Gate installation in Union Park usually runs from $2,800 for a basic single swing gate to $9,500+ for a commercial slide gate with automation, depending on material, operator brand, and site prep. Most Union Park homes were built between the 1980s and early 2000s, so we regularly replace gates on posts that have shifted in sandy soil or rusted through at the base. Regent Gate Repair has served Union Park since 2013, and we handle everything from the first site measurement to the final sensor test. Call (855) 927-1091 for a free estimate on a new gate or a straight answer about whether your current one is worth saving.
Why Union Park Homes Are Different
Union Park’s gate work is shaped by three things: the age of the housing stock, the tight lot dimensions, and the subtropical weather. Most subdivisions here date from the 1980s through early 2000s, which means the original gate openers, when they exist at all, are well past their service life. We see a lot of first-generation Mighty Mule and Linear operators on gates that have outlived two or three control boards.
The terrain adds another layer. Many Union Park properties back onto retention ponds or conservation areas, so the soil near fence lines erodes faster than it does in other parts of Orange County. Gate posts that were perfectly plumb twenty years ago are now leaning by an inch or more, which throws off hinge alignment and makes openers work harder until something gives. On top of that, Florida’s afternoon thunderstorms push water into control boxes mounted low on fence posts, and lightning strikes along the Alafaya Trail corridor are common enough that we replace fried boards regularly.
Lot sizes here also run tighter than what you’d find in Winter Park or Alafaya, so slide gates are often the better fit even on residential driveways where a swing gate would eat too much of the yard. That changes the conversation when an old swing gate finally fails: sometimes the right answer is a slide gate installed on a new track, not just a like-for-like swap of the old panel.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Union Park Services
Most calls we take in Union Park fall into two buckets: a gate that has suddenly stopped working and needs repair, or an electric gate system whose automation has failed. Both are core to what we do.
Gate Repair in Union Park
Mechanical gate repair in Union Park usually comes down to hinge wear, sagging panels, or posts that have shifted in sandy soil. On older aluminum gates, we often find the bottom hinge has worn into an oval, letting the gate drop just enough to drag on the driveway. On steel gates, rust at the weld points is the usual culprit, and Union Park’s humidity speeds that up considerably. We repair the gate itself, the hinges, the posts, and the track if there is one, and we stock common replacement parts locally so most repairs are done in a single visit. If you have a gate that’s hard to open or sits crooked, see our full breakdown at Gate Repair in Union Park.
Electric Gate Repair in Union Park
Electric gate repair in Union Park means diagnosing the operator first, then the wiring and sensors. The most common call we get after a summer storm is a gate that opens but won’t close, which is almost always a photo eye knocked out of alignment or a loop detector that got water in its housing. We work on Linear, Viking, FAAC, and BFT operators, plus the residential brands common in 1990s-era subdivisions here. From the control board to the hinge, we trace the entire system before quoting a repair. For a closer look at how we handle automation failures, visit Electric Gate Repair in Union Park.

Gate Installation in Union Park
Gate installation in Union Park is often the better financial call when a gate from the 1990s needs both a new panel and a new opener. At that point you’re most of the way to a full replacement anyway, and a new system gets you current safety compliance, a warranty, and an operator that won’t fight you every time it rains. We install the gate and the automation as one project, which matters in Union Park because many of the older subdivisions have narrow driveways where a properly sized slide gate saves real usable space. We’re gate specialists, not general contractors, so every measurement, every hinge choice, and every operator setting is part of our daily work. For a deeper look at what a new system involves, start with our Gate Installation page.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re getting out of the car to open a gate by hand, or an existing opener fails more than twice a year and parts are getting harder to find.
What it costs in Union Park
Automatic gate installation in Union Park typically runs $4,800 to $9,500 for a single or double gate with a new operator, depending on brand and gate size.
How we do it
We measure the driveway opening, set new posts or reinforce existing ones, hang the gate, mount the operator, run power to the control box, install the photo eyes and loop detector, then test the full open and close cycle with you watching.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You want a gate at the property line but the driveway is short or narrow, or an old fence-line gate is rusting out at the base and leaning into the drive.
What it costs in Union Park
A steel or aluminum driveway gate without automation starts around $1,900 to $2,800 in Union Park, and an automated single swing or slide system runs $4,900 to $8,900 installed.
How we do it
We check the driveway width and setback, recommend swing or slide based on how much room the gate needs to travel, pour new post footings sized for the soil, hang the gate, and if you want it automated, add the operator and safety loop at the same time.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway opens close to the street or slopes upward, so a swing gate would hit the car or block the sidewalk when it opens.
What it costs in Union Park
Sliding gate installation in Union Park typically falls between $4,900 and $9,500 for a residential slide with automation, including the track, gate panel, and operator.
How we do it
We lay a level track bed or cantilever frame, set the gate panel on its rollers, mount a slide-specific operator, install the safety sensors and loop detector, and adjust the open and close speeds so the gate doesn’t slam or stall.
What Gate Installation Costs in Union Park
| Item | Typical range in Union Park |
|---|---|
| Standard gate installation (manual, single leaf) | $1,900 – $2,800 |
| Automatic gate installation (single swing or slide) | $4,800 – $9,500 |
| Gates with premium materials or longer track runs | $9,000 – $13,000 |
How much does gate installation cost in Union Park?
Most Union Park gate installations run from $2,800 for a basic manual gate to $9,500 for an automated single gate, with premium or commercial systems reaching $13,000. The final price depends on gate size, material, operator brand, and how much site prep the soil requires. Call (855) 927-1091 for a written quote; the price is agreed before any work begins.
Can you install a gate on a property that backs up to a pond or conservation area?
Yes, but the post footings usually need to be deeper and wider because the sandy soil near retention ponds erodes and shifts. We size footing depth to the soil, not just the gate panel, and we account for the setbacks Union Park requires before we pour concrete.
Brands We Service in Union Park
We work on FAAC, BFT, Linear, and Viking operators in Union Park, and we keep common boards, sensors, and remotes in local stock so a one-off failure doesn’t turn into a week-long wait for parts.
