"Installation was fine but the fence has worn in 5 years and the gates are out of alignment. We requested an inspection and repair at our cost 2 weeks ago. We followed up with office and asked owner to respond to fix the problem. We have not received a response since the inspection by Alex. Alex was very nice and professional, but the lack response by the office as a return customer is concerning."

"Athanas was timely and professional. The fence went up on schedule, was level, and very nice. 4.5 years later, it still looks great and is holding up quite well. The only issue we've had is that one of the gates is on a sloped hill and has normal issues with expansion and contraction with changes of the seasons. I would definitely recommend Athanas."

"Fenceworks did an excellent job. They replaced old fencing and installed new upgraded fencing, including two new gates. The crew came right on time, worked hard and finished in one day, staying later than the office was open. Their work was meticulous, all level, even though the ground they were working with was uneven everywhere. They actually build the fence on-site to ensure their measurements are perfect - no prefab panels! The result is much better looking than the fencing they replaced, and certainly several times better in quality. Their clean up was equally comprehensive - not a speck of dust left anywhere. Definitely a great experience, and on top of everything their estimate was the lowest of the three we interviewed."

"This company is excellent! Guillermo is the owner and is very knowledgeable, efficient and responsive. They custom constructed the railings and completed the project much more quickly than expected and it was perfect. I will keep their info for future projects and to recommend them to anyone who needs metal fence or railing work."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Fence gates sag because they have no support on the latch side of the gate to help hold them aloft. A gate wheel fixes that problem by providing support for that latch side. Remember that the ground must be level in front of the gate so the wheel can roll freely when you open and close it. If the terrain is uneven or slopes, a gate wheel won’t work.

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.

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate.
