"I had a new garage door and opener installed, and I'm happy I chose to use this company. Just about everyone was friendly and helpful, both in the office and on-site. The installation was done well. The installer had some issues, but other team members made things right. Overall, it was a good experience. One thing to note: it took about 3 weeks from the time the door was ordered until it was ready, but installation was scheduled quickly after that. I wasn't in a hurry, so this wasn't an issue for me, but it might be for someone else."

"I would give a 6 star review if I could. I called KG because I had an electrical issue that had nothing to do with my gate. My electrician couldn't figure out the problem so he told me to ask if it was the gate causing an electrical short. Josh came out & confirmed that all his equipment was working properly. Then my electrician comes back & asked to talk to Josh to figure it out. Josh answers his phone WHILE ON VACATION!!! You can't get that kind of service anywhere. It was a bad GFI outlet. KG Doors has been responsive since the installation May 2015"

Looking for top-notch fencing services in Chicago? Look no further! Advanced Fence & Gate is here to meet all your fencing needs. With 11 skilled employees, we offer competitive pricing and no travel charges. Don't forget to ask about our exclusive Angie's List discount. Contact us today!
"Craig came out and took measurements and discussed various options. I had two other estimates, one higher, one lower. The reason I chose Advanced is they were the only ones who dug the post holes to 42", not 36" as the other two. Our city does not have codes regulating post hole depth, but I was told that 42'"is considered the frost line. Also Advanced was the only company that suggested having 4" x 6" posts on the hinge side of the 6' gates. And they guaranteed their gates for a longer period of time than the others. The crew worked efficiently/quickly, cleaned up the site nicely. Upon completion, there were some boards that needed to be replaced. Todd agreed and the crew came back out to replace them. A minor adjustment to one of the gate latches was also made several months later. All in all, a good experience."

"This is a difficult review to write. Some of the work done by Welter Home Services was good and the handyman they sent didn't waste any time going between jobs on my list. The main work that was done well was installation of 2 shower grab bars and fixing a kitchen cabinet garbage can door that eventually broke after over 20 years of constant use. Unfortunately, some of the work was totally unacceptable and they do not stand by their work, even when notified within 24 hours of the work being completed. If they can classify it as a "repair", it's buyer beware! If it breaks again or you see something unacceptable 1 min after they pull out of your driveway, they actually expect you to PAY THEM to fix their own poor work! The work that was not at all satisfactory was the installation of weather-stripping on 2 doors and fixing a broken screw on my desk's keyboard drawer. It took 3 attempts to get the drawer (hopefully) fixed, of which I had to pay for 2 of the attempts. My front door is admittedly not the best and they did make it close easier (not on my fix-it list). However, in the process, they left such a large gap between the door and the weather-stripping that I could see sunlight coming in between the door and the frame. The handyman actually tried to tell me that I was just seeing the weatherstipping, but I guarantee you that I can tell the difference between sunlight that leaves a shadow and some light-colored weatherstripping! I have since installed some foam weatherstipping to stop the massive air leaks before the weather turns and it becomes too cold for the foam to stick properly. I paid them almost $220, and then had to fix it myself! Adding insult to injury, when I called to complain about the large gap they left around my front door, the owner Kevin Welter told me twice that "he hoped I would be reasonable"! As a woman of a certain age, that sexist comment translates as "Just be a good girl and stay quiet!" Would he DARE make such a comment to one of his male customers? I will NEVER use them again - sexist or not - as I feel that anyone who does not have enough pride in their work to stand by it and fix something that is clearly unacceptable is just not trustworthy."

"We had a section of our wrought iron damaged after a tree fell during a storm and needed about 40 feet of fence replaced. During the process we had numerous fence contractors come out for an estimate, tell us they could do the job, and would email an estimate with in 2 days...only to be ghosted afterwards. Not with Flores Fence. They came out, gave me a ballpark estimate and general window when they could do that job. Two days later, they delivered an estimate and would also complete the job within the original window they told me. Working with them was so easy, the installation went great and the fence looks amazing. We are very happy with the result."

FAQs for driveway gate service projects in Evanston, IL
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.
It might be possible to install your own manual driveway gate rather than an automatic one, but we don’t recommend it. Driveway gates are large, heavy, and bulky, and getting them to your house and maneuvering them for installation can be dangerous. It’s also challenging to install the gate and balance it perfectly so that it functions as expected, and wiring any automation mechanisms for your gate is also dangerous and requires help from an electrician. We recommend leaving the work to a professional driveway gate installer.
Driveway gates are expensive to install, but they are usually a worthwhile investment. Not only does this exterior feature improve your curb appeal and, by extension, your property value, but they also help keep your home secure. Driveway can keep out unwanted guests and provide additional privacy for you and your household. Plus, they can serve as a means of keeping children and pets in your yard, depending on the type of fence.
In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a driveway gate unless you plan on removing an existing gate and installing a new one. You can either ask your driveway gate installer or your local building department to determine if a permit is required in your area and for your specific project. If you live on a corner property, additional restrictions may be attached to your permit that prevent you from installing a gate over a certain height or a privacy fence. Make sure you check with your installer about permitting before choosing a gate.
The average cost to install a driveway gate is around $3,500, and prices usually total between $1,900 and $6,000. However, security and driveway gates can cost as much as $12,000. Some cost factors include the size of the gate, the type of gate, the gate material, and the security level of the gate. A wrought iron gate will be more expensive than a PVC driveway gate, which will typically cost more than a wood gate. Automated gates are always more expensive than manual ones, as they require additional electrical installation.
