"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."

"Tom installed a beautiful ceramic floor in my kitchen.  He guided me and made recommendations.  His estimate of the number of tiles was exactly 4 boxes with a half a tile leftover.  His 18 years of experience is apparent in his meticulous work ethic.  After seeing all the measuring (twice) and cutting I witness, I'm so glad I did not attempt to install the tiles myself.

"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."

"Derek was very attentive and the Home Dm Crew gets an "A+" for an excellent job.  We are very happy with the work they did.  Derek took the time to talk to us about the whole process before we started.   During the project he made sure we were informed about everything.  After the project was done Derek gave us a couple of days to look over the bathrooms, to make sure we were satisfied, and we are.   It has been 1 month and we have found that everything is to our liking."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

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.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
