"If I could give them 10 stars, I would! I chose this company because of their Google reviews. Kevin Senior came out, measured, and was so professional. He described the jobs and worked with my logistical concerns of a raised existing garden/waterfall and pets on properties (3 behind and mine). I recieved 2 estimates: a 7ft and 8ft options. Once I approved, I recieved comparison photos of similar jobs like mine and a line drawing if my job scope. After my deposit, they arranged 311 to mark gas lines on my property. This past Monday, Jeremy and Jordan arrived to begin the job. Jeremy asked to walk the job with me to be clear with expectations (I liked that lots). He listened and he described the job plan. What a dynamic duo!!! They were so professional, worked very organized and as a team! The take down of my old fence was done neatly and they didn't have supplies scattered everywhere. Both very attention to detail oriented, the craftmenship definately reflects in their end product. Couldn't be happier. Also, they were commumicative and professional with my neighbors and collaborated with them (unloading supplies, etc) It is July! It's hot! They were soaking with sweat... but Jeremy and Jordan always had smiles, and a "yes mam" The old saying...You get what you pay for stands so true! Such quality products: my fence cap is a CEDAR 2x4!!!. And the walkthrough gate is a metal frame (no warping/sagging). I had my driveway gate replaced as well. Love the black! Can't say enough good. Rain caused some hiccoups, but my job was completed in 3 1/2 days. From Teresa in the office, Kevin in sales, and my install team of Jeremy and Jordan_ a stress free pleasant experience with outstanding end product that should last a very long time♡♡"

"I used them to screen in my patio and do my gutters four years ago, and they did a fantastic job! I needed some repairs done on the screen door on my patio due to my grandkids and dog, and Ken, the owner, came the next day to see what repairs would need to be done. As soon as the necessary parts came in, Jodie, a member of the team, came and fixed the door in under thirty minutes. He was super nice and very professional. Not only did he fix what we asked them to fix, but he also took the time to make sure that all the work they did four years ago was still in good quality! I would highly recommend the A1 Aluminum team to anyone who needs this type of service in the future!"

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Electric gates have a manual override switch that detaches the motor from the opening mechanism. For most gates, this requires a key as a deterrent to thieves or trespassers forcing open your gate. Be aware that many automatic or electric gates are very heavy, so it may be difficult to close the gate if you are fine with manually opening it.

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.

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on installing a security door.

However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.

If increased security is your bag, you may want to steer away from a simple wood gate. After all, it’s pretty easy to cut through wood. Instead, go for a metal gate with an advanced locking system. Even better? Install a high-tech automated barrier system similar to those found at commercial facilities. However, you’ll pay handsomely for the privilege.
