Custom Gate Installation on the Northshore

Swing gates are the most common driveway gate style across the Northshore. We build them in wood, vinyl, and ornamental iron — single or double panel — and size each one to your exact opening. Tony personally adjusts the hinges and hardware before we leave so the gate swings clean and latches correctly every time.

Sliding gates are ideal for properties where there is not enough space for a gate to swing outward — driveways with a slope, tight commercial entries, or properties close to a road. We build sliding gates in wood, vinyl, and iron to match your existing fence line and install them on a track system designed for the weight and width of your opening.

Automatic driveway gates are one of our most requested services across Ponchatoula, Hammond, and Covington. We install automatic swing and sliding gate systems for both residential driveways and commercial properties — integrating keypads, remote controls, and intercom systems as needed. We set up and test the controller before we leave and make sure everything operates correctly. This is exactly the type of work that earned us a 5-star review from Scott H. after we replaced and automated the entry gates for his entire neighborhood.

Custom ornamental iron gates are Tony’s specialty. We design and fabricate iron gates in any style — from simple flat-bar designs to decorative scroll work — and build each one to the exact width and height of your entry. Iron gates are popular for driveway entries, side yard access points, and estate-style entrances throughout St. Tammany and Tangipahoa parishes. Every weld is personally guaranteed by Tony.

We regularly install and replace entry gate systems for neighborhoods, commercial properties, and gated communities across the Northshore. These projects involve large gate openings, heavy-duty hardware, and automatic operators that need to hold up under daily use by multiple vehicles. Tony manages these jobs personally from measurement through final controller adjustment.

Gate installation costs vary significantly depending on material, size, and whether the gate is manual or automatic. A simple wood or vinyl swing gate is the most affordable option. Custom ornamental iron gates and automatic entry systems are higher-ticket investments.

Yes. We regularly retrofit existing fence openings with automatic gate operators. As long as the existing posts are solid and properly set, we can install a new gate and automatic operator without replacing the entire fence. We assess the opening during your free estimate and let you know exactly what is needed.

Ornamental iron with a rust-inhibiting finish is the most durable gate material in Louisiana’s humid climate. It handles heat, rain, and humidity better than wood over the long term. Vinyl gates are also an excellent low-maintenance option. Wood gates are popular and look great, but require periodic staining or sealing to hold up in the humidity. We walk every customer through the pros and cons during the estimate.
