Gate installation in Covina usually costs between $1,800 and $7,500 for a motorized driveway gate, and $600 to $2,800 for a manual pedestrian gate. Most Covina jobs we take on involve replacing gates on 1950s and 1960s tract homes where the original wrought iron has finally given out after decades of San Gabriel Valley sun and Santa Ana winds. We quote every job in writing before ordering materials. Call us at (855) 382-5690 if you want a straight answer on what your gate will cost.
Why Covina Homes Are Different
Most of the gate work we do in Covina is on homes built in the post-WWII boom, between the late 1940s and mid-1960s. These are single-story stucco tracts with detached garages and driveway gates that have been standing since the original owner moved in. In the neighborhoods off Citrus Avenue and Azusa Avenue, it’s still common to find the original 1950s wrought-iron pedestrian gate on the side yard, and the original chain-link or peeling wood driveway gate out front.
The climate is what really shapes the work. Covina gets hot, dry summers that push surface temperatures on metal gates well past where paint and powder coat fail. Then the Santa Anas come through in the fall and flex those heated panels and posts until hinges loosen, welds crack, and latch alignment drifts. Wood gates dry out in the same conditions, splitting at the stiles and pulling fasteners loose. A gate that worked fine ten years ago is now rubbing the ground on one side and popping open in the wind.
What this means in practice is that Covina repair and installation work is mostly about rescuing aging ironwork and rebuilding it correctly for the next few decades, rather than doing quick hardware swaps. The original gates many homeowners want to preserve were built from solid material. With the right hinge work, heat treatment on seized pins, and proper post reinforcement, they can often be kept in service rather than dumped.

Our Main Covina Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Covina homeowners and property managers: getting an aging manual gate working reliably again, and diagnosing electric gate systems that have stopped responding. Both are covered below.
Gate Repair in Covina
We repair sagging driveway gates, seized pedestrian gate hinges, failed latches, rusted post bases, and weld cracks on Covina’s older tract home gates. The typical repair call here involves a gate that has rubbed a groove into the concrete because the hinge side post has drifted out of plumb over the years. We pull the gate, refit the hinges, reinforce the post, and align the latch so the gate opens and closes with one hand. See the full breakdown of repair work and pricing on Gate Repair in Covina.
Electric Gate Repair in Covina
When a Covina motorized gate stops opening, we troubleshoot the operator, control board, safety sensors, and remote before recommending any parts. On homes in the older tracts, control boards exposed to years of dry heat and voltage spikes are a common failure point. We carry or can quickly source parts for LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Full details are on Electric Gate Repair in Covina.
Gate Installation in Covina
Gate installation in Covina typically starts around $1,800 for a basic motorized driveway gate and runs up to about $7,500 for a custom sliding gate with full automation and access control. On the older tracts here, the job is usually a replacement rather than a first-time install, and the biggest variable is whether the existing posts can be reused or need to be set new in concrete. We quote the complete job, including power run and operator, before any material gets ordered. This is the same discipline we apply on every Gate Installation project.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your current gate is manual and you’re tired of getting out of the car, or the old automation has failed and parts are no longer made for it.
What it costs in Covina
Automatic gate installation in Covina ranges from $2,500 to $7,500 depending on gate size, operator type, and whether new posts and a pad are required.
How we do it
We spec the right operator for the gate weight and duty cycle, set or reinforce the posts, mount the operator and safety edges, run the power, and program remotes and keypads before testing the full cycle.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The existing driveway gate is rusted through at the frame, sagging beyond hinge adjustment, or the property has no gate and you want to secure the driveway approach.
What it costs in Covina
Driveway gate installation in Covina typically runs $1,800 to $6,500, with sliding gates at the higher end due to track, rail, and operator requirements.
How we do it
We measure the opening, check slope and set-back, pour or extend the pad, set posts in concrete, hang the gate, and align latches and stops so the gate swings or slides true.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The driveway has a steep slope, a short set-back from the street, or a wide opening where a swing gate would crowd vehicles or the sidewalk.
What it costs in Covina
Sliding gate installation in Covina falls between $3,000 and $7,500 due to the cantilever or track system, heavier steel, and the operator sized for repeated daily cycles.
How we do it
We build the gate to the opening width, set the track or cantilever rollers, pour the receiver and operator pad, mount the motor, and tune the limit switches and safety loops.
What Gate Installation Costs in Covina
| Item | Typical range in Covina |
|---|---|
| Manual pedestrian gate | $600 – $2,800 |
| Automatic driveway gate | $1,800 – $7,500 |
| Sliding gate system with operator | $3,000 – $7,500 |
How long does gate installation take in Covina?
Most installations take one to two days on site. Sliding gates with new concrete pads may need an extra day for the pad to cure before hanging the gate and final operator setup.
Do you handle the permits for a new gate in Covina?
Most residential gate replacements on existing posts do not require a permit, but new electrical runs and certain property line conditions can. We’ll tell you early in the estimate if your job needs city approval or HOA sign-off.
Brands We Service in Covina
We service Elite, Mighty Mule, LiftMaster, and FAAC operators and hardware daily across Covina. Because our technicians work across nine gate and operator brands side by side, diagnosing a brand-specific fault code or a known quirk doesn’t start with a guess. Most common replacement parts are stocked in our service vehicles. See our brands for the full list and parts coverage.

Two things push gate prices up in Covina: the age of the posts and the condition of the power at the gate location. Original 1950s posts are often rusted inside the concrete, and many older Covina homes don’t have a dedicated circuit within reach of the driveway, which adds electrical work. Every quote is given in writing and agreed before we start, so there’s no surprise on the invoice.

FAQs About Gate Company in Covina
Most Covina repair calls get a same-day or next-day visit, depending on when you call and how the schedule is running that week. Electric gate failures that leave a driveway blocked get priority in the queue. Call early in the morning for the best chance of a same-day stop.
Some Covina neighborhoods with HOA oversight require design approval before a visible gate change, especially on front-facing driveway gates. If you have an HOA, check the architectural guidelines first. We can provide gate drawings and material specs if your association asks for them.
In most cases we can match the original scrollwork, picket spacing, and finish closely enough that the new gate sits naturally alongside the old ironwork on the home. When a true match isn’t feasible, we’ll show you a close alternative before any fabrication begins.
If your gate is sagging, seized, or just done for, call us at (855) 382-5690. We’ll give you a straight answer and a written price before any work starts.

What Covina Customers Say
"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."
- Laura Delaney"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one with him, and we were moving cars again in under an hour."
- Rosa Rodriguez"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
