AfterGate Company in Lakeway, TX
Lakeway gates fail differently than gates anywhere else in Travis County. The shallow limestone bedrock under most Hills Country lots means post footings often stop at 12 to 18 inches instead of the 30-plus inches a standard install calls for. Add lakefront humidity accelerating rust on ornamental iron, and you get a specific set of repair patterns we see week after week in Rough Hollow, Serene Hills, and the original 1970s sections. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family of gate specialists, and we handle gate repair, installation, and electric gate work across Lakeway. Call (626) 649-4572 any time, day or night, and a live person answers.
Why Lakeway Homes Are Different
Lakeway’s housing stock splits into two distinct eras, and each one shapes the gate work differently. The original resort-era homes from the 1970s and 80s often have swing gates hung on cedar posts lag-bolted into footings that hit caliche or limestone before reaching any meaningful depth. Those setups hold fine for years, then one wet spring storm softens the soil enough that the post racks outward and the gate drags across the driveway apron. Quoting a hinge replacement without checking post plumb and footing integrity is a callback waiting to happen.
The newer construction in Rough Hollow and Serene Hills presents the opposite challenge: heavy ornamental iron estate gates on sloped lakefront and hillside driveways, governed by HOA aesthetic standards that require repairs to match the existing ironwork exactly. You can’t swap in simpler hardware. The proximity to Lake Travis also means localized humidity that oxidizes wrought iron noticeably faster than inland Hill Country towns. Spring storm season brings sudden high winds off the lake that bend gate arms and knock automatic openers out of alignment, while cedar elm leaf drop packs slide-gate tracks with debris. Every one of these conditions is specific to Lakeway’s terrain and weather, and we plan for them on every visit.
Our Main Lakeway Services
Most Lakeway homeowners call us for one of three things: a gate that won’t close properly, a new gate install on a hillside lot, or an electric opener that stopped responding. Each has its own page with local pricing and details.
Gate Repair in Lakeway
Lakeway gate repairs usually start with the post, not the hinge. Because so many footings sit on shallow limestone, we check post plumb before touching any hardware. From there we address the gate itself: sagging corners, worn latches, bent arms from lake storms, rusted-through sections on older iron gates. We carry hardware suited to the ornamental iron and powder-coated aluminum common in Lakeway’s HOA communities, and we match finishes rather than substituting cheaper parts. Every repair includes a written price before work starts, and we lay drop cloths and wear shoe covers inside your home if the job takes us to a control panel or interior keypad. See Gate Repair in Lakeway for full details and pricing.
Gate Installation in Lakeway
New gate installs in Lakeway mean contending with the bedrock. We plan footings around what the ground actually gives us, which sometimes means rock drilling or adjusting depth and anchoring strategy rather than assuming a standard post hole. Lakeway’s HOA standards in Rough Hollow and Serene Hills typically require ornamental iron or powder-coated aluminum that matches the home’s existing style, so we talk through material and finish options before ordering anything. We’ll measure your driveway, review the slope, and give you a written price for the full job, including the post installation, hardware, and finish matching. No pressure, no inflated quote after the fact. See Gate Installation in Lakeway for a breakdown of what’s included.
Electric Gate Repair in Lakeway
Electric gate openers in Lakeway take a beating from storms rolling off Lake Travis. Sudden wind loads bend arms and throw openers out of alignment, while humidity works on circuit boards and connections. We service LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, and Elite openers, and we diagnose before replacing parts. If your opener stopped responding after a storm, we check the arm, the limit switches, and the wiring path before quoting anything. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and the written price covers the full repair. See Electric Gate Repair in Lakeway for opener-specific pricing and details.

What Lakeway Customers Say
"Electric gate was acting up. He was calm and methodical, found the bad sensor, and tidied the whole area by the gate post when he finished. No grease left on the driveway."
- Ravi Menon"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
