"We give LUCAS FENCING a 9 out of 10.  We would definitely use them again.  Here are the pros and cons we had with this experience.
PROS:
  Tom Lucas is very friendly, promptly returns messages and phone calls, and keeps appointments.
  He and his crew did excellent quality work without wasting any time.  They arrived promptly on the scheduled day.
  He had no problem with minor changes we had while the fence was being repaired.
  He is trustworthy; he came back for the old posts just like he said he would, and honored the Angie's List discount when it was 
    forgotten on an amended invoice.
  
CONS:
  It took awhile for us to get a scheduled date, farther out than expected (2 weeks vs 5 weeks).  His timetable was affected by the
    bad weather we were experiencing, so it wasn't a major issue. 
  He had to come back for the old posts instead of taking them that day due to the existing weight on his truck.  He did pick them up
    as promised 2 days later.
9/10.  Thanks Tom!

"I saw a coupon for installation of a Viper toilet.  After doing some research on this brand I decided to get 2 for my home.  They work great and the installer was so professional.  They appeared promptly when they were scheduled to and did a great job.  They disposed of the old toilets and cleaned up the work area when they were done.  We loved the toilets and firm so much that we bought 2 more toilets for another property.  After a couple of months, one of the toilets started to "run".  They came back out and explained to me how pieces of the Clorox tablets I was using in the tank was getting caught under the flapper.  They did not charge me for this service call.  I highly recommend 24/7 Plumbing and I would not hesitate to use the for any plumbing needs in the future.

"The Rosa team did a great job erecting our new 6 ft fence including a difficult section going up a sharp rise. They cleaned up very well and will return tomorrow to spray paint our new fence to preserve it against the elements. Fair price and great work."

"The porch roof was old and in poor condition with holes and lots of dry rot from at LEAST 18 plus years of weathering . As soon as Robert(the company owners) team got to our property, they gutted the roof and worked quickly, and efficiently on the new install. The new porch roof looks great!!! The workers were very friendly, and made sure to not only clear debris from my home, but to also make sure any debris that may have gotten on my neighbors property was cleaned away. Robert and his team exude a genuine passion for what they do, and make sure that before they leave, you have a smile on your face. Wonderful work AND customer service!"

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

To make your gate safe, purchase a gate made from strong material such as wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metals. Ensure that the gate has strong joints and bars that are welded on rather than inserted loosely. If you’re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.

You don’t need a permit for an automatic gate in most cities because it isn’t a structural change to your home, but you need to check. A pro can help you with this and since we don’t recommend installing an automatic gate yourself, you should already be in contact with one, making this a frictionless question. Outside of permit requirements, you need to consider your homeowners association (HOA), as some are against gated homes.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.

When making this decision, three essential factors come into play. For budget-conscious individuals, swing gates are the more economical choice. Despite the possibility of both gate types having similar dimensions, many types of sliding gates demand a more intricate opening mechanism and additional components, requiring electrical work for motors and signaling remotes, resulting in higher installation costs.

No, you can’t use a garage door opener as a gate opener. Automatic garage door openers and automatic gate openers serve similar functions and may even operate similarly via remote control; however, they aren’t interchangeable. Garage door openers aren’t intended for outdoor use and can’t withstand exposure to the elements.
