"I recently hired Arnie - Fences Plus contractor to add wooden stairs and a gate to my balcony, and I couldn't be happier with the result. His craftsmanship is top-notch, and he communicated clearly and politely throughout the process. He was always on time and his estimate was very reasonable compared to other contractors I considered. I highly recommend his services!"

"We had a squeaky door with a bent lower panel, plus a second door that would sometimes jam when we tried to open it, and which seemed to have much too strong of a spring (it would fly open if the power opener was disconnected), as well as making a lot of noise.  The tech came out on the special service deal and was on-time and did a thorough job of greasing and adjusting the doors.  I asked if they could help repair a dent in the large door and make the small door run smoother as well as correcting the spring tension.  He worked up a quote, that involved a lot of back-and-forth with the home office, include a second trip to the house to re-measure.  They ordered parts, scheduled installation, then contacted me to say they didn't get the right parts and I'd have to wait another month or so to get the right ones.
After the parts arrived, the same tech came out to install.  I think he was maybe a little inexperienced, but he got the job done.  The large door worked great with no more dent, and the changes to the small door fixed the spring tension, but it is, if anything, more noisy than before the work.  I mean it's loud.  I had hoped that spending close to a grand would get me quiet, smooth doors.
While the tech was generally professional, he did leave a bit of a mess for me in my garage and driveway.
Let me sum up by saying that I think they did a decent job, but I feel like it was beer-n-burgers for a steak-n-wine price.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

In addition to a doorbell camera, you can upgrade your home’s security with several different features. Backyard security, for instance, may include a mix of security cameras, lighting, and fencing. Additional security cameras around your property, as well as a total smart security system with an alarm connected to your smartphone, are also advisable. This could well be worth the cost for the peace of mind alone, but home security systems also lower home insurance costs.

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.

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

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.
