Gate repair in Lighthouse Point usually runs $165 – $485 depending on whether it’s a hinge, a motor, or a full opener rebuild, and most jobs are done in one visit. We’re Calder Gate Repair, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we work on the specific things Lighthouse Point homes throw at gates: salt air on canal-front lots, older galvanized steel, and HOAs that want everything to match. Call (754) 354-2542 and a live person answers, 24/7.
Why Lighthouse Point Homes Are Different
Lighthouse Point sits on a peninsula between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, which means the air is always doing something to metal. Gates facing the canals take the worst of it. Hinges rust faster, the lower rails on swinging gates start flaking galvanized coating within a few years, and opener arms seize if they aren’t lubricated on a schedule. Homes here are mostly single-family builds from the 1950s through the 1990s, many on large lots with custom gates hung decades ago. Those older gates are often wrought iron or galvanized steel. Both corrode in this environment. Newer installations tend toward aluminum or stainless, which hold up better but still need hinge and track maintenance.
There’s also the HOA reality. Lighthouse Point has an active code enforcement presence and many communities have architectural review standards. A gate repair that changes the look of a driveway entrance, even slightly, can trigger a violation letter. That’s why we match hardware and finishes instead of slapping on whatever bracket fits. The goal is the gate looks the same as it did before, just functional again.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Lighthouse Point Services
Most calls we get in Lighthouse Point fall into three areas: mechanical gate repairs, electric component work, and opener failures. Each has its own page with pricing and timing detail.
Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point
Mechanical gate work covers hinges, wheels, tracks, sagging gates, bent posts, and the physical movement of the gate itself. On canal-front lots, we regularly replace bottom hinge sets that have been eaten by salt spray. A gate that’s scraping the driveway or listing to one side is usually a hinge or wheel problem, and it’s worth fixing before it pulls the opener out of alignment. Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point covers what we check and what it costs.
Electric Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point
Electric gate issues include dead keypads, phone entry systems that won’t buzz, sensors that stop reading, and wiring that’s taken on water or corroded. Lighthouse Point’s hurricane season does a number on low-voltage lines and connector points, especially where wiring runs underground near the water table. Electric Gate Repair in Lighthouse Point gets into the diagnostics.
Gate Opener Repair in Lighthouse Point
Opener problems fall into two categories: the motor itself, or the control board and limit switches, the small sensors that tell the gate where to stop. Power surges after storms are a leading cause of board failures here. If the motor hums but the gate doesn’t move, or the gate stops mid-travel and reverses, the opener needs attention. Gate Opener Repair in Lighthouse Point explains the repair process.

Salt-air corrosion is the biggest price mover in Lighthouse Point. A hinge that’s seized or a post that’s rotted at the base adds labor and sometimes requires a bracket retrofit. The other variable is gate construction, heavier wrought iron takes longer to work on than aluminum. Whatever the condition, you get a written price before anything starts, and that number doesn’t change at the door.
