Complete Outdoor Construction Under One Single Contract
We handle your gates, fences, and concrete pads with direct employees.
Star Gate & Fence is a licensed exterior contractor serving the entire DFW Metroplex. We install and repair automatic gates, custom iron panels, and wood privacy fences. Our teams also pour concrete pads and build custom carports or hardscaping. We complete every job strictly with our direct employees. We never use subcontractors. You receive one experienced crew, one exact timeline, and one point of contact. This approach makes your exterior construction project run cleanly and efficiently.
Engineered for North Texas Soil and Severe Weather
We engineer our builds to survive shifting clay soil and high winds.
No other region stresses outdoor structures quite like North Texas. The expansive black clay soil shifts violently with moisture changes. It heavily expands during spring rains and shrinks in the summer heat. This wet-dry cycle pushes shallow fence posts directly out of the ground. We combat this using strict regional engineering. Our crews follow the exact one-third depth rule for concrete footings. A six-foot fence gets a minimum three-foot concrete footer to prevent structural sagging. Our robust installations also withstand high-wind May storms.

Elite Automatic Gate Diagnostics and Motor Repair
We find the root cause of electrical gate failures to save you money.
Our founder, Elia Amiel, built this business on absolute diagnostic integrity. We troubleshoot electric gate operators accurately before recommending expensive part replacements. Our technical experts test motherboards, travel limit switches, and system voltage limits. We often repair a system simply by tuning motors or fixing magnetic sensing loops. Our technicians service major brands like LiftMaster and Nice Apollo. This honest diagnostic philosophy restores your property access faster.
Strict Safety Standards and Local Permitting Compliance
Our installations comply fully with municipal codes and international safety laws.
Fence building codes vary significantly across different municipalities in the Metroplex. Dallas limits front yard fences to four feet without a zoning variance permit. Fort Worth requires a strict fifty-percent open design for all front yards. We navigate these local regulatory hurdles for you. For automated access systems, we follow strict UL 325 and ASTM F2200 safety standards. Our physical gates feature correct geometry to eliminate dangerous pinch points. We also install all legally required entrapment protection devices and photoelectric sensors.
Why Unified Projects Work Much Better
Our team manages your complete project without confusing scheduling overlaps.
Coordinating a gate installation, a fence build, and a concrete pour is difficult. The concrete pad must perfectly match the gate operator's specific anchor bolt pattern. The new fence line must precisely tie into the gate columns. We handle this entire structural scope in-house. We sequence every step in the correct order on the same contract. Our team takes full accountability when minor field adjustments are needed.
Licensed, Insured, and Ready for Exterior Construction
We maintain the credentials required to pull your city construction permits.
Verifying your contractor's credentials is a vital step in the local DFW market. We carry the active licenses required to pull permits in Plano, Frisco, and Arlington. We operate as the official contractor of record for your residential or commercial project. Our team handles the specific municipal paperwork and schedules all inspections. We protect you from costly municipal removal orders and legal fines.
How We Plan Your Gate and Fence Project
Every successful project starts with a meticulous physical engineering assessment.
We evaluate exactly what your property needs before generating a quote.
Site Assessment and Measurement
We inspect your exact driveway grade and test the soil conditions.
This step determines whether a swing or slide gate fits your property best. It also defines your exact post depth and footer diameter engineering requirements.
Utility Coordination and Power Access
We calculate exact electrical run distances for automated gate motor operators.
Texas state law strictly requires an 811 utility locate call before digging begins. We execute this legal safety requirement on every single installation project.
Proposals and HOA Approvals
You receive a written scope of work detailing exact project pricing.
We clearly define all materials, labor, permit costs, and required concrete work. We also prepare the exact material specification package for your HOA Architectural Review Committee.
Professional Installation by Direct Employees
Our specialized in-house crew handles the entire active construction phase.
We pour the concrete footings and allow them to cure fully. Then, we set the fence posts and mount the heavy gate hardware. We focus heavily on structural stability during the critical underground work.
Final Walkthrough and System Testing
We test every gate cycle and confirm perfect panel alignment.
We walk the finished property with you to verify operational excellence. We test the operator remotes, keypad entry, and active safety sensors. The site is cleaned completely before our trucks ever depart.
