"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!"

"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"

"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."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.

A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or steel door to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door. You can also buy specialized locks separately for $200 to $600. If you decide to hire a pro to install your new security door, you’ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor costs.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the gate type and site conditions.
