AfterGate Company in Ojus, FL
Ojus is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, which means every gate repair here answers to the South Florida Building Code, not a city building department. That changes how we work: wind-load ratings, county permits through DPRD, and hardware that has spent 40 to 60 years in canal-adjacent humidity. If your gate won’t open, sags on its hinges, or the motor stopped responding, call (828) 426-7081 and we’ll send a technician whose name and photo you’ll have before he knocks.
Why Ojus Homes Are Different
Most single-family homes in Ojus were built between the 1960s and 1980s, and a surprising number still run their original wrought-iron swing or sliding driveway gates. That’s 40 to 60 years of South Florida exposure on hinges, posts, and operators that were never designed for it. Homes along the canal network – and there are many, given the South Florida Water Management District drainage system running through this part of Miami-Dade – see rust and hinge corrosion far faster than houses even a half-mile inland. Brackish moisture wicks up from the water, settles into mild-steel hardware, and quietly eats it from the inside out.
Then there’s the storm season. Ojus sits 8 to 10 miles inland, so it doesn’t take the direct coastal hit, but June through September brings lightning that routinely strikes gate operators and blows actuator boards. October and November, after hurricane season, is our busiest window here: gates that were barely holding on before a storm come back bent, off their tracks, or dead at the keypad. We document everything for insurance adjusters and make sure repairs meet Miami-Dade’s wind-load and permitting requirements before you close out a claim.
One more thing to know: any structural gate work in Ojus – posts, concrete, a new frame – requires a permit through the county’s DPRD. A repair that skips this can surface later as a failed inspection during a home sale, and Ojus has an active resale market. We handle the paperwork so you don’t inherit a problem.
Our Main Ojus Services
Homeowners in Ojus call us most often for two situations: a gate that won’t open or close properly, and an electric system that has stopped responding. Each service has its own Ojus page with local pricing, what to expect, and the full specifics.
Gate Repair in Ojus
A 45-year-old swing gate on a canal lot in Ojus usually fails one of three ways: the hinge welds crack, the post shifts out of plumb, or the track fills with debris and the rollers bind. We repair all of it. Our technicians weld, re-hang, and realign on site, and they replace worn hinges, rollers, and posts before a sagging gate becomes a dropped gate. When wind-load ratings are part of the job, we match the original build standard and pull the DPRD permit when structural work requires it. Every repair gets a written price before we start and a full year of coverage under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Gate Repair in Ojus
Electric Gate Repair in Ojus
Electric gates in Ojus fail in predictable patterns: lightning strikes the control board, moisture corrodes the wiring connections, or the safety sensors drift out of alignment. We troubleshoot the whole system, not just the part that stopped, because a board that’s dead today often died from a ground fault upstream. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule equipment, and we stock common boards and sensors locally so many Ojus repairs happen the same day. The written quote covers the full repair, not a diagnostic fee with surprises after. Electric Gate Repair in Ojus
Gate Motor Repair in Ojus
That box at the base of your gate – the gate motor, which slides or swings the gate automatically – works hard in Ojus humidity. Capacitors dry out, gears strip, and limit switches corrode. We replace motors and internal components on all nine major brands, and we bench-test the replacement before it goes back on the post. If lightning took out the board and the motor together, we’ll quote both in one written estimate so you know the total before any work starts. Can’t get the gate open because the motor failed in the closed position? Call us and we’ll walk you through a manual release over the phone while a technician heads your way.

FAQs About Gate Company in Ojus
For scheduled work, we typically reach Ojus homes within one to two hours. Emergency calls are answered by a live person 24/7 and dispatched with no voicemail delay. Your technician’s name and photo are sent before arrival, so you know exactly who’s at the gate.
Most non-structural repairs – hinges, rollers, sensors, control boards, motors – do not require a permit. If we’re replacing posts, pouring concrete, or altering the structure, that work triggers a Miami-Dade DPRD permit with wind-load documentation, and we handle the filing for you.
Some Ojus communities, particularly those with uniform streetscapes, require architectural approval before any visible gate change. We can provide the spec sheet and wind-load documentation your HOA or property manager asks for. Call (828) 426-7081 and describe the work, and we’ll tell you what to expect from your specific community.

What Ojus 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."
- Annette R.
