"Mr. Daniels was the consummate professional. He responded to my first call within 10 minutes of posting the project. He had me a quote by the end of the day and was ready to start the job the next. His crew was experienced and their work was exceptional. I’ve been working with professional contractors for the past 35 years and can honestly say that made every part of the job easy. Something that you don’t see very much of these days is a contractor who delivers all they promise and goes above and beyond to make sure the customer is satisfied. I highly recommend him."

"On the Go's crews did a good job. Not everything was perfect from start to finish, but the mark of someone good to work with is that if something isn't how you want it, you talk about with them, they listen, and then they make it right. I am very happy with the end result. The best advice I can give someone considering this company is to have a little patience and don't expect that everything is always going to go according to schedule... the weather and other factors outside your contractor's control often will set things back. The important thing, in my opinion is to end up with a finished product that matches your intent and lasts. This review is being written a couple weeks after the work was completed, so I can't speak to the longevity of the work, but I got everything that I was looking for and don't see any reason that it won't last. One of the delays in my job was due to weather, and maybe some contractors would have gone ahead with work even if conditions were not ideal, but Shaun explained why due to rain the previous day we needed to wait to perform the pour, and I was fine with the delay... I don't doubt that it was the right choice. I also contacted 6 concrete contractors over a 1 year period (3 never returned my calls / texts, and one was almost twice as much) and this company was the best deal."

"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!

Driveway Gates FAQs, answered by experts

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.

While entryways are seldom added to a house to increase the sale price, they are commonly constructed to increase the livability and enjoyment of a home. So, while they aren’t necessary, they do make for a more comfortable and luxurious-feeling home. Entryways are most valuable in areas of extreme heat, cold, or rain, as the space between the living area and the outdoors helps keep the outdoors outside. Plus, snow, wet boots, and mud are all corralled into one space that’s easy to clean.

Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.

A DIY manual wooden gate costs $200 to $600 for a basic single-swing gate. If you want to hire a pro, a manual wood gate can cost $400 to $4,000. For automated wood gates, expect to pay $850 to $8,500.

Factors that affect price include the quality of materials, cost of labor, the height of the gate, and the type of gate you need.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.
