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

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.

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.

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.

If you only use your gate as a pedestrian, walking through without a vehicle, you’re fine to stick with a single fence gate. If your fence opening needs to accommodate vehicles of any kind, from cars to trucks to 4-wheelers, then a double fence gate will suit the space much better and give you more freedom. 

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.
