"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"

"We worked with Mason and his team at Sino-American to remove our existing chain link fence and broken iron gate and replace with a new wooden fence and custom built gate for our DC rowhouse. We coordinated with our next door neighbor who was getting the same work done and had worked with Mason before and they built both our fences and gates in teh same day. Mason was very professional and communicative throughout the entire process and produced top notch work that we are very happy with. Our project was unique and complicated given several obstacles including our existing ground level deck, our neighbor's property sitting a few feet higher than ours and a huge tree on the property line that posed some design challenges. Ultimately, Mason and his team came up with a great design that accomplished all of our objectives and looks great. We would recommend Sino-American to our friends and are already discussing future projects with them."

"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

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

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.

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

Costs depend on system type, labor rates, and additional features like smart integration or professional monitoring.
