Gate installation in Tice usually means one of two jobs: replacing a rusted chain-link driveway gate that has sagged past latching, or adding an automatic opener to an existing manual gate on an older concrete-block or wood-frame home. Tice’s sandy, sandy-loam soil shifts posts out of plumb over decades, and the subtropical humidity eats hinges and latch hardware faster than most owners expect. We’re Miami Gate Company, and we install, repair, and automate gates across the 33916 ZIP code. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free estimate and an honest read on what your gate actually needs.
Why Tice Homes Are Different
Tice is unincorporated Lee County, a stretch of mid-century houses, mobile homes, small farms, and light-commercial frontage along Palm Beach Boulevard. The gates here are not HOA ornamental pieces. They are working gates: heavy sliding gates on welded-steel tracks, wide driveway swing gates hung on chain-link posts, fence-line gates that keep dogs in and stray traffic out. Many were installed in the 1970s or 1980s and have outlived their original concrete footings.
That means the repair calls we take in Tice follow patterns. Posts set in sandy soil lean after a wet season. Hinges rust and bind after a few subtropical summers. Manual gates that used to swing freely now drag against the ground because the post moved, not the gate. Opener control boards fail after lightning-driven power surges during summer thunderstorms. Wind-driven rain gets into photo-eye sensors and falses them out. The work here is heavier, older, and more rusted than in a new subdivision, and we approach every Tice job with that expectation.
Because Tice is unincorporated, work along Palm Beach Boulevard and other frontages often runs into county setback and fence-height rules rather than city code. We help owners understand what the county expects before a new gate goes in, so the install does not get flagged later.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Tice Services
Most Tice property owners call us for one of two reasons: a gate that will not open or close, or an automatic opener that stopped responding. Here is what each job involves locally.
Gate Repair in Tice
A sagging or seized gate in Tice is usually a post problem, a hinge problem, or a track problem, and the fix depends on how the gate was built and how long the soil around it has been shifting. We cut out rusted hardware, re-set posts in fresh concrete where the footing has crumbled, and get manual gates swinging or sliding true again. For gates on chain-link frames that have rotted beyond saving, we recommend replacement before the post fails completely. Gate Repair in Tice covers the full range of what we see along these older lots, from misaligned latch strikes to wheels that have worn flat.
Electric Gate Repair in Tice
When an automatic gate in Tice stops responding to a remote or keypad, we start at the control board and work outward through the motor, safety sensors, wiring, and power supply. Lightning strikes and the daily humidity cycle are hard on operator electronics here, and handymen who replace remotes without testing the board often leave the real fault in place. Electric Gate Repair in Tice covers component-level diagnosis on Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, Mighty Mule, and the other major brands we carry parts for.

Gate Installation in Tice
Tice’s housing stock runs to small single-family homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, and many driveway gates on those lots are either manual or running an operator installed a decade or more ago. New gate installation here is often about solving two problems at once: the old gate has rusted or shifted beyond sensible repair, and the owner wants automation added during the same job rather than retrofitted later. The sandy soil means we pay extra attention to post depth and concrete footings, because a post that works loose after one wet season guarantees a gate that binds.
We handle the full install, from the first measure to a gate that opens and closes under power with working safety edges and a properly adjusted operator. For more on how we approach new builds and full replacements, see our Gate Installation service page.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want to open your driveway gate without leaving the truck, or you have an older opener that no longer has parts available.
What it costs in Tice
Automatic gate installation typically runs $2,500 – $8,500 in Tice depending on the gate size, operator brand, and whether we are automating an existing gate or hanging a new one.
How we do it
We set posts to a depth that holds in sandy soil, hang the gate, mount the operator, run the power conduit, install safety photo-eyes and edges, then program and test remotes and keypads until the full cycle runs clean.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate drags, sags, or no longer latches because the posts have shifted or the frame has rusted through at the hinges.
What it costs in Tice
Driveway gate installation in Tice typically ranges $1,800 – $7,000 depending on gate width, material, and whether automation is included.
How we do it
We pull the old gate and hardware, set new posts in deep concrete footings, hang and square the new gate, and adjust the latch and stops so it swings or slides without binding.

What Tice Customers Say
"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."
— Chris Norris"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."
— Alma Vargas"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."
— Bethany Hayes
