"An important factor for me is to be able to call a contractor and the person responsible for planning and overseeing the job answers immediately or calls back promptly if with a client.  So the same day I get Patrick to come out and give me an estimate.  Everything went smoothly, it was only the light rain that caused some delays for certain parts of the job.  It's great having a remote controlled gate for my driveway and a manual gate for the auxiliary side.  The manual gate opens and closes with easy.  I like doing most things myself but with the crazy curves and slope of where these sliding gates where to be installed definitely required an expert who knows how to make custom gates.   "

"Would recommend to anybody, was happy with the job they did, the professionalism how they work and clean up after themselves. I was extremely impressed on them replacing an electrical breaker that they accidentally damaged, but paid for when they replaced. Very happy with the work installing our new chain link electric gate."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.
