Gate and Fence Contractor in Irving

We install and repair gates, fences and outdoor structures in Irving, with all work performed by our direct employees.

Star Gate And Fence handles automatic gates, custom iron gates and gate repair in Irving. We install wood, vinyl, wrought iron fencing and chain link fencing, along with concrete driveways, gate pads and carports. Every job is done by direct employees, never subcontractors. Founder Elia Amiel works in the field.

We start with the property boundary, driveway opening and available construction access. For homeowners, HOA boards and commercial property managers, those details establish where posts, gate travel paths and structural supports can fit.

Property layout shapes the installation.

In the Heritage District, detached homes sit within a housing mix that also includes duplexes, apartments and townhomes. Before laying out posts, we identify which boundaries and entrances serve more than one household. Tell us which access routes must stay open. Our direct employees also check excavation space along the proposed line, planning concrete footings around the one-third depth rule.

A property within the State Highway 161, Urban Business or State Highway 183 overlays needs its layout checked against the applicable parcel restrictions. Those overlays add rights or restrictions beyond base zoning. Bring any existing site plan so we can compare proposed fence lines and gate openings with the requirements affecting your parcel before settling the layout.

For carports, Irving requires accessory structures to meet setbacks and be securely affixed against movement from storms or vandalism. We address the footprint and anchoring together. The usable parking area, support locations and required setbacks all need to fit the same plan before construction starts.

We build gates, fences and carports.

Automatic Gate Installation

We plan automatic gate installations around the opening, gate travel, operator and access controls. Applicable corridor overlays can affect the access plan, so we review parcel restrictions before fixing the layout. Our gate work follows ASTM F2200 and UL 325 requirements, with safety devices and operating checks included in the installation process.

Gate and Operator Repair

Our gate repair work starts by separating mechanical binding from operator or control faults. We check supports, hinges or rollers, gate movement and safety devices. In the Heritage District’s mix of detached and attached housing, we also check how the repair area affects shared access before removing components or opening the work area.

Wood Fence Installation

We lay out wood fencing around the approved boundary, gate openings and post locations. New fences require plans and city approval before installation, so material selection and layout belong in the permit preparation stage. Our direct employees set concrete footings using the one-third depth rule, then install the framing, boards and gates.

Carport Installation

We plan carport placement, supports and anchoring together. Local accessory-structure requirements call for secure attachment against movement from storms or vandalism and compliance with setbacks. We check the proposed footprint against those requirements before construction, then identify the concrete and support work needed for the structure rather than treating anchoring as a final detail.

Permit review starts with the layout.

The City of Irving Building Inspections Division reviews fence permit applications. A new fence requires the property owner to submit plans and an application for approval before installation. Residential applications and inspection requests use the MGO portal. Requests submitted after the 6 a.m. cutoff are scheduled for the next business day, so required inspections need to be accounted for in construction sequencing.

Confirm permit and inspection requirements for gates and hardwired gate operators with the division before work begins. If your property has a private HOA, ask the association whether architectural review applies and what documents it requires. Any required architectural approval should be addressed before installation, separately from the city permit process.

How we build in Irving

The same engineering standards apply on every job, whatever the property.

  • Direct employeesOur own crews set every post, pour every footing and wire every operator. We never use subcontractors.

  • Footings to depthStructural posts go into concrete to the one-third depth rule, so expansive clay cannot heave them out of line.

  • Safety standardsAutomated gates are built to ASTM F2200 geometry and wired to UL 325, with sensors tested before handover.

We check the site before construction.

We establish the layout and approval requirements before our direct employees begin construction.

  • Assess the site, measure openings and check boundaries, access and existing supports.
  • Arrange a utility locate before digging and review markings against planned footing locations.
  • Write the scope, identifying applicable permits, inspections and HOA paperwork before installation.
  • Our direct employees install the work, using the one-third depth rule for concrete footings.
  • Walk through the completed work, testing gate movement, controls and applicable safety sensors.

What affects the cost in Irving

For an Irving project, the scope starts with fence length, gate opening, material and the condition of existing supports. Removing damaged posts, rebuilding a gate pad or changing the gate’s travel path changes the work involved. We inspect those components before separating repair work from replacement in the written scope.

Construction access also affects material handling and excavation. Shared boundaries and limited work areas need to be accounted for in the layout. Permit documentation, applicable overlay review and carport setbacks add planning requirements. For automatic gates, the scope also identifies the operator, access controls and safety devices needed for the installation.

Questions from Irving property owners

Do I need approval before installing a new fence?
Yes. The property owner must submit fence plans and a permit application for city review and approval before installation. Residential applications use the MGO portal. Our layout review covers applicable fence regulations and any parcel-specific overlay restrictions.
How do we check whether HOA approval applies?
Provide the private HOA’s architectural requirements for the property before we finalize the design. We check the proposed materials, fence layout and gate design against those requirements where review applies. City neighborhood-association registration is voluntary; private architectural requirements need to be checked separately with the association.
What needs checking before a carport is installed?
Placement, setbacks and secure anchoring need to be addressed in the design. Local rules require accessory structures to resist movement from storms or vandalism. We review the proposed footprint and support locations, then define the concrete and attachment work needed before installation begins.
