Gate repair in Pasadena runs about $185 to $640 depending on whether it’s a warped wood gate on a 1920s bungalow, a seized motor on a hillside estate, or a bent track on a steel driveway gate. What makes every Pasadena job different is the housing: century-old Craftsmans with original ornamental iron, narrow driveways in Bungalow Heaven, and hillside lots in Linda Vista where a gate has to handle a serious slope. Call us at (626) 657-5425 and we’ll give you a written price before anyone starts working.
Why Pasadena Homes Are Different
Pasadena’s oldest neighborhoods were built when driveways were designed for one car and gates were hand-fitted to each opening. That means a warped wood gate on a Craftsman in the Historic Highlands often needs repair, not replacement, because the city’s preservation guidelines expect the original design and materials to stay. In Bungalow Heaven and along streets like San Rafael Avenue, we keep period-appropriate hinges, latches, and gate pull hardware on our trucks so a repair doesn’t end up looking like a modern patch on a 100-year-old gate.
The climate does its own damage. Hot, dry summers and Santa Ana winds crack and fade wood gates within a few seasons. What surprises most Pasadena homeowners is the dust: with so little humidity, fine dust settles into gate tracks and rollers, and a gate that slid fine in June starts shuddering by October. On hillside properties, especially those in Annandale or the San Rafael hills, a gate also carries more load than flat-land gates do, so springs, hinges, and motors wear faster. A standard residential motor that lasts a decade on a flat Alhambra lot might need attention sooner up a Pasadena grade. Every quote we give accounts for these local conditions, not just the brand name on the gate.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pasadena Services
These are the three services Pasadena homeowners call about most often. Each has its own page with deeper local detail and specific pricing.
Gate Repair in Pasadena
This covers the gate itself: sagging wood, bent steel or aluminum frames, broken hinges, cracked posts, misaligned tracks, and latches that no longer catch. In Pasadena, many of these gates are original to homes built before 1940, which means we source period-appropriate hardware rather than bolting on whatever fits. On a hillside lots in Linda Vista, a sagging gate often points to a deeper issue with the post footing, so we check what the gate is anchored into, not just the visible hardware. Gate Repair in Pasadena covers the full scope.
Electric Gate Repair in Pasadena
Electric gate work in Pasadena often involves older openers retrofitted onto historic gates, which creates its own set of wiring quirks. We diagnose the full system: the opener, safety sensors, keypad, intercom, and the physical gate itself. In homes near the Arroyo or in neighborhoods with older panels, power surges and aging wiring are more common, so we test the whole circuit before replacing a part. Cole Rafferty and the team carry parts for LiftMaster, FAAC, and BFT systems and give the written price before starting. Electric Gate Repair in Pasadena has the details.
Gate Motor Repair in Pasadena
Gate motor repair is what we do when the box that slides or swings your gate is running but the gate isn’t moving, or the motor hums and trips, or the gate opens halfway and stops. In Pasadena, hillside installs put more strain on motors than the manufacturer’s flat-lot spec assumes, so we look at duty cycle and arm geometry as part of the diagnosis. Many Pasadena homes with gates installed in the 2000s and 2010s are at the age where motor capacitors and limit switches start failing. Gate Motor Repair in Pasadena breaks down the fixes and costs.

FAQs About Gate Company in Pasadena

Call (626) 657-5425 and we’ll tell you exactly when a technician can be there, and who is coming.

What Pasadena 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."
