"The work was done. I am still upset because of the way the workers left my driveway and a large patch of paint was damaged on the garage siding. The worker came back to remove (rinse off) the sandy substance from the driveway but nothing was done to repair the paint damage. My husband hired the company. I would not hire them again or I would inspect their work before they leave."

"They installed two electric gate motors and a keypad. Arrived when scheduled on the Saturday before Christmas Eve and stayed until 7PM. They were thorough with the installation and cleanup post installation. Very professional and refused to leave until everything was working properly. Had all of the proper tools and creatively solved a problem when identified. I would use them again without hesitation and highly recommend them."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

A DIY manual wooden gate costs $200 to $600 for a basic single-swing gate. If you want to hire a pro, a manual wood gate can cost $400 to $4,000. For automated wood gates, expect to pay $850 to $8,500.

Factors that affect price include the quality of materials, cost of labor, the height of the gate, and the type of gate you need.

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

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.

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.

Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.
