Thinking about adding a new gate or replacing an old one? Real Gate & Garage Door installs driveway gates, automatic gates, iron gates, and commercial security gates in our service area. We help you choose the right gate type, material, and operator for your property and budget.
Our installation process starts with a free on-site assessment. We evaluate your driveway width, slope, and surface, discuss your security and aesthetic goals, and recommend options in your price range. We work with iron, aluminum, wood, and vinyl gate materials, and we partner with leading manufacturers for automatic gate operators.
Gate installation typically requires a permit for new installations. We handle the permit coordination and ensure all work meets California building codes and your HOA requirements where applicable.
Not sure if you need repair or a new gate? If your existing gate can be repaired reliably at a reasonable cost, we'll tell you so — honestly. We don't push installations when repair is the better choice.
