AfterGate Company in Sunnyvale, CA
Gate repair in Sunnyvale comes down to two things: gates that open and close on command, and a company that shows up when it says it will. Calder Gate Repair handles both, from a misaligned swing gate off El Camino Real to a slide gate that stopped reading its remote near Highway 237. Before you spend a weekend fighting a gate that won’t budge, call (903) 417-0793 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Sunnyvale Homes Are Different
Sunnyvale’s housing stock skews toward mid-century ranch homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, and plenty of them came with gates that are now 40, 50, even 60 years old. The original steel posts are often set in concrete that’s cracked from decades of dry summers and wet winters. We see gates that bind in the evening after heat expands the metal, then free up again overnight. That’s not a fluke; it’s a clearance issue waiting to get worse.
Then there’s the Bay Area wind that funnels through the Santa Cruz Mountain gaps, particularly in the fall. A double swing gate with a weak weld takes that pressure every afternoon. In neighborhoods like Cherry Chase, Raynor Park, and Ponderosa Park, we’re regularly asked to reinforce gate frames, replace sagging hinge posts, and realign gates that scrape the driveway. And because many Sunnyvale streets are narrow, a gate that won’t close flat becomes a liability: you can’t park in front of it, deliveries skip it, and the gate gets hit.
Our Main Sunnyvale Services
Three gate services come up most often from Sunnyvale homeowners: mechanical gate repairs, wiring and electrical work, and opener/operator problems. Jump to whichever one matches your situation.
Gate Repair in Sunnyvale
A gate that drags on the concrete, a latch that won’t catch, a sagging post, wheels that jumped the track. These are the physical problems we fix every week across Sunnyvale. We’ll cut out and replace rusted steel, reinforce failing welds, and reset posts that have shifted in the dense clay soil common around Sunnyvale. If your gate’s gotten hit by a car or otherwise forced, we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a repair or a replacement. See the full scope on our Gate Repair in Sunnyvale page.
Electric Gate Repair in Sunnyvale
Electric gates fail for predictable reasons: wiring that’s corroded inside an underground conduit, a photo eye knocked out of alignment, a keypad that’s gone dead, or a circuit board that’s been fried by one of the power surges that roll through the Santa Clara Valley during heat waves. Our technicians have the meters and the replacement boards on the truck to diagnose and fix these in one trip. Head to Electric Gate Repair in Sunnyvale for the full breakdown.
Gate Opener Repair in Sunnyvale
When your arm swings but the gate doesn’t move, or the opener runs but the chain just clicks, you’re deep in opener territory. We work on the physical operator, the control board, the limit switches, the remote receiver, and the safety edges. We carry parts for Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing on the truck. Same-day service is available for most Sunnyvale calls. The full picture is on our Gate Opener Repair in Sunnyvale page.

Pricing for Gate Company in Sunnyvale, CA
These are the line-item ranges we quote most often in Sunnyvale. The final number depends on what we find when we open up the gate or the opener, but you will see it in writing before any work starts.
| Service | Typical Range in Sunnyvale |
|---|---|
| Gate troubleshooting / diagnostic visit | $49 – $89 |
| Hinge replacement (standard steel post) | $175 – $325 |
| Gate wheel replacement (slide gate) | $125 – $250 |
| Gate realignment (minor binding or drag) | $95 – $185 |
| Gate weld repair (cracked or broken joint) | $150 – $300 |
| Keypad replacement (standard outdoor) | $145 – $290 |
| Photo eye replacement | $120 – $215 |
| Gate opener control board replacement | $280 – $550 |
| Gate opener full replacement (parts and labor) | $650 – $1,400 |
What pushes a Sunnyvale quote toward the top of those ranges is usually the age of the post or the condition of the wiring: if we’re splicing through rotted underground conduit off Benton Street, that’s more labor than a clean swap. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair; if anything fails within a year, Calder Gate Repair returns free of charge.
