"We contacted the company for a quote, Ted came out and gave us the quote, which was a fair quote for the product and since we used them on the other fence, we would use them again. Problems arose when we tried to get the permit so that the company could start on the date we accepted. When we tried to get it the city advised us that the company had not paid their licensing fee, so my wife called the company and advised them of this, the company representative advised us that they had, several calls back and forth between us and the village and  the company and a week and a half  later the fee was paid and we could get our permit we were also advised that because of the delay we had lost our date, we then advised them that this was not our fault and our date was given back. The workers arrived on time and began, they tore down the fence and placed the new one up in a day, the crew finished up and left. I went out side and viewed the gate and noticed the gate hinges had been poorly/ improperly installed, and that one of my gutters had been crushed and the siding cap on the corner of the house had been broken also a panel was left behind . I then photographed the problems and emailed and called the company about the issues. Jay had contacted my wife and stated that someone would be out to fix the problems, after a few day of not hearing anything we contacted Jay and left a message for him, he had contacted me and advised that someone would be by, no one came by, Jay then called and advised us that the person who was supposed to come by was sick and that another person would be coming by to make the repairs. The person did show up and fixed the gate hinges and some of the boards, he didn't have enough to fix all of the bad ones and advised us that he would be back next week to repair the gutter and siding cap, As of this date 05/22/14 they have not returned to fix those issues as of yet, the  gate was completed on 05/15/14. As of 05/25/14 I have not heard when they will be back, I will keep the site updated when they complete the corrections. on 05/29/14 someone came out and repaired the broken siding cap ( great job ) , he also left several boards if I needed to repair and bad boards, I would like to say I am pleased with the job done."

"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."

"This company was recommended to me by Century Tile a few years back and he did some work and  I was very satisfied so I kept his name for future projects. I have also referenced them to my family and friends with everyone being totally satisfied . The work he and his crew did for me has always been very proffesional and they start and finish.  I needed to upgrade alot of things in my house, a list from my wife, and George has a lot of experience with rehabbing so he was a perfect match.  His wife, Maria, is a great inside person getting all the materials ordered and delivered on time for every project.  My wife is happy with all the upgrades and I am happy for the great bundle discount he provided! If you have a lot of miscellaneous projects this company can do it with no problem."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or steel door to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door. You can also buy specialized locks separately for $200 to $600. If you decide to hire a pro to install your new security door, you’ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor costs.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.

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.

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.

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.
