Q: Do I need a permit to install a gate?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need a permit to install a gate or fence on your property. Before your local municipality can issue a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a>, you might also need a site plan or survey to identify property lines. Otherwise, you could infringe on your neighbor&rsquo;s property, leading to having to pay to take down and re-erect the fence. Permits for a gate and fence usually cost under <b>$100</b>. Luckily, your gate installation company will usually pull the permits for you and handle all of the red tape.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of an automatic gate?

• <div><p>The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won&rsquo;t open or close unless there&rsquo;s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a barrier door and a security door?

• <div><p>Barrier doors or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/3-things-know-about-screen-doors.htm">screen doors</a> are ideal for bringing in summer breezes without letting in pesky flies and mosquitoes. But these types of doors aren&rsquo;t as secure as a security door, which is installed with permanent screws into the home&rsquo;s walls and often have deadbolts or other heavy-duty lock mechanisms for better security.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include safety checks?

• <div><p>Yes, most services include safety checks and anchoring to ensure stability. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: When is replacing a wrought iron gate a better option than covering it for privacy purposes?

• <div><p>Is your wrought iron gate really rusty or in need of major repair work? Replacing it with a gate with built-in privacy screening may be easier and, in some cases, more economical. Professional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-fence.htm">fence or gate repair costs</a> average $100 to $400, and you may be able to get a new gate for the same price.</p></div>

The owner cares about customer questions/expectations, pays attention to detail, and keeps you informed. The staff are professional, courteous and neat! Everything was done in a timely manner and came out beautifully! We had about 150 feet of three and half foot with one gate built.

Very happy with our walkway from front door to driveway. I was expecting a simple rectangle walkway, and they made a pattern and curved it out by the driveway! Sturdy, level and so pretty! We bought pavers to edge the garden as well and they cemented them in and they look great!

The painter did a fairly good job however we had to call him a couple of times as his workers did not show up on some of the days they were suppose to be here and the owner was out of town so we had to wait. But all in all,it was a decent job for what we paid for. He was the cheapest contractor...

Once the weather cooled down, there was a large gouge in the asphalt. It appeared to go all the way down to the original coat and not just the top coat. The water would stay there and freeze in the winter. It kind of looked brand new, only with a patch job and not a complete new driveway.

Upon my acceptance, Mike was on the go constantly, sending me a copy of the utility search request, calling and asking about any special instructions, and confirming the specs. Yes, I did want a slight alteration: the original fence went stright back to the gate, then inexplicably encroached...
