"I received a few quotes from fencing companies. My husband and I decided to hire Flores Fencing. The quotes I received from the different fencing companies were pretty similar as far as cost but we decided to go with Flores Fencing because they were the only company that seem enthusiastic about getting our business. The other companies, which have been in business a lot longer than Flores Fencing, never even bothered with any form of follow up communication after they gave me the quote. Emanuel however, was great at communicating with me throughout the process and Wilfredo was great at addressing my questions or concerns about my project. The workers were efficient and after completing the installation of my fence and gate, they made sure they left my yard pristine. Wilfredo, who is one of the salesperson, came over to help the workers to make sure the work was completed in one day. He even took it upon himself to fix a gate that was not part of our project which he noticed needed a simple repair. The fence and gate they installed looks absolutely wonderful. I am so pleased! I highly recommend Flores Fencing!"

"

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.

"It could not have gone better. JJ came to look at the staircase on a Wednesday. We got his bid on Friday, and it was significantly less than the only other bid we received. JJ said he could start work on the coming Monday and finish on Thursday. That’s exactly what happened. JJ is a nice guy who knows his stuff and is easy to work with. We’ll surely hire him again."

"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."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added sliding gate mechanisms, which can go out from frequent use.

Installing a gate on your property is often a worthwhile investment, despite the initial expense. Gates enhance your home's curb appeal and can increase its property value, making them more attractive to potential homebuyers. They provide significant security benefits by keeping out unwanted guests and increasing privacy for your household. Additionally, a gate can help keep children and pets safely contained in your yard.

For driveway gates, automatic versions are particularly convenient and tend to add more value than manual ones. The choice of gate material also plays a role in both aesthetic appeal and security. Beyond driveways, side gates can improve accessibility to your rear yard, making the outdoor space more usable. Overall, whether for security, safety, or aesthetics, installing a gate is a valuable addition to a property.

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

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.

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.
