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.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

Wood, wrought iron, aluminum, and steel are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.

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.

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.
