Why Latch & Post Gate Repair Is Tamiami’s Preferred Gate Repair Company

We’re a Cedarwell-family gate specialist, not a general handyman service. Latch & Post Gate Repair has focused on one thing since 2009: the latch that holds the gate and the post that carries it. Homeowners in Tamiami call us because our technicians show up in uniform, lay down drop cloths before touching anything near the house, and hand you a written price before a single tool comes out of the truck.

Every repair and installation we do in Tamiami carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No argument, no fine print. Our technicians are background-checked and factory-trained on the brands families actually own here, including FAAC, BFT, and Linear. And when you call at 2 a.m. because a gate won’t close and the dog is out, a live person answers. Not a voicemail. Not a callback queue.

Cody Beckman, who leads our team, insists on one standard for every job in Tamiami: clean floors, straight answers, and a gate that works through the wet season. We schedule around nap time when it matters, we use pet-safe lubricants where there’s a choice, and we photograph the cleanup before we leave.

Wrought Iron Gate Repair in Tamiami

Wrought Iron Gate Repair in Tamiami almost always comes down to what the canal-adjacent groundwater has done to the metal. The ornate rejas that frame so many homes west of 87th Avenue are beautiful, but they wick moisture up from the base at a rate that surprises people who haven’t dealt with it before. Hinges seize, lower scrollwork rusts through, and the whole panel starts pulling away from the post.

Our approach starts with the footing and the hinge line, not just the visible rust. We replace corroded hinge posts, realign the panel so it clears the ground through the wet months, and treat the metal with corrosion-resistant coatings suited to Tamiami’s humidity. Most wrought iron repairs here run between $225 and $650 depending on how far the corrosion has traveled into the structure.

Rusted hinge and scrollwork repair

When lower scrollwork rusts through on a canal-lot gate, patching it with a weld only buys a season or two. We remove the rusted section, weld in matching steel, and treat the repair so it doesn’t become a rust line by next June. What matters in Tamiami is whether water can get in behind the repair, and we seal it accordingly.

Seized hinge and sag correction

A gate that sags on one side but looks fine in the middle is almost always telling you the hinge post has shifted or rotted below the soil line. On Tamiami lots that back onto drainage canals, that’s the standard story. We set a raised footing where needed and re-hang the panel so it swings clean instead of dragging through the grass.

Metal Gate Repair in Tamiami

Metal Gate Repair in Tamiami covers the work we do on heavier, solid-infilled driveway gates and the framing that carries them. Many homes in this part of Miami-Dade have solid or near-solid metal gates for privacy and hurricane protection, and those panels put serious load on the operator and the posts. When the ground is saturated from June through October, even a properly installed post will begin to move.

We see the same failure chain repeated on canal lots: the post leans a half inch, the gate drags, the operator burns itself out fighting the resistance, and then the whole system stops. We address it in order: footing, post, panel alignment, and only then the motor. Typical metal gate repair in Tamiami runs $200 to $600, and you’ll always see the exact number in writing before we begin.

Solid panel realignment

A solid metal panel that’s dragging on the driveway is often still salvageable if we catch it before the post fails completely. We realign the panel, re-seat the hinges, and adjust the operator’s force settings so it isn’t fighting the gate anymore. The goal in Tamiami is a gate that clears the ground in August, not just on the day we leave.

Post and footing repair in wet ground

This is the repair that separates Tamiami from almost everywhere else in Miami-Dade. The water table here sits close enough to the surface that standard post footings get undermined after a few flood events. We pour raised, properly anchored footings and seal the base of the post so groundwater can’t travel up into the metal.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tamiami

We’re factory-trained on the equipment already installed in Tamiami homes, including FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking. Most parts for these brands are stocked locally through our Miami South FL office, which means we don’t wait a week for a control board to ship. When a LiftMaster operator fails after a flood, we can often have the board in hand and installed the same visit. You won’t hear a technician mumble something vague about ordering parts. You’ll hear what’s wrong, what it costs, and when we’re fixing it.

Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Tamiami Homes

• Groundwater-saturated post footings: Canal-adjacent lots sit in wet soil for months at a time, and the post loosens even when nothing hit the gate. We replace and re-seat the post rather than just tightening the hinge and hoping it holds through the next storm.
• Flooded operator boards: Wet-season floodwater reaches control boards and motors on low lots, shorting them out mid-travel. We rebuild operators inside waterproofed enclosures and raise them where the lot allows.
• Corroded rejas infill: The ornate wrought iron security gates common in Tamiami trap moisture at scroll joints and rust from the inside out. We cut out and replace sections before the panel loses structural integrity.
• HVHZ wind-load issues: Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code requires automated driveway gates to meet wind-load standards that don’t apply in Broward or Collier. Non-compliant repairs can trigger a county code violation, so we repair and reinforce to spec the first time.
