Gate installation in Antelope usually runs $1,900 to $6,800 on existing driveways, depending on material, width, and whether an electric operator is part of the job. Most homes here were built in the 1980s and 1990s, which means we’re often removing original builder-grade gates that have spent three decades in Sacramento Valley heat. If your gate is sagging, racked, or just done, call us at (877) 752-5078 for a free estimate. We build for this climate and these lots, not for a catalog.
Why Antelope Homes Are Different
Antelope’s growth spurt in the 1980s and 1990s left a dense band of tract homes where original builder-grade wood and chain-link gates are now 25 to 35 years old. This is gate work as a second-cycle retrofit market, not new construction. The dry summer heat bakes and cracks wooden gates, while winter rains swell the clay-heavy soils, loosening posts and shifting hinge alignment season to season. That cycle means sagging hinges, rotted posts, and racked frames show up as a neighborhood-wide pattern, not isolated failures.
Along the older tract streets, side-yard gates commonly open onto narrow concrete RV pads built for boat trailers. Gate width, swing clearance, and latch alignment were tight from day one, and a quarter-inch of post shift makes them impossible to close. When we measure a new gate in Antelope, we account for that clay soil movement from the first cut. A gate that fits perfectly in August can bind by February if the footing or post depth doesn’t anticipate the swell.

Our Main Antelope Services
Two services account for most of the calls we get from Antelope homeowners and property managers: gate repair on aging original gates, and electric gate repair on operators that have finally given out after decades of daily cycles.
Gate Repair in Antelope
Most Antelope repair calls involve wood gates that have dropped, rot at the post base, or latches that no longer line up after the soil shifted through one more winter. We straighten posts, replace hinges and frames, and rehang gates so they swing clean and latch without a fight. Because so many homes here are the same vintage, our technicians know exactly what they’ll find before they arrive. The dedicated page covers signs, costs, and same-day options: Gate Repair in Antelope.
Electric Gate Repair in Antelope
Electric gates in Antelope sit on the same shifting soil and take the same summer heat as every other gate, but they also carry wiring, control boards, and safety edges through those conditions. We diagnose the operator, not just the gate leaf, because a binding post is often what burns out a perfectly good motor. For full detail on operator brands we service and turnaround times, see Electric Gate Repair in Antelope.
Gate Installation in Antelope
Gate installation in Antelope is usually a replacement project: pulling a 30-year-old builder-grade gate off its hinges and putting in something built for the next 30. The dry heat that cracks stiles and the clay soil that racks frames mean we build with materials and post depths chosen for the local ground, not a generic spec. If repair no longer makes sense, one call covers removal, new gate, and operator if you want one. That’s the whole point of Gate Installation as a dedicated service.
We quote the full job before any work starts. You’ll know the number before we cut anything.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want to open the gate without getting out of the car, or you need access control for a rental property, home business, or a long driveway that’s impossible to monitor from the house.
What it costs in Antelope
Automatic gate installation in Antelope typically runs $4,200 to $12,800, with most residential operators falling in the $4,200 to $6,500 range.
How we do it
We measure the opening, check swing or slide clearance, set posts to a depth that survives Sacramento Valley clay swell, mount the operator at the right height, and run power and safety edges before programming remotes and keypads.
Gate Installation Services
Signs you need it
The gate frame is racked, stiles are split or rotted, or the hinges have torn out of the wood and there’s no solid material left to reattach to.
What it costs in Antelope
Standard gate installation in Antelope runs $1,900 to $6,800 depending on material, width, and whether we’re removing an old post or pouring a new footing.
How we do it
We remove the old gate and hardware, set or replace posts as needed, build or hang the new gate, and adjust hinges and latch so the gate swings smooth and closes flush.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You already have a gate you like, but you want it automated for vehicle access, remote control, or because your HOA requires a self-closing entry.
What it costs in Antelope
Electric gate installation in Antelope typically runs $3,500 to $8,900, including the operator, safety gear, and programming.
How we do it
We confirm the gate leaf is balanced, mount the operator and limit switches, install photo eyes and edge sensors, run low-voltage wiring, and program remotes and keypads to your access pattern.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway is ungated, your property sits on a busy Antelope cut-through street, or you want to contain kids, dogs, and deliveries behind a controlled entry point.
What it costs in Antelope
Driveway gate installation in Antelope runs $1,900 to $12,800, with manual gates at the low end and automated double-leaf gates at the high end.
How we do it
We check the slope and setback, measure for swing or slide, pour footings sized for the gate weight, hang the gate, and install hardware that holds alignment through wet and dry seasons.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway slopes up from the street, your setback is too short for a swing gate, or you want the gate to work every time regardless of uphill grade.
What it costs in Antelope
Sliding gate installation in Antelope typically runs $4,200 to $9,500, with the variance driven by gate width and whether the track is cantilever or ground-rail.
How we do it
We set a level track or cantilever supports above the soil line, build the gate panel to the measured width, install rollers and guides, and test through full travel until it rides smooth.
What Gate Installation Costs in Antelope

|---|---|
| Manual wood gate, single leaf | $1,900 – $4,300 |

Soil conditions drive the hidden cost in Antelope. If the original post was set shallow, we may pour a deeper footing and then build from there. The price we give before starting is the price you pay.
How early should we book a gate installation in Antelope before the rainy season?
Book four to six weeks ahead if you want the project finished before the winter rains. Fall is busy because Antelope homeowners know clay swell makes an existing gate problem worse.
Do you handle the power run and safety edges for an automatic gate in Antelope?
Yes. We run the low-voltage line from the operator to the keypad or intercom, install photo eyes and edge sensors, and test the full safety loop so the gate reverses instead of closing on a car or person.

What Antelope Customers Say
"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
- Rafael Mendoza"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
- Eduardo Salazar"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."
