FAQs
At Total Care Automatic Gate Repair, we understand you have questions before investing in gate services. Here are answers to the most common questions our Long Beach customers ask us.
How much does it cost to install an automatic gate in Long Beach?
The cost of automatic gate installation in Long Beach typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000 depending on several factors including gate size, material, type (sliding vs. swing), access control features, and site preparation requirements. For a standard residential driveway swing gate with basic remote access, costs generally start around $4,500. Custom wrought iron designs or gates for wider commercial entrances can range from $8,000 to $25,000. We provide free on-site estimates to give you an accurate price based on your specific needs and property configuration in Long Beach's varied neighborhoods.
How long does gate installation take in Long Beach?
Most residential gate installations in Long Beach are completed within 1-3 days depending on complexity. Simple swing gate installations may be completed in a single day, while more complex projects involving custom designs, extensive electrical work, or challenging terrain may require additional time. Commercial installations typically take 3-5 days. We work efficiently while ensuring all components are properly installed to withstand Long Beach's coastal conditions. Our team will provide a specific timeline during your consultation based on your project scope.
What are the best gate materials for Long Beach's coastal climate?
For Long Beach properties, especially those near the coastline where salt air is a factor, we recommend aluminum or galvanized and powder-coated steel as they offer excellent corrosion resistance. Aluminum is particularly well-suited for coastal environments as it naturally resists rust and requires minimal maintenance. If you prefer the appearance of wrought iron, we use marine-grade finishes and specialized coatings that provide up to 10 years of protection against salt corrosion. For wooden gates, we recommend cedar or redwood treated with marine-grade sealants that require refinishing every 2-3 years to maintain protection against moisture and salt exposure.
Do you offer emergency gate repair services in Long Beach?
Yes, Total Care Automatic Gate Repair provides 24/7 emergency repair services throughout Long Beach and surrounding areas. Our emergency response team typically arrives within 60-90 minutes of your call. We understand that gate malfunctions can compromise your property's security, so we prioritize emergency calls and maintain fully-stocked service vehicles ready for immediate dispatch. Our emergency services include motor repairs, track adjustments, remote programming, and safety sensor restoration. Emergency service is available on weekends and holidays with no additional surcharge for Long Beach residents.
What maintenance is required for automatic gates in Long Beach?
Automatic gates in Long Beach require regular maintenance due to the coastal climate and potential for salt air exposure. We recommend a quarterly maintenance schedule that includes lubrication of moving parts, cleaning of tracks and sensors, tightening hardware, and checking electrical connections for corrosion. Gates closer to the beach may need more frequent inspection—approximately every 2-3 months. Our maintenance plan include a comprehensive 21-point inspection to ensure all mechanical and electronic components function properly. Regular maintenance typically extends your gate's operational life by 7-10 years and prevents costly emergency repairs.
Can you integrate my gate with my existing home security system?
Yes, we specialize in integrating automatic gates with existing home security systems throughout Long Beach. Our team can connect your gate to popular security platforms including Ring, ADT, SimpliSafe, Vivint, and most other major brands. Integration allows you to control and monitor your gate remotely through your security system's app, receive entry notifications, and even view gate activity through connected cameras. For smart home enthusiasts, we also offer integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit systems. This connectivity provides convenient voice control and automated routines, such as having your gate open automatically when you arrive home. Installation of integration components typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on your existing systems.
