"I hired these guys to install an estate gate at my winter home in Englewood Florida. I dealt with them strictly by phone and e-mail and the level of communication was phenomenal. The owner made the choice extremely easy by sending pictures and options through e-mail. Once completed, they sent me pictures and videos of the gate in operation. I could not be happier with their service and can t wait to operate my new gate when I come back for the winter."

"Very pleased with all aspects from quote, installation and follow-up with H&Y Fence Co. Lee Ann, in the office, was very helpful in answering questions and scheduling the job. Hats off to Diego and Miguel for an excellent installation of the fence and gate. They arrived as scheduled, explained the process, installed the fence and gate without destroying the flower beds and cleaned the property thoroughly after the job was completed, and hauled away the old fence/gate.. I highly recommend H&Y fence company."

"10/10 Highly recommend. Englewood Fence did a fantastic job installing my gate. The owner, Robert, brought great ideas to the project and executed them beautifully. His crew was professional, respectful, and clearly takes pride in their work. No shortcuts were taken. What really stood out was that the owner was personally on-site to ensure everything was done perfectly. That level of involvement and attention to detail is hard to find. I will absolutely be using Englewood Fence again for future projects!"

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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?

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.

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.

While many gate hinges are often made of extremely durable materials, such as galvanized steel, they can wear out after many years. How quickly they wear out also depends on how much use they’ve endured. It’s also possible for the hinge screws to fall out, which weakens the hinge. Once a hinge wears out, it’s time for a replacement so your gate doesn’t start sagging.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.
