hal makes it right under the 90-Day Done Right Promise. That’s not a warranty buried in fine print. It’s a promise written on every invoice.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Everman’s Preferred Gate Installation Company
Most of the businesses who market to Everman are based somewhere else, and it shows in how they spec gates. They look at a 16-foot double driveway gate and see a residential job with residential hardware. We see a gate that’s going to cycle thirty times a day behind a Ford F-250 and a work trailer, and we spec it accordingly. That’s the difference between a gate that still swings clean in five years and one that’s burned out its third motor by year two.
Our clients in Everman keep telling us the same thing: they’ve been burned by a company that quoted one number on the phone and showed up with a different invoice. That doesn’t happen with us. The price is agreed before we touch a single post, and if you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. We’re not the cheapest bid in Everman, and we don’t want to be. We’re the name you can find at the shop, on the invoice, and in the driveway every time.
Every call to (817) 241-4067 is answered by a human being, day or night, weekends included. No voicemail tree. No answering service three states away. When you need a gate looked at, you reach a person who knows this trade, and they’ll get Hal or one of his crew headed toward Everman.
Our Gate Installation Services in Everman
Driveway Gate Installation
Driveway gates in Everman carry a different load than what the national averages assume. A standard residential opener might be rated for a 12-foot gate on a suburban lot with one car. But a 16 to 20-foot double gate on a working family’s lot needs a 1 HP-class operator and heavy wall posts set below the frost line to survive what this town throws at it. We size every driveway gate installation for the traffic it will actually see, and we don’t upsell you into hardware you don’t need.
Pedestrian Gate Installation
Pedestrian gates are often the afterthought on a property, but in Everman they handle surprising traffic. Kids walking to school, delivery drivers, the neighbor borrowing a tool. We build pedestrian gates with the same attention to hinge and latch geometry as our driveway gates, and we match the style to the existing fence so it looks like it was always there. Prices for a basic walk gate in Everman start around $600 with installation.
Sliding Gate Installation
Sliding gates make sense when a driveway slopes hard toward the street or when there’s no room for a swing arc. We see a lot of cantilever and V-track slide gates on the narrower Everman lots where a big swing gate would eat the whole front yard. A proper slide gate installation needs a level track run and a motor sized for the gate’s rolling weight, not just its length. We get that right the first time, which is why you won’t see our slide gates stalling halfway open like the hardware-store specials do.
Swing Gate Installation
Swing gates are the workhorse of Everman’s older homes. Double swing gates with ornamental steel or original wood infill are everywhere here, from Enon Avenue to the streets running south toward the park. The failure mode we see most is post heave, the black clay pushes the hinge posts and the gate starts dragging or the latch misses by inches. When we install swing gates in Everman, we set posts in deeper concrete footings than the old ones had, because we know what the soil does season after season.

Trusted Brands We Service in Everman
We’re certified to service and install nine major gate brands, and for Everman customers that often means FAAC, BFT, and Linear operators we’ve seen hold up well on high-cycle residential gates. We also work on Viking and other solid names. If your current gate has a LiftMaster, DoorKing, or Ghost Controls board that’s acting up, we can troubleshoot it honestly: sometimes a board is fine and the issue is a bad loop detector or a tired capacitor. We stock common parts and boards locally, so Everman customers aren’t waiting a week for a part to ship from out of state.
Common Gate Installation Problems We See in Everman Homes
- Post heave from expansive black clay. Tarrant County soil swells and shrinks through every wet-dry cycle, and the hinge posts on older Everman gates shift seasonally. The gate starts binding, the latch doesn’t catch, and eventually retrofit bolts snap. The fix starts with the post, not the gate panel.
- Duplicate undersized operators. A 1/2 HP residential operator running a 16-foot double gate is working beyond its rated duty cycle. It trips the thermal overload, then it burns out. We replace it with an operator matched to the gate’s actual weight and the daily cycle count.
- Obsolete control boards on gates from the 1990s. When you try to add a keypad, loop detector, or modern safety eye to a 25-year-old board, the board often can’t handle it. The gate stalls mid-cycle and leaves you stuck. Some of those old systems can take a new board, and some are genuinely done.
- Hinge fatigue on double gates. Heavy ornamental steel looks great but puts constant load on the hinge barrels and pin welds. When the hinges wear, the gate sags and the top corners collide. You can’t fix that by adjusting the hinges; you have to rebuild them and often address the post movement underneath.
Pricing for Gate Installation in Everman, TX
A new single swing driveway gate in Everman with a 1 HP operator and safety photocell typically lands between $2,800 and $4,800. A double swing gate with two operators, a keypad, and a battery backup runs $4,200 to $6,400 depending on material and the condition of the existing posts. Pedestrian gates start around $600. Basic slide gate systems on a cantilever run $3,500 to $5,800.
What moves the price in Everman is the same thing that moves everything here: the soil. When we have to set new posts because the old ones have heaved or rotted at grade, that’s honest work that adds a few hundred dollars in concrete and labor. But we always show you the line items before we dig. And we don’t surprise you at the end. The number you agree to is the number on the invoice. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount on every job, and any repair over $200 gets $40 off automatically.

FAQs - Gate Installation in Everman
Most gate installations in Everman are quoted within one to two business days and scheduled within three to five business days after we measure and order materials. That’s for new installations. If you have a gate that’s failed completely and is blocking your driveway, call (817) 241-4067 and we’ll treat it as urgent, and get someone out to assess the site and give you a plan. We don’t cut corners to hit an artificial deadline, but we also don’t make Everman wait weeks.
Yes. We work throughout Everman, from the older post-WWII blocks near Enon Avenue and south toward the park, to the streets running east toward the railroad and west toward the city line. Everman isn’t big enough to have “service boundaries,” and we’ve been on just about every street here at some point over the years. Call (817) 241-4067 and tell us your cross street; we’ll know the block.
A full gate installation includes the gate itself, hinge and latch hardware, posts set and leveled, and a gate operator sized for the load with safety photocells. On most Everman jobs we also include a keypad or push-button entry, and we can add loop detectors if you want the gate to open automatically for vehicles.

Not meaningfully. The labor and material costs are the same as Arlington or Fort Worth, but Everman’s soil and lot conditions sometimes mean more post work. When the existing posts have heaved or rotted, we have to remove and reset them, and that’s a real line item. It’s also the difference between a gate that lasts three years and one that lasts fifteen. We never charge a trip charge inside the county, and estimates are free, so you can get a real number without spending anything. Call (817) 241-4067 to set one up.
