How Much Does Gate Parts & Welding Cost in Arlington?

Most gate welding and part repairs in Arlington, TX, typically run between $150 and $450, depending on the severity of the structural damage or the specific component failing. Simple steel welding repairs on hinges or latch plates often fall on the lower end of that range, while replacing heavy-duty gear assemblies or complicated gate arm brackets usually sits higher. We provide upfront pricing for every job, so you know exactly what you are paying before we strike an arc or turn a wrench.

Gate Parts & Welding Cost Breakdown (2026)

When you call around Arlington, you might hear a lot of vague estimates. At Gatewood Fence & Gate, we believe in being clear about what things cost. Since I have been doing this since 2001, I have seen just about every kind of gate failure in Tarrant County. Here is what you can expect to pay for typical repairs and welding work in our local market.

These prices reflect the cost of on-site work. Because I bring my welding rig directly to your driveway, we don’t need to haul your gate off to a shop, which saves you the expense of a flatbed truck or crane rental. If you need a gate parts & welding in Arlington, we handle the job right where the gate stands.

What Affects Gate Parts & Welding Pricing in Arlington

Not every gate in Arlington is the same, and neither is every repair. When I come out to take a look, I look for specific things that change the scope of the work. Here is how we determine the cost of a project:

• Extent of Corrosion: If the steel is rusted through to the point where there is no “meat” left to weld to, we have to cut out the bad section and weld in new steel. This takes longer than a simple bead weld on a solid surface.
• Gate Weight and Size: A standard residential gate is one thing, but a heavy ornamental iron gate in a neighborhood like Dalworthington Gardens requires more reinforcement. If the gate is heavy, the hinges take more abuse, and the welding must be deeper to hold the load.
• Access to the Work Area: If your gate is tucked into a tight corner or surrounded by landscaping that prevents us from getting the welding leads to the work site, it adds time to the job. We always try to work cleanly, but accessibility matters.
• Component Availability: While we can weld almost anything, if we need to replace a proprietary gate part for a brand like LiftMaster or FAAC, the cost of that specific part is added to the labor. We keep common parts on the truck, but specialized gear can vary in price.
• The Root Cause: A gate that sags because the hinge post is leaning is different from a gate that sags because the frame is cracked. If we just weld the crack without fixing the leaning post, you will be calling me back in six months. I prefer to fix the cause, not just the symptom.

The name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road. That is the oldest accountability there is. If you want an honest look at what your gate needs, call (817) 241-4067. We offer free estimates, and if you already have a written estimate from someone else, I am happy to give you a second opinion at no charge.

How to Save on Gate Parts & Welding

You do not have to break the bank to keep your gate running. Over the last 29 years, I have found that the best way to save money is to catch issues before they turn into major structural failures. A gate that drags on the driveway for six months will eventually crack the frame or snap a hinge, turning a $150 repair into a $400 welding job. Here is how you can keep costs down:

• Address Sags Early: If your gate is scraping the concrete, don’t wait. That drag puts immense pressure on your hinges and the gate opener arm. Adjusting a sag early is cheap; fixing a torn-out hinge post is not.
• Lubrication Matters: In our North Texas climate, the humidity and temperature swings can dry out gate components. Use a high-quality silicone spray on your rollers and hinges twice a year. It prevents the seizing that leads to broken parts.
• Check Your Foundation: If you see cracks in the concrete around your gate posts, or if the post wobbles when you push on the gate, get it checked immediately. A shifting post is the #1 cause of gate failure in Arlington.
• Take Advantage of Local Discounts: We believe in supporting our neighbors. We offer a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans. We also have a standing offer of $40 off any repair over $200.
• Avoid the “Replace Everything” Trap: Many larger companies make more money by selling you a brand-new gate. We believe in repairing what is already there whenever possible. Welding saves you the massive cost of fabrication and installation.

If you are worried about the cost, give us a call at (817) 241-4067. I answer the phone myself, and I can usually give you a good idea of what to expect before I even drive out to your property. We don’t have dispatch queues or call centers; you get me, Hal Gatewood.

How We Handle On-Site Welding

When you need a gate repaired, the last thing you want is for someone to haul your gate away for a week. That leaves your property unsecured and adds a huge cost for labor and transport. Here is how we handle it:

1. Assessment: We inspect the gate and the frame to see exactly where the metal has failed.
2. Surface Prep: We grind down the old paint and rust to get to clean, bare metal. You cannot get a good weld on rust.
3. Structural Reinforcement: If the gate is sagging, we add gussets or cross-bracing to strengthen the frame before we ever touch the hinges.
4. The Weld: We use professional-grade welding equipment to ensure the bond is stronger than the original metal.
5. Finishing: We grind the weld flush and apply a primer or paint to protect the bare metal from the Arlington humidity, preventing future rust.

Every job comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, I make it right. It is that simple. I have been serving this community since 2001, and I plan to be here for a long time to come. If you need someone who knows how to handle a torch and a grinder, call us today.

Is it cheaper to repair a gate or replace it?

In 90% of cases, it is significantly cheaper to repair a gate than to replace it. A full gate replacement can easily cost thousands of dollars, whereas most welding and parts repairs in Arlington range from $150 to $450. We only recommend replacement if the structural integrity of the gate is beyond saving.

Yes. While we are certified to service nine major brands-including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule-our Gate Parts & Welding services apply to any steel or aluminum gate, regardless of the opener brand. If it is made of metal, we can weld it.
