"
We had our gutters cleaned and were told that one of our chimney caps was cracked and needed to be repaired.  Our gutter cleaners suggested a repair vendor who we called, they came out , looked up at the chimney and (without climbing up on the roof) gave us an estimate of $2200.00 to repair the ONE chimney.  We decided to get a second opinion and checked Angieslist .  We found Metropolitan Chimney Masonry Services, called on January 2nd.   and got  a return call from Oscar that same day.  They were out the next day (January 3rd), climbed up on the roof to investigate and provided us the estimate (Adrian) on January 4th.  We scheduled on the 5th and the work was started and completed on January 6th.

The crew showed up on time and the guys were very polite and professional.  They did a great job repairing both chimneys.  They cleaned up and left our roof, yard and driveway where they had supplies stacked very clean.   At the end of the day, our elderly neighbor came out to see what was going on and I asked if the crew would take a quick look at her chimney.  They founds some cracks and flashing that needed to be repaired.  They did that repair job for our neighbor for no charge - that was very nice of them. 

Great job, great price and we would definitely call again."

"OK when they got here there was an upcharge of $50 because I have three sides instead of 2, one of which is very narrow and partially brick. They should have this listed so there is no debate. Job was done quickly. ."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

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.

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.
