Gate installation in Crestline means building for snow load, slope, and soil that moves. Most of the homes here are mid-century and 1960s-70s mountain cabins on pier-and-post foundations, plus newer custom builds cut into hillsides, so there’s rarely a flat concrete pad to work from. That changes how we set posts, hang gates, and wire operators. If you need a gate built or an existing one repaired at 4,000-5,000 feet, call Ontario Gate Company at (855) 707-3634. We specialize exclusively in gates, and we’ve served Crestline since 2011.
Why Crestline Homes Are Different
Crestline’s terrain does things to gates that flatland installers never see. The ground here cycles through hard freezes and thaws all winter, and that heaves post footings loose season after season. After a big snowpack, county plows push berms against roadside gates, and when those berms melt and refreeze, posts lean and gates stop latching. We see it every spring. Soil creep on sloped lots does the same thing more slowly, pushing posts downhill year-round until a gate drags on its hinge side. Older posts here are often pressure-treated wood set directly into mountain soil, not concrete, and they rot and shift faster than anyone expects. Summer brings the opposite problem: heat and dry Santa Ana winds crack wood pickets and warp panels. Wildfire clearance rules also require keeping vegetation back from gates and fences, which affects how we lay out any new install in Crestline. We plan for all of this before we dig.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Crestline Services
Most calls we get in Crestline fall into two categories: a gate that won’t open or close properly, and a gate whose electric operator has failed. Both are covered below.
Gate Repair in Crestline
A gate in Crestline takes abuse from snow, ice, plow berms, and shifting soil. Hinges bind, posts lean, latch bars stop meeting strike plates, and wheels on sliding gates come off their track. We diagnose on-site, because the fix for a dragging gate here is usually structural alignment work, not a new part. If your gate won’t latch or drags on the ground, see Gate Repair in Crestline for what we check and what it costs.
Electric Gate Repair in Crestline
Electric gate repair is a core part of what we do, not an add-on. Cold mountain winters strain operators, and freeze-thaw cycling can pull conduit loose or let moisture into control boards. We service motors, control boards, loop detectors, safety sensors, and access-control integration for residential and commercial systems across Crestline. Most electric failures here trace back to a specific component we can identify on the first visit. Details are on our Electric Gate Repair in Crestline page.

Gate Installation in Crestline
New gate installation in Crestline has to account for ground that heaves, dries, and creeps. Most Crestline homes sit on sloped lots with pier-and-post foundations rather than flat pads, so we size footings deeper and set posts in concrete that reaches below the frost line wherever the grade allows. A gate that’s plumb and square in September will bind by February if the footing isn’t right. We build from the start for snow load and drainage, and we quote the full job, including any operator or access wiring, before any work begins. This is the work we describe in detail on our Gate Installation page.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re opening and closing your gate by hand multiple times a day and want keypad, remote, or phone-based entry instead.
What it costs in Crestline
Automatic gate installation in Crestline typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 or more, depending on gate size, operator type, and whether trenching is needed for power and communication wiring.
How we do it
We evaluate gate weight and post condition first, then match the correct operator, run power to the location, mount the operator, and program remotes, keypads, and any vehicle detection loops the site requires.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway opens directly onto a mountain road and you want a physical barrier for privacy, security, or keeping plowed snow from becoming a pass-through.
What it costs in Crestline
A new driveway gate installation in Crestline typically falls between $2,500 and $7,500, with the final figure depending on gate width, material, and whether an automatic operator is included.
How we do it
We survey the driveway slope and existing posts, set or replace footings below frost depth where possible, hang the gate square to the grade, and test the swing or slide path through its full range before finishing.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway climbs steeply or curves in a way that leaves no room for a swinging gate leaf to arc open.
What it costs in Crestline
Sliding gate installation in Crestline generally costs $3,000 to $8,000 depending on track type, gate panel material, and whether you’re adding a motor.
How we do it
We set a level track or cantilever system that tolerates grade changes, install the gate panel, adjust roller alignment, and confirm the full travel path clears any snow berm or drainage feature.

What Crestline Customers Say
"We had a hydraulic arm leaking fluid onto the driveway. Replaced, cleaned up the stain as best he could, and it's been dry for months."
— Adam Whitaker"Control board fried after a lightning storm. He showed me the burn mark on it, quoted the board, and installed a surge protector on the line so it hopefully doesn't happen again."
— Riya Shah"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
