We’re Miami Gate Company, and we provide independent Ghost Controls gate repair across Kendale Lakes, FL, plus Kendall West Ghost Controls service. If your Ghost Controls operator stopped working after a storm, won’t close fully, or the keypad quit responding, we diagnose it at the component level: control board, limit switches, arm alignment, receiver. The difference here: most Ghost Controls operators in Kendale Lakes sit on HOA-governed properties, and that changes how repairs get done. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free estimate.

Why Kendale Lakes Residents Choose Us for Ghost Controls Service
We’ve worked on Ghost Controls Heavy-Duty Series, Light-Duty Series, and Solar-Compatible operators across Kendale Lakes for years, and we know where these units fail in this specific climate. Salt-laden air eats battery terminals. Humidity creeps into keypad housings. Storm-season wind knocks arms out of alignment. Our technicians trace the actual fault before swapping anything, because throwing parts at a gate operator wastes your money and your time.
Ruben Castellano, our owner, grew up around mechanical systems in Hialeah, spent years at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus studying motors and control circuits, and has spent the better part of two decades diagnosing gate failures across Miami-Dade. He’ll tell you: if you don’t know exactly what failed, you’re just guessing with someone else’s money. That’s how we approach every Ghost Controls repair in Kendale Lakes.
You also don’t get a brand pitch from us. We’re independent. We fix what you have when it makes sense to fix it, and we tell you straight when replacement is the smarter spend. One specialist for repair, installation, and everything in between.

Common Ghost Controls Gate Repair Problems We Solve in Kendale Lakes
- Corroded control boards after summer storms. Kendale Lakes gets pounded with afternoon thunderstorms from June through October. Water finds its way into operator housings, and the control board is the first casualty. We replace boards with OEM Ghost Controls units or sealed aftermarket equivalents when OEM is backordered.
- Intermittent operation from salt-air corrosion on battery terminals and wiring harnesses. You’re not on the beach, but this is still South Florida. The salt in the air here is enough to corrode terminals over a few seasons. We clean and replace terminals, then seal the connections so the problem doesn’t come back in six months.
- Limit switch drift and gate arm misalignment from wind load. A Ghost Controls arm that’s been catching hurricane-season gusts will drift off its limit settings. The gate stops short, or it slams past the close point. We realign the arm, reset the limits, and torque the mounting hardware to spec.
- Keypad and remote receiver failures from humidity and direct sun. Exterior keypads in Kendale Lakes bake in the sun all afternoon, then get hit with 90% humidity at night. The membrane degrades, the receiver stops reading remotes, and you’re stuck. We replace the access control module and seal the housing properly.
- HOA-governed entry gate failures affecting dozens of homes. When a subdivision entry gate running a Ghost Controls operator goes down off SW 147th Avenue, it’s not one homeowner who’s stuck. We coordinate with HOA boards, work within their vendor requirements, and get the gate back up without security gaps.
Ghost Controls Service in Kendale Lakes: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Kendale Lakes is a gate-heavy planned community built mostly between the 1970s and 1990s, and that matters for Ghost Controls repair work in a way it doesn’t in, say, a The Crossings Ghost Controls service area or a rural location. The housing stock here is overwhelmingly single-family homes and townhomes with driveway gates, pool gates, and community entry gates, many still running first-replacement or even original operators. These are not new installs. They’re aging units that have survived two or three decades of South Florida humidity, salt air, and hurricane seasons. What we see repeatedly in Kendale Lakes is a specific failure pattern: the operator works fine all winter, then after the first heavy summer storms, the control board corrodes, the keypad lets water in, and the gate goes down. At subdivision entry gates serving hundreds of homes, that failure becomes a community problem, not just a household one. The good news: most of these Ghost Controls units are repairable when the fault is caught early. When it’s not, we tell you honestly and give you a replacement quote.
Ghost Controls Models & Products We Service in Kendale Lakes
We service the full Ghost Controls lineup, including the Heavy-Duty Series like the TDS2, the Light-Duty Series like the TSS1, and the Solar-Compatible Series for gates without a nearby power source. For parts, we use OEM Ghost Controls components for control boards, arms, and receivers when they’re available, because those are the parts where tolerances matter most. For batteries, keypads, and hardware, we keep high-quality aftermarket equivalents stocked locally so we’re not waiting on a backorder when your gate is down. That means faster turnaround for Kendale Lakes repairs.
Our Ghost Controls work here includes electric gate repair, keypad entry programming and replacement, and battery backup installation for hurricane season.

AfterGhost Controls Service Pricing in Kendale Lakes
What you’ll pay depends on what failed and which Ghost Controls model you have. A keypad or remote receiver replacement runs less than a control board swap. A full arm realignment with limit reset sits in the middle. A control board replacement on a TDS2 is the bigger-ticket repair, and at that point we’ll walk you through whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your unit’s age and condition. Every estimate is free, and the price is quoted and agreed before any work starts. You won’t get a bill bigger than the number we discussed. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll come out, diagnose it, and give you the real number.

FAQs – Ghost Controls Gate Repair in Kendale Lakes
Water intrusion in the control board is the most likely cause, especially if the operator worked fine before the storm. Kendale Lakes gets intense summer downpours, and even a sealed housing can let moisture in over time. We diagnose the board first, then check the keypad and arm. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll confirm what actually failed.
Yes. We work with HOA boards and property managers in Kendale Lakes to integrate Ghost Controls keypads and intercoms with existing community access-control systems, and we offer the same Ghost Controls service in Country Walk for their HOA standards. We coordinate the repair around the HOA’s standards, not around what’s easiest for us. Call (833) 570-5807 to discuss your community’s setup.
We install battery backup systems that keep your Ghost Controls operator running during power outages, which in Kendale Lakes means after a hurricane or a bad summer storm. A gate that won’t open because the power’s out is a real security issue. We size the battery to your operator and test it under load before we leave.
It could be either, and intermittent signals are usually the receiver, not the remote, especially in Kendale Lakes where humidity and direct sun degrade receiver modules faster than the remotes themselves. We test the receiver’s signal with a fresh remote before recommending a replacement, so you don’t buy a new remote only to find the receiver was the problem. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free diagnosis.
It depends on the arm and the extent of the bend. A slight misalignment from wind load can typically be corrected by resetting the limits and adjusting the arm. A physically bent arm usually needs replacement, and we’ll quote you both options so you can decide. The price is agreed before any work starts. Call (833) 570-5807 and we’ll assess it in person.
