"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"

"Accelerated Fence was fantastic to work with! Our old fence was in disrepair, and part of it finally fell over during Hurricane Ian. Gene and his team replaced around 150’ of wood fencing as well as our driveway gate. They also hauled away all the old material. We are so pleased with the look and quality of the new fence and gate. It is beautiful and built to last. Gene was also kind and courteous throughout the whole process. We would hire Accelerated Fence again in a heartbeat!"

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Depending on your needs and wants, investing in a security door can be well worth the cost. Now that you know the pros and cons, you can decide if it’s a purchase that makes sense for your family. If you’re ready to have one installed in your home, look into security door installers in your area.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.
