AfterFast, Reliable Gate Repair Across Tysons Corner
Gate repair in Tysons Corner usually means one of two things: a boom barrier arm bent by a delivery truck at a condo entrance, or a slide gate that has seized up on a parking deck after a hard freeze. We handle both, and we answer the phone when you call. Hal Gatewood has been running Gatewood Fence & Gate since 2001, and we work throughout the 22027 corridor and the commercial districts clustered around the Silver Line. If you have got a gate that will not close or an arm that is dragging on the ground, call (877) 610-2993 and a live person picks up, day or night.
Why Gatewood Fence & Gate Is Tysons Corner’s Preferred Gate Repair Company
Nobody in Tysons Corner has time to wait three days for a gate technician who may or may not show. Property managers around Greensboro and Spring Hill know that a broken parking gate backed up traffic by 7:00 AM. That is why so many HOAs and commercial properties in the area keep our number. We are not a national chain with a queue. We are an owner-operated shop, and our Gate Repair team shows up in uniform, background-checked, and ready to weld, realign, or replace on the spot.
We serve Tysons Corner from a metro office just up the road, which means we can be on site faster than an outfit that has to send someone from two counties away. Hal’s name is on the invoice, the shop address is published, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing. If something is not right, one phone call brings us back. No fine print, no argument.
Our Gate Repair Services in Tysons Corner
Electric Gate Repair
Electric gate repair in Tysons Corner skews toward high-cycle commercial operators: slide gates on structured parking, swing gates on corporate campuses, and the kind of automated entry systems you find at the condo towers off Leesburg Pike. A typical electric gate motor service call here runs $225-$410, depending on whether we are replacing a capacitor, swapping a control board, or rebuilding a motor mount. We certify service on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, so we rarely have to order parts and leave a gate down overnight.
Automatic Gate Repair
Automatic gates in Tysons Corner take a beating from constant use. A single tower entrance near the Greensboro Metro station can cycle a gate two hundred times a day between residents, deliveries, and rideshares. That kind of duty wears out limit switches and overheats motors faster than any residential setting. We diagnose the problem in place, keep the gate in your driveway or on your property, and repair rather than replace whenever the existing equipment still has life in it.
Hinge & Post Repair
Fix the panel without the post and you will fix it twice. That is a rule we have learned the hard way on older properties in the Dunn Loring and Idylwood edge of Tysons Corner, where concrete post footings date to the 1970s and have shifted over decades of freeze-thaw cycles. A sagging gate almost always starts at the hinge post, not in the middle of the panel. We weld cracked hinges, set new posts where needed, and reinforce weak steel in place. Typical hinge and post repair in the area runs $180-$500 depending on post depth and whether we need to pour a new footing.
Gate Realignment
Slide gate tracks on outdoor parking decks across Tysons Corner routinely need realignment by early spring. Northern Virginia gets more damaging ice storms than pure snowfall, and a season of freeze-thaw heave shifts concrete gate-post footings and twists track rails. A misaligned slide gate starts dragging, then jams, then burns out the motor. Realignment jobs here typically run $160-$380, including adjustment of rollers, track leveling, and load testing the operator. We do this work on site, same visit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tysons Corner
We are certified to service nine major gate brands, and we stock common parts for the ones we see most in this market. FAAC and BFT hydraulic operators are the workhorses at many Tysons Corner office park entrances, while Linear and Viking equipment shows up regularly on HOA-managed multi-tenant systems. Because we know which operators dominate the commercial stock around the Silver Line corridor, we can often walk up with the right control board or limit switch on the first trip rather than diagnosing today and returning next week.
Common Gate Repair Problems We See in Tysons Corner Homes
- Impact-bent boom barrier arms. The volume of delivery trucks and rideshare traffic at tower entrances near the Greensboro Metro station means boom arms get clipped constantly. A bent arm usually shears the internal spring or strips the hub, and we replace both in one visit.
- Seized hydraulic swing-gate operators after ice storms. Mid-Atlantic ice storms snap boom arms and freeze hydraulic mechanisms that never quite recover. If a gate groans and stops mid-travel after a cold snap, the operator usually needs a fluid flush and seal rebuild rather than full replacement.
- Misaligned slide gate tracks from freeze-thaw heave. Outdoor parking deck gates along the 22027 corridor sit on concrete that expands and contracts all winter. By spring, tracks have shifted enough to bind the rollers. We level and realign the track, then test the operator under load.
- Worn intercom-integrated entry hardware. Many Tysons Corner condo buildings tie gate access to a resident keypad or call box. When the integration fails, the gate either stays open or refuses to open for legitimate residents. We reprogram the operator and replace failed loop detectors or keypad relays.

FAQs - Gate Repair in Tysons Corner
If your gate is attached to a condo building, townhome community, or any property under a homeowners association in Tysons Corner, the answer is usually yes: most governing documents require architectural committee approval before you change a gate’s style, height, color, or finish, even if the repair is functionally identical to the old one. Repairs that restore the original appearance and hardware generally move faster than replacements that alter the look. We have worked with management companies all over the Tysons area and can provide the spec sheets and photo documentation your architectural board will ask for. Call (877) 610-2993 and we will tell you what your HOA paperwork will need before you start.
For a broken boom barrier or any gate that is blocking vehicle access at a commercial or multi-tenant property in Tysons Corner, we can typically have someone on site within hours, not days, because our metro office sits close enough to reach the 22027 corridor quickly. We understand that a stuck parking gate at a tower near the Greensboro Metro station turns into a backed-up line of cars by morning rush. Call (877) 610-2993 and a live person will take your details and tell you exactly when to expect us.
Yes, we regularly work with property management companies and HOA boards to maintain shared entry systems at condominium towers and commercial buildings throughout Tysons Corner. That work usually covers preventive maintenance on motors, loop detectors, keypads, and safety photocells, plus emergency response when something fails. We provide the written service logs and maintenance schedules that management companies need for reserve planning and board reports. Call (877) 610-2993 to set up a maintenance walkthrough of your property’s gates.
Parking garage slide gates in Tysons Corner need realignment every spring because Northern Virginia’s freeze-thaw cycle shifts the concrete footings the tracks sit on. During winter, water seeps under the track bases, freezes, expands, and lifts the concrete slightly. When it thaws, the footing settles unevenly, and by early spring the track is slightly twisted or sloped, which makes the gate bind and strain the motor. We level the track, adjust rollers, and verify the operator runs at correct load. Call (877) 610-2993 to get on our spring realignment schedule before the binding turns into a burned-out motor.
Yes, we repair gates that have been hit by delivery trucks at Tysons Corner condos all the time. The most common damage is a bent boom barrier arm, a twisted slide gate panel, or a hinge post knocked out of plumb. We straighten or weld what can be saved, replace what cannot, and realign the whole assembly so it closes cleanly. On-site welding means we do not haul your gate away to a shop. Call (877) 610-2993 for a fast assessment and an upfront price.
