Customers say: Quality work

"Isaiah came to give an estimate to fix our Iron gates, I liked it, and he fixed it right away. It was good work. Later that same day, I found out that our gate latch is not staying in tact easily which he fixed. I left him a message to come back to adjust the latch but I haven't heard from him. For time being it is okay, but the latch needs to be re-adjusted a bit, so I hope he comes back to fix it."

"The service professional (I think it was Tom), although friendly and professional, arrived two hours late.  I scheduled an appointment from 9-11AM, and he arrived at 10:50AM, hence the "bad" rating for punctuality.
When he arrived, he proceeded to perform the work that I purchased through Angie's List, which was a $100 garage door maintenance package that included greasing rollers, door balance check, and motor inspection.  Upon the inspection, Tom highly recommended that I perform the service that I outlined above.  He reasoned that the age of the springs and motor had exceeded the typical life spans.  He had the garage door opener motor, drive shaft, and springs in his truck and promptly installed them in 90 minutes.  He performed some tuning on both garage doors.  
I rated a "C" for pricing because the garage door opener could be purchased for $300 just for parts of Amazon.  I was quoted $640 for the door opener and installation.  It took 1 guy 45 minutes to replace the garage door opener and drive shaft. Was that worth $340?  Perhaps this was fair price compared to competing vendors, but I didn't have a chance to compare.  So my perception is that the replacement is more expensive than it should be.  However, given that the work was done well, and he tuned the rest of my garage door, I'll rate the overall pricing as Fair for the scope of work done.

"After having worked with Nathan previously on deck and driveway, we decided to remodel kitchen. The work was efficient, the crew was very good at what they did and courteous. Nathan is very easy to get in contact with for questions etc. Any small hiccups were accommodated and made up for. All of the work looks and works very well.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.

Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.

A DIY manual wooden gate costs $200 to $600 for a basic single-swing gate. If you want to hire a pro, a manual wood gate can cost $400 to $4,000. For automated wood gates, expect to pay $850 to $8,500.

Factors that affect price include the quality of materials, cost of labor, the height of the gate, and the type of gate you need.
