How long does it take to build a driveway gate?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

How do I hire a reliable gate installation company?

• <div><p>Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:</p><ul><li><p>Have you worked with my gate material in the past?</p></li><li><p>Do you have customer references I can call?</p></li><li><p>Are you fully insured?</p></li><li><p>Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to install a gate?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need a permit to install a gate or fence on your property. Before your local municipality can issue a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a>, you might also need a site plan or survey to identify property lines. Otherwise, you could infringe on your neighbor&rsquo;s property, leading to having to pay to take down and re-erect the fence. Permits for a gate and fence usually cost under <b>$100</b>. Luckily, your gate installation company will usually pull the permits for you and handle all of the red tape.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose a driveway gate?

• <div><p>When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/automatic-front-gate-options.htm">automatic gate</a> or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home&rsquo;s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.</p></div>

Q: Why does my gate keep sagging?

• <div><p>There are a few possible issues that are causing your gate to sage. The hinges may be bent, or the screws holding the hinges to the post could fail&mdash;causing the gate to sag from one side to the other. The gate itself may also have come out of square due to failing supports, causing it to sag. On the other hand, it&rsquo;s possible the gate isn&rsquo;t the issue at all. The post holding the gate aloft may lean inward, causing the gate to sag.</p></div>

Mike & his son were very professional and courteous. Mike listed and answered all of my questions. I felt very comfortable having them work on my home. They have an eye for detail and it shows in their work. I will definitely use them again.
