Fast, Reliable Gate Parts & Welding Across Hurst
Gate parts and welding repair in Hurst typically costs $180–$650 depending on whether you’re fixing hinges, replacing a rotted post, or needing custom fabrication for a heavy-duty gate. Most jobs are completed same-day because our shop carries steel stock, hinges, and hardware for the 1960s–1980s wood gates that dominate Hurst neighborhoods. If your gate post wiggles by hand or your frame has racked from years of clay soil movement, we’ll diagnose it on arrival and weld what needs welding right there on your property.
We know Hurst’s streets well — from the ranch homes along Harwood Road and Pipeline Road to the neighborhoods tucked between SH-121 and SH-183. Dennis and his team can usually be on-site in Hurst within an hour of your call, and we bring the welding equipment, steel stock, and brand-specific parts so we’re not making a second trip. That’s the difference between a gate handyman and our Gate Parts & Welding crew: we fabricate, we weld, we wire, and we repair.
Why Everest Gate Repair Service Dallas Fort Worth Is Hurst’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
Eleven years, one specialty — and 700+ neighbors agree. Our 707 verified reviews averaging 4.8 stars include plenty from right here in the Mid-Cities, where homeowners value a technician who shows up with tools and answers, not a sales pitch. Dennis Price, our owner and lead technician, personally handles the diagnosis and repair on Hurst jobs. You get the decision-maker on-site, not a subcontractor figuring it out as he goes.
We’ve learned Hurst’s specific failure patterns after years of working its 76053 and 76054 ZIP codes. The expansive black clay soil in this part of Tarrant County is notorious — it swells with spring rains, shrinks during summer drought, and gradually pumps gate posts loose until a 4×4 cedar post can be pushed by hand. That kind of local knowledge saves Hurst homeowners money because we’re not guessing at the root cause.
Our response time to Hurst is typically under an hour during business hours. We stock parts for LiftMaster, Elite, Mighty Mule, and DoorKing operators common in Hurst’s older neighborhoods, plus the heavy-duty hinges and steel stock needed for custom welding on oversized gates.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Hurst
Post Replacement
Post replacement is the most common gate parts job we handle in Hurst, and it’s almost never just the post — it’s the soil. Hurst’s 1960s–1980s ranch homes sit on Tarrant County’s expansive black clay, which heaves posts out of plumb through repeated wet-dry cycles. A typical post replacement in Hurst runs $280–$450 for a standard 4×4 cedar or pressure-treated post with concrete footing, or $380–$620 for a steel-sleeved post with deeper anchoring that resists future clay movement.
We responded to a home on Harwood Road in Hurst where the original cedar gate post had rotted off at the base from decades of clay movement. The homeowner had tried shimming the hinges, but the post was essentially free-standing. We replaced the post with a steel-sleeved concrete footing, upgraded to a heavy-duty LiftMaster swing gate operator, and welded custom brackets to reinforce the frame — all in one trip, as promised.
Custom Welding
Custom welding in Hurst starts around $220 for basic bracket fabrication and ranges to $650+ for extensive frame repair or heavy-duty hinge mounts on oversized gates. Many Hurst homeowners with detached workshops or acreage-style properties need gates that standard hardware can’t handle — 16-foot spans, steel-framed gates, or antique hardware that needs matching weld patterns. We bring a portable MIG welder and steel stock to every Hurst job so we’re not deferring fabrication to a separate shop.
Your brand, our expertise — whether you’re running a Mighty Mule farm gate or a commercial DoorKing system, we can weld the mounting hardware to fit.
Hinge Replacement
Hinge replacement in Hurst typically costs $140–$280 for standard residential gates, or $320–$480 for heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges on larger gates. In Hurst’s older neighborhoods, we regularly find hinges that have seized solid after 20+ years of neglect, or lightweight original hinges that have elongated their bolt holes from trying to compensate for a racked frame. We don’t just swap the hinge — we check whether the post itself is plumb and whether the frame has twisted from clay soil movement.
Rail Repair
Bottom rail repair or replacement on wood gates in Hurst runs $180–$340. The combination of aging cedar or pine stock and ground contact on Tarrant County’s wet clay means rotted bottom rails are epidemic in Hurst’s original 1970s gates. We often discover this damage only when a heavy rain finally causes visible sagging — the rail has been compromised for years. We cut out the rot, splice in treated or steel-reinforced replacement rail, and weld custom brackets where the frame needs reinforcement.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
We carry parts and provide warranty-backed service for nine major gate operator brands — LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For Hurst homeowners, this means same-brand repair instead of trial-and-error guessing. If your Elite operator needs a new control board or your LiftMaster arm has stripped its internal gears, we stock common failure parts and can source specialty components with fast turnaround. Our welding capability extends this advantage: when a Mighty Mule farm gate needs custom hinge brackets or a DoorKing commercial system needs reinforced mounting, we fabricate on-site rather than waiting for shipped parts that may not fit.
Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Hurst Homes
- Gate posts pumped loose by expansive clay. Hurst’s black clay soil swells upward and laterally during spring rains, then contracts during summer drought. After 30+ years of this cycle, a 4×4 post can be pushed by hand. No hinge adjustment fixes a free-standing post — it needs full replacement with proper footing depth.
- Rotted bottom rails on 30+ year old wood gates. Hurst’s 1960s–1980s housing stock means original cedar or pine gates are commonly past service life. The bottom rail sits closest to ground contact and Tarrant County’s wet clay, making it the first structural component to fail — often hidden until a heavy rain causes sudden sagging.
- Seized hinges and rusted latch hardware from years of neglect. In Hurst’s older neighborhoods, we regularly encounter hinges that haven’t been lubricated in a decade and latches that have corroded solid. The hardware is often original to a 1970s installation and wasn’t designed for the gate’s current weight after water absorption has swelled the wood.
- Ice storm damage to automated operators and wood components. DFW’s periodic severe ice events — most recently February 2021 — load gate frames with frozen moisture, warp wood pickets, and strain automated operators trying to move ice-locked gates. We see cracked weld joints and stripped operator gears in Hurst after these events.

What moves your job within these ranges?

FAQs — Gate Parts & Welding in Hurst
Your gate posts are likely pumped loose by Hurst’s expansive black clay soil, not by hinge failure. Tarrant County’s clay swells during spring rains and shrinks during summer drought, gradually working posts out of their footings until they can be pushed by hand. Tightening hinges on a free-standing post just transfers the wobble to the gate frame. We replace the post with proper depth and often a steel sleeve or expanded concrete footing to resist future clay movement. Call (855) 914-8517 — we’ll check it in person and estimates are free.
Yes — we bring portable welding equipment and heavy-duty steel stock to every Hurst job, and we regularly fabricate custom hinge brackets for oversized or non-standard gates. A 16-foot span on a workshop gate typically needs ball-bearing or barrel hinges rated for 500+ pounds, often with gusseted mounting plates that we weld to match your frame dimensions. Most custom hinge fabrication for heavy gates in Hurst runs $280–$480 including installation. Call (855) 914-8517 to schedule — we’ll measure and weld in one trip.
Ice storms load gate frames with frozen moisture that increases operating weight, strains operator motors, and can warp wood components when moisture freezes in joints. After DFW’s February 2021 ice event, we saw stripped gears in LiftMaster and Elite operators across Hurst, plus cracked weld joints where frames had flexed under ice load. We inspect the operator, the frame welds, and the hinge points after any major ice event to catch damage before it cascades into full failure. If your gate struggled or stalled during recent winter weather, call (855) 914-8517 for inspection — we’ll check the electronics and the structure together.
If your cedar posts are original to a 1970s Hurst home, they’re likely at or past service life — and given Hurst’s clay soil, they’ve probably been working loose for years. We recommend proactive replacement when you notice the post moving independently of the gate, visible rot at the base, or the frame racking despite hinge adjustments. Waiting for complete failure usually means the frame itself gets damaged, turning a $320–$450 post replacement into a $600+ job involving rail and frame repair. We can assess post condition quickly — call (855) 914-8517 for a free evaluation.
We can match most weld finishes on antique or ornamental gate hardware by controlling heat, wire selection, and post-weld grinding to replicate the original appearance. For Hurst homeowners with vintage wrought iron or early steel gates, we document the existing weld pattern before cutting, then fabricate replacement components that blend with the aged metal. Custom ornamental welding in Hurst starts around $280 and varies with complexity. Bring photos or we’ll assess on-site — call (855) 914-8517 to schedule.
