"I had a new garage door and opener installed, and I'm happy I chose to use this company. Just about everyone was friendly and helpful, both in the office and on-site. The installation was done well. The installer had some issues, but other team members made things right. Overall, it was a good experience. One thing to note: it took about 3 weeks from the time the door was ordered until it was ready, but installation was scheduled quickly after that. I wasn't in a hurry, so this wasn't an issue for me, but it might be for someone else."

"I would give a 6 star review if I could. I called KG because I had an electrical issue that had nothing to do with my gate. My electrician couldn't figure out the problem so he told me to ask if it was the gate causing an electrical short. Josh came out & confirmed that all his equipment was working properly. Then my electrician comes back & asked to talk to Josh to figure it out. Josh answers his phone WHILE ON VACATION!!! You can't get that kind of service anywhere. It was a bad GFI outlet. KG Doors has been responsive since the installation May 2015"

Looking for top-notch fencing services in Chicago? Look no further! Advanced Fence & Gate is here to meet all your fencing needs. With 11 skilled employees, we offer competitive pricing and no travel charges. Don't forget to ask about our exclusive Angie's List discount. Contact us today!

"Craig came out and took measurements and discussed various options. I had two other estimates, one higher, one lower. The reason I chose Advanced is they were the only ones who dug the post holes to 42", not 36" as the other two. Our city does not have codes regulating post hole depth, but I was told that 42'"is considered the frost line. Also Advanced was the only company that suggested having 4" x 6" posts on the hinge side of the 6' gates. And they guaranteed their gates for a longer period of time than the others. The crew worked efficiently/quickly, cleaned up the site nicely. Upon completion, there were some boards that needed to be replaced. Todd agreed and the crew came back out to replace them. A minor adjustment to one of the gate latches was also made several months later. All in all, a good experience."

"This is a difficult review to write. Some of the work do​n​e by Welter Home Services was good and the handyman they sent didn't waste any time going between jobs​ on my list​. ​ The main work that was done well was installation of 2 shower grab bars​ and fixing a kitchen cabinet garbage can door that eventually broke after over 20 years of constant use. ​ Unfortunately, some of the work was ​totally un​acceptable and they do not stand by their work, even when notified within 24 hours​ of the work being completed. If they can classify it as a "repair", it's buyer beware! If it breaks again or you see something unacceptable 1 min after they pull out of your driveway, they actually expect you to PAY THEM to fix their own poor work! The work that was not at all satisfactory was the installation of weather-stripping on 2 doors and fixing a broken screw on my desk's keyboard drawer. It took 3 attempts to get the drawer (hopefully) fixed, of which I had to pay for 2 of the attempts. My front door is admittedly not the best and they did make it close easier (not on my fix-it list). However, in the process, they left such a large gap between the door and the weather-stripping that I could see sunlight coming in between the door and the frame. The handyman actually tried to tell me that I was just seeing the weatherstipping, but I guarantee you that I can tell the difference between sunlight that leaves a shadow and some light-colored weatherstripping! I have since installed some foam weatherstipping to stop the massive air leaks before the weather turns and it becomes too cold for the foam to stick properly. I ​paid t​hem almost $220​, and then had to fix it myself​! Adding insult to injury, when I called to complain about the large gap they left around my front door, the owner Kevin Welter told me twice that "he hoped I would be reasonable"! As a woman of a certain age, that sexist comment translates as "Just be a good girl and stay quiet!" Would he DARE make such a comment to one of his male customers? I will NEVER use them again - sexist or not - as I feel that anyone who does not have enough pride in their work to stand by it and fix something that is clearly unacceptable is just not trustworthy."

"I received a few quotes from fencing companies. My husband and I decided to hire Flores Fencing. The quotes I received from the different fencing companies were pretty similar as far as cost but we decided to go with Flores Fencing because they were the only company that seem enthusiastic about getting our business. The other companies, which have been in business a lot longer than Flores Fencing, never even bothered with any form of follow up communication after they gave me the quote. Emanuel however, was great at communicating with me throughout the process and Wilfredo was great at addressing my questions or concerns about my project. The workers were efficient and after completing the installation of my fence and gate, they made sure they left my yard pristine. Wilfredo, who is one of the salesperson, came over to help the workers to make sure the work was completed in one day. He even took it upon himself to fix a gate that was not part of our project which he noticed needed a simple repair. The fence and gate they installed looks absolutely wonderful. I am so pleased! I highly recommend Flores Fencing!"

"If I could leave less than 1 star I would. I was a return customer that needed a few fence posts replaced as they rotted out. The quote was very high but they had done a good job in the past. We asked them to check other posts as well to be sure and let us know which ones to replace. They proceeded to just replace all posts in the line while we were gone for 30 mins. At least 2 of the 3 posts were just fine and did not need to be replaced. They then charged over $800 for the additional three posts they added and refused to wait the 10 minutes until we arrived to take the invoice or deal with it. In addition they did not bother to check the remaining fence as we asked and failed to clean up. They left dirt and concrete everywhere. We then called the following Monday as this occurred on a Friday, asked them to come out to finish and dispute the bill. They did not come out as planned and then told us to make an appointment. That all their fees are fixed and each post starts at $350 for the first one and $275 for each one after. Never did they tell us this in the quote or prior to installing the posts. We are left with a mess to clean and paid exorbitant fees for terrible work. Stay away!"

Your garden will be designed by an award winning Master Gardener. Maureen Taylor has a degree in Horticulture and Landscape Design. She is a board member of the Landscape Design Associates and an active member of Midwest Ecological Landscapers Association and Illinois Landscape Contractors Association. Maureen is a proud community gardener and has started several community gardens the Old Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago where she lives. In 2007 she won first place in the prestigious Mayor Daley's Landscape Award for her own backyard. One of her community gardens won second place. Please visit my picture sharing site for pictures of some of my recent projects: http://taylormadelandscapedesign.shutterfly.com/ Please visit my website: http://www.taylormadelandscapedesign.com/index.htm

"I found out about this business through several local neighborhood chat groups. I have had nothing but the best rapport, support, design and install from Maureen and her team. They undertook a huge front and back yard project. We completed relandscaped the front of my 115 year old bungalow with a lush perennial garden (and added in some of my mature plants from elsewhere on the property). We carved out two huge new beds and they are chock full of plants I love. We did a complete gut of my hard scape in the rear yard, created a beautiful walkway and patio for my new pergola and a second for my dining table and relandscaped the entire backyard and expanded a huge sun loving perennial bed and added trees and some landscape lighting and a shade bed too. Simply stunning!"

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

If you only use your gate as a pedestrian, walking through without a vehicle, you’re fine to stick with a single fence gate. If your fence opening needs to accommodate vehicles of any kind, from cars to trucks to 4-wheelers, then a double fence gate will suit the space much better and give you more freedom. 

You can install manual gates yourself. However, professional installation is recommended for automated or large gates to ensure proper setup.

Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or automatic gate openers. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.

For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don’t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.

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.
