Materials & Finishes

We build in wrought iron, wood, and steel — not aluminum. Aluminum gates bend and slam in Houston’s high winds and are hard to weld or repair; iron is stronger and field-repairable. Every gate is primed and finished with Sher-Kem, a Sherwin-Williams direct-to-metal industrial enamel built for adhesion and corrosion resistance — not powder coat.

In-House Custom Fabrication

Every gate we build is designed, fabricated, and installed by our own team under one roof. We weld and finish the gate in-house, match it with the right operator for the gate’s weight and duty cycle, and commission the full system ourselves. No subcontractors, no handoffs. Whether you need a first-time automated gate or are replacing an old one, see our gate opener installation or request gate repair services. The choice is always yours.

What Our Customers Say

After researching several options in the Houston area, I chose Automatic Gate Co for my driveway gate installation. I appreciate that they didn’t try to push the most expensive option on me but instead helped me find something that fit my needs AND my budget. The gate looks fantastic and the opener works like a charm. Carlos was especially helpful throughout the process. One small issue with the remote was fixed immediately. Highly recommend!
Harley Thomson

Lili scheduled our Driveway Gate install around my work travel so I could actually be there. The crew showed up when they said they would and wrapped it up in a day. Gate looks clean and the opener connects to my phone without any fuss. Just worked out how it should.
Trinah Baker

My neighbor had referred them after they installed a Driveway Gate with a cedar overlay. I went with something similar, but tweaked the layout and finish. They made it super easy to customize without overwhelming me with options. Even down to the keypad location they asked how I pull in, what side I open my car door on, and installed it where it actually made sense. Small things like that add up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a custom driveway gate cost in Houston?

Gate pricing depends on material, style, size, and whether you need automation. We provide an upfront all-inclusive quote before any work begins — gate, operator, labor, and tax included. Call 713-206-4025 for a free estimate.

How long does it take to build and install a gate?

Most residential gates are fabricated and installed within 1–2 weeks of the signed quote, depending on design complexity and current lead time. We will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation.

Do you build swing gates and slide gates?

Yes. We build both. Swing gates work well where you have clearance; slide gates are better for sloped driveways or tight spaces. We assess your driveway during the consultation and recommend the right configuration.

Is the gate operator included in the price?

Yes. Every gate package we quote includes the gate itself, the operator matched to its weight and duty cycle, safety devices, wiring, and programming. One all-inclusive price — no add-ons after the quote.

What materials do you offer?

We build in wrought iron, wood, and steel, with finishes to match your home. Every gate is primed and painted with Sherwin-Williams coatings made specifically for metal for a durable, long-lasting finish — we don’t use powder coat.

Can you automate an existing gate?

In many cases, yes. If your existing gate is structurally sound and properly hung, we can add an operator without replacing the gate. We assess it on-site and let you know if automation is feasible before quoting.
