AfterGate Company in Windcrest, TX
Calder Gate Repair is the gate company Windcrest homeowners call when a gate stops opening, starts grinding, or refuses to close all the way. Windcrest’s mix of 1960s ranch homes and newer builds on larger lots means we see everything from original chain-drive openers to recent smart-capable LiftMaster and DoorKing systems. Most repairs in Windcrest can be diagnosed and fixed in a single visit, with the price written down before we touch a bolt. If your gate is acting up, call (903) 417-0793 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Windcrest Homes Are Different
Windcrest isn’t like the newer subdivisions spreading north of San Antonio. Many homes here date to the city’s incorporation in 1959, which means original gate posts, older conduit runs, and gates that have settled over six decades of Blackland Prairie clay soil. That soil expands and contracts with rainfall, and we regularly see gates in Windcrest that have drifted out of alignment or bind against a post that’s shifted a half inch. It’s rarely the motor’s fault. It’s the ground under it.
Windcrest also has a strong HOA culture, and many neighborhoods have architectural standards for front-facing gates and fencing. Before we replace hardware or change a gate’s swing direction, we check what’s visible from the street and flag any HOA concerns early so you’re not surprised later. Lots here also tend to be generous by San Antonio standards, which means longer gate spans and heavier steel or wrought-iron gates than you’d find in a zero-lot-line development. That extra weight wears out hinges, wheels, and opener gears faster, and it’s the first thing we inspect on a Windcrest service call.
Our Main Windcrest Services
Windcrest homeowners usually call us for one of three things: a gate that won’t move, wiring or sensor problems on an electric gate, or an opener that runs but won’t open the gate. Each has its own page here with pricing and the details of how we fix it.
Gate Repair in Windcrest
Gate repair in Windcrest usually comes down to the mechanical side: bent hinges, sagging gates, wheels off the track, or a post that’s shifted in clay soil. We assess the gate’s weight, check every hinge and wheel, and determine whether the gate can be saved or needs new hardware. On Windcrest’s older properties we often find gate posts set shallow in expansive soil, and we can reset or reinforce those before they fail completely. For full details on what we fix and typical pricing, see Gate Repair in Windcrest.
Electric Gate Repair in Windcrest
Electric gate repair in Windcrest means tracing the low-voltage wiring, testing the circuit board, and checking safety sensors and keypads. Summer thunderstorms and the occasional hard freeze both take a toll on exposed connections, and we’ve found more than a few corroded terminal blocks inside Windcrest gate boxes after a wet spring. We test the full circuit before replacing any component, so you pay only for what actually failed. Electric Gate Repair in Windcrest covers the diagnosis, the parts, and the pricing.
Gate Opener Repair in Windcrest
When the opener hums but the gate doesn’t move, or the remote only works from five feet away, the problem is usually the opener itself. We service all the common brands found in Windcrest, including LiftMaster, FAAC, Linear, and Ghost Controls. We check the limit switch (the small sensor that tells the gate when to stop), the capacitor, the gear assembly, and the receiver board. We stock replacement parts for most models, which keeps Windcrest repairs to one trip more often than not. See Gate Opener Repair in Windcrest for what a fix typically costs.

Pricing for Gate Company in Windcrest, TX
These are the ranges Windcrest homeowners can expect before parts, which we quote separately once we’ve diagnosed the actual fault. Every job gets a written price before work starts, and the invoice matches the quote.
| Service | Typical range in Windcrest |
|---|---|
| Gate opener diagnostic | $89 – $149 |
| Gate opener repair | $175 – $340 |
| Electric gate repair | $190 – $375 |
| Gate hinge replacement | $120 – $260 |
| Gate wheel replacement | $100 – $210 |
| Safety sensor replacement | $140 – $260 |
| Keypad replacement | $120 – $230 |

| Circuit board replacement | $220 – $410 |
| Full opener installation | $800 – $1,500 |
What pushes a Windcrest job toward the top of a range is usually gate weight. A heavy wrought-iron gate on a long driveway puts more strain on every component, and replacing a board or gear assembly on an older, out-of-production opener can involve sourcing a part rather than pulling it off the van shelf. Whatever the final number is, you’ll see it in writing before we begin.
