AfterGate Company in Palm Beach, FL
Gate repair in Palm Beach is a different trade than it is anywhere else in South Florida. The island’s estates weren’t built around a Home Depot catalog. They carry hand-forged wrought iron and cast metalwork from the 1920s and 30s, and the salt air off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal eats at that iron from both sides all year. When a gate fails here, the job usually requires restoration work rather than a parts swap. That’s what we do, and it’s why homeowners call (828) 426-7081 when a Palm Beach gate stops cooperating.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island, with salt-heavy air moving in from the ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other. That means gate hinges, operator arms, and control boards corrode at roughly twice the rate we see in inland communities. Summer thunderstorms add a second failure pattern: lightning strikes are common enough on the island that burned control boards are a routine repair every year.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Palm Beach’s estate gates from the Mizner era and mid-century builds were made by hand. Wrought-iron scrollwork, cast ornamental details, custom hinge posts set into coquina or coral stone. These gates can’t be replaced by catalog panels. Repairing them requires fabrication skill and a commitment to preserving the original design, not just making the gate move again. That’s the baseline any Palm Beach job demands.
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Most Palm Beach homeowners call us about one of two things: a gate that won’t open or close properly, or an automated system that’s stopped responding. Here’s what each job involves on the island.
Gate Repair in Palm Beach
When a Palm Beach gate sags, sticks, or won’t latch, the cause is usually structural: hinge corrosion, a shifted post, or a cracked weld in the original ironwork. We repair what’s there rather than swapping in something new, which matters when the gate predates everyone on the street. Salt-air hinge wear is the most common call we get, and it’s handled with materials built for coastal exposure. Gate Repair in Palm Beach details what a typical repair visit covers.
Electric Gate Repair in Palm Beach
An electric gate that opens on its own, won’t close, or trips the breaker usually points to a limit switch, safety sensor, or wiring problem rather than a mechanical failure. On Palm Beach, we also chase lightning damage and salt creep into junction boxes. The fix involves testing each component in the circuit, not just resetting the opener. See Electric Gate Repair in Palm Beach for the full scope.
Gate Motor Repair in Palm Beach
The gate motor, the box that slides or swings your gate automatically, takes the brunt of coastal air. Salt corrosion on internal contacts and lightning-fried boards are frequent Palm Beach failures. A motor that hums but doesn’t move may need a capacitor or a full motor replacement, depending on age and condition. Read Gate Motor Repair in Palm Beach for specifics on diagnosing and replacing operator hardware.

- Shirley A."The vetted tech thing was important since our gate protects the whole property. Careful, polite, and walked me through every safety sensor."
