Gate and Fence Contractor in Fort Worth

Our direct employees handle Fort Worth gate, fence and outdoor structure installations and repairs, checking urban design review requirements before construction.

A Fort Worth gate or fence project starts with the opening, the ground and the approval requirements. Star Gate And Fence installs automatic and custom iron gates and repairs gates and electric operators. We also install wood, vinyl, wrought iron and chain link fencing for homeowners, HOA boards and commercial property managers.

Our outdoor construction services include concrete driveways, gate pads, hardscaping and carports. All work is done by our direct employees. Our founder, Elia Amiel, works in the field. We establish access, drainage and footing requirements before installation.

Ground and access shape the layout.

Magnolia combines housing and structured parking in a historic main-street setting. We check delivery access and room for gate movement before choosing a layout. West Seventh includes mid- and high-rise housing overlooking the Trinity River corridor. For shared entrances there, we review vehicle movement, pedestrian routes and access-control needs together rather than treating the gate as an isolated opening.

The Lake Arlington district reaches the lake shore, making runoff paths and site elevation important checks before concrete or fence work. We look at where water enters and leaves the proposed work area. A new pad or fence base should be planned around that movement, with drainage corrections identified in the scope.

Expansive black clay is a cause of DFW construction failures: moisture changes move the soil around shallow supports. We check the actual footing conditions and use the one-third depth rule for concrete footings. Spring severe weather also makes damaged posts and connections important inspection points.

We build gates, fences and outdoor structures.

Automatic and Sliding Gates

Driveway grade, swing clearance and available side clearance determine the gate layout. Our automatic gate installation follows ASTM F2200 and UL 325 requirements. We compare those dimensions before selecting an operator or a sliding gate. Regional exposure to damaging winds also makes the gate's supports relevant to the installation scope.

Gate and Operator Repair

After spring wind or flooding, we check the gate's supports and travel path before testing powered operation. A shifted support or obstruction can affect how the operator moves the gate. Our gate repair work separates mechanical damage from operator and control faults, so the repair scope addresses the source of the problem.

Wood Fence Installation

Fence lines, openings, board layout and post locations define a wood fence installation. We establish those details before construction, including where new sections will meet existing fencing. Spring wind exposure makes the condition of retained posts and adjoining sections relevant: replacing boards alone does not address a damaged support.

Iron and Metal Fencing

Vehicle entrances and pedestrian routes determine where openings belong in an iron fence. We plan the fencing around those routes and establish exterior details before fabricating sections. For work requiring a city permit, required inspections also belong in the construction schedule rather than being left until the installation is complete.

Concrete and Hardscaping

Driveways, gate pads and adjoining hardscaping can change where water travels across a property. We identify drainage work as part of the concrete scope before construction. Private lot-to-lot drainage is treated locally as a civil matter, so the project may need an engineer or landscape professional to address drainage corrections.

Carport Installation

Covered parking requires room for both the vehicle and the carport's supports. We check parking clearance, foundation locations and how runoff will leave the work area before finalizing placement. Regional severe weather includes hail, damaging winds and flooding, making the foundation and drainage conditions relevant parts of the installation scope.

Approvals depend on the property and work.

The City of Fort Worth Development Services Department administers construction permits. We confirm the approval route for the proposed fence, gate and any hardwired operator before construction. Work requiring a permit also requires city inspection. We prepare the paperwork and schedule required inspections, with those checkpoints included in the project scope.

Exterior alterations within an urban design district require a Certificate of Appropriateness. We screen the property for that review before finalizing exterior details. If the property has an HOA, provide its architectural documents so we can establish the applicable submission requirements. Development within a floodplain also requires a permit; that check comes before grading or other site alterations.

How we build in Fort Worth

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 establish the scope before construction.

For properties within an urban design district, we include the required Certificate of Appropriateness before construction.

  • At the first visit, we measure openings and assess drainage, access and floodplain status.
  • Request the 811 utility locate before digging any post holes or concrete footings.
  • Put permits, applicable design review and HOA paperwork into the written scope.
  • Our direct employees install the work with concrete footings following the one-third depth rule.
  • At walkthrough, test gate travel and safety sensors for ASTM F2200 and UL 325 compliance.

What affects the cost in Fort Worth

For Fort Worth projects, the scope depends on more than fence length or gate width. Materials, operator and access-control requirements, demolition, footing conditions and construction access all affect the work. In Magnolia's historic main-street setting, we check available staging space and the route for moving materials before writing the scope.

Permit requirements, urban design review and necessary drainage corrections also shape the estimate. For repairs, we inspect the existing posts, gate frame and adjoining concrete to establish what can remain. For a new driveway or gate pad, we identify grading and runoff work separately so the written quote describes the whole installation.

Questions from Fort Worth property owners

Does every fence project need urban design review?
The verified requirement applies to exterior alterations within an urban design district. Those projects require a Certificate of Appropriateness. We check whether the property falls within a district before finalizing gate or fence details, and we confirm the construction-permit route separately with Development Services.
What should I check before building near the lake?
Check site elevation, runoff paths and floodplain status before changing the ground or adding concrete. Development within a floodplain requires a permit. The city's stormwater review guidance also treats private lot-to-lot drainage as a civil matter, so drainage corrections may need an engineer or landscape professional.
Can you assess storm damage to gates and fences?
Yes. We provide gate repair and fence repair and storm restoration. Spring is the region's peak severe-weather season. We inspect damaged sections, supports and connections to define the repair scope. For powered gates, we check mechanical movement along with the operator and safety devices.
What HOA information should I provide before planning work?
Provide any architectural guidelines, submission forms and existing approvals that apply to your property. We review those documents when defining the proposed work and paperwork. City permits, required inspections and urban design review are checked separately, so the scope identifies the approvals relevant to the property.
