Gate installation in Redlands means working with two very different property types, often in the same week. The pre-1940 Craftsman and citrus-estate homes in 92373 need a gate specialist who can match heritage ironwork and work around settled brick piers, while the 1980s-to-2000s tract homes in 92374 need clean, modern steel and automated operators that can handle the Inland Empire sun. Riverside Gate Company has served Redlands since 2011, and we handle both ends of that spectrum without subcontracting. If you need a new gate priced or an existing one repaired, call (855) 942-4867 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Why Redlands Homes Are Different
Redlands splits almost perfectly between two housing eras, and that split changes the gate work we do. The historic core in 92373 is packed with century-old citrus-estate properties and Craftsman bungalows where original wrought-iron and wood drive gates sit on brick or stone piers. Those gates are often worth restoring rather than replacing, but restoration in Redlands means dealing with piers that have settled and leaned over decades in adobe and brick. Alignment and hinge re-set work, not new hardware, is frequently the actual fix.
East of that, the 92374 neighborhoods built between the 1980s and 2000s are mostly tract subdivisions with standard steel frames, vinyl panels, and automatic operators. These gates fail differently: heat bakes the lubricant out of operator arms, UV breaks down vinyl and powder coating, and dry-season soil movement shifts the posts. Add in Santa Ana winds that can throw a misaligned gate against its stops, and you get a repair profile that is specific to Redlands. A Redlands gate tech has to be fluent in heritage ironwork and contemporary hardware, because both live within ten minutes of each other here.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Redlands Services
Most Redlands homeowners reach out about one of two things: a gate that will not open or close reliably, or an automatic operator that has stopped responding. Both are covered below, and each has its own dedicated page.
Gate Repair in Redlands
Gate repair in Redlands covers everything from a sagging double gate on a citrus-estate driveway to a vinyl gate that has come off its track on a 92374 tract home. In the older neighborhoods, we regularly re-set hinges on piers that have shifted out of plumb, rebuild rotted wood pickets, and straighten hand-forged iron frames. In the newer areas, we replace worn steel hinges, re-align posts, and fix latches that have seized from heat and dust. We work on the brand you have, and if we cannot repair it, we’ll tell you plainly and show you a replacement price. Gate Repair in Redlands
Electric Gate Repair in Redlands
Electric gate repair in Redlands deals with the motor, the control board, the safety edges, and the wiring between them. Heat is the biggest killer here: Inland Empire summers bake circuit boards until solder joints crack, and dry wind pushes grit into limit switches and gear housings. We carry parts for Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule systems, along with the commercial-grade brands on our service list, so most Redlands calls are a one-trip fix. If your gate runs but won’t stop, hums but won’t move, or only works from one remote, that’s the electrical side of our trade. Electric Gate Repair in Redlands

Gate Installation in Redlands
Gate installation in Redlands almost always starts with the post. On the 92373 side of town, we are often working around existing brick or stone piers that have moved over decades; in 92374 and 92375, we are more likely to be setting new steel posts into compacted dry soil that shifts with the seasons. Either way, a Redlands installation has to survive intense summer sun, occasional Santa Ana winds, and ground movement that most coastal cities never deal with. We measure, quote, and schedule every job before any work begins, and the price you approve is the price you pay. If you are weighing repair against replacement, see our full Gate Installation service page for the complete scope.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You are installing a new gate on a driveway that needs keypad, remote, or intercom access, or you are tired of getting out of the car to open a manual gate.
What it costs in Redlands
Automatic gate installation in Redlands typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on gate width, operator grade, and whether we need to run conduit for power and low-voltage wire.
How we do it
We measure the opening, check the post bases and available power, recommend an operator matched to the gate weight, install the gate and operator, then program and test every access point.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your existing driveway gate is rusted, sagging, or too narrow for the vehicles you now drive, or you are adding a gate to a driveway that never had one.
What it costs in Redlands
A new driveway gate in Redlands generally falls between $2,500 and $7,500 for the fabricated gate and installation, with automation priced separately on top.
How we do it
We spec the gate design and width, set or rebuild the posts, fabricate or order the gate, hang and align it, then add an operator if you want automation.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway is steep or short on swing clearance, and a swing gate would hit a slope, a retaining wall, or the street when opening.
What it costs in Redlands
Sliding gate installation in Redlands typically runs $3,500 to $8,500 because the gate needs a steel track or cantilever system plus a receiver post, and weighs more per foot than a swing gate.
How we do it
We set the track or cantilever rollers to drain away from the gate, hang the gate so it travels level, and install the operator and safety edges so the gate reverses on contact.
What Gate Installation Costs in Redlands
| Item | Typical range in Redlands |
|---|---|
| Driveway gate, single swing | $2,500 – $5,500 |
| Sliding gate, automated | $3,500 – $8,500 |
| Automatic gate system (operator, arms, remotes, keypad) | $3,500 – $9,000 |
Prices in Redlands shift with the post work more than the gate itself. A 92373 job on settled brick piers usually needs more masonry patching and alignment time than a clean 92374 post set, and that shows up in the labor line on your estimate. You will always get a written, itemized price before we order anything.
Can I put an automatic gate on a historic Redlands property?
Yes, and it happens regularly in 92373. We use low-profile operators, match hardware finishes to the existing iron, and run conduit where HOA or city requirements call for it. Every historic-property job gets priced after we see the site, not over the phone.
How long does a gate installation take in Redlands?
Most driveway gates are measured, fabricated, and installed within two to four weeks, depending on gate size and whether we need to pour concrete or rebuild piers. Custom ironwork from a fabricator adds lead time. We give you a schedule when we quote, and we stick to it.
Brands We Service in Redlands
We work on the brand you already have. In Redlands, that typically means Mighty Mule and Ghost Controls operators on residential systems, DoorKing and Elite on commercial and multi-family gates, and a steady mix of the other brands on our service list. We stock common boards, remotes, and safety-edge parts for these brands, which keeps most Redlands repairs to a single trip. See our brands page for the full list.

Two things push Redlands prices above the Inland Empire baseline: post condition and access. Brick and stone piers in the older Orange Belt neighborhoods need careful re-setting before a gate can hang true, and automated jobs on properties without a nearby power source cost more because we have to run conduit and trench. You get a written quote before any work starts, and that price does not change unless you change the scope.

FAQs About Gate Company in Redlands
Automatic gate installations in Redlands often require a permit, especially when the operator is new and we are running electrical. We check current city requirements on every quote and handle the permit paperwork when one is needed. Manual gate replacement on existing posts usually does not trigger a permit.
If your gate is stuck open or closed and you cannot secure the property, call (855) 942-4867 and we’ll tell you exactly when a tech can be there. Most Redlands emergency calls are seen same-day or next morning, depending on call time and where in town you are.
Yes, within reason. We keep technician hours that cover Saturday calls and later weekday windows for property managers and landlords who cannot meet midweek. The earlier you call, the more scheduling flexibility we have, but we will always give you a straight answer on timing.

What Redlands Customers Say
"Fixed the immediate problem. He was honest that the operator is near end of life and I should budget for a replacement, which I appreciate even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear."
— Sofia Martinez"Reprogrammed every clicker in the HOA and set up the keypad codes. Patient with a very long list of residents."
— Jennifer Rhodes"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."
