We’re Miami Gate Company, and we provide Kendall Gate Repair and independent Ghost Controls repair service throughout zip code 33156. We service Ghost Controls operators every week here, and the one thing that separates our Kendall work from anywhere else is the compliance layer: every repair has to preserve the gate’s Miami-Dade product approval, not just get the motor spinning again. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free estimate, and we’ll send a gate specialist who knows Ghost Controls boards as well as Kendall’s inspection standards.
Why Kendall Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service
Ruben Castellano, our owner, grew up in Hialeah and spent summers watching his uncle rewire irrigation controls and fix fencing off Okeechobee Road. That hands-on mechanical exposure turned into a career. He completed Industrial Mechanics at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, studying motors, control circuits, and structural hardware before going all-in on gate systems. Now we run multi-brand diagnostics across Kendall every day, and we also handle Ghost Controls in South Miami. Gates are all we do, so when a Ghost Controls opener fails, we trace the actual fault before swapping parts. If you don’t know exactly what failed, you’re just guessing with someone else’s money.
We’re an independent Ghost Controls service provider. No manufacturer affiliation, which means we fix what you have instead of steering you toward a replacement you don’t need. We stock genuine Ghost Controls boards, arms, and battery harnesses alongside proven aftermarket equivalents for parts Ghost Controls has discontinued. For Kendall homeowners, that means faster repairs and no waiting on backordered components from a distributor.

Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Kendall
- Control board corrosion from salt air and humidity. Kendall’s subtropical climate saturates circuits with moisture, and we routinely open Ghost Controls housings to find green corrosion across the board terminals. Erratic open/close cycles after a summer storm are almost always traceable to this. We replace the board, seal the enclosure properly, and verify the NOA label stays intact.
- Battery backup and solar charge controller failures. During prolonged cloudy, rainy stretches, Ghost Controls battery systems get undercharged and then fail under load. A gate that works fine on AC power but dies when the power goes out usually has a failed battery backup module. We test the charge controller, not just the battery.
- Limit switch drift and arm binding on older gates. Kendall’s housing stock is mostly 1970s – 1990s single-family homes with original driveway gates now 25 – 40 years old. Hinges sag, posts shift, and the Ghost Controls operator strains against friction it was never designed to fight. We realign the gate structure before recalibrating limits, otherwise the new parts fail the same way.
- Keypad and remote receiver faults from lightning surges. Kendall’s afternoon thunderstorms throw a lot of electrical noise around. We replace surge-damaged receiver boards and reprogram remotes and keypads on site. If your keypad lights up but doesn’t open the gate, the receiver is usually the culprit, not the motor.
- One-side-only operation on dual swing systems. A Ghost Controls dual-swing operator that opens one leaf and ignores the other points to a failed slave board or a broken interconnecting harness. We see this often after squalls that push water into the junction box. Diagnosis takes about an hour, and we stock the harnesses to fix it same visit.
Ghost Controls Service in Kendall: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Kendall sits inside Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Every exterior gate has to carry a product approval for wind load, and a gate that fails post-storm inspection can hold up a property sale or insurance renewal. That’s not true in Hialeah Gardens, Ghost Controls in Cutler, or Pinecrest in the same way. Here in Kendall, a simple Ghost Controls arm swap means documenting the existing NOA sticker and verifying hinge anchorage meets current wind-load standards. We’ve had inspectors flag gates because a previous contractor replaced a hinge with a generic part that didn’t match the approved assembly. The repair itself took thirty minutes. The compliance paperwork took longer than the wrench work. So when we scope a Ghost Controls job in Kendall, we factor in the inspection requirement from day one, not as an afterthought. That’s the difference between a gate that works for a week and one that passes the next HOA check.
Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Kendall
We work on the full Ghost Controls residential lineup in Kendall: the Heavy-Duty Dual Swing Gate Opener (AXS series), the Solar-Powered Single Swing Gate Opener, the Tube Gate Opener, and the Architectural Series. For each, we carry genuine Ghost Controls replacement boards, arm assemblies, and battery harnesses, plus proven aftermarket equivalents when a part is obsolete. Our parts approach is simple: OEM where safety or warranty is involved, aftermarket only when Ghost Controls no longer supplies the part and a quality substitute exists. For operators over 10 years old with multiple failures, we’ll tell you straight if replacement costs less than another repair cycle. You can also see our broader Ghost Controls sales & service page for details on what we carry.

AfterGhost Controls Service Pricing in Kendall
Ghost Controls repair pricing in Kendall usually runs between $180 and $340 for common jobs like control board replacement or limit switch recalibration. More involved work, like replacing a dual-swing arm assembly or a corroded harness, can reach $425 to $750 depending on parts and the condition of the gate structure underneath. The age of the gate matters a lot. A 1980s driveway gate with sagging hinges takes longer to bring into compliance than a 10-year-old gate in good shape. What drives the final number: whether we use OEM or aftermarket parts, whether the NOA label needs re-documentation, and how much structural realignment the hinges and posts require. Every estimate is free, and the price gets quoted and agreed before we start any work. Call (833) 570-5807 for an exact quote on your Ghost Controls system.

FAQs – Ghost Controls Gate Repair in Kendall
Yes, that’s a common failure here. If your Ghost Controls operator runs on AC but dies when the power cuts out, the battery backup module or its charging circuit has likely failed. We test the battery under load and check the charge controller before recommending a fix. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll diagnose it on site.
Yes. Every gate in Kendall falls under Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules, so any repair that touches the gate structure, hinges, or operator mounting must preserve the product approval. We verify the NOA label during every repair and document what we did so your gate passes inspection.
In most cases we can replace just the control board. We stock genuine Ghost Controls boards, and for older models we can source proven aftermarket equivalents. We only recommend a new operator when the unit is over 10 years old and has multiple failing components, at which point repeated repairs cost more than replacement.
The receiver board took a surge. Kendall’s afternoon thunderstorms generate a lot of electrical noise, and Ghost Controls receiver boards are often the first component to fail. We replace the receiver, reprogram your remotes and keypad, and check the antenna connection. The fix is usually faster than the diagnosis. Call us and we’ll get it sorted.
We do it regularly. Kendall has many homes from that era still running original gates and operators. We’ll assess the gate structure first because sagging hinges and shifted posts put strain on the Ghost Controls unit. Then we repair or replace the operator and recalibrate everything to work with the gate as it actually sits. Estimates are free, and the price is set before any work begins.
