"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."

"Jeff was very easy to contact; when I called he always answered. The workers did a good job putting the posts in the ground.  They worked quickly and that might have contributed to them cutting the cable line for both our house and that of our neighbor.  We had to wait a week for our cable company to fix the damaged cable lines. While I realize that Jeff is not responsible for the cable company being slow to respond, it was his workers that caused the problem.  Jeff gave me a 10% discount off the job which I don't think was enough for the level of inconvenience my neighbor and I experienced."

"Had taken over management of owner occupied 3 flat apartment building. Recently leased apartment to new tenant. Found that work done on master bathroom by someone hired by owner less than two years ago was faulty. A leak in bath room in apartment above had been discovered and fixed, but who ever owner hired to do repair on water damage to this bathroom apparently never replaced wet wall board, just painted and tiled over!
Also about time I was getting quotes for repairing this bathroom, I replaced the old drop-in stove top in the apartment with a new one. However the old unit had knobs in front, while new one had controls on top. This left a open cutout in front of cabinet.
Tom had been out of town when I first started getting quotes, and I had almost decided on an other provider. However, he offered to meet me at the building at my convenience (I am only there once or twice a week) to see what was needed and give me a quote on the spot.
He showed up on time. When I showed him the main 'job' - the master bath- I gave him minimum information. His answers as to what probably happened and what would be needed, depending on extent of hidden damage was spot on. I also liked his suggestions as to how he would fix the problems.  As we went through the apartment I ask the tenant to show us anything else she felt needed to be 'fixed/adjusted'.  Tom gave good answers to the few items she pointed out., and, while honest, did not put me into any bind or make apartment owner seem bad.
After we left the tenant, Tom explained to me what he would do, and how long he expected to take. I also went into more detail about 'prior' fix with him at that time, though it appeared he easily was able to see what had happened. Tom gave me expected time to do all the fixes, and price. I was impressed that he just about promised all could be done in one day without disrupting tenant to any major degree.  Also, he would be able start within a reasonable time frame, which was important to me.
Tom came out and did the work with in  the next week. While I was not able to be there at the time, I reviewed the work he did several days later. He did a very good job. Also, important to me, the tenant was also pleased and complemented his professionalism. He did quality work, timely, and at a very reasonable price.
I am going to use Tom for future jobs as needed at the building. Not only I will recommend him to others, but here are some projects in the near future I am planning at my own home about which I will be contacting him.

"The project went really well, and I couldn't be happier. Just as I requested, the new railing looks exactly like the old railing. There were some issues with installing it into the existing concrete steps, and Rick Gleason found a solution that really worked well. The new railing is sturdy and looks great."

"Overall, the experience was positive. Derek and his crew were nice, professional, and punctual, once the job was started. Our new bathroom looks wonderful, especially for the outstanding price. We would definitely use them again, especially if it was such a great deal.  The work was completed in a very timely manner.
Derek offered to have tile installed on our walls as well, and did not charge us extra for the labor, which was incredibly generous, especially given the deal we were already getting, and it looks great!
Especially given that we have a baby, I was expecting that having contractors in our house for a week would be a nightmare, but they were as unobtrusive as possible.  Also, we only have one bathroom, so they made sure that we had a toilet in every night while the work was being done, which was a huge plus.
In my experience, some companies offer big discounts to get business but then act as though they are put out by having to provide their service, and only do the minimum.  This was not our experience with Home DM.  They treated us as a valued client, and Derek told us several times that he wanted us to be completely satisfied and happy with our bathroom.
We only had a few minor issues:
There was about a week's delay from our original planned start time, due to a delay with the project before ours and in getting our village permits.  Fortunately, my husband was able to change the days he had taken off work for the job.
When the village did their inspection, there was one aspect of the plumbing that was not up to code and had to be changed.  Overall, it did not change the end product or delay the work, but if the inspector hadn't required it to be fixed, it might have caused an issue when we sell our house or possibly caused an issue later with the plumbing.
My husband said that one day a worker left the gate to our fenced-in back yard open.  If he had not noticed in time, our dogs could have gotten out and ran into the street (so not a big deal, but could have been huge).
We had a little trouble communicating our wishes regarding choice of vanity, fixtures, etc. to Derek.  In the end, we got everything just as we wanted, but at the time, the process was a little bit stressful.  This would not have been an issue if we had gone with the standard materials that are included in the deal.  As it was, it would make things easier if they had an organized system for picking out materials for people who want to select their own.  He seemed to sometimes not understand quite what we were asking or telling him, but we eventually got it figured out."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

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.

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.

No, you can’t use a garage door opener as a gate opener. Automatic garage door openers and automatic gate openers serve similar functions and may even operate similarly via remote control; however, they aren’t interchangeable. Garage door openers aren’t intended for outdoor use and can’t withstand exposure to the elements.

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.
