Gate installation in Pomona usually runs $2,800 to $12,500 depending on the gate type, automation package, and what’s already on the property. Older core neighborhoods in 91766 and 91767 often call us for driveway gates that need to fit narrow setbacks and alley access, while the newer subdivisions out near 91768 and 91769 tend toward sliding gates and double-swing automatic systems on wider lots. Riverside Gate Company has served Pomona since 2011 and handles the whole job from setting posts to programming the control board. Call (855) 942-4867 for a free estimate.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s gate work splits along a line most locals can see without being told. The old core around 91766 and 91767 is full of 1920s through 1950s bungalows and craftsman homes with narrow driveways, detached garages, and alleys. Those properties often have original wrought-iron pedestrian gates with hinges that have been brazed, re-welded, and patched so many times the repair call is as much about unwinding somebody’s previous fix as addressing the gate itself. On the streets off Holt and Mission, it’s routine to find a 1950s iron gate where the hinge post has shifted in expansive clay soil and the latch no longer lines up by half an inch.
The outer ZIPs are different. In the 1980s-to-2000s stucco tracts of 91768 and 91769, lots run wider and automatic sliding gates or double-swing driveway gates are common. The climate presses on both ends of town. Hot, dry summers and Santa Ana wind events bake powder coat and paint, rust forms fast on scratched steel, and wood gates warp and bind at the hinges. When winter rain does come, clay soil swells and gates that worked fine in October sag by February. Rentals add another layer. A large share of Pomona properties are tenant-occupied or managed from a distance, so gate work often means working to a fixed budget on equipment that never got upgraded to current safety standards.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona calls come in for one of two things: a gate that has stopped moving, or an electric system that moves when it shouldn’t or not at all. Both are covered below.
Gate Repair in Pomona
We repair what Pomona’s older gates actually need repaired: sagging hinges on wrought-iron pedestrian gates in the core ZIPs, welded patches that failed, chain-link gates with dropped corners, and rolling gates that jumped their track. The clay soil in Pomona means post movement is a recurring theme, and a gate that scrapes the driveway today may not have scraped it six months ago. Fast, honest repair beats replacement on most of these older gates, and that’s what we quote first. Full details are on our Gate Repair in Pomona page.
Electric Gate Repair in Pomona
Electric gate problems in Pomona run the usual range: motors that hum without moving, keypads that stopped accepting codes, safety edges that trigger for no reason, and control boards that died after a power surge. We work on LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, so the brand on your opener is one we already know. Because so many Pomona properties are rentals or absentee-owned, we often find systems where the previous fix bypassed a safety device rather than replacing it. See the Electric Gate Repair in Pomona page for the full scope.

Gate Installation in Pomona
Gate installation in Pomona means building for the property that’s actually there, not the one in a catalog photo. In the older core, that’s a gate that fits a narrow driveway, clears a sloping sidewalk, and works around the same clay soil that’s been moving posts for seventy years. On the newer lots in 91768 and 91769, it’s often a wider automatic gate with enough operator power to move a long, heavy leaf reliably, plus the safety edges and photo eyes that current code expects. We handle the whole install from footing to final programming, and we quote the full price before any work starts. If you’re weighing repair against replacement, our Gate Installation service page lays out the options.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re getting out of the car to open a gate you’d rather not touch, the gate is heavy enough that a manual swing is getting old, or you want controlled access to a driveway or parking area in Pomona.
What it costs in Pomona
Automatic gate installation runs $3,500 to $12,500 depending on gate material, operator type, and access controls; basic single-swing automations on an existing gate start around $3,500.
How we do it
We set or reinforce the posts, hang and align the gate, mount the operator, run power and control wiring, install safety edges and photo eyes, then program remotes, keypad, and limits before testing full cycles.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You have a manual gate that works fine but you want keypad, remote, or intercom access without changing the gate itself, or you’ve bought a property in Pomona where an old electric system was removed years ago.
What it costs in Pomona
Electric gate installation runs $3,500 to $12,500; adding automation to an existing gate runs $2,500 to $6,000 depending on operator and access controls.
How we do it
We survey the gate’s weight and travel, match an operator to the load, run conduit and wire from the panel, mount the operator and safety devices, then configure remotes and keypad codes while you watch the first full cycle.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want to close off the driveway for security or child and pet safety, or the old driveway gate is too far gone to be worth another repair in Pomona’s climate.
What it costs in Pomona
Driveway gate installation runs $3,500 to $12,500; double-swing driveway gates on the wider lots in 91768 and 91769 tend toward the upper half of that range.
How we do it
We measure the opening and approach, set posts in concrete below the clay movement line, build or hang the gate, add automation if requested, and adjust travel so it clears the driveway through every season.

| Automatic gate installation | $3,500 – $12,500 |

| Driveway gate installation | $3,500 – $12,500 |
Do I need a permit for a gate installation in Pomona?
Most driveway and pedestrian gates in Pomona do not require a permit when posts are set on private property and the gate doesn’t block a public sidewalk or fire access. If your gate fronts a public right-of-way or a hydrant is involved, the building department may want a quick review. We can tell you which applies to your address before we quote.
Can you install a gate on a narrow 1950s driveway in Pomona?
Yes, and we do it regularly in 91766 and 91767. Slide gates can work in tight side yards if there’s a run of fence to stack along, and a single swing leaf often fits where a double swing won’t. The answer depends on your specific opening, so call (855) 942-4867 and we’ll measure it.
Brands We Service in Pomona
We service BFT, Linear, Viking, and Ghost Controls, along with LiftMaster, FAAC, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule, so we’re working on the brand already mounted at your Pomona property rather than pushing a replacement. We stock common boards, remotes, and safety parts locally, which means most electric gate repairs get done in a single visit. See our brands for the full list.

In Pomona, prices move with the gate’s weight and the condition of the posts. Older core-neighborhood installs where the ground is soft clay can require deeper footings or post replacement, and long sliding gates on wide 91769 driveways usually need a heavier operator, which pushes the quote toward the upper end. Whatever the number, it’s agreed in writing before any work starts, and the price won’t change mid-job.

FAQs About Gate Company in Pomona
Most Pomona repair calls in 91766 and 91767 are reached within one business day, and we keep a same-day route for security-critical failures like a gate stuck open on an alley or a driveway gate that won’t latch. Call (855) 942-4867 and we’ll give you a straight arrival window.
Some of the planned communities in 91768 and 91769 carry CC&Rs that govern gate height, material, finish color, and whether automation is allowed at all. If you’re in an HOA, have the design guidelines ready when you call, and we’ll make sure the quote matches the rulebook before you spend a dollar.
We install year-round, but we time concrete pours and welding to avoid the worst Santa Ana gusts and midday heat where possible. In practice that means early starts in summer and flexibility in fall, so the work gets done right without fighting the weather.

What Pomona Customers Say
"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."
— David Wong"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
— Ramon Herrera"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
