"I was very pleased with Sentry Access, from start to finish. I had the opener replaced. My older garage door (20+ years old) now operates and sounds like a new door. Richard, the technician who did the work, did an outstanding job on both the install and the "tune-up" of the door. I am 100% satisfied with the work from this company, and highly recommend them."

"Nick from Fence Dr. Was great! Very professional and skilled at his craft. He installed 2 gates on both sides of my yard. The gates and fencing were done very well and look great. I will definitely give Nick a call when it’s time to update my fencing."

"I am so happy with our new garage door that was installed today, 7/5/2022 by Antonio Ayala. He was professional, polite, efficient, and patient. Antonio was very diligent and meticulous with his work. We can’t thank him enough for the wonderful service. Corey from the Sales Department was nice, professional and responsive. I would like to recognize Andrew who did the measurement. RW Garage Doors has an amazing team. Thank you so much! Aimee Custodio"

"His timing was perfect for both our needs. Eric was quick, efficient, and very understandable in regards to explaining what repairs were needed and why. I was able to use the 15% coupon he had listed in his Angie's listing, awesome. He gave me an approximate cost before he came over to my house and then a better estimate after he looked at the garage doors, so I had a very good idea of what I would be spending for his work. He did a great job! Thanks Eric!

"CM Landscaping was excellent from start to finish of our project. We had a lawn put in our front and back yard with full sprinklers and landscaping done in the backyard. Fernando was amazing to work with. He made great suggestions for our yard and was courteous and professional. The work was done on schedule and looks great. CM provided exceptional service at a great price. Fernando scheduled a follow up to make sure the grass is taking and has been responsive to all questions. I would not hesitate to work with him again and I very highly recommend him and his company. This is exactly the kind of business we should all support."

"After having worked with Nathan previously on deck and driveway, we decided to remodel kitchen. The work was efficient, the crew was very good at what they did and courteous. Nathan is very easy to get in contact with for questions etc. Any small hiccups were accommodated and made up for. All of the work looks and works very well.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.
