"Honest, good work at a fair price. Options were presented with pros/cons and pricing, allowing us to make an educated decision. The installation team was on time, very meticulous and friendly. They worked fast and clean, removing all debris from the property, daily. All work was inspected and tested by the owner of the company upon completion. We are beyond happy with the product and installation. It is the first time in 11 years that we have garage doors that actually seal to the floor!"

"David Wren. Really expert and knowledgeable about his business. Got it done when he said he would, used good material and generally went the extra mile to install a very beautiful gate. I totally agree with the other positive reviews on this page."

"The garage door manufacturer required a $2500 deposit and was involved with the garage remodel starting June 2013 regarding measuring the openings while framing/stucco/drywall was in progress. We did request a vertical V grooved exterior appearance.
Manufacturing and Install:
The doors they manufactured and brought to the home were a manufactured paint-grade manufactured wood doors, looked VERY heavy & bulky (qualities we had never requested)  otherwise nothing special from the outside. The windows were single-pane.When they installed them I noted that the doors did not seal around all the edges equally, leaving gaps (1/2-3/4") along an area of the side/top of the doors, that will allow for small rodents or leaf blower projected debris to enter the garage readily. Elk Grove Overhead Doors made some adjustments, then blamed the situation on the stucco/framing and stated it is the best they could do, leaving me with uneven significant gaps around both doors.
Now after the initial rain exposure ( moisture only since they are protected by an eave)  it ALSO appears the exterior surface of the doors is starting to have blister-like but deep bubbles ( I would guess delaminations of the manufactured wood product) in several small areas, and the wood appears to be delaminating (flaking superficial layers at several of the V-grooves.
Openers and door function:
When they attached the openers my wife and I were alarmed how loud and 'clunky' the doors/openers were! Sounds like a castle draw-bridge being retracted with big chains. Since our garage doors are near our neighbor's master bedroom we had erroneously expected the new doors to be less noisy than the older doors we had. They installed chain drives ( instead of belt drives) which they stated they needed to use because of the heaviness of the doors. They stated most of the noise was the chain drive.Again, we never asked for  heavy doors. It appears as if  the doors are striking the middle rail when initially opening though they assured us it only looked that way. I was dismayed that these type of details were not worked out on paper before manufacturing and install since they were involved early in the garage remodel.
The wheels in the tracks intermittently squeal and sound as if they are not properly riding in the rails.
Corrective actions:
 
Initially after install and before full payment was made Elk Grove Overhead Door came back and "adjusted" the doors assuring us that they were fine and were not striking the railing and that they were not responsible for the door and wall leaving gaps.  Since they were been paid in full, they responded to my telephone call and promised to come out and take a look what they could do to make us satisfied with their product. They were a no-show for that appointment; since then I have made several telephone calls to John with our concerns and dissatisfaction with the doors and the noisy functioning; he has been apologetic and verbally responsive with promises that they would call me back the following day or week to set up a time to come out to make things right.  Several excuses later, (only after I called them and reminded them they had not called back to schedule repairs as they had promised) and 7 months after installation and payment we have new noisy doors that don't seal, sound like they are breaking/not functioning right and now the material they are made out of appears to be blistering and flaking. Wondering how soon I will need to replace the opener or door??
Nice polite people, but I would avoid Elk Grove Overhead Door at any price; my opinion is the new acquired headaches and expenses that come with the doors are not worth it.

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Even if you have extensive experience working with electronics or gates, we recommend leaving this repair to a local gate repair professional. Small tasks, such as battery replacement or debris removal, can be DIY projects, but more involved repairs require a pro’s skills and knowledge. Whenever wiring is involved, it’s easy to cause serious damage to your gate’s system, which can lead to bigger, more costly problems.

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.

Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added sliding gate mechanisms, which can go out from frequent use.

Gates are often stuck halfway due to physical blockages or damage to the rollers, wheels, or tracks the gate runs on. Check to make sure there are no obstructions before considering that the motor might be burned out or malfunctioning somehow. Hopefully, the issue is simple, and you can remove it with a broom or your hands, but if your gate is stuck and there's no obvious reason why, you should call a pro to diagnose the issue.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.
