Apollo Gate Repair Houston TX — Apollo & Nice Operators
Rampart Welding repairs Apollo swing gate operators across Houston, including the 1050 and 1500, plus the broader Nice family Apollo belongs to. We fix control and limit boards, solar charging, batteries, and actuator arms. Same-day service. Call (713) 816-5880.
Apollo operators — now part of the Nice family — are common on Houston residential driveway gates, often running on solar. When yours works intermittently or quits, we diagnose the board, battery, and charging circuit, not just the motor.

Why Does My Apollo Gate Work Intermittently?
Intermittent Apollo operation is classically a charging or battery problem. Many Apollo units run on solar, and a weak battery or a panel that isn't charging well — from shade, dirt, or Houston heat — leaves just enough power for occasional cycles. We test the battery under load and the charging circuit first.
The 'works sometimes' Apollo complaint is so common because so many Apollo installs are solar, and solar charging is sensitive to Houston's conditions. Before we touch the board, we confirm the battery holds a charge under load and the panel is actually delivering power.
- Battery load-tested under the motor's starting draw
- Solar panel output measured — shade, dirt, angle
- Charging controller and circuit verified
- Control / limit board tested only after power is cleared

Apollo Gate Repair Houston TX — Apollo & Nice Operators — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Apollo the same as Nice?
Apollo is part of the Nice family, so the two share parts and control logic. If you have an Apollo 1050 or 1500, that's a Nice-family operator, and we service all of them across Houston with the same parts and diagnostic approach.
Why does my Apollo gate work intermittently?
Intermittent Apollo operation is classically a charging or battery problem. Many Apollo units run on solar, and a weak battery or a panel that isn't charging well leaves just enough power for occasional cycles. We test the battery under load and the charging circuit first.
What's the most common Apollo failure?
The control/limit board and the battery, followed by actuator-arm wear. Because the board is a known weak point, we test it directly rather than assuming the motor is bad, which avoids an unnecessary actuator replacement.
Do you repair solar Apollo openers?
Yes. Many Apollo installs are solar, and we diagnose the full charging chain — panel output, controller, and battery health — since a solar charging fault is the most common reason these units run intermittently.
How much does Apollo gate repair cost in Houston?
Our diagnostic is $175 residential, credited toward the repair if approved. A board or battery repair is usually far cheaper than full replacement, and we quote both. Commercial diagnostics run $250.
