"This was the largest home improvement project we've undergone so we were initially cautious when hiring a contractor. However, the organized and structured approach to the project helped put us to ease. Mason, the owner of Sino-American contractors, is very knowledgeable of local building codes and best practices. Communication is one of his strengths and collectively he spent several hours discussing the details of the project including potential risks and pitfalls. Mason has the same crew that he uses on all projects and the quality of the work and attention to detail was evident. Mason would visit the site frequently to oversee work and ensure everything was on schedule and completed to our satisfaction. He would text or call frequently to provide an update of the work or to notify us whenever workers would be on site. My wife gave birth to our son during construction and Mason did his best to have his crew work around our unpredictable schedule. This included working late or night or on weekends if needed. Mason's quote was competitive with other ones we received. With other home improvement projects we've always done fixed contract so his approach of individually pricing out each task took some getting used to. However, he was always upfront about additional costs that might arise due to new findings during construction or required by building inspectors. This just made it a little more challenging to allocate a fixed budget for the entire project. Mason and his crew also had some good suggestions that we didn't consider including adding an exterior flood light in the driveway and running new cable lines through the walls to minimize drilling though the interior brick walls. He supplied finished hardwood floor that matched our current floor and provided quotes for the doors and windows even though we decided to get these from another supplier. Overall we were very satisfied with the entire process and would recommend Sino-American Contracting for anyone considering a renovation/remodel."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Security doors are not limited to standard sizes, and you can customize them to fit your needs and entryway dimensions. That's one of the fantastic things about security doors—they can be tailored to match your home. Keep in mind that a custom-sized security door will likely cost more than a standard size. 

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.

Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.
