We’re Windsor Gate Repair, and we’ve served Redlands since 2012. We work on every brand you’re likely to find bolted to a post here, from LiftMaster and FAAC to BFT and Linear, and we handle the full job from concrete work to final programming.

Why Redlands Homes Are Different
Redlands isn’t a tract-home city. Much of the housing stock in 92373 and 92374 dates from the 1900s through the 1950s: Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial Revivals, and early ranch homes. A lot of those properties still have their original wrought-iron driveway gates, wood picket walk gates, and stucco-walled courtyards. The gate posts are often concrete or masonry, poured decades ago, and many have settled. That changes the job from a simple swap to a careful matching process: the new gate has to read as original or at least period-correct, and the post work has to respect what’s already there.
The climate adds its own layer. Hot inland summers and dry Santa Ana winds crack and warp wood frames; winter rains drive rust through old iron and rot at post bases. And in the older tree-lined blocks near downtown, mature citrus and eucalyptus roots heave concrete posts out of plumb. When an iron driveway gate starts scraping the ground, root heave is usually the culprit, and that means resetting or rebuilding the post before the gate itself can be hung straight. We see this pattern over and over in Redlands, and it’s not something you fix by swapping hinges.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Redlands Services
Most Redlands homeowners reach out to us for one of two reasons: a gate that won’t move the way it should, or an opener that quit. Here’s what those jobs look like here.
Gate Repair in Redlands
Wrought-iron driveway gates in Redlands deal with heavy seasonal swings: dry heat bakes the paint off and opens micro-cracks, then winter rain gets into those cracks and rust bleeds through. Wood picket gates warp and sag. We rebuild hinges, replace worn-out rollers, reweld cracked iron, and re-hang gates that have dropped or scraped. If your gate is original to a 1920s craftsman, we match the repair to the existing ironwork rather than bolting on modern parts that look out of place. Gate Repair in Redlands covers everything mechanical, from a stuck latch to a full re-hang.
Electric Gate Repair in Redlands
Automatic gates fail differently than manual ones. We see fried control boards, stripped gearboxes, dead safety loops, and remotes that just stopped pairing. Redlands’ dry heat and Santa Ana dust get into motor housings and limit switches; winter moisture gets into wiring runs. We diagnose the specific opener brand on your property, whether that’s a Viking, DoorKing, FAAC, or BFT, and replace the failed part rather than selling you a whole new system when you don’t need one. Electric Gate Repair in Redlands is our specialty, and we carry parts for the common boards and arms found across the city.

Gate Installation in Redlands
Gate installation in Redlands usually means one of two jobs: replacing a gate that’s beyond repair on a historic home, or installing a new automated gate on a property that’s never had one. The Redlands-specific challenge is matching period details: a new wrought-iron driveway gate on a Spanish Colonial Revival should echo the original scrollwork, and a wood picket gate on a Craftsman needs proportions that fit the house. We handle the full scope, from demo and post-setting through concrete curing and operator wiring, so we’ve got a lot of practice working around settled posts and mature root systems. If you’re planning a full replacement or a first-time automated setup, Gate Installation walks through what we offer in detail.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate has rusted through at the hinge stiles, sagged beyond re-hanging, or the post it hangs on has cracked from root heave.
What it costs in Redlands
New driveway gate installation in Redlands typically runs $1,900 – $6,200 depending on single or double swing, material, and whether the existing posts can be reused.
How we do it
We pull the old gate, assess the posts for plumb and sound concrete, set or rebuild as needed, then fabricate and hang the new gate to match your property’s era and style, including any concrete infill or hinge plate work.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want a driveway gate that opens from the car, you’re tired of getting out to swing a heavy iron gate, or you need controlled access for a rental or commercial property.
What it costs in Redlands
Adding a gate opener to an existing gate in Redlands typically costs $900 – $1,900 for the operator, installation, and basic wiring.
How we do it
We confirm the gate swings level and true, mount the operator (arm, ram, or slide depending on the gate type), run the power feed, and program remotes, keypads, and safety edges so everything stops and reverses correctly.
What Gate Installation Costs in Redlands
| Item | Typical range in Redlands |
|---|---|
| Driveway gate installation (single or double swing) | $1,900 – $6,200 |
| Gate opener installation (existing gate) | $900 – $1,900 |
| Actuator arm / ram assembly (with install) | $650 – $1,100 |
Several things push installation cost up in Redlands: mature tree roots that have heaved concrete posts, stucco or masonry pillars that require core drilling rather than surface mounting, and matching period-correct ironwork on historic homes. Before any work starts, you get a written quote and we agree on the price. No surprises after the concrete’s poured.
Do I need a permit to install a driveway gate in Redlands?
Most standard residential gate installations don’t need a city permit, but automated gates with vehicle detection loops or gates near the public sidewalk may require plan review. We’ll tell you what’s needed for your specific street and handle the paperwork if it applies.
Can you install a gate that matches my home’s original ironwork?
Yes. We work with local fabricators who replicate period scrollwork and picket profiles common on Redlands Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes. Your new gate can read as original, not a catalog special. Call (855) 382-0601 and we’ll come measure.
Brands We Service in Redlands
We work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear systems every week in Redlands. We stock common boards, arms, remotes, and safety edges so most repairs don’t wait on a parts shipment. See our brands for the full list of what we service.

What Redlands Customers Say
"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and the office didn't call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
— Ramon Herrera"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."
— Shannon Whitaker"Solar panel on our remote gate wasn't keeping the battery up through the winter. He repositioned it, replaced the battery, and explained the math on why the old placement was never going to work."
