    Design & Build

    Custom Driveway Gates in San Jose

    Built for everything from tight Willow Glen lots to Almaden and Silver Creek estates, then automated.

    We design and build custom driveway gates for San Jose in wrought iron, steel, and wood. San Jose spans mid-century Eichler tracts and ranch homes in Willow Glen and Cambrian, Spanish and Mediterranean homes in the Rose Garden and Naglee Park, and large newer estates in Almaden Valley and Silver Creek, so the right entrance ranges from a clean horizontal-slat modern gate to a wide ornamental-iron estate gate. We build to the home.

    Every gate is engineered for its opening and finished in the powder-coat color you choose, then paired with the right operator and access control. Want a fully bespoke design? See our custom gate design work, and a nearby build in our Campbell steel grid gate project.

    San Jose caps street-facing fences and gates at 3 feet without a permit. Under San Jose Municipal Code Chapter 20.30, Part 6, a front-yard fence or gate over 3 feet (or over 7 feet in a side or rear yard) requires both a building and a planning permit, and on corner lots the fence must stay low enough to keep driveway sightlines to the street clear. Required front setbacks also range from 20 to 50 feet by zoning district, which affects where the gate and its columns land. Rules change and every lot is different, so we confirm the current requirements with the city and pull the permits the gate and automation need.

    San Jose Gate Installation FAQ

    Do I need a permit for a driveway gate in San Jose?
    In most cases, yes. San Jose limits street-facing fences and gates to 3 feet without a permit; a front-yard gate over 3 feet, or a side or rear fence over 7 feet, needs both a building and a planning permit, and corner lots must keep the driveway sightlines to the street clear. Every lot and zoning district is different, so we confirm the current requirements with the city and pull the permits the gate and automation need.
    How much does a custom driveway gate cost in San Jose?
    A built-and-installed iron, steel, or wood driveway gate in San Jose typically runs about $7,000 to $16,000 depending on size, design, and site work, with automation, video intercom, and access control adding roughly $2,500 to $6,000. We give a free on-site estimate so the number is exact.
    Can you match an Eichler or a Spanish-style San Jose home?
    Yes. San Jose runs from Eichler and ranch tracts in Willow Glen and Cambrian to Spanish and Mediterranean homes in the Rose Garden and new estates in Almaden and Silver Creek, so we fabricate the gate, hardware, and finish to match, from a clean horizontal-slat gate to a wide ornamental-iron estate gate.
    Should I get a sliding or swing gate for my San Jose driveway?
    Wider Almaden, Silver Creek, and Cambrian lots usually take a dual swing, while shorter Willow Glen and Rose Garden driveways, sloped Evergreen foothill lots, and shared lanes are better suited to a sliding gate. We recommend the right type during the free on-site assessment.
    Do you install access control and video intercoms in San Jose?
    Yes. We install keypads, video intercoms, app entry, and camera integration from DoorBird, CellGate, LiftMaster, and Ubiquiti, positioned so a vehicle clears the street while the gate opens and the corner-lot driveway sightline stays clear.
    How long does automatic gate installation take in San Jose?
    Adding an opener and access control to an existing gate is usually one day. A full custom gate with fabrication, fresh wiring, and intercom takes several days. We give a clear timeline with your written estimate.
