AfterGate Company in Cleburne, TX
Warden Gate Repair handles gate work across Cleburne, from the Victorian-era homes near downtown to ranchette parcels east of the city where cattle entries still carry hand-welded pipe gates. The work here splits into two distinct worlds: new ornamental driveway gates on acreage subdivisions pushing out from the DFW edge, and aging agricultural gates that have spent decades fighting Johnson County’s shrink-swell clay. Whatever you have hanging on your posts, we quote a written price before any work starts, and you know exactly who is walking up your drive before they arrive. Call (828) 426-7081 for a free estimate.
Why Cleburne Homes Are Different
Cleburne sits in a transition zone. Inside the city limits you find late-1800s homes with original ironwork, mid-century ranches, and new-construction subdivisions on the fringe. Outside the city, Johnson County turns agricultural fast, and that is where Warden Gate Repair sees a different kind of gate entirely: pipe gates welded from scrap on site, non-standard hinge spacing, post diameters that do not match anything a supply house sells. A basic repair call on those often requires custom fabrication rather than swapping in stock hardware. We send fully stocked trucks with welders for exactly that reason.
The soil here is the real variable. Most of Johnson County sits on deep, expansive black clay. When the clay gets wet, it swells; when it dries, it contracts. Gate posts heave and cant seasonally, which means a gate that latched cleanly in April may drag by August and refuse to close after the first fall rain. Post-reset and hinge realignment calls are more common in Cleburne than in cities with sandy or loamy soil. North Texas ice storms add their own insult, coating operators and hinges in ice that cracks welds and seizes motors, while summer heat bakes rubber seals and warps any wood components on the gate itself.
What this means for a Cleburne homeowner is simple: your gate problem is probably not generic. It is tied to the clay under your posts and the weather your gate has absorbed. We diagnose with that in mind.
Our Main Cleburne Services
Cleburne homeowners call us most often about two things: a gate that will not open or close reliably, and a gate motor that has stopped responding. Each service below has its own Cleburne page with pricing and repair details.
Gate Repair in Cleburne
A failing gate on Cleburne’s clay soil is usually a slow-motion problem: a post starts to lean, a hinge binds, a latch stops lining up. Sometimes the first warning is a gate that groans when it moves or scrapes the ground on the outer edge. Our techs work through hinges, latches, posts, chain-link pull wire, and welded joints, with the truck stocked for both ornamental iron and ranch-style pipe work. The number of ranchette owners who welded their own entries means we frequently fabricate custom hinge plates on site rather than trying to force standard parts onto non-standard posts. See Gate Repair in Cleburne for pricing and what a typical repair day looks like.
Electric Gate Repair in Cleburne
Electric gates add a control board, safety sensors, and power supply to every mechanical problem a manual gate already has. Cleburne’s ice storms and summer heat hit these components hard: frozen operators that burn themselves out fighting the ice, UV-brittle wiring, safety edge sensors that fail after a few seasons of sun. When a Cleburne homeowner’s automated gate stops responding to remotes or keypads, the cause is rarely just one part. Our diagnostic covers the board, the motor, the branch wiring to the keypad and loop detector, and the physical gate itself before a repair gets recommended. More on Electric Gate Repair in Cleburne.
Gate Motor Repair in Cleburne
The gate motor, the box that slides or swings your gate automatically, works harder in Cleburne than in most places. That same black clay that heaves posts also applies constant small changes in gate alignment, which forces the motor to push against extra resistance every cycle. Over time that overheats the motor, strips gears, and shortens its life. We service swing-arm and slide operators from the brands listed below, carry common parts on the truck, and when a motor is beyond saving, we give you a written replacement price before ordering anything. See Gate Motor Repair in Cleburne for full details.

Pricing for Gate Company in Cleburne, TX
| Service | Typical range in Cleburne |
|---|---|
| Gate repair diagnostic and minor adjustment | $95 – $175 |
| Hinge replacement (standard residential) | $180 – $340 |
| Post reset or realignment | $275 – $600 |
| Latch and lock replacement | $120 – $260 |
| Electric gate control board replacement | $380 – $750 |

| Custom weld repair on ranch pipe gates | $150 – $450 |
What pushes a Cleburne job toward the top of these ranges is usually the clay. A post that has canted badly may need excavation and a deeper concrete footer, not just a shim. A gate that has been scraping for two seasons may have wallowed-out hinges that bent the gate frame itself, adding weld time and straightening work. Whatever the final number, you get it in writing before any work starts, and that price does not change unless you approve a new work order.

What Cleburne Customers Say
"Fair price and no pushing a whole new gate when all I needed was a new motor capacitor."
- Shirley A."The vetted tech thing was important since our gate protects the whole property. Careful, polite, and walked me through every safety sensor."
- Russell W."Swing gate wouldn't latch after the hinge sagged. He re-hung it, adjusted the hinge pins, and fixed the latch. Quoted before starting."
