Q: Should a gate be higher than the fence?

• <div><p>A gate shouldn&rsquo;t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.</p></div>

Master Repair did a great job making our old front gate look great with a new paint job. Additionally, it is now stable and opens and closes properly. We liked their attention to detail with this project. We have used this company before and Rob and his workers do quality work.

I hired a guy to replace slats on two wooden gates and to replace the 2x4s behind them. The boards were cut AFTER they were installed which made for an uneven cut across the bottom.

Justin and his crew were very professional, on time, and efficient with pouring our additional driveway. He took into account the slope into the neighbors yard and precisely measured to maximize the area for the driveway. I will defiantly call them back to do more concrete work in my yard.
