Mesa gate repair
Why Mesa Gates Fail (And How We Fix It)
Mesa homeowners need gates that work reliably without breaking the bank. The problem? Big-box store 'DIY gate kits' fail spectacularly in Arizona heat. Those $599 kits use plastic gears that melt at 110°F and thin-gauge steel that warps in direct sun. We install contractor-grade systems starting at $2,200 with genuine metal gears, reinforced frames, and motors designed for Arizona's extreme conditions. Free same-day service calls for Mesa zip codes 85204, 85206, 85209 when you call before noon.

Mesa Gate Questions Answered
Real questions from Mesa homeowners—answered by Arizona heat specialists
1How much does a basic gate cost in Mesa?
New single swing gate installation: $2,200-$2,800 (includes motor, keypad, 2 remotes). New double swing gates: $3,500-$4,200. RV gates (16-20 ft): $4,800-$6,500. Sliding gates: $5,500-$7,200. Mesa pricing is 15-20% lower than Scottsdale because we use standard designs vs. custom ironwork. Quality is identical—motors, materials, and warranties are the same regardless of location.
2Do you offer same-day service in Mesa?
Yes! Call before 12:00 PM for same-day service in Mesa (85204, 85206, 85209, 85212, 85215 zip codes). $89 diagnostic fee (waived if we complete repair same visit). Common fixes we complete same-day: dead batteries, blown capacitors, misaligned safety sensors, burned remote keypads. Parts we stock on trucks: batteries, capacitors, keypads, photo-eyes, chains, and circuit boards for LiftMaster/Viking/Eagle gate openers.
3Why does my Mesa gate stop working every summer?
Thermal shutdown. Standard gate motors have thermal sensors that cut power when internal temps exceed 130°F (to prevent motor damage). In Mesa's 118°F heat, a black powder-coated motor in direct sun easily reaches 140-150°F internally. Solution: We install motors with oversized aluminum heat sinks, louver ventilation, and thermal-grade motors rated to 160°F. Also, we recommend painting motor housings a light tan/beige color (reflects 30% more heat than black).
4Can I get solar power for my Mesa gate?
Absolutely—Mesa is perfect for solar gates. 310+ days of sunshine annually = reliable power year-round. Solar system costs $1,200-$1,800 installed (includes 100-watt panel, charge controller, and 2× deep-cycle batteries for 7 days backup). Best for: Properties without existing power at gate location (saves $2,500+ vs. trenching electrical). We install 60+ solar gates per year in Mesa, mostly in East Mesa where properties have long driveways.
