"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."

"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!"

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.

Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.

For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don’t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.

Yes, professionals offer motorized or remote-controlled shutters for convenience and security.
