"From the outset, working with Carl has been a very positive experience.  I don't think there is a job out there that Carl could not handle.  I am so impressed with his quality of work, professionalism, price point, ability to meet timelines and more.  It's always evident that he takes a lot of pride in his work, and goes the extra mile to make sure the job is done right the first time.  On several occasions, I've encouraged him to go the "easier route" on a certain part of the job, and each time he went the extra mile and did the job properly - even though it took him longer, and the work was likely more difficult for him - you can tell he likes it done the right way.  I am so appreciative of that because the results speak for themselves.  Carl has an excellent work ethic, his integrity both personally and professionally are evident, and I trust him implicitly - there are not many people that I would leave a key under the mat for to perform work while I'm not home, but after a few days of having Carl in my home, I wouldn't give it a second thought.  I'm a new homeowner, and there has been a major transformation since Carl first stepped in the door.  My friends and neighbors all compliment the work that has been done, and it makes going home so enjoyable at the end of a long day!  I would very highly recommend Carl at AJP Construction for anyone looking for a knowledgeable craftsman that can handle almost anything home-improvement related!

"PROMPT! PROFESSIONAL! GREAT COMMUNICATIONS! SKILLED INSTALLERS! GREAT PRODUCT AT THE RIGHT PRICE!!!
We received bids from 3 contractors on Angie's List. From my first dealings with the operator at the Gulfstream office, to the salesman, measuring team, installers and a personal call from the owner Barbara after the installation to make sure we were happy, our dealings with Gulfstream Shutters was 1st Class all the way!!!
The installation crew they sent us worked non-stop for 3 1/2 days in high humidity and 90s temps to get the job done. They were professional, courteous, respectful and hard working.
IT JUST DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS!!!
We are very happy customers and will be using them again on our rental house soon.
If you are ever in need of shutters, room additions or any services Gulfstream offers, do yourself a favor and place your order with them.

"I had over 250 linear feet of fence with 3 gates installed in January. It is just beautiful and I enjoy it every morning as I sit on our porch. The guys did a wonderful job of installation. They were very respectful not only of my property, but also that of my neighbors since they had to be in their yards to finish my fence. They quickly dismantled my old fence, hauled it away, and got the posts up for the new fence on the first day. Everything is done legit (permits, surveys,inspections). Bobby came out to give me the free estimate. He was punctual, honest, professional, and straight forward. We found a date that worked with my schedule and demolition started right on time.  Excellent support is offered from their office, as well.  Taylor kept me apprised of any issues and was always available to answer my questions!
While the fence is not cheap (I had one of those before :( ), it is worth every penny!! I am having them come back to stain it once the wood fully dries out. I'm glad there is a true professional fence company near us.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.

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.

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.
