Hills, long driveways and gated streets shape every Lakeway job. We repair and install driveway gate openers, and we work on the garage doors too.
(512) 777-0412
Lakeway began as a resort community in 1963, so the housing stretches from older homes in Old Lakeway to newer custom builds in Rough Hollow, Serene Hills and Lakeway Highlands. Many properties sit on steep lots with long drives, and several communities, including The Hills of Lakeway, are gated. That means two jobs come up often here. Large or heavy garage doors on estate homes need springs sized to the actual door, and driveway gates on a slope need an operator rated for the grade and the gate weight.
Field notes

Landmarks
A driveway that drops toward the street puts extra load on a swing or slide gate operator. A gate that drifts open or will not latch is often a leveling, hinge or limit setting problem before it is a dead motor. We check the grade, the hinges and the arm travel first.
Central Texas summers cook control boards and batteries in enclosures that face the sun. If your gate works in the morning and quits by late afternoon, tell us. Heat and low backup battery voltage are common causes.
With a deep driveway, the gate may sit a long way from the house power and the opener. Long wire runs mean voltage drop, and a weak signal from a remote or keypad. We test power at the operator, not just at the panel.
Wide doors and insulated or wood-look doors weigh more, and a spring that was fine when the door was new can wear out sooner. We match the spring to the door weight and recommend a higher-cycle spring when the door is the main entrance.
From the 304 E Main St office in downtown Round Rock, take RM 620 southwest through Anderson Mill and Lakeline, cross the Colorado River at Mansfield Dam, and continue on RM 620 into Lakeway.
Yes. We repair gate openers, replace keypads and intercoms, and install new swing and slide gate operators. A gate service call starts at $95. New gate openers and new gates start at an estimate, and we recommend a free on-site quote because slope, gate weight and power run change the job.
Usually yes, but the community gate has to let us in. Tell us the street and any visitor code when you call, or have your HOA or gate attendant ready to approve us. We service your private driveway gate, not the community entrance.
Springs start at $229 for a single torsion spring and $349 for a pair. Door size, weight and the cycle rating you pick move the price. You hear the number before any work begins.
Garage door visits are $49 and gate visits start at $95. Either one is waived when you approve the repair that day. A trip outside 7am to 8pm adds $149.
Open daily 7am to 8pm. After-hours emergency line. 304 E Main St #204, Round Rock.
