Why Bay Area Homeowners and Property Managers Trust Rolling Gates
As a trusted fence contractor, we bring the same licensed, hands-on standard to every gate intercom install we handle. Our technicians follow a 25-point diagnostic process on every job, so nothing gets missed between the gate operator and the intercom system it connects to.

We service property owners across San Francisco, Alameda, Marin County, San Mateo & beyond. With a 5.0 Google rating across 91 reviews and BBB accreditation, Bay Area homeowners and property managers count on Rolling Gates for intercom work that holds up.
Which Intercom System Is Right for You?
The right choice comes down to your property’s setup more than any single brand or feature list. A remote gate with no nearby network access points toward cellular, while a property already wired for Ethernet gets a faster, more stable connection without ongoing data fees.
High-traffic driveways often pair drive-thru video systems with a barrier gate system so visitors can identify themselves before you grant access, and larger communities also benefit from the added user capacity a wireless keypad provides. Whatever your property looks like, contact us and we can walk you through which gate intercom systems fit your setup and handle the installation from start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best intercom systems for electric gates?
Understanding how intercom systems work makes it easier to choose the right one: cellular intercoms work best for gates far from the building, while Ethernet suits properties with strong existing networks.
How much does it cost to install an intercom system?
Most residential gate intercom installs cost between $500 and $2,500, with basic audio systems running $500 to $1,200 and video intercoms $800 to $2,000. Final pricing depends on wiring, distance, and brand.
What are the common problems with intercoms?
Most intercom failures trace back to wiring or power, not the unit itself. Buried cable degrading near the gate is the most common cause of intermittent faults. Weak signal can also disrupt cellular systems.
