Gate installation in Fontana usually runs between $1,200 and $6,800 depending on whether you’re hanging a manual driveway gate off an existing 1960s block-wall pilaster or running power to a new sliding gate across a wider lot. Most of our Fontana work lands in the $1,800 to $4,200 range: replacing rusted wrought iron on a settling stucco home, or adding an automated opener to a gate that’s been swinging manually since the Kaiser Steel days. The single biggest difference here is the wind. The Cajon Pass corridor sends gusts through 92335 and 92336 that twist builder-grade gates out of square within a few seasons, so a Fontana install has to be anchored and aligned with that in mind from day one.

Why Fontana Homes Are Different
Fontana’s gate stock is overwhelmingly mid-century tract housing built between the 1950s and early 1980s: single-story stucco homes on block walls, with manual driveway iron and chain-link side gates hung off masonry pilasters. Those pilasters are the story. In 92335 especially, we see rows of homes where the same 1960s block-wall column has settled and tilted, so the gate drags across the driveway or misses the latch entirely. Re-plumbing the post and plate is a routine Fontana repair that gets written up as “needs new gate” by less experienced crews incorrectly. The hot, dry summers bake gate hardware; the Santa Ana and Cajon Pass winds hammer swinging gates seasonally, fatiguing hinges and pulling welds; and whatever rain arrives in winter pushes rust through older iron and chain-link. Combine those conditions with non-standard property lines on shifted block and you get what we see every week: realignment, hinge rebuilds, and re-securing gates to sun-baked cinderblock walls. Fontana is repair-first gate territory. Newer subdivisions on the north side added builder-grade ornamental iron and light vinyl, but the call volume still skews toward making older hardware work again.

Our Main Fontana Services
These are the two calls we answer most in Fontana, the same way every week: gates that won’t latch because a post moved, and automated gates that stopped responding to the remote or keypad.
Gate Repair in Fontana
Fontana gate repair usually means restoring function to a gate that still has life in it. The work here runs toward realigning a gate that drags after wind shifted the hinges, rebuilding hardware on a rusted 40-year-old iron gate, or re-securing a post that’s pulling loose from settled block. We repair or replace the hardware, re-plumb the post or plate correctly, and tell you straight whether the gate is worth saving. In Fontana, it usually is.

Electric Gate Repair in Fontana
Electric gate repair in Fontana is a core service, not an add-on. We handle operator motors, control boards, loop detectors, keypads, and safety edges across residential brands like LiftMaster and Linear, plus commercial-grade FAAC, BFT, and DoorKing systems. The wind and sun here shorten the life of exposed components, and a gate that’s out of alignment will fight the motor until something fails. Full details are on our Electric Gate Repair in Fontana page.

Gate Installation in Fontana
Gate installation in Fontana requires working with what the house gives you: a 1960s block pilaster that may be leaning, a driveway that’s wider than the original gate wants, and a wind corridor that will punish a poorly anchored post. That’s why we anchor deeper than the builder did, plumb the post correctly the first time, and set swing gates so they clear even as the block settles through the seasons. Gate Installation is the full scope: manual, automated, driveway, and sliding, all handled by our own crew so you’re not handed off to a second contractor.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The old gate is twisted or rusted through at the welds, the post has settled so far the gate can’t be re-aligned, or the home now needs an automated gate where there was only a manual one.
What it costs in Fontana
Driveway gate installation in Fontana typically runs $2,200 to $5,800 depending on whether the existing posts can be reused, the gate is single or double, and you’re adding an operator.
How we do it
We inspect the existing masonry or set new steel posts below grade, hang and square the gate, then wire the operator, keypad, and safety edges where you want remote access.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re tired of getting out of the car at night, the manual gate is heavy enough to be a strain, or you want keypad and remote access for a rental, HOA common area, or family home.
What it costs in Fontana
Automatic gate installation in Fontana generally lands between $3,000 and $6,800 including the operator, controls, and the power run to the gate.
How we do it
We mount the operator matched to your gate’s weight and cycle rate, run power, set travel limits, and program the keypad, remotes, and safety edges or loop detector.

In Fontana the two big cost drivers are post condition and power distance. A settled 1960s pilaster that needs re-setting before a new gate can hang will add to the job, and a long power run from the house to a gate at the back of a wide lot does the same. Every quote is written out before we start, so the number we agree on is the number you pay no surprises after the fact.

What Fontana Customers Say
"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and installed a surge protector on the line so it hopefully doesn't happen again."
— Scott Norris"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."
— Steve Delaney"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one with him, and we were moving cars again in under an hour."
