"Jack Weber,the estimator came out March 10 to review the project. The shingle replacement was obvious,however the leak we were experiencing from our chimney was harder to analyze do to the steep pitch and placement of the chimney in the center of the roof. Jack was knowledgeable and gave us two options in relation to what the service technician would find on closer inspection. If the flashing was found to be defective it would need to be replaced or just caulking might solve the problem.We were agreeable to whatever the service tech would recommend.We signed the contract and were told we would receive a call in 7 to 10 days to schedule an appointment.To our surprise, we received a call 5 days later at 7:20 am from the service tech telling us he would be over in 1 hr to do the job.Although I was surprised by the call which was not scheduled,I agreed to have the work done even though I had an appointment scheduled for that morning which required leaving home. Normally,this last minute scheduling would not be a problem but do to my previously scheduled appointment I had to push the time back so I could be home for the repair.At 9:30am the technician had not arrived and I called the Nombach office and was told the tech would be at my home in 10 minutes,which was accurate.However do the late arrival I had to cancel my other appointment. I was surprised to see one person assigned to this job do to the steepness of the roof and placement of the chimney. Chris J the tech was obviously highly experienced and confident that only one person was required for the job.The shingles were quickly replaced and the chimney flashing was assessed and found to be in good condition requiring only caulking. The honesty of Chris in not replacing the flashing ,which would have doubled the price of the repair, was appreciated.Although we have not had an extremely heavy rain,the caulk repair appears to have solved the leak.Do to their honesty and performance on this fairly small job,I would consider
using Nombach for additional projects in the future."

"So far, so good! I received 5 inches of the rain in the week after Reliable performed the work, and the repairs held up admirably. Dominick's low pressure sales approach and extremely helpful estimation combined with an upfront and honest demeanor minus the "we don't need your business anyway" attitude like I've experienced with other contractors in this vertical means we'll definitely be calling Reliable again for the remainder of work to be completed in our basement."

"Ben is very professional and has great attention to detail. He is also very good with keeping you informed with telephone calls He removed an existing fence and installed a new pressure treated shadowbox fence for me. He did this for significantly less than other fence companies. He also repaired a ventilation problem in my attic with a logical method that no other repairman I called had. This also saved me hudreds of dollars. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend and would call him again without hesitation."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Automatic gates don’t use too much electricity, and you should see a minimal effect on your utility bill. In fact, certain gate systems are entirely self-sufficient and rely on solar panels attached to or near the gate to power the motor. While a gate is large and there is a powerful motor moving it, it’s not something that sees constant use throughout the day. For most automatic gates, expect to see a utility bill increase of only around $10 per month.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

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?
