AfterGate Company in Wells Branch, TX
We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, and we work on gates throughout Wells Branch, TX every week. Homes here were mostly built between 1983 and 1998, which means the original cedar swing gates and wood privacy fences are now hitting 30 to 40 years old. When black-clay soil shifts through Texas wet and dry cycles, gate posts heave, latches stop lining up, and what looks like a minor sag turns out to be rot at the base. If you need a gate looked at in Wells Branch, call us at (626) 649-4572 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Wells Branch Homes Are Different
Wells Branch isn’t just another Austin suburb. It’s a master-planned community governed by the Wells Branch Community Development Corporation, which enforces deed restrictions and appearance standards on fences and gates. That single fact changes how every gate job should be approached. A homeowner who swaps a rotted wood gate for a metal or vinyl one without checking CDC standards can be told to remove it. So before we order a single part, we confirm the material and finish are compatible with community rules.
The housing stock adds another layer. Nearly every street is lined with single-family homes from roughly the same construction era, all sharing the same original wood privacy gates. That means the problems repeat: rot at post bases, sagging hinges, warped frames. The uniform build era makes Wells Branch jobs predictable, but the CDC layer is the part no generic gate company thinks to check. We do. It saves families a costly removal and redo.
Our Main Wells Branch Services
Most Wells Branch homeowners call us for one of three things: a sagging gate that won’t latch, a full replacement, or an electric opener that’s stopped responding. Each has its own page with local details.
Gate Repair in Wells Branch
Repair work in Wells Branch usually comes down to wood that’s spent 30 years in Texas sun and clay soil. Post bases rot below ground level, hinges pull out of softened wood, and latches drift out of alignment as the ground moves. We reset posts in concrete, replace rotted sections, and realign frames so the gate swings and closes like it should. Full details are on our Gate Repair in Wells Branch page.
Gate Installation in Wells Branch
When a gate is beyond saving, replacement is the better math. In Wells Branch, that means choosing materials that meet CDC deed restrictions before anything gets ordered. We install cedar and treated wood gates that fit the neighborhood’s original look, and we can discuss metal options where the community standards allow it. See how we handle the full process on our Gate Installation in Wells Branch page.
Electric Gate Repair in Wells Branch
Electric gates in Wells Branch fail in predictable ways: control boards cook in the summer heat, safety sensors drift out of alignment, and opener arms strain against posts that have shifted in the clay. Our technicians are factory-trained on the brands local homes actually have, so the right fix usually happens on the first visit. That work is covered in detail on our Electric Gate Repair in Wells Branch page.

What Wells Branch Customers Say
"The gate screeched and dragged. They fixed the track and oiled it, and wiped down everything after so there was no mess. Quiet and kind, in and out without any fuss."
- Opal Reddick"Our gate opener quit and they came out quick. The tech was careful not to leave the yard open while our dog was out, which I really appreciated. Clean work, swept up the metal shavings."
- Eleanor Boggs"New hinges welded on a heavy gate. They laid down protection so no sparks hit the driveway and cleaned every bit after. Respectful of the property and the result is solid."
