Chicago based outdoor living expert specializing in Deck, Fence, Porch, Pergola and Screen Room building

"While the deck was just finished, so far we are very happy with the new build. From start to finish Dan and Dianne Partipilo were fantastic! After meeting with several other contractors, we hired Partipilo Custom Decks because they were knowledgeable, professional, responsiveness, and focused on quality. When Dan came out initially for the estimate, he informed us about new building code requirements that a new build needed to have even though we were replacing the old deck virtually like-for-like. It was apparent to us that Dan has a good amount of experience with these projects. Several other contractors we had meet with were not as knowledgeable and did not point out some of the key issues with our build like Dan. Additionally, some of them mentioned unorthodox methods for certain parts of the build that did not make sense to do or seem up to code. After coming out for the estimate, Dan quickly followed up with a proposal (in electronic document format) for our job which was itemized to show what work would occur and what materials would be used. Several contractors only supplied a hand written proposal that was not itemized which did not make us feel comfortable with the work and materials to be provided. Both Dan and Dianne, were very quick to respond to any questions. We felt that they were definitely working hard to make sure the project was completed to meet our expectations. From the start of the project, we were provided (without any prompting) all of the information we should know; Dianne even sent us an FAQ that addressed a lot of questions which were likely to come up from start to finish. They were also tremendous during the permit and inspection process by keeping us informed at all stages. The completed deck looks great and brought back the beauty of the property which was lost for so many years. We feel that they were definitely the right choice for our project, and we would use them again."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

In addition to a doorbell camera, you can upgrade your home’s security with several different features. Backyard security, for instance, may include a mix of security cameras, lighting, and fencing. Additional security cameras around your property, as well as a total smart security system with an alarm connected to your smartphone, are also advisable. This could well be worth the cost for the peace of mind alone, but home security systems also lower home insurance costs.

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?

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.

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.
