"The fence repair went extremely well and I would highly recommend Woodmaster Fence for repairing an old fence. This was the best offer I received given the amount of work they did. All appointments were on time and the 2 man crew cleaned up, hauled away all of the old fencing material that was replaced. The owner and 2 workers were obviously very knowledgeable concerning what needed to be done and helpful."

We are committed to providing a great price, a great product, and great customer service without sacrificing quality. Our family started in 1992, and has since built a excellent reputation for service & quality in fencing and Yard products industry. We offer year round service so there is always someone to assist in the design or creation of superior products. The Aztec Fence family is proudly serving the entire Illinois & Wisconsin markets. Our staff is fully licensed, bonded and insured, and has received multiple awards for service from the BBB. We have many sizes, styles and colors available. Feel free to give us a call for a Free Estimate. Thanks for choosing Aztec Fence for all your fencing needs.

"We contacted Aztec to quote removal of existing and installation of a new fence. We set up an appointment for a few weeks later. About a week before our appointment there were new restrictions due to Coronavirus, so we called Aztec to confirm they were still meeting us the following Monday. Well, Monday came and we waited and waited. Finally called Aztec, and they told us they had no record of any appointments in our city. Very frustrating, because we came from out of town to make this appointment, and our neighbor also cleared his calendar so we could all meet. Since this is the way Aztec handles (or doesn't handle!) appointments, I can't imagine how well they would handle the actual job."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Is your wrought iron gate really rusty or in need of major repair work? Replacing it with a gate with built-in privacy screening may be easier and, in some cases, more economical. Professional fence or gate repair costs average $100 to $400, and you may be able to get a new gate for the same price.

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added sliding gate mechanisms, which can go out from frequent use.

In most cases, installing a driveway gate will improve the value of your home. Driveway gates appeal to homebuyers because they provide additional security for the home and make your property more private. Automatic driveway gates are extra convenient and will usually add more value than manual ones. The gate material will also affect the value addition to your home, as it plays a role in aesthetic appeal and security for your property.

Ideally, your gate would swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it's generally best for the gate to swing inward. There are exceptions, however. For example, if your property is on a slope, your gate may not be able to swing in.

Keep in mind that there may be local building codes that require your gate to swing inward.
