"
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

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

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

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.

If you only use your gate as a pedestrian, walking through without a vehicle, you’re fine to stick with a single fence gate. If your fence opening needs to accommodate vehicles of any kind, from cars to trucks to 4-wheelers, then a double fence gate will suit the space much better and give you more freedom. 

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.
