“We treat every project like it's going on our own property.”

Serving Sacramento for 25+ Years

DC Controls is a family-owned gate company. What started as a small specialty contractor has grown into the region's most trusted name in custom gate fabrication, automation, and repair. From the very first job, our mission has been simple: build gates that look beautiful, work flawlessly, and stand up to decades of daily use.

That commitment is the reason so many Sacramento homeowners, property managers, and businesses keep coming back to us for every project on their property.

Second-Generation Craftsmanship

The next generation is already running the day-to-day. That continuity matters — a gate is a 15-to-20 year investment. When you need a repair or a part replaced in 2040, we'll still be here to handle it.

DC Controls is a family-owned gate company, now in its second generation, that has built, automated, and repaired gates across the greater Sacramento region for more than 25 years. We're based in Loomis and licensed under California #1114559, and we do every part of the work ourselves, from the first sketch to the service call years later.

Our Story

What started as a small specialty contractor has grown into one of the region's most established names in custom gate fabrication, automation, and repair. The work hasn't changed in principle: build gates that look right, work reliably, and stand up to decades of daily use. That's the reason Sacramento-area homeowners, property managers, and businesses keep calling us back for the next project, and why so much of our work comes by referral.

What We Do

We design, fabricate, install, and service every kind of gate system: custom driveway gates, automatic swing and sliding gates, ornamental iron, commercial and access-controlled entrances, and repair for any make or model. Whether it's a new entrance built from scratch or an opener that won't respond, we handle it from concept to final tune-up, in-house, with our own crews, no subcontractors handed the job.

Second-Generation Craftsmanship

The next generation is already running the day-to-day, and that continuity matters: a gate is a 15-to-20 year investment. When you need a repair, a tune-up, or a part replaced years from now, the same family company will still be here to handle it.

The People Behind DC Controls

Daniel CojocaruCEO & President

Leads the company day to day, carrying forward the standards the business was built on and staying closely involved in the customer experience.

Dedicated Project ManagersProject Coordination

Every installation is managed by a dedicated project manager who keeps the work organized, communicates with the customer, coordinates the crew, and makes sure the project moves from site visit to final walkthrough without things falling through the cracks.

Our Approach

Every project starts with a free on-site consultation. We walk your property, listen to what you're trying to accomplish, and put together a plan that fits your budget, your aesthetic, and the way your driveway actually works. Our fabricators build to spec in our shop, our installers handle the trenching, wiring, and mounting, and our technicians make sure everything is dialed in and safe before we hand it over. We don't disappear after the install. We stand behind our work and we answer the phone when you need us again.

Service Area

We serve homeowners and businesses across the greater Sacramento region, including Roseville, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Rocklin, Loomis, Lincoln, Auburn, Elk Grove, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, and the surrounding foothill communities. If you're in Northern California and you need a gate built, automated, or repaired, we'd be glad to help.
