AfterAutomatic Gate Repair in Henderson, NV
Electric gate repair in Henderson covers the motor, control board, safety sensors, and moving hardware that open and close your driveway gate. Most automatic gate failures in Henderson come down to three things: a burned-out capacitor from 110-degree summer days, a misaligned safety sensor, or a limit switch that has drifted out of position. Carver Gate Repair Henderson fixes all three, plus the deeper electrical issues, and we do it with a written price in your hand before any work starts. Call (775) 307-6571 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.
This page covers what we repair, what it costs, and how the process works. If you need broader information, see our Gate Repair page or the Gate Repair in Henderson overview.
When You Need Automatic Gate Repair
Automatic gates fail in predictable ways. Here are the symptoms Henderson homeowners call us about most often:
- The gate opens but will not close. This usually points to a photo eye sensor that is dirty, misaligned, or baking in direct afternoon sun. It is the single most common automatic gate issue we see in Green Valley and Anthem.
- The gate hums but does not move. That hum is the motor getting power but the capacitor failing to give it the starting jolt. Henderson’s summer heat shortens capacitor life, and we replace them regularly throughout July and August.
- The gate stops halfway or reverses for no reason. A limit switch tells the operator where the gate should stop. When it drifts, the gate thinks it has hit something. This is a calibration fix, but it needs a tech who knows your specific board.
- The keypad, remote, or intercom stopped working. Some of these are simple reprogramming jobs. Others mean a receiver board has failed. Either way, the fix starts with knowing which brand of operator is mounted on your post.
- The gate swings loose or sags on its hinges. Weight shift and worn hinges strain the operator. Left alone, a sagging gate burns out a motor that was never designed to drag dead weight across the driveway.
- The gate opened once and now will not respond at all. This can be a tripped breaker, a blown fuse on the control board, or a failed transformer. We trace it in order until we find the actual fault, not a guess.
Our Automatic Gate Repair Process
We run every automatic gate repair in Henderson through the same five steps. It keeps the work consistent and keeps you informed from the first call to the final test cycle.
- You call (775) 307-6571, a live person answers. No voicemail tree. We ask what the gate is doing, what brand of operator you have if you know it, and when you need us there. We book a window and we keep it.
- A uniformed, background-checked technician arrives and diagnoses the system. We check the operator brand and model first. We test the control board, the safety sensors, the limit switches, and the mechanical hardware. We find the fault and we tell you what we found in plain language.
- You get a written price before any work begins. The number on that paper is the number you pay. It does not change at the door, after the panel comes off, or when the job is done.
- We complete the repair and test the full cycle. Open, close, stop, reverse, sensor interruption, remote, keypad. The gate leaves our hands operating as it should. We clean up the work area before we pull out of the driveway.
- You get a written guarantee good for a full year. That is the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the same repair fails inside that year, we come back and fix it free. No charge, no argument, no fine print.
Automatic Gate Repair Pricing in Henderson
Automatic gate repair in Henderson typically runs between $185 and $580 depending on what failed and which operator you have. A capacitor replacement, a gate realignment, or a limit switch calibration sits at the lower end. A control board replacement on a LiftMaster or FAAC unit lands closer to the middle. A full swing or slide operator replacement runs higher, and that is when a repair-versus-replace conversation matters. Here is a straight breakdown of what we commonly see across Henderson, from Inspirada to MacDonald Ranch:
| Repair Type | Typical Range in Henderson |
|---|---|
| Photo eye sensor replacement or realignment | $185 – $260 |
| Capacitor replacement | $190 – $275 |
| Limit switch adjustment or replacement | $195 – $310 |
| Keypad / receiver board replacement | $240 – $390 |
| Control board replacement | $320 – $580 |
| Complete operator (motor) replacement | $850 – $1,900 |
What moves the price is the operator brand, the age of the system, and whether the mechanical hardware has been neglected. A gate that has been sagging for two years costs more to repair than one caught in the first week of symptoms. That is why we give the written quote before work starts: you know the number before you commit a dollar. Estimates are free. Call (775) 307-6571 and we will put a real number on your specific gate.
Brands We Work On
Most Henderson automatic gate systems run on one of four operator brands. We service all of them, and we carry parts for each:
- LiftMaster: The most common operator in Henderson’s newer subdivisions. We keep control boards, capacitors, and remotes in stock for the common LiftMaster models.
- FAAC: Popular on swing gates, especially the hydraulic and articulating arm models. FAAC systems need a tech who understands the arm geometry, not just the wiring.
- BFT: Common on slide gates and commercial-grade residential installs. BFT boards have specific diagnostic sequences, and we read them correctly.
- Linear: Found on many older Henderson homes and a lot of solar-powered gate setups. Linear operators are durable, but when they fail, the repair is about matching the right board revision to the right motor.
Our technicians train on nine operator brands, including these four, so the parts and the know-how match the system already bolted to your post.
Why Henderson Homeowners Call Carver Gate Repair
We did not open yesterday. Carver Gate Repair is part of the Garrison Partners family, and we have operated to The Garrison Standard since 2008. That standard is a written code our technicians work under. It covers how we quote, how we dress, how we clean up, and how we stand behind the work. Every Henderson location is independently owned and operated, but every location is bound to the same standard. That means the promise holds whether you live in Anthem, Green Valley Ranch, or out toward Lake Las Vegas.
The Garrison Standard means three things you can hold us to:
- Written prices before work starts. No estimates that grow once the gate is open. The number on the written quote is the number on the invoice.
- Background-checked, uniformed technicians. You know exactly who is coming through your gate. You know who they work for. You know they have been vetted.
- A written guarantee on every repair, good for a full year. If the repair fails within 365 days, we return and make it right at no charge. That is the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it is on paper, not a handshake.
Henderson homeowners call us after other companies have burned them. They call us after a no-show, after a price that moved at the door, after a tech who left dirt and bolts in the driveway. We answer those calls with a real person, any time of day. Then we show up and do the job the way the quote said we would. If your gate is down and you want a straight answer on what it will cost, call (775) 307-6571.
FAQs – Automatic Gate Repair

How much does gate repair cost? (2026 Price Guide) - Henderson, NV Typically between $185 and $580 for common fixes like sensor realignment, capacitor replacement, limit switch adjustment, and control board replacement.

Can you repair an automatic gate the same day?
Yes, in most cases we can have a technician to your Henderson home the same day you call. We keep common LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear parts on the truck, which means many repairs are completed in a single visit. If your gate is stuck open or stuck shut and leaving your home exposed, tell the live person who answers and we will prioritize the call.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace an automatic gate operator?
Repair is cheaper when the fault is a single component like a capacitor, sensor, or limit switch. Replacement makes sense when the operator is more than 12 to 15 years old, the board has failed and the motor is weak, or the repair cost approaches 60% of a new operator. We will give you both numbers in writing and let you decide. We do not push replacements when a repair will hold.
What brands of automatic gate openers do you repair?
We repair nine brands of gate operators, including LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. The tech we send and the parts we bring depend on which brand is mounted on your gate post. Tell us the brand when you call (775) 307-6571 and we will make sure the truck is stocked for it.

It is the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it is part of The Garrison Standard every Carver location works under.
