"Finally an honest Solar company!! I went through several companies trying to get quotes for one of my properties, either they were ridiculously expensive or they didn't return my calls. A friend of mine referred me to Mega Sun and I have to say I am very pleased. Within a couple days from the initial phone call I already had an estimate and once i decided to go with them the installation was completed in one week. Its been a little over a month since they completed the install and everything is working smoothly.

I was amazed at just how great the customer service was. I just want to say thank you to the whole team who helped out, I really appreciate all your hard work. Now I know you guys are the ones to call for all future jobs."

"S&D Brushworks originally painted the exterior of our home a couple of years ago, and did such a great job on that, that we asked them to paint two of the bedrooms in our home this year. Once again, they have done an outstanding job. David gave us the original estimate, which was a reasonable price, and then adjusted it when we decided to have the popcorn ceiling removed and the ceiling repainted as well. We had all of the walls painted, with an accent wall in each room, as well as the doors, shelving, trim and baseboards. Omar was the painter for both rooms, and he did such a wonderful job. We were having the floors re-carpeted as well, and Omar came back at no additional charge to touch up all of the places that were dinged with the carpet installation. We will definitely continue to use S&D Brushworks as we continue to repaint the rest of the rooms in our house. We recommend them highly!"

"This is my second/third go-round with Tom @ Dandy Landscape Construction and I am no less pleased than the first time. Originally Tom built me a new retaining wall (approximately 80' x 3') and a fence on top of that wall with a return gate. Subsequently, Tom has completed two more projects for me. 
First, Tom pulled up my driveway, sidewalk, and part of my sideyard and laid down beautiful brick pavers. The outcome is dramatic, and I can finally say the front of my house is complete. It's great when you have neighbors stop by just to say how much they like what you are doing with the place. Much like the first time we worked together, Tom was constantly on-site managing his excellent work crew, and he was very responsive to my ... let's call them frequent inquiries. The work was completed timely, professionally, and on-budget. Speaking of budget, Tom worked with me to stick within my budget and offered creative solutions to get what I wanted accomplished without me winding up in debtors prison. And where I couldn't afford to do everything at once, Tom finished the job in such a way as to allow it to be easily picked up and finished later. 
Most recently, Tom built me another fence on my other property line. As with the first fence, the quality and workmanship was top-rate, and Tom did an excellent job of dealing with the unique interests of each neighbor that shared the fence. It's always a pleasure to do work with someone who not only does a good job, but seems generally interested in the success of your project. I would probably keep Tom constantly employed if I could just win the MegaMillions. Until then..."

"They were the highest bid. They were very timely. They got things done in a hurry. The kitchen is beautiful and everything they do. They take a lot of pride in their work. They know what they are doing and they are very scientific about how they go about it. You just have to trust them and it is beautiful. What you end up with is spectacular. The price was high. I don't think he listened to me when I tried to explain that I hadn't decided on what kind of window I wanted. I think that we had communication problems. They followed their schedule very carefully. They kept busy. The fellow in charge tries hard."

"Nice people, they claim to give a lifetime warranty including resealing seems or any problem at all. They showed up as scheduled, took a bit longer than expected. I was very happy with the way it looked when they were finished. Im still happy with the way it looks. After they left I noticed they had drilled a hole in my concrete walkway and pounded in rebar to mount a gate post but they didn’t plan it right and I believe they called the owner out who decided to put the post in a more suitable place. Unfortunately the cracked concrete with a flush cut piece off rusty rebar remains as an eyesore. After a month or two the gate post on the opposite side began pulling out of the stucco on the side of my garage. I took it apart to find they used cheep plastic anchors so i just went and replaced them with metal concrete anchors myself so its never coming out again. I figured despite the warranty id just get it done. Fast forward to present June 2019 and i noticed that 2 of the base plates of the fence are not fastened to the concrete on one end allowing them to swivel out of place when the neighbors gardener does yard work it pushes them out of place. I contacted Sonrise and was given a date two weeks away that they would show up but they could not give a time. Sounds stupid but fortunately I’m retired and can sit home all day waiting for them to show up because hey what else do i need to do right? never showed up. I emailed again and the Forman called and apologized said he’d be out the following Friday. Never called never showed up. I emailed again and its been a week and a half with no response. so much for that lifetime warranty. I am really happy with the way the fence looks but cutting corners on simple stuff has me a bit confused because when you say lifetime warranty to fix ANYTHING wrong. Well you’d expect no short cuts because then you’d have to come fix the problems ... Unless... you have no plans to fix anything at all. I don’t care to write a review like this but when you jerk a customer around then just ignore them what else is left to do?"

"I am very pleased and even amazed at the transformation of my back yard. First, I must compliment Jesse, the landscape architect who designed my project. I had very specific "wants and needs" which he incorporated perfectly. The renderings and plans were excellent. The job supervisor, Leo, was very impressive. Even though he was overseeing quite a few other jobs, he never forgot any details or tweeks I wanted in my project. He was always very responsive. It took approximately 3 months to complete my project. I'm sure it would have taken other companies much longer as I saw happening when my neighbors had landscape work done at their homes. Many days there were 5-7 men on my job; they showed up promptly at 7 AM and worked very hard all day. They would also clean up the site at the end of each day. They were very experienced, as evidenced by the great work they did. I am a very particular person, so I closely watched the work being done. Santiago was often on-site and always checked the plans to be sure the job was being built as specified, He also expertly did much of the work himself. My backyard went from having very little useable or functional space to a place where I can easily entertain 50 or more people. When the job was done they did the final TLC, as Leo calls it, and they even washed my lower story windows and patio doors that were bordering the construction site. Final compliments to Jessica the office admin person and Richard the owner of the company. Unfortunately the photos were taken on a cloudy day and don't do the project justice."

Driveway Gates FAQs, answered by experts

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.

Depending on your needs and wants, investing in a security door can be well worth the cost. Now that you know the pros and cons, you can decide if it’s a purchase that makes sense for your family. If you’re ready to have one installed in your home, look into security door installers in your area.

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.

Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.
