Gate installation in Palm Beach is rarely a simple bolt-in job. Most properties here are Mediterranean Revival or Mizner-era estates behind masonry walls and custom wrought-iron or wood gates, many of them decades old, ornate, and built to dimensions no off-the-shelf operator fits. Salt-laden Atlantic air corrodes ironwork, seizes hinges, and stresses anchors, so installation work means retrofitting to what exists, fabricating when needed, and choosing hardware that won’t fail in twelve months. Miami Gate Company has served Palm Beach since 2012. We work on virtually any gate system, whatever brand you have, and we install everything from first-time driveway gates to full electric operators on existing estate entries. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free estimate.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
Palm Beach is a barrier-island town of estates, walled compounds, and gated drives, and the gate work here has almost nothing in common with suburban driveway repair. The housing stock runs to large Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Colonial, and Mizner-era estates plus newer custom mansions, and nearly every property sits behind masonry walls, hedges, and a custom iron or wood gate rather than a standard operator. Many of those gates are decades old and non-standard, so parts often have to be fabricated or retrofitted to match existing hinges, latch hardware, and post spacing.
The climate is the other constant. Salt air and high humidity corrode ironwork year round, and hurricane-season wind and storm surges add structural stress to frames, anchors, and operator mounts. Repairs spike after tropical storms and again during the winter season when seasonal owners return and find gates that seized while the house was empty. Gates facing the lake or ocean side corrode noticeably faster than interior lots, and many estates need work coordinated through property managers while owners are away for the off-season. Installers here need to understand historic hardware, estate schedules, and discretion as much as they understand motors.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Most Palm Beach homeowners and estate managers call us for one of two things: a gate that has stopped moving, or an electric gate whose automation has failed. Both are covered below, with dedicated Palm Beach pages for each.
Gate Repair in Palm Beach
Mechanical gate repair in Palm Beach usually means restoring an older estate gate to smooth operation. Hinges seize from salt corrosion, wrought iron sags, latch hardware wears, and frames shift after storms. We repair and reinforce gates, fabricate replacement parts where off-the-shelf pieces don’t match, and rebuild hinge posts and anchors to handle the wind load a barrier-island property takes. Because so many Palm Beach gates are custom, the work is diagnostic first, then structural. Learn more on our Gate Repair in Palm Beach page.
Electric Gate Repair in Palm Beach
Electric gate problems in Palm Beach tend to live in the operator, the control board, the safety sensors, or the wiring, and salt air accelerates every one of those failures. We diagnose the entire system rather than swapping the obvious part, which matters when a corroded sensor wire or a failed loop detector is what is actually shutting the gate down. Most service calls are for gates that won’t open, open halfway, or reverse for no reason. We work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, DoorKing, Mighty Mule, and the other major brands. See our Electric Gate Repair in Palm Beach page for details.

Gate Installation in Palm Beach
Gate installation in Palm Beach means working with what the property already has: a masonry wall, a hedge line, an older custom gate, and a climate that punishes cheap hardware. Most of our installation work here is retrofit, mounting new operators and hardware onto existing estate gates, plus fabrication and reinforcement where decades of salt air have done their work. Some jobs are full replacements, but most Palm Beach properties are keeping the original gate and upgrading what moves it. Electric gate installation is a core competency here, not an add-on, and we handle the motor, control board, safety sensors, and wiring that generalists won’t touch. For full service details, see our Gate Installation page.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want keypad, remote, or phone-app entry, or the existing manual gate has become too heavy or corroded to open comfortably by hand.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Automatic gate installation in Palm Beach typically runs $2,500 to $8,000 depending on operator type, gate weight, and whether posts need reinforcement.
How we do it
We assess the gate’s weight and swing or slide geometry, reinforce posts and hinges as needed, then mount the operator, control board, safety sensors, and access keypad or intercom, and program everything on site.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The existing driveway gate is rotted, sagging, or undersized for the opening, or the property has no gate and the owner wants a secure, wall-matched entry.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Driveway gate installation in Palm Beach typically starts around $3,000 and can exceed $12,000 for custom fabricated iron or heavy wood gates with automation.
How we do it
We measure the opening and existing posts, recommend a gate style and weight that fits the architecture and wind exposure, then fabricate or source the gate, set proper clearances, and install hinges, latch, and stops.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The gate is manually operated but the property needs controlled access, or an existing operator is beyond repair and the whole system warrants replacement wiring and hardware.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Electric gate installation in Palm Beach ranges from $3,200 to $9,500 depending on operator brand, gate weight, and the length of the power and safety sensor runs.
How we do it
We run or verify the power feed, install the operator and control board, set up safety edges and photo eyes, wire the keypad or intercom, and test the full open-close-reverse cycle before we leave.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The driveway is short or steep enough that a swing gate would block the approach, or the existing sliding gate’s track and rollers have failed.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Sliding gate installation in Palm Beach typically runs $3,500 to $11,000 depending on gate length, track condition, and whether a cantilever slider is required.
How we do it
We set or repair the track and roller hardware, align the gate to travel square, then install the operator, safety sensors, and access controls, and test the full cycle under load.

Do I need a permit for a new gate in Palm Beach?
Most Palm Beach gate installations on existing walls or posts don’t require separate permitting, but new posts, footers, or electrical runs can. We verify requirements before work begins and coordinate with the town’s architectural review process when needed.
Can you match an existing custom gate’s style?
Yes. When a Palm Beach estate gate needs replacement panels, hinges, or a full rebuild, we fabricate or source parts that match the original design, finish, and scale rather than bolting on a stock replacement that looks wrong next to the architecture.

What Palm Beach 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
