"We bought an Angie's List package for a garage door tune up. The person who came recommended we change the spring as it was too weak for the door's weight. After we made the change, the door is MUCH quieter to operate and water does not seep in the garage under the door as it used to. We are very satisfied with the services that were performed"

"lOscar and his team were extraordinarily good at what they do.  I HIGHLY recommend him and his company for any work you need done at your home.  We used them in this instance for the chimney repair, but they also do patio work, repave driveways, walkways, among many other things, and we will 100% be using them for any of our future needs in those areas. 
While the price was perhaps a little bit higher than some of the other quotes we received, their professionalism and work ethic more than made up the difference.
We have 2 chimneys at our home.  We have lived there for almost 10 years now.  We had to replace the upper liner when we first moved in, as well as repair some of the brickwork.  I really wish we would have known about Metropolitan Chimney then.  We used a different company, Ashmasters, and their work was subpar. 
The overall job was about 1 1/2 days in total.  Delayed a bit by mother nature.  The team was prompt on their arrival; completed a very dirty project in a very clean manner (i.e. no real dust, etc...) - the replaced bricks and mortar were exact matches. 
Can not speak highly enough about Oscar and the rest of Metropolitan Chimney.  The most honest, hardworking guys I have come across.  Again, would recommend them 10 times out of 10.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.

Installing a gate on your property is often a worthwhile investment, despite the initial expense. Gates enhance your home's curb appeal and can increase its property value, making them more attractive to potential homebuyers. They provide significant security benefits by keeping out unwanted guests and increasing privacy for your household. Additionally, a gate can help keep children and pets safely contained in your yard.

For driveway gates, automatic versions are particularly convenient and tend to add more value than manual ones. The choice of gate material also plays a role in both aesthetic appeal and security. Beyond driveways, side gates can improve accessibility to your rear yard, making the outdoor space more usable. Overall, whether for security, safety, or aesthetics, installing a gate is a valuable addition to a property.

Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.

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.

To make your gate safe, purchase a gate made from strong material such as wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metals. Ensure that the gate has strong joints and bars that are welded on rather than inserted loosely. If you’re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.
