Built for Properties That Need Security, Access, and Control
A gate is often the part of a fence system that gets used the most. It needs to provide the right access without creating traffic, security, clearance, or everyday usability problems.
For a business, that may mean controlling vehicles entering a warehouse yard, protecting equipment, managing employee access, or securing a parking area. For a homeowner, it may mean securing a driveway, improving privacy, keeping pets or children safely contained, or creating an entrance that complements the property.
We help solve needs such as:
Uncontrolled vehicle or pedestrian access
Unsecured driveways, parking areas, or restricted spaces
Equipment and property exposure
Poor traffic flow through commercial properties
Residential privacy and security needs
Entrances that need better functionality or appearance
Commercial & Industrial Gate Installation
Commercial and industrial gates need to do more than open and close. They often play an important role in security, traffic flow, deliveries, employee access, and daily facility operations.
We install commercial and industrial gate systems for warehouses, manufacturing and distribution facilities, storage and equipment yards, parking areas, schools, and other controlled-access properties.
Gate placement and design should account for vehicle size, traffic patterns, delivery routes, opening width, available clearance, security needs, and how frequently the entrance will be used.
Depending on the property, the right solution may be a manual vehicle gate, sliding gate, swing gate, automatic gate installation, barrier system, or custom access-controlled entrance.
Residential & Driveway Gate Installation
Residential gates can provide security, privacy, convenience, and a more finished entrance to the property.
Residential applications include driveway entrances, pedestrian and side-yard gates, privacy gates, pet and child containment, and custom estate entrances.
Residential gates can be designed to coordinate with chain link, aluminum, steel, wood, privacy fencing, and other fence systems.
For larger driveway entrances or properties where convenience and controlled access are priorities, an automatic or electric gate may be a better fit than a traditional manual gate.

How Much Does Gate Installation Cost in West Michigan?
Gate installation costs in Grand Rapids and West Michigan depend on the gate material, opening size, manual or automatic operation, access control, electrical requirements, site preparation, custom fabrication, and whether existing fencing or gates need to be removed. Smaller manual gates installed as part of a larger fence project may price differently from standalone turnkey gate installations.

Larger commercial, industrial, automated, or custom gate systems are evaluated based on the full scope of the entrance and access-control requirements. The most accurate way to determine pricing is to use the instant estimator for a starting point or schedule an in-person consultation for custom, automatic, commercial, or industrial gate projects.
Gate Installation Process
A properly planned gate should provide secure access without creating clearance, traffic flow, operational, or everyday usability problems.
During the estimate process, Executive Fence & Gate reviews the entrance, opening width, fence system, vehicle or pedestrian use, gate type, automation needs, access control, and site conditions before recommending a solution.
Consultation and Site Review
We review the property, entrance, opening size, access needs, fence layout, vehicle or pedestrian traffic, and project goals.

We determine the appropriate gate type, opening configuration, swing or slide direction, material, access-control needs, and installation approach.

You receive a defined scope based on the gate system, size, materials, operator or access-control requirements, site conditions, and project needs.
Scheduling and Coordination

Tyler and Mike are awesome individuals and so kind and professional. They are out of Byron center though they are heading huge projects from east MI to Northern MI. And yet they took time out for a spontaneous fence fix for a house we are preparing for market. They repaired two fence gates for me in less than a half hour and did this complimentary for me. I own a business that prepares houses from ground up and all interior for the market. I have just found our fence company!
I highly recommend Executice Fence and Gate! As their equipment supplier I can verify Tyler, Mike H, and Mike E are all very professional and easy to work with. When it’s time for me to upgrade my backyard fence I know who I’m calling!
Great company and easy to work with. Very timely on quote and install was a breeze. Very professional all the way around. I would highly recommend them for any fencing project.
I had a great experience working with Executive Fence & Gate. They were professional, organized, and easy to communicate with, and I appreciated their collaborative approach throughout the project.
The team at Executive Fence has superior customer service and quality second to none! We have used them at our residential home and business!
I got a quote quick and on the the schedule for the install right away. Workers came got everything installed in 2 days! Super happy
We had several quotes completed. Executives Fence and Gate was spot on with the other well known companies. What sold me though was the response time and customer service. Tyler was so knowledgeable and I could tell he actually wanted to make sure we were happy. Our fence turned out beautifully! I’ve already recommended them to friends and family. Thank you Executive Fence and Gate!
Best company hands down. I got a partial wood and black Chainlink fence for my dogs and wow. It was 400’ and they were done in 3 days. Super professional, incredibly responsive. I am one of those super high maintenance clients who needs it perfect and they delivered. Could not recommend them more. Thanks Tyler!!!
Executive Fence and Gate did an amazing job on our new fence in Hudsonville. Tyler responded quickly and helped us pick out the right fence for us. The quality is great! American made material. I’d recommend this company to everyone.

Gate Installation FAQs
How much does gate installation cost?
Professional gate installation can range from about $400–$1,500 for a basic chain-link gate to $3,500–$12,500+ for an automatic residential driveway gate. Commercial barrier and industrial automated systems may range from approximately $5,000 to $25,000+ depending on gate size, material, access control, electrical requirements, site conditions, and overall project complexity.
Do you provide automatic gate installation?
Yes. Executive Fence & Gate installs automatic and electric gate systems for residential driveways, commercial entrances, parking lots, industrial properties, and other controlled-access locations. The right system depends on the gate size, opening configuration, frequency of use, available space, power requirements, security goals, and how vehicles or people need to move through the entrance.
What is the difference between a sliding gate and a swing gate?
A swing gate opens inward or outward around a hinged post, while a sliding gate moves horizontally along the fence line. Swing gates can work well for driveways and entrances with adequate clearance. Sliding gates are often useful for commercial, industrial, or space-constrained properties where a large gate cannot safely swing through the surrounding area.
Do you provide security gate installation and access control?
Yes. Executive Fence & Gate installs security gates and access control solutions for commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential properties. The appropriate system depends on the entrance layout, gate configuration, security requirements, vehicle or pedestrian traffic, and how access needs to be managed. Access control can be incorporated into new gate installations when required.
Can you install driveway gates for residential properties?
Yes. Executive Fence & Gate installs manual, automatic, and custom driveway gates for residential properties. A driveway gate can improve security, privacy, controlled access, and curb appeal. The right design depends on driveway width, available swing or slide clearance, fence material, terrain, desired appearance, and whether manual or electric operation is preferred.
How do I choose a gate installer near me?
Look for a gate installer with experience in the type of system you need, whether that is a standard residential gate, automatic driveway gate, commercial vehicle gate, or access-control system. Property layout, gate design, installation quality, communication, and ongoing functionality should all be considered when comparing gate installers near you.
