I've been doing home repair for more than 10 years. I've seen the ins and outs of building from the ground up. My skills are mainly focused in carpentry and finish work. I have worked all over the panhandle, just making repairs along the way. Let me get your house back to how you want it!

"I was very impressed with the professionalism and the quality of work done. They were good at communicating a delay due to rain. Very happy with the end result. The fence is perfect and the ability to pay through PayPal was totally seedless. If your looking for a good company that is reasonably priced, George Scott is your company. I will definitely use them again!!"

"David, Jenn & Blaine, @BDS were awesome, they came in and took care of business! Very professional, quality of work, and overall experience was second to none! When I say Jenn and David knocked it out of the park! I mean it! They came in removed our dreaded popcorn ceiling, repaired drywall, and painted the interior of our new home, and I will most certainly have them return to do some more work on my home!"

"He did a good job and it was very clean. The price was fair. They were very professional. The owner was very patient and explained everything to us. He was right on time for the estimate. It was a good experience overall. We had other people in and had gotten other prices. They got to the house early and sat outside until it was time. We would absolutely use them again."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

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.

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’re hiring a local fencing contractor, they often offer better rates in their low season outside the busy spring and summer months.

Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.

Security doors are not limited to standard sizes, and you can customize them to fit your needs and entryway dimensions. That's one of the fantastic things about security doors—they can be tailored to match your home. Keep in mind that a custom-sized security door will likely cost more than a standard size.
