Gate Parts & Welding in Bothell - Made to Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Bothell

Gate parts and welding in Bothell usually means one of three things: a hinge that’s finally let go, a post that’s drifted out of plumb in the clay, or a weld that cracked somewhere between the leaf and the pillar. Most jobs we handle in Bothell run $180 to $1,400 depending on whether we’re resetting a post or replacing a full hinge set, and we quote the number before any work starts. If you’re in 98011, 98012, 98021, or 98041 and your gate sags, drags, or won’t close square, call us at (877) 610-2993 and Hal or one of his crew will talk you through what you’re actually looking at.

Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and he’s done enough work in Bothell’s planned subdivisions to know what these gates were built with and where they fail. That’s the advantage of a shop whose name is on the door, not a lead-selling website with a rotating cast of subcontractors.

Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Bothell’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company

We work on gates in Bothell every week, and we’ve seen the same failure patterns repeat across Canyon Park, Westhill, and the older neighborhoods off Bothell-Everett Highway. When a homeowner in 98021 tells us their automatic swing gate faults at the same spot every winter, we already know the footing is likely moving in the clay before we even open the gate. That familiarity means less guesswork and fewer wrong parts on the first trip.

Bothell customers keep calling us back because Hal stands behind the work with the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, on every job. If a weld cracks or a hinge settles within 90 days, one call brings us back. No runaround, no “that’s normal wear.” Hal’s name is on the shop and the invoice, and the shop is a short drive from Bothell, not three states away. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That matters when your gate won’t close at 10 p.m. and you’ve got a HOA email waiting in the morning. We’re licensed and insured, and we were owner-operated long before that became a marketing slogan.

Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Bothell

Our Gate Parts & Welding crew handles the full range of repair work on driveway and community gates across Bothell, with a repair-first approach: we fix the failed part in place whenever the surrounding structure is still sound. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

Hinge Replacement

Hinges take the entire weight of the gate leaf and they’re the first thing to go when moisture and clay movement team up. In Bothell, we replace more corroded ornamental iron hinges on late-1990s HOA gates than almost any other part. A typical hinge pair replacement in Bothell runs $220 to $480, including removing the old hardware, welding or bolting on the new pair, and adjusting the gate so it swings square again. We can match the original hinge style on most 1990s ornamental iron gates so the repair doesn’t stand out from the neighbors.

Post Replacement

A gate sags in the hinge post, not in the middle. That’s the first thing Hal tells anyone in Bothell with a dragging gate. The Sammamish River basin’s expansive clay heaves enough between wet and dry seasons to push posts out of plumb, and once a post moves, the hinges bind and the operator strains. Post replacement in Bothell typically runs $400 to $1,200 depending on depth, access, and whether we’re resetting into fresh concrete or digging out a clay-heaved footing. We dig deeper than the original installers did, which is why our posts stay put through Bothell winters.

Rail Repair

When a rail cracks or rusts through, the fix is usually a welded splice or a sectioned replacement, not a whole new gate. In Bothell’s damp climate, rust tends to concentrate at the bottom rail and the joints where water sits after rain. We repair rails on site, grind out the corrosion, and weld in reinforcing stock where the design allows. Rail repairs in Bothell generally run $150 to $350 depending on the length and whether we need to remove cracked sections or can reinforce in place.
