We’re Vance Gate Repair, and we handle the gates Lilburn homeowners actually own: ornamental iron swing gates on Camp Creek Road, HOA entrance systems off Five Forks Trickum, and the welded steel driveway gates that have been sitting in red clay since the 1990s. Georgia clay doesn’t forgive sloppy post work. We document every adjustment and leave you the photos.
Why Lilburn Homes Are Different
Lilburn’s housing stock is almost entirely 1975-2005 construction, brick-front and wood-frame homes in subdivisions with mature canopy and HOA-maintained entrance gates. Those common-area gates and private driveway systems are now 25-40 years old, hitting end-of-life together.
The red clay subsoil here expands and contracts dramatically with seasonal wet-dry cycles. We’ve reset posts off Five Forks Trickum Road that tilted two inches out of plumb in under three years. That clay also holds moisture against iron gate bottoms, accelerating rust pitting faster than in sandy markets. Summer thunderstorms drop oak and pine limbs onto operators and hinge hardware. Gwinnett County’s 50+ inches of annual rainfall swells wooden gate boards at the bottom rails. These conditions mean a “simple” gate call in Lilburn usually involves post realignment, hinge adjustment, or rust remediation before the operator itself gets attention.

Gate Installation in Lilburn

Wooden gates in the same areas rot at the bottom. We cut out damaged steel, weld in new material, and replace posts that clay has heaved out of plumb. Our Gate Parts & Welding hub covers fabrication options.

How we do it
We support the gate, cut off the corroded hinge, weld or bolt the new one to plumb, and grease before documenting the new pin position.
Post Replacement
Signs you need it
Post leans more than one inch, concrete footing is cracked, or the gate drags at one side.
What it costs in Lilburn
Post replacement runs $380-$720 depending on depth needed for clay stability and gate weight.
How we do it
We excavate the old footing, set a new post in concrete below the clay active layer, brace until cure, and rehang the gate to level.

| Item | Typical range in Lilburn |
|---|---|
| Hinge replacement (per hinge) | $140-$280 |
| Post replacement | $380-$720 |
| Rail repair / section welding | $180-$420 |
| Custom fabrication (per linear foot) | $85-$150 |
Can you weld my gate on-site?
Yes, we bring a portable MIG rig for most steel repairs. Aluminum or ornamental iron requiring TIG work may need shop fabrication. We’ll quote both options in writing before starting.
Why does my gate post keep tilting?
Lilburn’s red clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry, exerting lateral pressure on the footing. We set posts deeper with wider footings and add drainage stone to reduce soil contact. Call (470) 885-1464 for an assessment.

- Nadine C."Honest about what did not need doing. Told me the operator had years left and only the control board needed replacing."
- Douglas N."The safety loop had never been installed correctly by the previous company. They showed me the reading, fixed it, and did not charge me for the diagnosis."
