Sometimes it is one part and an hour. Sometimes the frame has gone and a new operator would just be bolted to a losing argument. That call gets made after the diagnosis, out loud, with the reasoning attached.

Most coastal failures are corrosion working out of sight — a seized hinge, a bottom rail rusted through from the inside, a board that has been breathing salt air for years.

Waterfront and inlet addresses frequently sit under a town or association design guideline of their own, on top of whatever the county requires.

Ask before the steel is ordered

Broward is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating is settled by code rather than by preference. What is not settled by code is the local review — Lighthouse Point handles that itself, and starting it early is the cheapest decision on the whole project.

Repair or replace?
We diagnose first and tell you which is worth doing. Sometimes it is one part.
My gate is stuck shut right now.
We can get it moving and secure on the visit, then come back for the permanent fix if parts are needed.
Can you get the part?
Most common failures are on operators still in production. Where a unit is genuinely obsolete we say so rather than chase it.
Is it worth servicing before it breaks?
Usually. Hinge wear, chain tension and sensor alignment are cheap to correct and expensive to leave alone.

Next step

Send a photograph of the entrance and roughly what you want it to do. That is enough to start a real conversation.
