Here at S&S construction we do it all! Concrete sidewalks, driveways, patios, fence repair,installation,seal,stain,&paint. decking, pressure washing, gutters, siding & roofing! Fair priced quality work. If you got a dime we got the time No job to small or big

"Would give 0 stats if I could! Stay away from Tim. Quoted us for a fence with 2 gates as we wanted, showed up a week later with only one because he forgot. Due to supply shortage he couldn't get another one and the one he had was cracked anyway. So here we are October when the fence was done in May, being ghosted when all we want is the money for the gates and labor costs refunded. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but now not being answered is the last straw."

The Cedar Mill Fence Company designs and builds custom cedar, aluminum and vinyl fences. We are one of Chicagoland’s oldest direct-mill outlets and we use skilled, professional full-time employees not sub-contractors. We offer full 5x5 posts, fully turned posts, and professional pre-staining.

"I should have checked all these reviews before engaging them. Overall fencing was good but I was charged for branch removal from a tree even though their estimator told me that they will take care of everything. Moreover, they had cut two of my sprinkler pipes and did not even inform me about it. My garden was flooded in the morning as I had my sprinkler to run every day early in the morning. All that I was asking was to reimburse $200 paid to their crew to remove the branches but no they would not. So watch out for all the hooks and hidden costs. Not ethical"

We are a small business run by two partners, Chris Harris and Rob Burgert, who between them have over 40 years' experience in all types of remodeling, construction, and home maintenance and improvement. At times we do employ additional subcontractors depending on the size of the job and timeline. We provide free estimates and will also work on a time and materials basis at a fixed hourly billing rate. We take payment through PayPal, cash, or check currently. We plan to add credit card payment options in the future. We do not provide financing, but we will work with your financing company to help you secure your financing. Our process includes seeing your project in person to give you an accurate estimate, at which time we will measure, discuss materials, timing, and budget. We will then either give you an instant quote on the spot or provide a more detailed quote within a week depending on the scope of the work. We typically ask for a down payment before we start work which can be anywhere from 25% to 50% depending on the size of the job. For example, if we quote you a price of $2,000 for your project we will ask for $1,000 down. If the quote is for $10,000, we will ask for $2,500 down to start. Additional payouts will come at completion of specific stages. With smaller jobs under $500 we typically will ask for payment upon completion with a signed contract. Change orders are initiated by the customer and billed with the last payment. All change orders are approved and signed off by the homeowner before the additional work is incorporated into the project. For homeowners who are not familiar with the remodeling process, we are happy to sit down and discuss all the steps involved and materials. We will even help the homeowner shop for finish goods like flooring and tile. For instance, some types of tile are preferred for some applications than others. We use our expertise to assist the homeowner with those choices.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether you can attach a wood extension to a vinyl gate depends on the gate's construction. Some vinyl gates are sturdy enough to allow wood or vinyl boards to be attached. Many, however, have hollow frames that may not hold screws or heavy extensions securely. For these, consider alternative extension options such as a rubber flap or chicken wire.

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.

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.

Installing your own gate is possible, but we don’t recommend it. Gates can weigh hundreds of pounds in some cases, and even types of gates made from the lightest materials are heavy, bulky, and difficult to maneuver into place. Positioning your gate perfectly is also crucial to make sure it swings smoothly and either closes automatically or doesn’t close without force, depending on your preferences. Mistakes made by DIYers can be quite costly, too, as the materials alone average around $1,000. As such, it’s better to hire a professional gate installer.
