The Big Fence Companies Will Not Come for Just a Repair
Here is a situation Austin property owners know well. Your driveway gate hinge breaks. You call the fence company that installed it — they say they are booked out three weeks and their minimum dispatch fee is $400. You call two more companies. Same story. One of them tells you flat out they do not do repairs — only full replacements.
So your gate sits broken. Your property is exposed. And you are left trying to find someone who will actually show up for a job that does not involve selling you a whole new fence.
That is exactly the gap Proud Steel was built to fill.
Our mobile welding setup dispatches across Greater Austin for structural steel repairs — broken hinges, bent posts, failed latches, stuck cantilever tracks, cracked weld joints, and damaged gate frames. We bring everything we need to your property. Our setup runs on its own power — we do not need access to your home or facility's electricity. And we do not have a minimum job size that prices out the repair you actually need.
If it is made of steel and it is broken — we can fix it.
Proud Steel handles a wide range of structural steel repair work on-site at your property. Here are the most common repair scenarios we dispatch for across Greater Austin.
What We Build
Steel Fence & Gate Repairs We Handle Across Austin
Broken Gate Hinges & Hinge Plates
A broken gate hinge is one of the most common — and most urgent — repair calls we get. Heavy steel gates put enormous stress on hinges over time, especially when the gate post has shifted or the hinge was undersized for the gate weight in the first place. Proud Steel welds new commercial-grade hinges directly on-site — properly sized for your gate's actual weight and welded to hold, not just tacked in place. Signs you need this repair: Gate dragging on the ground · Gate listing to one side · Hinge pulling away from the post · Gate that will not close flush
Bent or Leaning Fence Posts
A delivery truck clips your fence post. A car backs into your driveway gate column. A post that was set too shallow finally gives way after a wet season. Bent or leaning steel posts are a structural problem — not a cosmetic one — and they affect the integrity of everything attached to them. Proud Steel assesses the damage on-site and determines whether the post can be straightened and reinforced or needs to be replaced entirely. Signs you need this repair: Post visibly leaning or bent · Gate no longer aligning with the latch · Section of fence pulling away from the post · Post rocking at the base
Failed Gate Latches & Drop Rods
A gate latch that will not engage or a drop rod that will not seat properly is a security problem disguised as a minor inconvenience. Left unaddressed these failures compound — the gate swings freely, the frame gets stressed, and a simple latch repair turns into a gate replacement. Proud Steel repairs and replaces heavy-duty commercial and residential gate latches and drop rods on-site. Signs you need this repair: Latch not catching or engaging · Drop rod bent or seized · Gate swinging open on its own · Latch mechanism damaged by impact
Cantilever Gate Track & Roller Repairs
Cantilever gates are the workhorses of commercial and residential driveways — but their track and roller systems take a beating over time. Warped tracks, seized rollers, and misaligned carriages all cause the same symptom: a gate that drags, sticks, or will not travel its full range of motion. Proud Steel repairs cantilever track systems on-site — realigning carriages, replacing seized rollers, and welding damaged track sections back to operational condition. Signs you need this repair: Gate dragging or grinding along the ground · Gate stopping mid-travel · Gate that will not open or close fully · Visible damage to the track or carriage
Cracked Welds & Structural Frame Repairs
Steel gate and fence frames develop cracked welds over time — particularly at corners, hinge points, and anywhere the structure is subject to repeated stress or impact. A cracked weld that is left unrepaired spreads and eventually causes a full structural failure. Proud Steel re-welds cracked joints on-site using proper penetration and technique — not a surface tack that holds for six months and cracks again. Signs you need this repair: Visible crack at a weld joint · Section of frame flexing when it should be rigid · Gate or fence section that moves independently of the rest of the structure
Commercial Perimeter Emergency Repairs
For commercial property managers and facility directors who need a breached security perimeter addressed before the end of the business day — Proud Steel prioritizes commercial emergency dispatch. Our self-powered mobile setup means we can work at your commercial property without accessing your facility power. We assess, repair, and restore your perimeter security on-site.
Why Austin Property Owners Call Proud Steel for Steel Repairs
By the time most people call us for a repair they have already tried someone else. The big franchise said no. The handyman made it worse. The original installer stopped answering. Here is what you get when you call Proud Steel instead.
We Actually Show Up for Repair Jobs
The economics of the large fence franchise do not work for repair calls. Their crews are sized and scheduled for full installations — a broken hinge does not justify the dispatch cost on their model. Proud Steel was built differently. We take repair calls because repair calls are a real need — and because the Austin property owner who calls us today for a gate hinge is the same person who calls us next year for a full steel fence installation.
Fully Self-Powered — We Do Not Need Your Electricity
Our mobile welding setup runs on its own professional-grade power source. We pull up to your property and go to work. No extension cords to your house. No asking your facility manager to unlock the electrical room. No power interruption to your home or business. This matters especially for commercial repairs where accessing building power is a logistical problem on top of an already urgent situation.
Structural Repairs — Not Surface Fixes
A repair that lasts starts with understanding why the failure happened — not just covering the symptom. Proud Steel assesses every repair on-site before we start welding. If a hinge broke because the post shifted, we address the post. If a weld cracked because it was undersized for the load, we replace it with the correct spec. You are not paying for a fix that will fail in six months.
20 Years of Experience — We Have Seen This Before
The owner of Proud Steel has 20 years of hands-on welding experience across every type of steel fabrication and repair work. Structural welds, pipe welds, gate fabrication, fence installation — we have seen every failure mode that steel develops over time in a Central Texas climate. When we diagnose your repair we are drawing on two decades of knowing what works and what does not hold up.
No Job Too Small — No Minimum That Prices You Ou
The broken hinge that the big companies will not come for. The bent post that does not justify a full fence quote. The latch that failed six months after installation and the original company stopped returning calls. These are exactly the jobs Proud Steel takes. If it is structural, made of steel, and broken — call us.

How much does steel fence or gate repair cost in Austin TX?
Most residential steel fence and gate repairs in Austin run between $150 and $600 depending on the type of repair, the extent of the damage, and the parts required. Common repairs like broken hinges typically run $150 to $300. Bent post repairs run $200 to $500 depending on whether the post can be straightened or needs replacement. Cantilever track and roller repairs run $250 to $600 depending on the extent of the mechanical damage. Proud Steel assesses every repair on-site and provides a clear estimate before any work begins.
Can you repair my gate without replacing the whole thing?
In most cases yes. The majority of gate failures — broken hinges, failed latches, cracked welds, bent frames, stuck cantilever tracks — are repairable without replacing the entire gate structure. Proud Steel assesses every repair on-site to determine exactly what is causing the failure and what the most cost-effective repair approach is. We tell you honestly if a full replacement makes more financial sense than a repair — but in most cases the structure itself is sound and only the failed component needs attention.
Do you need access to my electricity for mobile welding in Austin?
No. Proud Steel's mobile welding setup runs on its own professional-grade power source. We do not need access to your home or facility's electricity, we will not run extension cords across your property, and we will not interrupt your power supply. We arrive fully self-sufficient and ready to work at any residential or commercial property in Greater Austin.
How quickly can you dispatch for a fence or gate repair in Austin?
Proud Steel aims to respond to repair calls the same day for urgent situations — particularly commercial perimeter breaches and residential security issues. For non-emergency repairs we schedule within 1 to 3 business days depending on our current dispatch schedule. Call or text us directly with your repair situation and we will give you an honest timeline based on what you are dealing with.
Why did my gate hinge break and will it happen again after repair?
Gate hinge failures in Austin most commonly happen for three reasons. First the hinge was undersized for the gate's actual weight — a common problem with residential-grade hardware on heavy steel gates. Second the post the hinge is welded to has shifted due to soil movement — Austin's blackland clay is particularly hard on fence posts. Third the original weld was a surface tack rather than a full penetration weld. Proud Steel identifies the root cause of every hinge failure before we repair it — and addresses the underlying problem, not just the symptom.
Do you repair commercial steel gates and fencing in Austin?
Yes. Proud Steel dispatches for commercial steel fence and gate repairs across Greater Austin — loading dock gates, cantilever systems, security perimeter repairs, and structural fence failures. Our self-powered mobile setup means we can work at commercial properties without accessing facility power. For urgent commercial perimeter security issues we prioritize same-day dispatch.
Will you repair a fence or gate installed by another company?
Yes. We repair steel fences and gates regardless of who originally installed them. We assess the existing structure on-site to understand how it was built before we start any repair work. In some cases we may identify installation issues from the original work that are contributing to the current failure — and we will tell you honestly what we find so you can make an informed decision about the best repair approach.
