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

Fast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Clovis

Gate parts and welding in Clovis usually means one of three things: a hinge post has heaved out of plumb, an HOA is demanding an exact finish match, or an RV-width gate has dragged itself crooked in August heat. We handle all three, and we’ll give you a straight answer on the phone before we roll out. Hal Gatewood has been fixing gates since 2001, and the person who answers when you call (877) 610-2993 is the same person who will stand in your driveway and tell you whether that post can be saved or needs to be reset. No call center, no voicemail, no runaround.

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

We work in Clovis neighborhoods every week, from the 93611 tracts west of Willow to the newer 93619 subdivisions pushing east past Locan. Homeowners in those areas know something that takes a few service calls to figure out: a gate that sags in the hinge post, not in the middle, and that is where we start. Fix the panel without the post and you will fix it twice. Our customers call us back because we weld on site instead of hauling the gate to a shop, because we match the original finish an architectural committee approved, and because every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. That means if it is not done right, Hal comes back. One call, no argument.

Local reviews from Clovis homeowners keep pointing to the same things: we show up in the window we promised, we quote a price and stick to it, and we do not sell a whole gate when two hinges and a weld will solve the problem. The name is on the shop, and the shop is down the road. That is the oldest accountability there is.

Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Clovis

Here is what we actually do for Clovis homes, with the local conditions in mind. Call (877) 610-2993 and we will talk through it before scheduling anything.

Hinge Replacement

Builder-grade tubular steel gates across Clovis were installed with lightweight hinges that were never meant to carry a 14-foot panel for 20 years. Combine that with Valley heat expanding the steel and clay soil shifting the post, and the hinge is the first thing to fail. In neighborhoods around Buchanan High and the Clovis East corridor, we regularly replace pairs of hinges where one has worn egg-shaped and the gate now sags half an inch at the latch. We weld heavy-duty barrel hinges in place, match the original finish if an HOA requires it, and realign the gate so it swings true.

Typical hinge replacement in Clovis runs $220 to $480 per pair, depending on gate weight and whether we are working on an RV-width dual-swing or a standard pedestrian gate.

Post Replacement

This is the big one in Clovis, and the one most homeowners do not see coming. In the newer HOA tracts, gate posts are often set in decomposed-granite amended soil rather than native clay, but the underlying hardpan still shifts enough during summer heat that a gate perfectly aligned in April will drag or fail to latch by August. Our crew checks and shims posts on every repair call, because treating it as a hardware-only problem means you will be calling us back in six months. When a post is cracked, rusted through at the base, or heaved past shimming, we dig it out, set a new one with a deeper concrete footing, and weld the gate back into alignment.

Post replacement in Clovis, including concrete removal and a new steel post set below frost and heave depth, typically runs $480 to $900 per post.

Rail Repair

The horizontal rails on a swing gate take the most flex, especially on wide RV gates or any gate that has been dragging. A cracked weld at the rail-to-stile joint is a safety issue, because the gate can twist and bind or drop without warning. We cut out the failed section, weld in new steel, and grind the joint smooth before priming and painting. If your Clovis HOA specifies a particular finish or topcoat, we match it so the repair disappears into the original look.

Rail repair in Clovis generally runs $180 to $380 per rail, depending on whether we are doing a simple re-weld or replacing a section of tubing.

Custom Welding

Sometimes the gate you need is not the gate that was there. We fabricate custom gate panels, reinforcement plates, striker mounts, and hardware brackets on site. For Clovis homeowners in HOA-governed neighborhoods, we can match the original builder-grade style closely enough to survive architectural committee review, or work from the committee’s written spec so there is no redo. We have built custom side gates, pool enclosure gates, and RV gates from scratch, all welded in place so the gate never leaves your property.

Custom welding work in Clovis starts around $150 for small brackets and repairs, with full custom gate fabrication typically between $900 and $2,800 depending on size and complexity.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis

We are certified to work on nine major gate brands, and in Clovis we see a lot of Viking, Ghost Controls, and Elite openers on the newer HOA tract homes. We carry common parts for those brands on the truck, so a hinge repair or latch replacement does not turn into a two-week wait for a mail-order bracket. DoorKing openers show up more often on the shared entry systems in gated Clovis communities, and we service those too. When a part is not on the truck, we can usually have it within a day or two from our local suppliers. The point is this: you are not waiting on a slow national parts chain, and you are not being told to replace a Viking opener because one hinge wore out.

Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Clovis Homes

• HOA finish matching gone wrong. A rusty hinge or rotted post in a covenant-governed Clovis neighborhood cannot always be swapped for an upgraded part. The repair has to replicate the original builder-grade style, or the architectural committee rejects it. We keep standard finishes and profiles on hand for the most common Clovis tracts.
• Multi-gate properties sharing one opener. The large lots in east and southeast Clovis, especially in 93619, frequently have an RV-width side gate plus a separate pedestrian or pool gate on the same opener or loop detector. One gate dragging deactivates the whole resident access system. We fix the gate parts without killing access to the property.
• Clay soil throwing swing gates out of plumb. Summer heat in Clovis pushes 105°F, and the clay-heavy soil expands enough to heave post footings. The gate starts dragging, the latch stops lining up, and repeated sag correction on the panel does nothing because the problem is in the post, not the panel.
• Tule fog rust on hardware. Dense, weeks-long winter ground fog settles moisture on unpainted or poorly coated hinges, rollers, and spring latches. Then the dry summer cracks or seizes what the fog corroded. We see this most on gates that were never properly primed or topcoated when the home was built.
