Gate installation in Tice usually means replacing an older chain-link or welded steel gate on a generous unincorporated lot, and it rarely looks like the tidy subdivision work you see further south. The soil runs sandy, the summers punish hardware, and many existing posts were set by a previous owner rather than a contractor. Courtyard Gate Repair has served Tice since 2017, and we handle the full job from footing to final sensor alignment. Call (844) 791-3898 for a free on-site estimate.
Why Tice Homes Are Different
Tice is unincorporated Lee County, and that changes the work before we ever touch a gate. Properties here are a blend of mid-century and 1970s-80s Florida ranch homes, manufactured homes, and small rental multifamily buildings, most sitting on large lots with unpaved drive aprons and no curbs. The gates we see are practical rather than decorative: chain-link driveway gates, welded steel yard gates, and slide gates guarding small commercial compounds along Palm Beach Boulevard.
Two realities define gate work in Tice. First, Lee County permits and inspections govern every installation, which means footings, setbacks, and operator placement follow county rules rather than Fort Myers city code. Second, sandy fill under those wide lots makes post depth and concrete mass the difference between a gate that stays square and one that sags within two years. Add subtropical heat, afternoon downpours, and UV that bakes plastic housings brittle, and you have a market where older owner-installed gates fail in predictable, fixable ways. That is exactly the work we do every week.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Tice Services
Most calls from Tice fall into two buckets: a gate that stopped moving reliably, or an operator that quit entirely. Here is how each one plays out here.
Gate Repair in Tice
Older Tice gates carry the wear of years of rain, heat, and sandy soil. Hinges sag on soft-set posts, slide gate rollers chew grooves into the track, and chain-link mesh separates at the tension bands. We straighten posts, rehang leaves, replace rollers and hinges, and bring manual gates back to smooth operation before small problems turn into a full replacement. On a lot with no curb and a limestone drive apron, a gate that drags is usually a post that rotated, not a gate that needs trashing. Gate Repair in Tice
Electric Gate Repair in Tice
Automated gates in Tice fail most often after the summer rainy season. Water intrudes into operator housings, photo-eye sensors corrode at the terminals, and boards short from humidity even when the enclosure looks sealed. We diagnose the actual failure, whether it is a Mighty Mule board, a LiftMaster limit switch, or a photo-eye that lost alignment during a storm. The fix is usually a component replacement, not a whole new operator. Electric Gate Repair in Tice

Gate Installation in Tice
Most new gate installations in Tice replace a worn chain-link or welded steel gate that has outlived its posts, or add the first real driveway gate to a property that never had one. The sandy fill, county permitting, and wide unpaved aprons mean we plan footings and drainage differently than we would in a gated Fort Myers community. That is the job: build a gate that opens smoothly through Tice’s rainy season and stays square on soil that shifts. We handle Gate Installation from rough grade to final sensor test.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You are unlocking and dragging a driveway gate by hand several times a day, or a guest, tenant, or delivery driver has to leave the vehicle to get in.
What it costs in Tice
Automatic gate installation in Tice typically falls between $2,200 and $11,000 depending on the operator type and gate weight.
How we do it
We set posts to county depth, hang the gate level on the slope you actually have, mount the operator, run power to the site, and align the safety sensors and travel limits.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
The existing driveway gate drags on the ground, the posts lean inward, or there is no gate at all and you want to control access to the property.
What it costs in Tice
Driveway gate installation in Tice usually runs from $3,800 to $15,000 depending on whether it is a single swing, a double swing, or a cantilever slide.
How we do it
We measure the apron and grade, fabricate or order the gate to match your opening, pour concrete footings sized for sandy soil, and set the gate on hinges or rollers before adding the operator if you want automation.
Sliding Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway slopes sharply or the apron is short, so a swing gate cannot open fully without hitting a vehicle, a fence line, or the road shoulder.
What it costs in Tice
Sliding gate installation in Tice is more involved and typically ranges from $2,500 to $15,500 with the motor, track, and footing work included.
How we do it
We pour a continuous reinforced footing along the fence line, set the track or cantilever rollers, hang the gate, and install the operator with travel limits and safety edges dialed to your opening.
What Gate Installation Costs in Tice
| Item | Typical range in Tice |
|---|---|
| Automatic gate installation | $2,200 – $11,000 |
| Driveway gate installation | $3,800 – $15,000 |
| Sliding gate installation | $2,500 – $15,500 |
On top of the gate itself, expect to budget for a pad-mounted or poured concrete footing, electrical conduit from the house or a nearby panel, and the operator, which can add $900 to $3,000 depending on horsepower and duty cycle. The price you are quoted before we start is the price on the invoice, and you approve every number before any work begins.
How long does a gate installation take in Tice?
Most Tice installations run one to two days for the gate, posts, and operator, with another day booked if we are pouring fresh footings or pulling a new electrical run. County permitting can add a few business days to the schedule, and we handle that paperwork on your behalf.
Do you handle the electrical and permit work?
Yes. We pull the Lee County permit, schedule the inspection, and manage the electrical run from the panel to the operator, including conduit and a weatherproof disconnect. You are not coordinating with a separate electrician or chasing the county yourself. Call (844) 791-3898 for a free measure and written quote.
Brands We Service in Tice
We work on the operators Tice property owners actually own: DoorKing and Elite on commercial compounds along the corridor, Mighty Mule on working farms and rural lots, LiftMaster on newer residential installs. We carry common boards, remotes, photo-eyes, and limit switches in local stock, so most repair parts do not wait on a distributor. See our brands for the full list.

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."
— Paul Schaefer"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."
— Danielle Quinn"Fixed the immediate problem. He was honest that the operator is near end of life and I should budget for a replacement, which I appreciate even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear."
— Brian Lawson
