Get matched with top driveway gate pros in Riverbank, CA

Q: Is it worth it to install a gate on my property?

• <div><p>Installing a gate on an existing fence or alongside a new fence is usually worthwhile, even though it can be expensive. Side gates give you easier access to your rear yard, making the space more usable. More importantly, they can help keep your children and pets safe in your yard without compromising accessibility. Security gates are particularly worthwhile, as they have the added bonus of protecting your home. In case that&rsquo;s not enough upside, installing a fence with gates usually boosts your curb appeal and property value.</p></div>

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>

Q: Is a sliding or swinging gate better?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of clearance, a sliding gate can save space. But keep in mind that sliding gates may require more maintenance to keep in operating condition, and swinging gates are often less expensive. </p></div>

Q: Why does my gate keep sagging?

• <div><p>There are a few possible issues that are causing your gate to sage. The hinges may be bent, or the screws holding the hinges to the post could fail&mdash;causing the gate to sag from one side to the other. The gate itself may also have come out of square due to failing supports, causing it to sag. On the other hand, it&rsquo;s possible the gate isn&rsquo;t the issue at all. The post holding the gate aloft may lean inward, causing the gate to sag.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate?

• <div><p>You can install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate anytime. However, pick a dry day if you apply stain or paint to the paneling. If you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/fence-companies/">hiring a local fencing contractor,</a> they often offer better rates in their low season outside the busy spring and summer months.</p></div>

Not only did they clean off the driveway and the walkway in front of the house, but cleaned the solar panels, cleaned and double checked the roof, and washed all outside windows. He even cleaned up an engine oil spill in the garage.

Daniel was very professional, always on time, and responded quickly to questions. He gave excellent advice (even about color selection, although he always stressed the choice should be what made us happy). In addition to painting our bathroom, Dan also made minor repairs to our kitchen cabinets...

Fantastic! We are quite pleased with the work Gary did for us. He offered several solutions for the gates and brought in an additional contractor where needed. We plan to use Landbreaker Landscaping again this year for additional landscape work.

Two men came and did a great job fixing my gate, rather an involved procedure because of Stockton's subsidence problems. Six months later, it's still fine.

I was very pleased with the work Bob did for me. I have asked him to come back and install a gate for me. I thought the price he charged was very reasonable and he did such a good job I paid him an extra $50.00.

I had this gardener at my rental property and at my Grandparent's house. About the second time working on the rental property he couldn't unlock the combination lock (no big deal) instead of calling me to unlock the gate, he took the latch off of the gate, then when finished did not put it...
