"K & L Excavating removed an inground fuel oil tank, hauled it away and filled in the hole. I was impressed with their professionalism and they left the area looking great. They had the right equipment and were cleaned up and gone in 2 hours and 45 minutes."

"It went excellent. It was like a third of the price of what the dealer wanted. I had broken a door handle. He came to my house to do the work. He calls you before he shows up. I would absolutely recommend him. I have used him before as well, and he is an amazing/honest guy. He is one of those rare people who does what he says he is going to do. He is a road scholar. He is the first one I call when I have a project around the house."

"Our initial date got rained out, and since the work was ALL outside, we asked to reschedule, which John did without hesitation.
The rescheduled date was perfect and sunny and they showed up right on time.
I had tons of jobs in my old house that needed doing, but we settled on three for this session and purpose of the big deal:
  • Fix a downspout
  • repair a broken concrete step
  • repair a gate on an eight foot privacy fence.
Our house is a MONSTER (a three story victorian with an attic and basement).  One of the jobs I needed to handle was a downspout that had fallen during a storm.  No big deal, right?   WRONG.  I had five other contractors look at the job and refused to even touch it.  John not only agreed to the task, but was able to fix it better than it originally was.
A concrete step had a large portion of the corner broken off, and a second railing could not be added due to the missing concrete.
This was fixed quickly and he even came back afterward to remove the form so we didn't have to take care of that.  Did I mention that he cleared the weeds from around the porch for me while he built the form? 
The final job was a fence that has seen better days.  Since it is an 8 foot fence, the gate is rather large and heavy.
Over time it had begun to sag and it was being held closed by a heavy brick.
John took off the gate, repaired the broken board, replaced the hardware, added support to the framework, and rehung it.  We now have a perfect swinging gate that does not sag and keeps our doggies safe.
I am more than happy with the work that was performed and we will be calling  again!

"WOW! I'm elderly and have hired dozens of handymen over the years! Mike is one of the best (if not the very best) I've ever employed! Mike is prompt, resourceful, hard working, diligent, dependable, and over the last couple of weeks shown to be smart, responsive and always polite. I have yet to challenge him with a project (and there have been several) that he has not done to my total satisfaction. I will gladly share more detail. BTW: I accidentally met Mike three weeks ago at the Home Depot check-out line where he kindly offered to help load some purchases in my trunk, so this recommendation isn't coming from a relative or acquaintance......this young man is outstanding!"

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A sliding gate, or a sliding gate door, is a versatile gate system used for various applications. Sliding gate mechanisms allow the gate to move horizontally along a track or guide system when opened or closed. They come in multiple types, including sliding folding gates, telescopic gates, cantilever gates, and track sliding gates. These gates are known for their durability, ease of installation, and user-friendly operation, making them popular for property access and security.

To make your gate safe, purchase a gate made from strong material such as wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metals. Ensure that the gate has strong joints and bars that are welded on rather than inserted loosely. If you’re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.
