A gate is the one part of a fence that moves, which is why it is the part that breaks. It carries its whole weight on two or three hinges, gets swung a few thousand times a year, and on a driveway it does all of that in the weather. When it stops latching, the fence around it stops mattering.
When a gate starts dragging, the usual instinct is to shim the hinges up. That works for about a month. What has actually happened, most of the time, is the hinge post has leaned, and the gate is just showing you that. Straighten the leaf and re-hang it on a leaning post and it will drag again by the next season.
We check the post first, then the frame for racking, then the hardware. A gate that is square and hung on a plumb post usually needs nothing more than a hinge and a latch to work for years.
Driveway gates on steep or gravel entrances get abused. The ground shifts, the track fills with grit, and openers take a beating from the swings in temperature. We handle the mechanical side of gate repair: the leaf, the posts, the hinges, the hardware, and opener hardware and adjustment. Anything that needs new electrical service run to the gate we will tell you about up front so you can bring in an electrician.
If the gate is part of a fence run that also needs work, it is usually cheaper to do them together. That is covered under fencing.

Send a photo of the gate closed and one of the hinge post through the estimate form. Those two pictures tell us most of what we need to know before we come out.
