"This company was great. The customer service with Mr Darren what's the best I have ever encountered. He gave me every detail on what he was going to do. His prices are very very reasonable. I thought I would have to pay more but when he told me the price I was totally shocked. I had my gate repaired, he took it with him, and was back the very next day to put it back on. It looks like a brand new fence just like I had just purchased it. I want to give a shout out to Mr Darren for his kindness and expertise. I have told my family, friends, and coworkers about the company and Mr Darren. I hope you choose them to do work at your home."

"Eric was knowledgeable and provided color samples of Trex deck, steps, and railings. Promised a two week job in March and proposal for $34K in 30% increments. Paid 30% for under-deck support enhancement and drainage. No contact for months and lots of excuses about material availability and cost. Some material was delivered in September after nagging, and 40 boards were installed in two days. Paid another 30% and they never came back, leaving a mess and another 40 boards by house uninstalled. Seven months now."

Driveway Gates questions, 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.

Whether you can attach a wood extension to a vinyl gate depends on the gate's construction. Some vinyl gates are sturdy enough to allow wood or vinyl boards to be attached. Many, however, have hollow frames that may not hold screws or heavy extensions securely. For these, consider alternative extension options such as a rubber flap or chicken wire.

Installing your own gate is possible, but we don’t recommend it. Gates can weigh hundreds of pounds in some cases, and even types of gates made from the lightest materials are heavy, bulky, and difficult to maneuver into place. Positioning your gate perfectly is also crucial to make sure it swings smoothly and either closes automatically or doesn’t close without force, depending on your preferences. Mistakes made by DIYers can be quite costly, too, as the materials alone average around $1,000. As such, it’s better to hire a professional gate installer.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a gate or fence on your property. Before your local municipality can issue a building permit, you might also need a site plan or survey to identify property lines. Otherwise, you could infringe on your neighbor’s property, leading to having to pay to take down and re-erect the fence. Permits for a gate and fence usually cost under $100. Luckily, your gate installation company will usually pull the permits for you and handle all of the red tape.

To stop trash from blowing under your gate, you can install anti-litter netting. This solution prevents most large debris from being blown inside of a controlled area and is often used in construction sites. Many types of netting are not designed for permanent use, so you may need to search for a style that matches your gate color.
