Gate installation in Islamorada means building barriers that survive salt, storm surge, and 140 mph wind load, not just creating privacy. We’re Miami Gate Company, and we’ve installed and repaired gates across the Florida Keys long enough to know that a gate on Plantation Key faces different stresses than one on Upper Matecumbe. If you need a new gate or a fix for an existing one, call (833) 570-5807.
Why Islamorada Homes Are Different
Islamorada is a chain of five keys – Plantation, Windley, Upper and Lower Matecumbe, and Teatable – where nearly every property is canal-front or oceanside. That means almost every gate we touch is a coastal structure. Salt spray eats powder coating and corrodes hinge pins within two to three years if the hardware isn’t marine-grade. Hurricane season brings wind loads that snap undersized posts and storm surge that shorts out underground wiring feeding slide gate operators. Homes here run from 1950s conch-style cottages on the oceanside to elevated stilt homes and modern estates with long concrete driveways and dockage. Many are vacation rentals or second homes that sit empty for months, so a stuck gate can go unnoticed for weeks. The soil is coral-limestone fill and sand, which holds footings differently than the clay we see in Miami, and Monroe County’s wind codes mean gate posts and cantilevered slide gates need engineering that inland Florida contractors rarely consider.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Islamorada Services
Most Islamorada homeowners and property managers call us for two reasons: a gate that stopped working, or an operator that stopped responding. Both are core parts of what we do, and both have their own dedicated Islamorada pages below.
Gate Repair in Islamorada
A salt-corroded hinge or a swing gate that dragged through storm debris won’t fix itself, and on a vacant rental it can sit broken for months until the next guests arrive. Gate repair in Islamorada usually means addressing rusted hardware, misaligned tracks, or posts that shifted in sandy fill. We diagnose the mechanical problem, quote a firm price before any work starts, and rebuild the gate so it opens and closes the way it should. Read the full breakdown here: Gate Repair in Islamorada.
Electric Gate Repair in Islamorada
Salt air is hard on circuit boards, and humidity corrodes wiring connections faster than most people expect. Electric gate repair in Islamorada involves testing the motor, control board, safety sensors, and underground wire runs that often fail after storms or saltwater exposure. We work on virtually any operator brand, and because gates are all we do, diagnosis is fast. Details are here: Electric Gate Repair in Islamorada.

Gate Installation in Islamorada
Gate installation in Islamorada requires building for a marine environment from the first hole we dig. Most of the homes here are older cottages or elevated stilt houses, and the gates are typically custom wrought iron or aluminum planted in coral-limestone fill. A new gate has to handle storm surge, salt spray, and Monroe County wind expectations, which means heavier posts, marine-grade fasteners, and operators rated for coastal exposure. That’s exactly what we do, and it’s the same standard we apply on every Gate Installation we take on.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want a gate that opens without leaving the car, or your existing manual gate has become a hassle on a busy key with constant rental turnover.
What it costs in Islamorada
A complete automatic gate installation in Islamorada typically ranges from $6,500 to $18,000 depending on gate size, operator type, and site conditions.
How we do it
We survey the driveway and soil, set reinforced posts, hang the gate, install the operator and safety sensors, run power, and test the full cycle.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your property lacks a gate, or the existing one is rusting through and no longer secures the driveway or dock access.
What it costs in Islamorada
Driveway gate installation here ranges from $4,000 to $14,000 for a single swing gate, and more for long or paired gates.
How we do it
We take measurements, check for underground utilities, pour concrete footings sized for wind load, mount the gate, and adjust it to swing true.
What Gate Installation Costs in Islamorada
| Item | Typical range in Islamorada |
|---|---|
| Manual swing gate, single | $3,000 – $7,000 |
| Automatic swing gate, single | $6,500 – $12,000 |
| Sliding gate with operator | $8,000 – $18,000 |
Figures include standard equipment and installation labor. Custom wrought iron, long runs of underground power, or coral-rock excavation push the upper end.
How long does a gate installation take in Islamorada?
Most installations take one to three days after site prep and permitting are handled. Custom gates may add fabrication time, which we confirm before work begins.
Do you handle the power run and the safety edges?
Yes. We run the electrical, set the safety edges and photo eyes, and program the operator so the gate meets current safety standards for both residential and commercial use.

What Islamorada Customers Say
"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"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and the office didn't call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
— Javier Mendoza
