Every fence needs a way in. We build swing and sliding gates that match your fence line and open smoothly for years to come.
A gate gets used far more than any other section of a fence, so it's usually the first thing to fail if it isn't built right. We treat gates as their own piece of engineering: proper post bracing, hardware rated for the gate's size and weight, and a swing or slide path that stays true over years of daily use.
We build both swing gates (single or double leaf, for driveways and walk-throughs) and sliding gates for wider openings or sites where swing clearance is tight. Every gate is framed and finished to match the fence it's attached to, so it reads as part of the fence line, not an add-on.
Gates can be built alongside a new fence or added to an existing one, and we'll look at your current fence and posts first to see whether they can carry new gate hardware. That covers driveway and walk-through gates, swing and sliding styles, reinforced posts and bracing, and hardware matched to the gate.
Gates are built to suit the fence they sit in, so they can be made to work with any of these five materials. If you're adding a gate to an existing line, we'll match it as closely as we can.

Gates open and close far more often than any panel gets touched, so hardware and post strength matter more here than anywhere else on the fence line.
Proper bracing and hinge selection help avoid the most common gate complaint: one that drops, drags, or won't latch after a season or two.
A well-built gate is what actually secures a property or worksite; the rest of the fence just defines the line.
A gate that's mismatched or poorly fitted stands out immediately. Matching material, spacing, and finish ties the whole fence together.
Swing gates suit most driveways and walkways where there's clearance for the gate to open. Sliding gates tend to work better on tighter sites, steep driveways, or wider openings where a swing arc isn't practical. We'll talk through which fits your opening.
In most cases, yes. We'll check that your existing posts can carry new gate hardware; if they can't, reinforcing or resetting them can be worked into the job.
Usually it comes down to undersized posts, hinges rated below the gate's actual weight, or bracing that wasn't set up correctly to begin with. Sizing the hardware to the gate goes a long way toward avoiding it.
That's the goal. Panel type, wood stain, and spacing are matched to the adjoining fence line so the gate doesn't stand out as a separate piece.
