Gate work in Burlingame means working on custom wrought iron driveway gates, solid wood gates on Craftsman and Tudor homes, and automatic openers that have spent years in coastal fog. We’re a gate specialist, not a general handyman, and we focus on the three things Burlingame homeowners call us for most: gate repair, gate installation, and electric gate repair. Each of those has its own Burlingame page linked below. If you need a straight answer on price or timing, call us at (628) 227-2771 and a live person will pick up.
Why Burlingame Homes Are Different
Burlingame’s older neighborhoods are full of gates that were built to match the house. A Tudor on Easton Drive might have a heavy wood gate with iron strap hinges that have been there since the home was built. A Spanish Colonial Revival on Sanchez Avenue might have a wrought iron pedestrian gate with a latch that’s original to the property. These gates aren’t off-the-shelf. They were made for the house, and the right repair is one that keeps the original look and hardware intact rather than swapping in something that doesn’t match.
The climate plays a real role too. Morning fog off the Bay means steel and iron gates in Burlingame develop surface rust faster than you’d expect. Hinges get stiff. Rollers corrode. On wooden gates, the persistent moisture causes panels to swell and warp, especially on the fog belt side of town. In neighborhoods like the Easton Addition and Burlingame Hills, where many gates sit back on long driveways, salt air does the same thing quietly, year after year. That’s why we push for early, small repairs rather than waiting until a gate won’t close at all.
We also know that Burlingame’s design review process can apply to newer gate installations, especially on homes with historic character. Homeowners often want a gate that looks like it was always there – and that’s exactly the kind of installation we plan for, matching style, finish, and hardware to the house.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Burlingame Services
Most calls we take from Burlingame fall into one of three categories. Here’s how each one works in this city, with a link to the full page for that service.
Gate Repair in Burlingame
Most Burlingame gate repairs we handle are on older gates that have sagged, rusted, or stopped latching. A wood gate that’s swollen from fog won’t close cleanly. An iron gate with a rusted hinge will scrape the driveway. We re-align posts, replace worn hinges and rollers, and rebuild latches so the gate closes like it should. If the hardware is original to an older home, we’ll match it rather than bolt on a modern part that stands out. We start every repair with a written price, and that price is quoted and agreed before any work begins. Read more at Gate Repair in Burlingame.
Gate Installation in Burlingame
A new gate in Burlingame is a bigger project than most people expect, and it’s worth doing carefully. The post footings have to be set right, the gate needs to match the house’s style, and on custom homes the design review process may apply. We build and install solid wood, iron, and steel driveway gates, pedestrian gates, and garden gates. We don’t promise same-day work on a new install – this is measured, ordered, and scheduled. What we do promise is a free measure and a written price before anything is ordered. Full details are on Gate Installation in Burlingame.
Electric Gate Repair in Burlingame
Burlingame has a lot of automatic driveway gates, and the coastal air means limit switches, keypads, and circuit boards work harder here than they would inland. We troubleshoot openers on FAAC, Linear, and Viking systems, plus the other brands families typically own. We check the motor, the safety edges, the remote receivers, and the gate’s physical alignment – because an opener problem is often really a hinge or rail problem wearing the motor down. Wiring on an automatic gate carries real voltage; we don’t suggest do-it-yourself troubleshooting on the electrical side. Book through Electric Gate Repair in Burlingame.
