AfterGate Company in Rodeo, CA
Gate work in Rodeo is different from almost anywhere else in the Bay Area. The air itself is harder on metal here. We’re Latch & Post Gate Repair, part of the Cedarwell family, and we focus exclusively on gates: repair, installation, and the electric side. If your gate is sagging, rusting, or refusing to open, call (626) 649-4572 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Rodeo Homes Are Different
Rodeo sits right next to the Phillips 66 San Francisco Refinery and on the shore of San Pablo Bay. That combination creates a dual corrosive environment: sulfurous petrochemical emissions mix with marine salt air and oxidize iron and steel gate hardware at a rate far faster than in nearby non-industrial towns. We routinely find hinges, rollers, and steel frames in Rodeo that are failing years ahead of their rated lifespan.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Most Rodeo homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s, and their gates are modest: utilitarian chain-link, basic wood-framed, or early wrought-iron driveway and yard gates. These gates are already well past middle age. Bay fog keeps the hardware damp for long stretches, and prevailing winds from the refinery corridor carry sulfur compounds that combine with salt moisture to form a corrosive electrolyte on exposed metal. Hinges seize. Motors degrade. The defining question on every Rodeo job is material selection and protective coating, and we answer that before we touch anything.
One more thing worth knowing: Rodeo is unincorporated, so gate and fence permits run through Contra Costa County’s Building Inspection Division, not a city office. Homeowners miss that step all the time. We flag it before work begins on any powered or over-height gate installation.
Our Main Rodeo Services
Two calls keep us busiest in Rodeo: a gate that won’t open or shut properly, and a gate that needs to be replaced entirely. Here’s what each involves locally.
Gate Repair in Rodeo
Sagging gates, seized hinges, rusted frames, broken latches. In Rodeo, the cause is nearly always the same: salt air and refinery emissions eating at the metal. We assess what’s salvageable, what needs replacing, and what coating will hold up longest against the local air. We service chain-link, wood-framed, and wrought-iron gates. Every repair gets a written price before we start, and every job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Full details on our Gate Repair in Rodeo page.
Gate Installation in Rodeo
When a gate is too far gone, or you want something stronger than what was installed in the 1960s, we build and install the replacement. The local climate dictates the material choices: certain powder coats hold up better than raw steel near the refinery corridor. We handle the county permit flag, the concrete work for the posts, and the alignment so the gate actually swings true. Detailed information lives on our Gate Installation in Rodeo page.
Electric Gate Repair in Rodeo
Electric gate motors in Rodeo work harder than they should. The salt-sulfur air degrades circuit boards and corrodes wiring connections faster than inland. We diagnose and repair operators from FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking, plus the other major brands. We also check the safety edges and photo eyes, because a powered gate that doesn’t reverse properly is a hazard. See the full scope on our Electric Gate Repair in Rodeo page.

Most Rodeo calls get a same-week visit, and emergency repairs are dispatched within hours. Our techs are based nearby in the Bay Area and know the local streets. Call us to confirm the current schedule.
Since Rodeo is unincorporated, Contra Costa County handles gate permits. Powered and over-height gates typically need a permit; basic replacements at the same size usually don’t. We check before any installation starts and flag it if your project needs one.
Chain-link, wood-framed, wrought-iron, and tubular steel. The majority of Rodeo homes have one of those four, and we’re equipped for all of them, including the electric operators from FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking that open them.

What Rodeo Customers Say
"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."
- Derek Pulanco"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."
