Gate installation in Orlando means working with two very different properties: a 1950s bungalow in College Park with a sagging wrought-iron driveway gate, and a vacation rental near the theme parks with an automated sliding gate that needs to work every single check-in day. The humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, and aging brick piers change how we anchor, wire, and protect every gate we install here. We’re Tampa Gate Company, a gate-only specialist serving Orlando since 2013, and we handle both ends of that spectrum. Call (866) 976-0095 when you need a gate that actually stays square, opens smoothly, and survives a Central Florida summer.
Why Orlando Homes Are Different
Orlando’s in-town ZIP codes are dominated by mid-century masonry and wood-frame bungalows and ranches with mature lots, many still carrying original or decades-old chain-link, wood-picket, and ornamental iron gates. Those gates were installed when lumber was thicker and iron was heavier, but they were never engineered for 70 years of year-round humidity and near-daily summer thunderstorms. We routinely find 1950s wrought-iron gates in College Park and Audubon Park whose original hinges have seized from decades of moisture and are now anchored into aging brick or block piers that are themselves cracking. So the installation is as much about re-anchoring into sound masonry as it is about hanging new gate hardware.
Out toward the resort and vacation-rental corridor, the picture flips. Newer suburbs and short-term rental properties use aluminum and vinyl fencing with factory automatic operators, and those systems face a different enemy: lightning and power surges. Central Florida’s intense UV also fades and embrittles vinyl gate components faster than homeowners expect. A gate that looks fine in January can be warped, cracked, or electrically fried by August. That’s why every installation we quote in Orlando accounts for the specific exposure, wind load, and surge risk of the individual property, not a generic Florida spec.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Orlando Services
Most Orlando calls to us start with one of two problems: a gate that won’t open or close properly, or an electric gate system that’s gone completely dead. Here’s what each service involves on the ground in Orlando.
Gate Repair in Orlando
When a gate in Orlando starts dragging on the concrete or swinging past its latch, the cause is almost always local: rusted hinges, rotted posts, or shifted piers from saturated soil. We repair first. We assess the existing hardware, the post condition, and the gate’s geometry before recommending anything. On a 1960s ranch house in Colonialtown, that might mean cutting out rotted wood, re-anchoring a post, and replacing worn hinges, so the original gate keeps working for another decade. On a newer aluminum gate near the parks, it’s more often bent tracks or failed rollers. Either way, the goal is the same: your gate back to secure, working order. See our full service breakdown at Gate Repair in Orlando.
Electric Gate Repair in Orlando
Electric gate acting up? We diagnose the motor, board, and safety loop, not just the obvious. Orlando’s daily lightning activity makes surge-damaged control boards one of the most common failures we see, especially on automatic gates near the tourist corridor where operators run constantly. We work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Viking, DoorKing, and Ghost Controls systems specifically, so we’re not guessing at the wiring diagram. The repair usually comes down to testing the power feed, checking the photo-eye sensors and safety edges, and isolating whether it’s the motor, the board, or the loop detector. Full details are on our dedicated page: Electric Gate Repair in Orlando.

Gate Installation in Orlando
Gate installation in Orlando is a different job in a 1950s College Park bungalow than it is at a modern vacation rental near the parks. The older home needs an installer who understands masonry anchoring, wood rot, and wrought iron; the newer property needs someone who can spec an automatic operator, run conduit, and wire safety sensors that meet current code. We do both. Tampa Gate Company handles the full installation: from digging and setting posts to mounting the gate, aligning the hinges, and when it’s automated, wiring the motor, control board, keypad, and safety edges. For a deeper look at what a full installation includes, visit our Gate Installation hub.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You have a gate that’s structurally sound but manually operated, and you’re tired of getting out of the car in the rain every time you come home, or your property needs controlled access that a manual gate can’t provide.
What it costs in Orlando
Automatic gate installation in Orlando typically falls between $2,500 and $7,500 depending on the operator type, gate length, and whether we’re running new electrical service to the gate line.
How we do it
We confirm the gate’s weight and hinge condition, mount a brand-matched operator (we work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Viking, DoorKing, Elite, Ghost Controls, Linear, and Mighty Mule), run or tie into power, install the control board and safety loops, and test the full open-close-obstruct cycle.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re installing a new gate at a property that has never had one, or you’re replacing an old manual gate with a powered system and want the wiring, sensors, and operator done right the first time.
What it costs in Orlando
Electric gate installation in Orlando generally runs $2,500 to $7,500 for a complete system, with the final number driven by gate size, operator horsepower, and the distance from your electrical panel to the gate.
How we do it
We set the gate and posts, run conduit and wiring from the panel, mount the motor and control board, install safety photo-eyes and edges at the required heights, program remotes and keypads, and run a full obstruction test before we leave.
What Gate Installation Costs in Orlando
| Item | Typical range in Orlando |
|---|---|
| Basic manual gate installation (wood, chain-link, or aluminum on existing sound posts) | $400 – $1,200 |
| Automatic / electric gate installation (operator, wiring, safety sensors) | $2,500 – $7,500 |
| Full tear-out and new gate system with new posts and automation | $3,000 – $7,500+ |
How long does gate installation take in Orlando?
Most manual gate installations take one day. An automated system typically takes one to two days, depending on the electrical run, concrete work, and whether we’re working around an existing fence or post condition. We confirm the timeline before work starts.
Do you pull permits for gate installation in Orlando?
We confirm permit requirements with the local municipality before starting. Many residential gate replacements on existing posts don’t require a permit, but new electrical runs and certain automated systems do. We handle that conversation so you don’t have to.
Brands We Service in Orlando
We work on more gate brands than most Orlando technicians ever see. LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Viking, DoorKing, Ghost Controls, Elite, Linear, and Mighty Mule are all systems we diagnose and repair regularly. That matters because parts availability and wiring knowledge vary by brand, and a control board that’s easy to source in Tampa can be a week out in Orlando if you don’t know the right distributor. Our familiarity with each brand’s quirks means faster diagnosis and fewer return trips. See our brands for the full list and what we stock.

The two biggest drivers of price in Orlando are post condition and electrical access. A gate hung on a 1950s brick pier that’s cracking will cost more than one on sound steel posts, because we’re doing masonry work alongside the gate work. And an automated gate that’s 80 feet from the nearest outlet needs real trenching and conduit, not just a plug. Whatever the scope, your price is quoted and agreed before any work starts, so there’s no surprise on the invoice.

What Orlando Customers Say
"Fixed the immediate problem. He was honest that the operator is near end of life and I should budget for a replacement, which I appreciate even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear."
— Jessica Yang"Hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
— Scott Miller"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
— Rachel Meyer
