"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

Costs depend on system type, labor rates, and additional features like smart integration or professional monitoring.

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.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

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.

Security doors are not limited to standard sizes, and you can customize them to fit your needs and entryway dimensions. That's one of the fantastic things about security doors—they can be tailored to match your home. Keep in mind that a custom-sized security door will likely cost more than a standard size.
