"Ronnie Lacombe came to my house, surveyed the repair and explained what had to be done. He picked up the chair that day. After repairing the chair he offered to have it powder coated from a third party but thought their price was too high. He had it primed and painted for a fair price and when the color turned out wrong had it repainted for no additional charge. He delivered the newly painted and repaired chair. His repair was well done. I supervised Navy welders aboard ship and know something about how it should be done, His repair was stronger than the original construction."

"Overall a really good Job. I had a roof leak in my kitchen. I called Gus Hurst Construction. Gus came right, found the leak, gave me a good quote and repaired the roof . With out Gus being diligent and fair, more damage could have been done to my kitchen. I would definitely hire him again."

"Darin came out quickly and gave me an estimate for an aluminum gate. I had asked to replace a wooden one. He showed me the benefits of the aluminum. I had concerns about my frenchie fitting in between the slats. He even measured her to make the get customer size so she could not fit. He did a geat job and a quick job. My gate looks great! I am very happy. He even helped me with the financing!"

"They were efficient and quick.  They did the job, cleaned and did not leave a mess.  We felt that it was a fair price.  The gentleman came in.  It was not a major job but there some things I'd like done and I think I will call them back.  The door was fixed and everything was fine."

Gate Repair FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.

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.

Automatic gate openers last around 10 years, but this time span depends on several external factors, like the type of gate they're attached to and how well you’ve kept up with general maintenance. Despite lasting a decade, you should still expect to complete one or two repairs in that time, as some components will fail before others.

You don’t need a permit for an automatic gate in most cities because it isn’t a structural change to your home, but you need to check. A pro can help you with this and since we don’t recommend installing an automatic gate yourself, you should already be in contact with one, making this a frictionless question. Outside of permit requirements, you need to consider your homeowners association (HOA), as some are against gated homes.
