Miami Gate Company installs and services residential and commercial gates throughout Westwood Lake, FL, with a focus on the aluminum slide and swing gates that front so many homes in this dense southwest Miami-Dade pocket. Most of our Westwood Lake installation work involves replacing original mid-century gates and retrofitting manual driveways with automation built for South Florida’s salt air and hurricane wind load. We see more single-leaf and double-leaf driveway systems here than ornamental estate gates, and that shapes how we spec operators, hinges, and tracks. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free estimate on anything from a new automatic driveway gate to a full perimeter replacement.
Why Westwood Lake Homes Are Different
Westwood Lake is a heavily Cuban-American, densely developed unincorporated area of southwest Miami-Dade where most single-family homes sit behind a perimeter gate, whether it’s a driveway gate, a courtyard enclosure, or a full-property barrier. The housing stock runs mid-century to late-20th-century, much of it ranch and Spanish-style block and stucco construction, and a lot of those homes still carry their original gate frames and fencing. We routinely find rusted steel posts, sagging frames, and older manual gates that were never designed for automation but now need a retrofit. The repair-not-replace mindset here is strong, and most customers want us to bring a 40-year-old gate back into service rather than tear it out.
The climate does real work on gate hardware this close to the coast. South Florida heat, humidity, and salt air accelerate corrosion on hinges, fasteners, and operator internals. Tropical storms add impact damage, bent tracks, and post-storm alignment failures. And because Westwood Lake yards get year-round maintenance, gate tracks and rollers constantly fill with grass clippings, sand, and storm debris. Our technicians regularly find gates that have been stuck for months simply because the bottom track is packed solid, a failure mode we see far less in cooler, drier inland cities. Knowing what breaks here and why is the whole job.

Our Main Westwood Lake Services
Two services account for most of what Westwood Lake homeowners and property managers call us about, and each has its own dedicated page covering the work in more detail.
Gate Repair in Westwood Lake
Repair work in Westwood Lake usually means dealing with years of accumulated sun, salt, and daily use. We straighten bent slide tracks, rebuild rusted steel posts, replace worn rollers and hinges, and realign sagging frames. A gate that scrapes the driveway or refuses to latch is often a track or hinge problem, not a full replacement situation, and our brand-agnostic approach means we fix what you have rather than pushing a new system. For specifics on common failures and what repair jobs cost in the 33165 ZIP, see the full breakdown at Gate Repair in Westwood Lake.
Electric Gate Repair in Westwood Lake
When an automatic gate in Westwood Lake won’t open, cycles erratically, or reverses for no reason, the fault is usually in the motor, control board, safety sensors, or wiring, and we diagnose at the component level rather than guessing at the obvious part. Salt air eats at circuit boards and terminal connections here, and storm-season power surges knock out older boards with some regularity. Our technicians work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule systems. For a deeper look at board-level electric repair, see Electric Gate Repair in Westwood Lake.

Gate Installation in Westwood Lake
Most Gate Installation work in Westwood Lake is either replacing a mid-century gate that has finally rusted past the point of sensible repair, or automating a manual gate that was never built for a motor. The climate matters at every step: we spec powder-coated and stainless hardware where this salt air would eat ordinary zinc plating in a few years, and we anchor posts for hurricane-season wind load rather than a calm-day standard. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free measure and a written price before any work starts. New installs are measured, ordered, and scheduled, never rushed. For the full scope of our installation work across South Florida, see Gate Installation.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re opening and closing a heavy driveway gate by hand every day, or an existing operator has failed beyond a board-level fix and the gate itself is still sound.
What it costs in Westwood Lake
Full automation retrofits in Westwood Lake typically run $2,500 to $7,500 installed once the track, hinges, and operator are all factored in.
How we do it
We assess gate weight and travel, spec an operator from the right brand for the load and duty cycle, install and align the track or arm, run the power and safety sensors, and program remotes and keypads.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate is rusted through at the posts, sagging far enough to drag, or too narrow for modern vehicles and no longer worth patching.
What it costs in Westwood Lake
A new single swing or slide driveway gate with posts and hardware typically lands between $1,800 and $8,000 depending on width, material, and automation.
How we do it
We measure the opening, set new posts or columns at the right depth for wind load, hang the gate with adjustable hinges or build a slide track, and finish with latching, stops, and any requested automation.

Most residential installs take one to two days on site once materials are in. Custom or large commercial gates can run longer, and we give you a written schedule with the quote. Call (833) 570-5807 for a free measure.

What Westwood Lake 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
