Q: When is replacing a wrought iron gate a better option than covering it for privacy purposes?

• <div><p>Is your wrought iron gate really rusty or in need of major repair work? Replacing it with a gate with built-in privacy screening may be easier and, in some cases, more economical.

Q: Should a gate swing in or out?

Q: How long does a driveway gate last?

• <div><p>Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate.

The concrete driveway job went pretty smooth other than weather restrictions. Guys were very professional and explained the process to me.

My yard had a lot of hard clay so tractor work was used to break up the yard. We then installed the sprinkler system and laid down sod.

Everything was completed in stages and Lee, the owner was very accommodating.

Having never needed repairs of this magnitude, we called half a dozen contractors for estimates. After looking them over we settled on Haber because they were local and had an easy to understand estimate.

The day we called Barry to tell him he was our choice, he had a crew out to close up the roof. He did this even before any paperwork was signed.

Over the next two weeks, repairs were done in a most satisfactory way. There were a few days where his crew had to work around our schedule. Even then the work progressed faster than expected. Dad was able to stay in the house during the repairs.

We had the roof and underlining roof structure repaired , the entire roof got new shingles. The damaged rain gutters were replaced. The master bath was completely rebuilt, and painted. Master bedroom ceiling was painted. Holes in the kitchen ceiling were patched and the entire ceiling was painted as was the front room. Cracks in the kitchen wall were patched and the entire wall was painted.

And some 35 feet of fence was replaced.

Cables for the TV were re run.

At this point

we determined there would be money left over , So we had 2 exterior doors replaced , new Gutters installed on the other 3 sides of the house , and some landscaping issues resolved, topsoil and a large area covered with grass sod.

The job was done in less than 2 weeks. All trash was removed. The house looks great.

I would recommend Haber to anyone.

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.

Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added sliding gate mechanisms, which can go out from frequent use.
