Hollis isn’t like the suburbs one block east. The semi-detached brick homes built between the 1920s and 1950s squeeze gates into tight driveway corridors, often under twelve feet wide. Decades of concrete settling, aggressive freeze-thaw cycles, and salt spray from Hillside Avenue and Francis Lewis Boulevard create a repair profile you won’t find in Nassau County or Manhattan. Our technicians carry welding rigs, galvanized posts, and parts for nine automation brands so we finish most Hollis jobs in a single visit.
Why Ironworks Gate Co. of New York City Is Hollis’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company
We’ve been serving Queens for over 42 years. Homeowners in Hollis call us because we understand the difference between a Nassau County gate job and a Hollis gate job - and that difference is measured in permits, post depth, and knowing which way the concrete’s going to heave next spring.
Our response time to Hollis averages under 90 minutes during business hours. We’re already working in Queens Village, Bellaire, and Hillside most days, so your driveway isn’t a detour - it’s on our route.
Frank Delmonico founded Ironworks Gate Co. in 1984 with the Keystone Standard: every job done right, backed in writing, no arguing. That standard still governs how our uniformed, background-checked technicians work in Hollis homes. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every hinge we weld, every post we set, every opener we tune. If it isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No paperwork. No exceptions.
Our Gate Parts & Welding team carries the full inventory to handle Hollis’s most common failures on the spot: rusted hinges, heaved posts, cracked rails, and misaligned latches that have been grinding for three winters too long.
Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Hollis
Hinge Replacement
Hollis hinges take a beating. Salt spray from Hillside Avenue and Francis Lewis Boulevard works its way into every pin and barrel on ornamental iron gates, and by year five or six, the gate is sagging, scraping, or screaming every time it moves. We stock heavy-duty galvanized and stainless-steel hinges rated for coastal exposure, and we weld new mounting plates when the old ones have rusted through. A typical hinge replacement in Hollis runs $180-$320.
Post Replacement
This is where Hollis gets complicated. Because Hollis sits inside New York City limits, any gate post replacement that involves breaking the sidewalk or curb cut triggers NYC DOT and DOB permitting - a regulatory layer that simply doesn’t apply one block east in Nassau County. Homeowners are often surprised by this. We build permit lead time into every estimate, pull the paperwork ourselves, and set posts with deep footers below the frost line to resist the freeze-thaw heave that ruins shallow work. Post replacement in Hollis typically costs $450-$650 including proper footer depth and, when needed, permit coordination.
Rail Repair
The wrought-iron and steel rails on Hollis’s older ornamental gates fatigue at the welds after decades of opening, closing, and vibration from passing traffic on narrow streets. We cut out cracked sections, fabricate matching rail segments in our mobile welding rig, and finish with primer and paint that holds up to Queens winters. Rail repair in Hollis generally runs $220-$400 depending on length and access.
Custom Welding
Narrow Hollis driveways often need gates that don’t exist in a catalog. We’ve welded custom swing gates to fit 10-foot clearances, fabricated offset hinges to clear brick walls, and built steel frames to carry cedar or aluminum infill panels. Our mobile welding equipment means we measure, cut, and fit on-site - critical when every inch of clearance matters and the gate must clear a parked car by two fingers’ width. Custom welding projects in Hollis start around $350 and scale with complexity.

Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Hollis Homes
- Concrete apron heave throws posts out of plumb. Hollis’s aging concrete driveways heave and settle unevenly through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. A post that was vertical in October leans two inches by April. The gate drags. The opener strains. The motor burns out prematurely.
- Salt spray accelerates hinge and latch rust. NYC’s winter road salting on Hillside Avenue and Francis Lewis Boulevard sends corrosive spray onto iron and steel gates throughout Hollis. Hinges freeze. Latches fail to catch. Ornamental scrollwork weakens at stress points.
- Narrow lot clearances make post alignment critical. With driveway widths often under twelve feet, even slight settling causes the gate to bind against the house wall, scrape the driveway edge, or miss the catch by half an inch. Precision matters. There is no room to fudge.
- Original wrought iron fatigues at welds after 60-80 years. Many Hollis gates date to the mid-century building boom. The metal is thin where decades of flexing have worked the same joints. We see cracks propagating through pickets, rails, and scrollwork that a fresh coat of paint won’t fix.

FAQs - Gate Parts & Welding in Hollis
Yes, if the work breaks the sidewalk or curb cut, NYC DOT and DOB permits are required because Hollis is inside New York City limits. We handle the permit paperwork as part of the job and build the lead time into your estimate. Call (877) 326-7055 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your specific post replacement will involve.
Freeze-thaw cycles heave the aged concrete around your gate posts through the winter, throwing them out of plumb by an inch or two. In Hollis’s narrow driveways, that small shift is enough to make the gate scrape concrete or miss the catch. We reset posts with deep footers below the frost line to stop the cycle. Call for a free inspection - we’ll show you exactly what’s moving and why.
We are certified and stocked for nine brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. Most Hollis repairs are completed in one visit because we carry the parts. Call (877) 326-7055 with your model number and we’ll confirm availability.
Yes. We regularly fabricate custom steel frames, offset hinges, and narrow-profile gates for Hollis’s tight clearances, often under twelve feet. Our mobile welding rig lets us measure, cut, and fit on-site so the gate clears your walls, parked car, and walkway with precision. Call for a free measurement and design consultation.
NYC’s aggressive winter salting on Hillside Avenue and Francis Lewis Boulevard sends salt-laden spray onto iron and steel gates throughout Hollis, dramatically accelerating rust at hinges, latch hardware, and post bases. Galvanized or stainless-steel hardware, proper drainage at post bases, and annual touch-up painting are the defenses we install and maintain. Ask about our $89 seasonal tune-up to catch salt damage before it becomes failure.
