Customers say: Quality work

"We could not be happier with the outcome of our fence project. PIW fabricated and installed wrought iron fence and gates to match with an existing section of the fence that we had in our backyard from the original builder. We could not find any contractor who could match the existing fence until we met Isaiah. Not only he matched it with the style we had, he created a much better version of it. The quality of his work is phenomenal. He was very professional and a pleasure to work with, listened to our needs and brought valuable recommendations. I am perfectionist and he and his team totally exceeded my expectations. We will stay with him for our next projects."

"OVB was on time, very professional and knowledgeable. He installed gate latches on two gates and fixed gate installed by another Fence contractor. Gates had to be leveled and adjusted on the hinges and pulled up with steel cable to level out. Great job OVB."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

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

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders.
