Wilsonville grew up fast in the 1990s and 2010s, and its gates show it. Most of the driveway and privacy gates we see here went in with the subdivisions: builder-grade wood and vinyl, set on shallow footings in heavy clay-amended soil, with no mature trees or deep setbacks to shelter them. That combination, plus a Willamette Valley winter, is why so much of our Wilsonville work is Gate Installation rather than patching a hinge. We’re a gate-only company, handling LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite and Mighty Mule systems. Call (855) 251-3899. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday.
Why Wilsonville Homes Are Different
Wilsonville sits in the Willamette Valley, which means roughly 40-plus inches of rain a year, mild winters, and very little snow. Frost heave isn’t the main enemy here. Wet-soil settling is. Posts that held a gate steady all summer work loose once the ground takes on water, and in the newer subdivisions off Boones Ferry Road and along the I-5 corridor, those posts often sit in heavy clay-amended soil on builder footings that were never dug deep enough for it.
Housing stock shapes the rest. This is a planned 1990s-to-2010s suburb of traditional two-story homes on small lots, plus newer townhome and active-adult clusters. Wood picket and vinyl privacy gates dominate, along with builder-grade metal gates. Very little century-old ironwork exists here, so our calls lean toward sagging frames, rotted footings, and hardware that never gets a break from the moisture. Gates in these lots also sit exposed, with no tree canopy to slow the wet-and-dry cycling that opens up wood joints year after year. HOA rules are worth checking before any change to a gate’s look or height, and most cities require a permit for a new or substantially rebuilt gate, so confirm with Wilsonville’s building department before work begins. We don’t guess at those requirements on your behalf.

Our Main Wilsonville Services
The two jobs Wilsonville property owners call about most are fixing a gate that’s already failing and diagnosing an electric operator that’s stopped responding.
Gate Repair in Wilsonville
Most repair calls here come down to a post that has settled or a frame that has swelled and shrunk through too many wet-dry cycles. We check the footing depth and drainage first, because adjusting a hinge on a moving post just buys you a few months. Wood picket and vinyl privacy gates make up the bulk of it, along with builder-grade metal gates. We can also work with your insurer when storm damage is part of the picture. Our technicians have up to 8 years of experience, and every repair is quoted and agreed before any work starts. For the full rundown, see Gate Repair in Wilsonville.
Electric Gate Repair in Wilsonville
Electric gates here take a beating from constant moisture on steel hinges and operator housings, and the symptoms often look mechanical when the fault is in the control board, the loop detector or a safety reversal that won’t clear. We diagnose before we touch a part, which matters on multi-brand properties where a DoorKing commercial operator and a Mighty Mule residential unit sit on the same site. No trial-and-error parts swapping. Whether your system is a Ghost Controls or an Elite, we work through the wiring and the operator together. Details live on Electric Gate Repair in Wilsonville.
Gate Installation in Wilsonville
Gate Installation in Wilsonville is mostly a response to two local realities: gates built on shallow footings in clay-amended soil, and lots with no tree cover or deep setback to buffer the weather. A gate that sagged through two wet winters usually isn’t worth resetting on the same footing. The fix is a properly dug post, better drainage, and a gate hung to survive the swing between soaked and bone-dry. That’s where our installation work starts, whether it’s a new driveway gate for a two-story subdivision lot or a commercial slide gate at an access-controlled entrance. We work across nine major brands, so the operator is matched to the gate instead of bolted on afterward. Our technicians have up to 8 years of experience, and installation work is measured, ordered and scheduled rather than rushed, with a free on-site measure and a written price. For the broader scope, see Gate Installation.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate has settled off its posts more than once, or the opening was sized for a lighter gate than your lot actually needs.
What it costs in Wilsonville
Driveway gate installation typically runs $2,500 to $7,500 for the gate and hardware, with automation adding $1,200 to $3,500 depending on the operator and access controls.
How we do it
We measure the opening on site, confirm the footing depth and drainage for Wilsonville’s clay soil, then set posts, hang the gate, and align the latches and hinges before any operator goes on.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re tired of getting out of the car in the rain, or your manual gate has grown heavy enough that opening it by hand is becoming a chore.
What it costs in Wilsonville
Automatic gate installation typically lands between $3,000 and $8,000 total, covering the gate, the operator, the safety edges and the power run, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We match an operator to the gate’s weight and swing, run the power and low-voltage control wiring, mount the safety edges and photo-eyes, then test every reversal before we hand it over.
What Gate Installation Costs in Wilsonville
| Item | Typical range in Wilsonville |
|---|---|
| Driveway gate, gate and hardware | $2,500 – $7,500 |
| Gate automation added to an existing gate | $1,200 – $3,500 |
| Complete automatic gate installation | $3,000 – $8,000 |
Can you install a gate on a lot with no mature trees or deep setback?
Yes. Those are the standard conditions in Wilsonville’s newer subdivisions. We compensate with deeper post footings, proper drainage around the base, and hardware chosen for exposed sites, so the gate isn’t fighting the soil every winter.
Do you handle the power run and the safety edges?
We do. Every automated installation includes the power run, low-voltage control wiring, safety edges and photo-eyes, all tested for correct reversal before we leave. Call (855) 251-3899 for a free on-site measure and a written estimate.
Brands We Service in Wilsonville
We’re experienced with nine major gate brands, from residential systems like Mighty Mule and Ghost Controls to commercial-grade operators from FAAC, BFT and DoorKing. Brand fluency means we diagnose the actual fault instead of swapping parts on a guess. Turnaround depends on the part and the operator, and the estimate tells you before we start. See our brands for the full list.

What pushes the number up in Wilsonville is usually the ground, not the gate: a post that needs re-digging to proper depth in clay soil, or drainage work that wasn’t part of the original build. Operator choice and access controls move the figure too. Every price is quoted and agreed before any work starts, and the written estimate is what you pay.

FAQs About Gate Company in Wilsonville
For repair calls we aim for same-day service, with fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday. Installation work is measured and scheduled rather than rushed. Call (855) 251-3899, and if it’s outside dispatch hours we’ll book you into the next opening.
Often yes on both counts. Most cities require a permit for a new or substantially rebuilt gate, and Wilsonville’s HOA-governed subdivisions frequently have rules on height, style and setback. Check with the city’s building department and your HOA before work starts. We can’t decide those for you, but we’ll build to whatever’s approved.
Both. We handle residential driveways and commercial access-control systems, including commercial-grade operators like DoorKing, BFT and FAAC.

What Wilsonville Customers Say
"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."
- Leela Reddy"Hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
- Amanda Bennett"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."
