If your driveway gate won’t open, won’t close, or was never installed right, you’re in the right place. Cherry Hill’s gate work is mostly planned-community and HOA-style residential entries and driveway gates on wooded lots, not the big estate systems you’ll find deeper into Fairfax or Loudoun. That means ornamental iron and vinyl-matched gates, manual swing and slide setups, and a lot of the automation that goes with them. We’re gate specialists, not generalists – every technician we send out works on gates and nothing else. Whether it’s a sagging post, a dead operator, or a new gate from scratch, one call covers it. Call Alexandria Gate Repair at (888) 356-9186 for a free estimate.
Why Cherry Hill Homes Are Different
Cherry Hill is a small, unincorporated Prince William County community in ZIP 22026, sitting on the southeastern edge of the DC suburbs near the Potomac’s floodplain and tidal wetlands. That location shapes almost every gate call we get here. Salt air and year-round humidity drive corrosion into hinges, latches, and operator housing faster than you’d expect inland. Add humid Mid-Atlantic summers and freeze-thaw winters along the lowlands, and you get two peak failure windows: summer storms and winter icing. The housing stock runs to late-20th-century single-family detached homes on wooded lots with long driveways, usually with ornamental iron or vinyl privacy fencing and sliding or swing driveway gates. HOA architectural standards are common, so a repair has to match the original style, not just work. And because so many lots sit at the edge of woods and wetlands, soil settling that sags gate posts is the bread-and-butter call. What we see most is structure and hardware wearing out at the ground and at the hinge, not the fancy automation you’d find on a larger estate.

Our Main Cherry Hill Services
Two services make up nearly every Cherry Hill call we take: gate repair and electric gate repair.
Gate Repair in Cherry Hill
Most Cherry Hill gate repair comes down to the mechanical side: a post that’s settled into soft ground near the wetlands, a hinge seized by salt corrosion, a latch that no longer lines up, or a slide gate binding on its track. We look at the whole gate, not just the part that’s obviously broken, because a sagging post can throw off a latch that seemed fine last season. HOA style rules matter here, so we match original hardware and finishes where we can. If your gate is manual and just needs to work right again, Gate Repair in Cherry Hill is the section to start with. Free estimates, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Electric Gate Repair in Cherry Hill
Automated gates in Cherry Hill take a beating from the same humidity and salt air. Operator batteries fade, control boards corrode, and photo-eye safety beams get knocked out of alignment by settling posts or winter ice. We work on the brand you already have, whether that’s FAAC, Linear, or something else, and we diagnose the actual fault instead of pushing a brand switch. Because we handle both the electrical side and the mechanical gate, we can find a problem that a generalist would split between two trades. For automated systems, Electric Gate Repair in Cherry Hill covers what we check and what it costs. Call (888) 356-9186 for a free estimate.
Gate Installation in Cherry Hill
Gate installation in Cherry Hill is shaped by the homes themselves. Most lots here are late-20th-century single-family houses on wooded parcels with long driveways, and many sit close to the Potomac’s tidal wetlands. That combination means two things: posts have to go to proper footing depth in ground that stays damp, and any operator we mount has to survive salt air and humidity. We plan for both from the start rather than fixing them later. We also build to your HOA’s architectural standards, so the finished gate matches the ornamental iron or vinyl fencing on your property. Whether you want a manual driveway gate or a fully automated entry with safety edges, our Gate Installation work starts with a free measure and a written price, and nothing gets ordered or scheduled until you’ve approved it.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your gate has to be opened by hand every time, or you’re tired of an old operator that fails after every storm.
What it costs in Cherry Hill
A new automatic gate and operator typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on gate size, material, and operator type, with the written estimate setting the final price.
How we do it
We measure the opening, set posts to proper footing depth, mount the gate and operator, run power and wiring, and set the safety edges so the system shuts down correctly when something’s in the path.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your long Cherry Hill driveway has no gate, or the existing one is too far gone to repair.
What it costs in Cherry Hill
Driveway gate installation typically falls between $2,500 and $7,500 for a single gate, and higher for double swing or wide slide setups, with the written estimate setting the final price.
How we do it
We walk the driveway, agree on swing or slide and the finish that matches your fencing, set posts to proper footing depth, then hang the gate and check it clears the grade through a full cycle.

What Cherry Hill Customers Say
"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
- Rachel Whitaker"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and installed a surge protector on the line so it hopefully doesn't happen again."
- Jason Thompson"Hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
