Gate installation in Westchester usually means replacing or upgrading a 30-to-50-year-old driveway gate on a 1950s – 1970s ranch home, or adding a modern automatic sliding gate to a newer two-story stucco house. We’re Miami Gate Company, and gates are all we do. We work on virtually any gate system, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free estimate on installation, repair, or full system replacement.
Why Westchester Homes Are Different
Westchester is a dense, unincorporated Miami-Dade suburb where nearly every single-family home has a front driveway gate. That density, combined with the neighborhood’s post-war tract layout, creates a very specific gate profile: mostly aging wrought-iron and aluminum driveway gates on concrete-block ranch homes built between the 1950s and 1970s. Many of those original gates are now 30 to 50 years old, and the subtropical climate hasn’t been kind to them.
Year-round humidity, salt-laden air from nearby Biscayne Bay, and intense afternoon sun work together against gate hardware. Hinges rust, control boards corrode, and motors that sit in direct sun bake until internal components fail. The low-lying driveway aprons common to Westchester’s older homes add another failure point: after a heavy summer downpour, water pools around the gate posts and tracks, and we routinely find shorted control boards where moisture crept past a degraded seal.
The repair demand here skews heavily toward keeping older gates operational rather than replacing them outright. Homeowners and property managers tend to want their existing wrought-iron or aluminum gate brought back to reliable service, not a new installation. That means real component-level work: swapping motors, rebuilding hinge points, rewiring corroded connections, and sealing control boards against the next storm.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Westchester Services
Most calls in Westchester fall into two categories: a gate that won’t open or close properly, and an electric operator that has lost its mind. Both are core work for us. Here’s what each involves in this neighborhood.
Gate Repair in Westchester
Older Westchester gates fail in predictable ways: rusted hinge pins, bent tracks from wind-driven debris, sagging gate leaves, and latch misalignment from shifting concrete. We repair the gate itself first, then check whether the operator is still good. On 1950s-era wrought-iron, we often rebuild hinge assemblies and reinforce weld points rather than push a full replacement. For newer aluminum gates, we straighten tracks and reset rollers that hurricane-season winds knocked loose. Gate Repair in Westchester covers mechanical failures, alignment, and hardware.
Electric Gate Repair in Westchester
Electric gate acting up? We diagnose the motor, board, sensors, and wiring, not just the obvious parts. In Westchester, moisture is the common thread: control boards with failed seals, loop detectors that short after heavy rain, and remote receivers degraded by humidity. We test the photocells, inspect the safety edges, and verify the operator’s torque settings before replacing anything. If your gate opens but won’t close, or runs halfway and reverses, the problem is usually in the control board or limit switches. Electric Gate Repair in Westchester covers the full electrical side, from wall station to motor.

Gate Installation in Westchester
New gate installation in Westchester is usually one of two projects: a homeowner replacing a rusted-out 1970s driveway gate with a modern automatic system, or a newer two-story home getting its first sliding gate. The climate dictates material choices here. Powder-coated aluminum holds up better than raw steel in salt air, and operators need weather-sealed control boards to survive the six-month hurricane season. We measure, quote, and install the entire system from the gate panel to the operator, safety sensors, and keypad.
For a full breakdown of what a new installation involves, see our Gate Installation service page.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re manually opening and closing a gate that should be automated, or an existing operator no longer handles the gate’s weight.
What it costs in Westchester
Automatic gate installation in Westchester typically runs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on gate size, operator type, and whether new electrical service is needed.
How we do it
We survey the driveway, confirm gate weight and swing or slide direction, run the power and control wiring, mount the operator, install safety sensors and keypad, and test the full cycle repeatedly with load adjustments.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The existing driveway gate is rusted through, bent from storm debris, or no longer matches the home after a renovation.
What it costs in Westchester
Driveway gate installation in Westchester typically falls between $3,500 and $9,000 for a single swing or slide gate with manual or automated operation.
How we do it
We remove the old gate, set new posts in concrete sized for the gate’s weight, hang the new panel, align hinges and latch, and set the closing speed if it’s automated.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The driveway is too short or sloped for a swing gate, or the property needs a gate that slides parallel to the fence line.
What it costs in Westchester
Sliding gate installation in Westchester typically runs $5,000 – $14,000 depending on track length, gate weight, and automation package.
How we do it
We install the track or cantilever system, set the gate on rollers, mount the operator rack, wire the motor and safety loops, and calibrate open and close limits.

Do I need a permit to install a gate in Westchester?
Most driveway gate installations in Westchester require a permit through Miami-Dade County, particularly if the gate is automated or if new electrical work is involved. We handle the permit application and coordinate inspections as part of the installation. The specifics depend on whether the gate is swing or slide and where the property line sits.
How long does a gate installation take in Westchester?
A standard automatic driveway gate installation in Westchester typically takes one to three days from post-setting to final programming. Larger custom gates or properties needing new electrical runs can extend the timeline. We confirm the schedule before starting and don’t leave a gate half-hung.

We carry parts and stocked components for Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule operators, and our technicians are trained across nine major gate and operator brands. Most common boards, remotes, and safety edges are available same-week in Westchester, which keeps repair turnarounds short. See our brands for the full list.

What Westchester Customers Say
"Hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
— Arjun Sharma"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
