AfterGate Company in Everman, TX
Everman gates fail in predictable ways, and the reason usually sits below the surface. Most homes here were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and the original gate posts went into shallow concrete plugs that Tarrant County’s expansive clay soil shoves around with every wet spring and dry summer. That’s why we see so many gates dragging, binding, or swinging open on their own across Everman. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, a Cedarwell-family gate specialist, and we fix the post problem rather than just the symptom. Every job starts with a written price, and we answer the phone when you call (626) 649-4572.
Why Everman Homes Are Different
Expansive clay is the defining material of Everman. It shrinks hard during July and August, when 100°F days pull moisture out of the ground and open cracks you can drop a pencil into. Then a heavy rain swells the clay, and gate posts set in shallow footings ride upward. Local installers call the original footings “coffee-can footings” because they’re about that size, and after a wet spring a post can heave two or three inches. The gate scrapes the ground, the latch misses the strike, or the whole frame goes out of square and binds against the post.
The housing here is modest single-family stock, and a lot of it still carries chain-link or basic tubular steel gates from the original build. The hinges, drop rods, and latch posts on those gates have decades of deferred maintenance behind them. The February 2021 hard freeze didn’t help, either. Weld points that summer heat had already fatigued took a sudden shock load, and small cracks became breaks. A proper fix in Everman means deep footings that reach below the active clay layer, plus hardware rated for the weight of the gate. Reset the post shallow and the same gate will be heaving again in two or three years.
Our Main Everman Services
Everman homeowners call us most often for two things: getting a sagging gate working again, and replacing old stock with something that holds up to the clay. Here’s what each service involves.
Gate Repair in Everman
Most repair calls in Everman trace back to post movement from expansive clay redistributing weight onto the hinges and latch. We reset the post with a deep footing below the active soil layer, then replace worn hinges, straighten the frame, and set the latch so it closes cleanly. On chain-link gates we’ll replace the tension bands and post caps while we’re there. It’s a full fix, not a shim job that fails next season. Details on our process are on the Gate Repair in Everman page.
Gate Installation in Everman
A new gate in Everman should be engineered for clay soil from the first pour. We dig footings below the shrink-swell zone, set the posts in concrete, and build the gate to the opening just as it is, not as the original builder planned it. Whether you’re replacing a bowed chain-link panel or moving to ornamental steel, we quote the full scope in writing, including the clean-up and haul-away of old material. See the Gate Installation in Everman page for how we approach new builds.
Electric Gate Repair in Everman
Electric gates fail any time the gate itself moves out of tolerance. The opener’s safety edges and limits read that movement as resistance or a false obstruction, and suddenly the gate stops mid-cycle or reverses on its own. We check the post alignment first, then the operator’s travel limits, safety edges, and control board. If the posts aren’t plumb, no arm adjustment will fix it. The troubleshooting sequence is described in more depth on the Electric Gate Repair in Everman page.

FAQs About Gate Company in Everman
Yes. We dig to reach below the active shrink-swell layer, set the post in a deep concrete footing, and let it cure before re-hanging the gate. Without that depth, a post in Everman will heave again every few years. It’s the standard we apply on every job that touches a post.
Most standard gate repairs and direct replacements don’t require a permit, but new installations that include concrete footings or automation may.
