Tice is a different kind of gate market than the rest of east Fort Myers. Most of the housing here is older single-family and modest ranch homes on slab foundations, sitting on large, irregular rural-edge lots where gates hang on galvanized or painted-steel posts that have been in the ground for decades. That shapes everything we do as a gate company in Tice, FL: installation work here means reading soft, shifting ground and settling posts before a single hinge is hung. We repair, automate and install gates for residential and commercial properties, and our technicians have up to 10 years of experience with electric and manual systems.

Why Tice Homes Are Different
Drive through Tice and you’ll notice the gates rarely sit at the end of a paved, level driveway. On the large rural-edge lots that define this part of east Fort Myers, gates often land at the end of long unpaved drives and alley-style easements with no hardscape underneath. When summer downpours saturate that soil, posts lean and hinges bind – not because the gate is worn out, but because the ground moved. That’s a repair job here, and it’s genuinely different from adjusting an opener on a solid apron.
The housing stock reinforces it. Older single-family and modest ranch-style homes on slab foundations, many mid-century with later infill, frequently carrying chain-link, wrought-iron and homemade field gates. Galvanized and painted-steel posts dominate, older rolling and swing driveway gates are common, and modern automated systems are still the exception rather than the rule. The subtropical Gulf climate does the rest: a long humid season, heavy summer downpours and hurricane-season wind exposure rust steel fast, swell and sag wooden leaves, and push gate posts out of plumb. Re-hanging, rust treatment and storm-rated bracing come up constantly in Tice. Because the area is unincorporated, permit questions on gate work route through the county rather than a city office, so we tell every owner to confirm requirements with the county building department before work is scheduled.

Our Main Tice Services
Two jobs come up more than any other on Tice properties: getting a tired gate swinging and latching again, and getting an automated system to actually respond.
Gate Repair in Tice
Repair work in Tice usually starts at the post, not the gate. On rural-edge lots, soil movement and water runoff push steel posts out of plumb, which throws the whole leaf off square and makes hinges bind even when the hardware itself is sound. So the first thing we check is whether the gate is failing or the ground under it has shifted. Rusted hinges, sagging wooden leaves, dragging latches and gates that won’t close flush are all common here, and resetting a post in soft ground is a routine part of the job. For a closer look at how we handle this, see gate repair in Tice.
Electric Gate Repair in Tice
Automated gates are less common in Tice than west of the river, but they’re out here – and when one stops responding, it’s rarely just a mechanical problem. Motors, circuit boards, safety edges and access-control components all fail in their own ways, and a general handyman won’t touch most of it. We work on the electronics and the mechanics as one system, which means we’re not guessing at a generic fix. Older operators on aging posts also tend to combine electrical faults with alignment issues, so both get diagnosed together. Read more about electric gate repair in Tice.
Gate Installation in Tice
Installing a gate in Tice means solving a problem most gate crews don’t plan for: the ground itself. With mid-century and later ranch homes on oversized rural-edge lots, gates frequently sit at the end of long unpaved drives and easements, so a new gate has to be set to proper footing depth in soft soil and braced for hurricane-season wind rather than bolted to a concrete apron that doesn’t exist. Salt air and a long humid season rust steel fast, so material choice matters as much as the mechanism. Whether you’re replacing a homemade field gate with a proper swing gate or adding an automated entrance for a small commercial lot, our Gate Installation work is measured, ordered and scheduled, and every job starts with a free on-site measure and a written price.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
A homemade field gate or a decades-old chain-link leaf that drags, sags and won’t stay closed is telling you the posts and hardware have reached the end of their working life.
What it costs in Tice
Driveway gate installation in Tice typically runs $2,200 to $6,500, with the written estimate setting the final price once we’ve measured the opening and checked the ground.
How we do it
We measure the opening and the run of the drive, set the posts to proper footing depth in the existing soil, hang and level the leaves, then check the latch, swing and clearance before we call it done.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
If you’re manually opening a heavy driveway gate several times a day, or you’ve inherited an old operator that no longer works and can’t be sourced for parts, automating the entrance makes sense.
What it costs in Tice
Automatic gate installation in Tice typically falls between $3,500 and $9,000, depending on whether the power run and safety edges are part of the job.
How we do it
We fit the operator to the gate you have or the one we’re installing, run and connect the power and control wiring, mount the safety edges, and test the open and close cycles before handover.
What Gate Installation Costs in Tice
| Item | Typical range in Tice |
|---|---|
| Driveway gate installation | $2,200 – $6,500 |
| Automatic gate installation | $3,500 – $9,000 |
| Sliding gate installation | $2,800 – $7,500 |
Do you handle the power run and the safety edges on a Tice installation?
Yes. We handle the electrical run to the operator and the safety edges that stop the gate reversing onto a person or vehicle. Both are quoted in the written estimate before any work begins.
How long does a gate installation take in Tice?
Most residential installations are completed in a scheduled visit once the gate and operator are ordered. Because Tice lots are often unpaved and irregular, we measure on site first so the posts and footing are planned correctly. Call (855) 687-9638 for a free estimate.

In Tice, what pushes a price up is rarely the gate itself – it’s ground conditions. Soft soil, unpaved access and posts that need resetting to proper footing depth add work that a level paved driveway would not. Rusted-through posts on older rural-edge lots are the other common factor. Whatever the job, the price is quoted and agreed before any work starts, and the written estimate sets the final number.

What Tice 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."
- Danielle Fletcher"Gate works properly now and the price was fair. The one thing is that it took two visits, because the operator model we have is old and the part had to be ordered. They didn't charge for the second trip."
- Javier Mendoza"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
- Beatriz Delgado
