get someone to come in, run power, build and set up a nice gate, and put arms up for $7k turn key.

You are a lot closer than most of this thread. A LOT is dependent on aluminum gate vs cast iron, single vs double, security, keypads, etc.

I went with custom double iron solid gate sections. Two 7’ sections. Hinges built into the brick columns due to gate weight. Commercial grade openers due to weight of the gates. Electro magnet security closure. Radio openers, pedastal keypad, magnetic drive over loop on the inside, battery backup.

Installed ran just north of $10k. I quickly figured out the sky is the limit on gates. I really wanted the cellular based opener and remote view cameras. Gave up on that when it was going to be another $2k plus cost of maintaining the cellular account.
