If your driveway gate has started to drag, catch, or refuse to open, you’re in the right place.

We answer 24/7, with fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday, and we’re familiar with the streets south of FM 78 and around Cibolo Valley. Call (855) 939-0250 for a free estimate.

Why Cibolo Homeowners Call Gate Repair New Braunfels for Gate Repair
Our reputation in Cibolo comes from doing the diagnostic work before the sales pitch. We work on the brand you already have, and when a panel or operator can be corrected instead of replaced, we say so. That matters in a town where most gates are original to the house.
Our technicians have up to 14 years of experience, and every estimate is written and agreed before any work starts. If you’re being quoted a full replacement elsewhere, get a second opinion from our gate repair specialists – a sagging gate is often a post and hinge problem, not a panel problem.
We cover Cibolo neighborhoods around Cibolo Valley, the subdivisions off Green Valley Road, and the growing pocket near Wiederstein Road. We’re a single-trade company: gates only. That focus is why we can tell the difference between a hinge that needs shimming and a post that has moved in the clay.

Gate Welding in Cibolo
Gate Welding in Cibolo usually comes down to a builder-grade metal gate that has cracked at a hinge plate, rusted through at a latch weld, or separated at a frame joint after years of panel drag. On subdivision gates, the metal is thin and the original welds are the weak point, so a repair weld has to be cleaned back and re-plated, not just tacked. A typical gate welding repair in Cibolo runs $150 – $350, depending on how many joints are involved and whether the gate needs to come off the post to be welded properly. The written estimate sets the final price.
What a Repair Weld Covers
A repair weld addresses the joint that failed: a hinge bracket, a latch post, a frame corner. We check the surrounding metal for thinning before welding, because a patch on rusted steel won’t hold.
When Welding Isn’t Enough
If a weld keeps failing on the same joint, the gate is usually flexing because the post has shifted or the panel is out of square. At that point, welding alone is a temporary fix, and we’ll tell you so.
Commercial Gate Repair in Cibolo
Commercial Gate Repair in Cibolo covers the gated entrances at small office parks, storage yards, and the HOA-owned access gates serving the larger subdivisions off FM 78 and Green Valley Road. These are the systems that get used hundreds of times a day, so the failure points are different: operator strain, control board faults, and safety photocells that stop the gate reversing correctly. A typical commercial gate repair in Cibolo runs $250 – $700, depending on whether the fault is mechanical or in the control and electrical side. We work with systems including DoorKing and BFT for barrier and slide installations.
Operator and Control Work
Commercial repair means motor and control board diagnostics as much as mechanical adjustment. Safety photocells, loop detectors, and strike wiring all get checked, because a gate that opens but won’t reverse isn’t repaired.
Access and Liability
For HOA managers, a gate that fails open or stays closed creates access and liability problems. We prioritize making the gate safe and operational, then advise on what the next step should be.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cibolo
We work on the brand you already have, and in Cibolo that’s usually one of the systems installed when the house was built. Whether it’s a LiftMaster swing operator, a Linear slide unit, a BFT or a Viking system, we diagnose the whole gate – mechanical and control – before recommending anything. We don’t stock parts locally and we don’t claim to; if a part needs ordering, we’ll tell you the timeline up front. Brand-agnostic diagnostics mean you’re not pushed toward a replacement because it’s the only system a technician knows. If your operator is discontinued, we’ll give you the honest retrofit-or-replace answer, not the sales pitch.

AfterCommon Gate Repair Problems We See in Cibolo Homes
- Builder-grade hinges and latches that have lost their edge. The original hardware on subdivision driveway gates is now hitting its first major wear cycle, so sag, rust, and a latch that misses the strike are the most common calls we get.
- Control boards on 2000s-era operators that no longer take parts. A discontinued board turns a simple fix into a decision: retrofit a current operator with working safety photocells, or keep chasing a board that can’t be sourced.
- Posts shifting in expansive clay soil. When the ground swells and settles under a post footing, a swing gate goes out of alignment and a slide gate racks off its track – the panel isn’t the problem.
- HOA-driven style and color requirements. Repair jobs in Cibolo’s newer subdivisions often need hardware that matches the original builder installation, so the fix has to stay visually consistent with what the committee approved.
Pricing for Gate Repair in Cibolo, TX
Here’s what gate repair typically costs in Cibolo. A hinge and post repair runs $180 – $450. Gate realignment on a shifted swing gate runs $150 – $400. Lock and latch repair runs $100 – $250. Electric gate repair – motor, control board, or sensor work – runs $200 – $650. A full operator retrofit with new safety photocells runs $800 – $1,800 installed.

FAQs About Gate Repair in Cibolo
It can usually be retrofitted, and that’s often the cheaper answer. When a 2000s-era control board is discontinued, we check whether a current operator can be fitted to the existing motor and arm. If the motor and mechanics are sound, a retrofit with working safety photocells beats chasing an unsourceable board. Call (855) 939-0250 – estimates are free.
Because the hinge isn’t the cause – the post has usually moved. Cibolo’s expansive clay soil swells and settles under gate and fence posts, which throws a swing gate out of alignment. Adjusting hinges on a post that has shifted just fixes the symptom. The post footing has to be corrected, or the gate will drag again. Call (855) 939-0250 for an on-site look.
It will if the repair matches the approved style, color, and hardware. In Cibolo’s master-planned subdivisions, the HOA architectural committee – not the city – often controls which gate style and finish get approved, so a repair can be blocked on paperwork before a wrench is turned. We can match original builder-grade materials so the fix stays consistent. Call (855) 939-0250 if you need the details for your committee.
It’s usually the rack and pinion or the track, not the operator. When a slide gate racks off its track, the gear teeth skip and grind, and the operator strains to compensate. On clay soil, a shifted post is often the root cause. We check the track, the rack, and the operator together before recommending anything. Call (855) 939-0250 for a diagnosis.
