Q: Is a sliding or swinging gate better?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of clearance, a sliding gate can save space. But keep in mind that sliding gates may require more maintenance to keep in operating condition, and swinging gates are often less expensive. </p></div>

Q: Can electric gates be forced open?

• <div><p>Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-security-tips.htm">home security tips</a> include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.</p></div>

Q: Is having a driveway gate installed worth it?

• <div><p>Driveway gates are expensive to install, but they are usually a worthwhile investment. Not only does this exterior feature improve your curb appeal and, by extension, your property value, but they also help keep your home secure. Driveway can keep out unwanted guests and provide additional privacy for you and your household. Plus, they can serve as a means of keeping children and pets in your yard, depending on the type of fence.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to install a gate?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need a permit to install a gate or fence on your property. Before your local municipality can issue a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a>, you might also need a site plan or survey to identify property lines. Otherwise, you could infringe on your neighbor&rsquo;s property, leading to having to pay to take down and re-erect the fence. Permits for a gate and fence usually cost under <b>$100</b>. Luckily, your gate installation company will usually pull the permits for you and handle all of the red tape.</p></div>

Q: Can I install my own gates?

• <div><p>Installing your own gate is possible, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Gates can weigh hundreds of pounds in some cases, and even <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-gates.htm">types of gates</a> made from the lightest materials are heavy, bulky, and difficult to maneuver into place. Positioning your gate perfectly is also crucial to make sure it swings smoothly and either closes automatically or doesn&rsquo;t close without force, depending on your preferences. Mistakes made by DIYers can be quite costly, too, as the materials alone average around <b>$1,000</b>. As such, it&rsquo;s better to hire a professional gate installer.</p></div>

Will, the handyman, performed an initial access to a roof leak and provided the necessary information to proceed repairing the damage. He is a very accommodating and helpful person and I would certainly recommend hiring him again.

These people are scammers. Quoted $55k to replace the pipes in the house and insurance declined. Then quoted $18k to locate leak and repair by tearing up floors and walls. Insurance approved $12k and we were on the hook for $6k. They came out to detect the areas for the leak. The day they came...
