AfterGate Company in Kendall, FL
Kendall gate work is different because Kendall itself is different: this is one of South Florida’s densest clusters of HOA-governed communities, with thousands of swing and slide gates installed during the 1980s and early 1990s, then rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. That means most gates here sit on poured concrete or CBS columns that have spent decades settling into Kendall’s flat, moisture-heavy limestone substrate. We service the full range: gate repair, gate installation, and electric gate repair. Call (626) 649-4572 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Kendall Homes Are Different
Most of Kendall’s housing stock comes from a single stretch of suburban building, roughly 1980 to the mid-1990s, and a large share of it sits inside master-planned HOA communities like The Hammocks. Those communities standardized on ornamental aluminum and wrought-iron gates mounted on CBS or poured concrete columns. Three decades later, the columns have settled and shifted, and the flat, saturated ground beneath them moves slightly with every wet season. A gate that binds at the latch today may have cleared fine five years ago, because the post has drifted, not because the hinge failed.
Then there’s the climate. Kendall humidity runs above 80 percent much of the year, and the UV exposure is relentless. Circuit boards inside gate operators corrode. Aluminum welds fatigue. Hurricanes, from Andrew onward, have bent frames and sheared motor mounts, and every June through November we see the same surge in storm-related repair calls. On top of that, Miami-Dade County’s post-Andrew wind-load permitting rules mean that some gate replacements need county permits that homeowners across the line in Broward often don’t face. We handle the gate; we’ll also tell you honestly when a permit belongs in the picture.
Our Main Kendall Services
Kendall homeowners call us most about two things: a gate that no longer opens or closes properly, and a gate that needs replacing altogether. Each service has its own Kendall page below.
Gate Repair in Kendall
Most Kendall gate repairs come down to hinges, latches, or the post they’re mounted on. The typical job here starts with a binding gate caused by column settlement, a corroded hinge, or a latch that has drifted out of alignment after years of heavy use. We carry replacement hardware for the brands Kendall homes actually have, and we can usually complete a standard repair in one visit. Full details on what a repair includes, and what it costs, are on our Gate Repair in Kendall page.
Gate Installation in Kendall
A new gate in Kendall isn’t just a swap. The old one has to come out cleanly, the existing columns need to be assessed for settlement and wind-load anchoring, and the new gate has to be hung to swing or slide true on posts that have been in the ground for decades. We measure, order, and schedule properly – this is not same-day work. For the full process and a written price, see Gate Installation in Kendall.
Electric Gate Repair in Kendall
Kendall’s humidity is hard on gate electronics. Operator boards corrode, sensors misread, and motors that have run thousands of cycles past their rated life give out, often in the middle of a storm season. We’re factory-trained on the systems Kendall actually uses, and we stock parts locally to keep turnaround short. See Electric Gate Repair in Kendall for the specifics.

What Kendall Customers Say
"Gate motor died and they replaced it carefully, cleaning every bit of debris off the driveway. Mindful not to leave the yard open with our dog out. Great crew."
- Benson Ide"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."
