"Mike and his guys poured a 24x30 foundation for a metal building I was installing. They did a great job. I told Mike my daughter had a graduation party 3 day later. They did an excellent job cleaning my yard up when they were done. One month later I had them pour a driveway and a sidewalk. They turned out great as well"

"

Was pleased with the project overall. Liked that Tim explained different brands of fencing so we could choose quality over just the cheapest price. They explained their installation tid bits that help keep the challenges of vinyl fencing from rising out of the ground over time. Their price was in line with other company's proposals. The installers worked well together and had a 'system' that made them very efficient. I could not believe 3 people could do the project in 1 full day, but they did.

Within a month of the fence installed, one of those nasty storms caused a section to break free. We were panicked at first that we chose the wrong product, this was exactly what were trying to avoid by choosing a high wind resistant brand in Kroy. They came out within 3 days of the breakdown and explained the section notching mechanism was just a bit not slotted in place, so the fence is designed to break away like that. Only part that actually broke was the post cap. He was able to reconnect the section and have not had any troubles with section failure since. Expect that gates will need adjusting, just an fyi, with ground settling the first year, but the repair group comes out to adjust and teach the owner how to make future little adjustments from normal ground shifting.

"Overall, the experience was positive. Derek and his crew were nice, professional, and punctual, once the job was started. Our new bathroom looks wonderful, especially for the outstanding price. We would definitely use them again, especially if it was such a great deal.  The work was completed in a very timely manner.
Derek offered to have tile installed on our walls as well, and did not charge us extra for the labor, which was incredibly generous, especially given the deal we were already getting, and it looks great!
Especially given that we have a baby, I was expecting that having contractors in our house for a week would be a nightmare, but they were as unobtrusive as possible.  Also, we only have one bathroom, so they made sure that we had a toilet in every night while the work was being done, which was a huge plus.
In my experience, some companies offer big discounts to get business but then act as though they are put out by having to provide their service, and only do the minimum.  This was not our experience with Home DM.  They treated us as a valued client, and Derek told us several times that he wanted us to be completely satisfied and happy with our bathroom.
We only had a few minor issues:
There was about a week's delay from our original planned start time, due to a delay with the project before ours and in getting our village permits.  Fortunately, my husband was able to change the days he had taken off work for the job.
When the village did their inspection, there was one aspect of the plumbing that was not up to code and had to be changed.  Overall, it did not change the end product or delay the work, but if the inspector hadn't required it to be fixed, it might have caused an issue when we sell our house or possibly caused an issue later with the plumbing.
My husband said that one day a worker left the gate to our fenced-in back yard open.  If he had not noticed in time, our dogs could have gotten out and ran into the street (so not a big deal, but could have been huge).
We had a little trouble communicating our wishes regarding choice of vanity, fixtures, etc. to Derek.  In the end, we got everything just as we wanted, but at the time, the process was a little bit stressful.  This would not have been an issue if we had gone with the standard materials that are included in the deal.  As it was, it would make things easier if they had an organized system for picking out materials for people who want to select their own.  He seemed to sometimes not understand quite what we were asking or telling him, but we eventually got it figured out."

"Jeff Winton and crew at Aspen are great to work with. Quality work and fair price. Last year, they installed a three-rail red cedar split rail with galvanized welded wire and three gates for our backyard (about 1/2 an acre) in a day-and-a-half."

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.

For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don’t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

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?

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.
