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.

"We met Mr. Haber at a local home show.  We had been searching in vain for someone to repair or install a new door. (He said he would only repair a door that he had installed himself.) He returned our call promptly, and said he could send a quote without measuring since the size is pretty standard.  He also told us about a used door that we might want., that had been in a display.  He sent us a picture of the door and we decided to take it.  It is a gorgeous Pella door with a screen, and it was half priced.
The job was scheduled, and two professional young men arrived fairly early on the date set. Our old door was very well attached, and it took a lot of patience and hard work to remove it.  They worked steadily, on a pretty hot day with no shade nearby, and were very polite and friendly.  When they finished the job, they cleaned the area well, leaving everything neat. 
I would use this remodeling service again, in fact I plan to in the near future.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

While entryways are seldom added to a house to increase the sale price, they are commonly constructed to increase the livability and enjoyment of a home. So, while they aren’t necessary, they do make for a more comfortable and luxurious-feeling home. Entryways are most valuable in areas of extreme heat, cold, or rain, as the space between the living area and the outdoors helps keep the outdoors outside. Plus, snow, wet boots, and mud are all corralled into one space that’s easy to clean.

Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:

  • Have you worked with my gate material in the past?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?

  • Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?

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

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.
