"I did a lot of research before I found Fencescape. I originally looked in the local mailer magazines and called around. I received a few estimates. The first company spelled my name wrong and thought I was a woman. They seemed to have more important things going on. Another told me they didn't have time to come out to my house due to how busy they always are and would would not be able to give me an estimate. I really got the feel that for the majority of the contractors that it was about quantity, while quality was no where to be found. Upon later discovering all of the poor reviews amongst those same contractors in BBB as well as Google, I decided to try Angie's List.
From Angie's list, I had already called two or three fence contractors and gotten nowhere, when I finally called Fencescape. Wayne Jimerson not only actually answered the phone, but told me he could be at our home in 10 minutes. This is exactly what I was looking for. Upon meeting Wayne, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave me a fair price. He also told me that they built their fences completely onsite (which was the opposite of the pre-built quantity contractors), and that they reinforced their wood gates with metal that prevented sagging. The posts would be set in concrete, and they wanted our job. This was a winner. Finally, someone that made our request feel valued.
It took about three weeks before we could build due to needing approval from our HOA and Fencescape fitting our job into the schedule. The build itself took a 2-man crew, two days. One day to set the posts in concrete and install the runners, and a second day for the slats. They were at our house at 6:30 each day, and completely gone when I got home from work at 4:00pm.
The finished product is exactly what we were looking for - a quality job. The fence is built exactly to the specifications of our site survey; while the gate is solid as a rock. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. I would highly recommend Fencescape to anyone looking for a "quality" new fence at a great price.

"I'm very satisfied with the work that was done, my fence looks beautiful, the gate is awesome. Due to COVID causing a supply issue it wasn't completed as contracted, but as soon as the supplies were at hand work started and completed as agreed upon. I would definitely hire this company again the owner was always on hand and his crew was magnificent very kind and caring men. If you need any type of barrier put up this is the team I would call. Thank you Joseph Matthews fencing"

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.

Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.

A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or steel door to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door. You can also buy specialized locks separately for $200 to $600. If you decide to hire a pro to install your new security door, you’ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor costs.

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
