About San Diego Electric Gate Professionals


Founded in 2008, San Diego Electric Gate Professionals emerged when a master electrician and an automation specialist identified a critical gap in San Diego's security industry. While many contractors offered basic gate services, few combined technical precision with responsive customer care—essential elements for truly reliable gate systems.


Our company began with four specialists focusing on residential gate repairs, but our reputation for technical expertise and exceptional service quickly expanded throughout San Diego County. According to the American Fence Association, properly installed and maintained electric gates increase property values by 3-7% while reducing insurance premiums by up to 10%—benefits we've delivered to over 3,500 residential and commercial clients.


Today, our team of 18 certified technicians completes more than 1,200 installations and 2,800 service calls annually across San Diego County. We maintain a California contractor license with specialized certifications from leading manufacturers, including LiftMaster, DoorKing, and FAAC.


As a locally owned business, we understand San Diego's unique architectural styles, security concerns, and environmental challenges. This local knowledge, combined with our technical expertise and customer-first approach, has established us as San Diego's premier gate automation specialists—a position we maintain through continuous education, quality materials, and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.


Our mission remains clear: delivering gate solutions that perfectly balance security, convenience, and reliability while providing an exceptional customer experience from first contact through ongoing maintenance.

Why Choose San Diego Electric Gate Professionals?

When selecting a gate contractor, experience, reliability, and technical capability make all the difference in both immediate results and long-term satisfaction. San Diego Electric Gate Professionals delivers exceptional value through:

Unmatched Expertise

Our team brings specialized knowledge, ensuring optimal results for every project:



  • Factory-Certified Technicians - Our installation and repair specialists complete manufacturer training programs from leading gate system producers, including LiftMaster, DoorKing, and FAAC. This specialized education ensures proper installation and troubleshooting of complex electronic components.
  • Licensed Contractors - We maintain appropriate California contractor licensing (LIC# XXXXXXX) with specialty classifications covering all aspects of gate system installation, including electrical and structural components. This comprehensive licensing ensures all work meets applicable building codes and safety standards.
  • Continuous Education - Our technicians regularly complete updated certification courses covering new technologies, safety standards, and installation techniques. This ongoing education ensures our team remains current with industry advancements and best practices.
  • Specialized Experience - With over 5,000 successful installations and repairs throughout San Diego County, our team has encountered and resolved virtually every gate system challenge possible. This extensive experience translates to efficient diagnosis and effective solutions for your specific situation.


According to industry statistics from the Door and Access Systems Manufacturers Association, technicians with specialized certification resolve issues correctly on the first visit 94% of the time, compared to 61% for non-certified personnel. This expertise difference significantly impacts both immediate results and long-term system reliability.

Superior Materials and Equipment

We utilize only premium components, ensuring reliable operation and extended service life:



  • Commercial-Grade Operators - Installation of heavy-duty gate motors designed for reliability under continuous use conditions. These professional-grade systems offer significantly longer service life compared to consumer-grade alternatives often used by less experienced contractors.
  • Stainless Steel Hardware - Utilization of corrosion-resistant fasteners and components throughout our installations, particularly important in San Diego's coastal environments where standard hardware quickly deteriorates. This material selection prevents the premature failure common with lesser-quality installations.
  • Properly Sized Components - Selection of gate operators and accessories based on actual gate specifications rather than minimum requirements. This engineering-based approach ensures comfortable performance margins, preventing premature wear and system strain.
  • Advanced Diagnostic Equipment - Utilization of specialized testing tools allowing precise identification of intermittent issues and potential problems before they cause complete system failure. This technology enables preventative maintenance addressing developing issues before they impact operation.


Material quality directly impacts system reliability and maintenance requirements. Our component selection typically results in 40-60% longer service intervals compared to industry averages, reducing your long-term ownership costs while providing more reliable daily operation.

Comprehensive Service Capabilities

We provide complete support throughout your gate system's life cycle:



  • 24/7 Emergency Response - Around-the-clock availability for urgent situations requiring immediate attention. Our emergency service vehicles maintain comprehensive parts inventory, enabling most repairs to be completed during the initial visit regardless of time.
  • Preventative Maintenance Programs - Scheduled service plans preventing costly emergency repairs through regular inspection and adjustment of critical components. These programs include priority scheduling and preferential service rates for participating clients.
  • Access Control Integration - Seamless connection of gate systems with comprehensive security solutions, including cameras, intercoms, and property management systems. This integration capability eliminates compatibility issues common with multiple-vendor approaches.
  • Custom Fabrication - In-house design and production capabilities for specialized components when standard products cannot meet unique requirements. This capability ensures solutions for even the most challenging or unusual gate applications.


Our comprehensive capabilities eliminate the need for multiple contractors, providing single-source accountability for your entire entrance system. This integrated approach prevents the coordination problems and finger-pointing often experienced when multiple specialized vendors are involved in a single project.

Customer-Focused Approach

We prioritize your experience throughout every interaction:



  • Clear Communication - Straightforward explanation of technical issues in understandable terms, with detailed written estimates provided before work begins. This transparency eliminates surprise costs and ensures you make informed decisions about your gate system.
  • Scheduled Appointments - Specific time commitments rather than vague arrival windows, respecting your schedule and minimizing disruption to your activities. We maintain on-time arrival for over 95% of scheduled appointments.
  • Clean Workmanship - Thorough cleanup after installation or repair work, leaving your property in better condition than we found it. Our technicians use drop cloths, wear boot covers when entering buildings, and remove all packaging and replaced parts upon completion.
  • Detailed Documentation - Comprehensive records of all work performed, parts installed, and future recommendations provided after every service visit. This documentation creates a valuable service history for your system and facilitates appropriate maintenance planning.
