"Upon accepting the assignment, Eric showed us choices for our shingles and even gave us locations in the area where that particular type and color shingle had been used. His team showed up exactly as promised, did what they were supposed to do AND MORE, cleaned up beautifully and left in a timely manner. Even though there was MUCH MORE repair work on the roof underlayment than expected, the quoted price remained the same. In an industry where "war stories" abound about unscrupulous operators, It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Mr. Newsome and Sunrise Roofing."

"Well, day 1 the crew did not get to job site until 3pm.  Worked for a couple of hours and discovered that they were short 4 posts.  Came back on day 2 and put in the rest of the posts and started putting up the boards.  Started raining (light rain) and after a couple of hours they said that they would have to come back the next day because of the rain.  Came back on day 3 and discovered that one of the double gates was short in size. They called the supply house to have another gate made. They did not come on day 4 because apparently the supply house could not get the gate made. Did not hear from anyone on day 4 until I called the owner to ask if they were coming.  That's when I was told that there was a problem with the gate getting made.  Did not get the gate made until day 5 when the owner got back to town and apparently had to make it himself.   The weld on the double gates is poor and they cold galvanize sprayed some of the welds but not all of them.  I will have to do that myself.  They set up on the back porch to do drilling and cutting and left metal shavings on the porch and cigarette butts throughout the yard. Did not recover post holes to cover  the concrete with dirt that was dug out.  They also left a bag of concrete mix here for me to dispose of.  This two day job took five days which caused me to have to postpone things that I had to do so that I could be here.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

While many gate hinges are often made of extremely durable materials, such as galvanized steel, they can wear out after many years. How quickly they wear out also depends on how much use they’ve endured. It’s also possible for the hinge screws to fall out, which weakens the hinge. Once a hinge wears out, it’s time for a replacement so your gate doesn’t start sagging.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.
