"The work that was done at our house was more than exceptional. Charles knew the metal needed and the type of gate that we were looking to get installed. He was very easy to work with and made us feel that us as his customers were very much a priority. I will only recommend Charles Ornamental to others seeking welding work. Thank you Charles and your team in keeping your appointments and completing the work we needed for security and peace of mind!!"

"All he did was come in and look at it and said, ?you have cheap doors!? ?You need better doors and you need a better system for closing!? It was useless basically! He oiled the track at the top, because it was noisy. We expected that maybe there would be the possibility to changing some parts.

We had no idea that because we had the builders grade garage doors & apparently the least expensive tracking. That nothing that he could have done would have made any difference, except we could have paid $1,200 or more to get a whole new system. Well, that wasn?t what we paid for really. He did say he would oil a couple of parts and maybe it will help. It didn?t because everything is not very good.  
He was responsive. I think he was on time. He was professional. I understand what the issue is, we would have to get more estimates."

"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."

"The cleaners did a good job...however, they broke the little button on one shade in the sun room that I hadn't noticed. I wasn't unhappy with the service but one of the workmen, broke a bottom stair. When I questioned Santos, he said one of the men hit the stair with his bucket and to call Mel and he'd have it fixed. I called the next day and was told to send them a picture which I did. Mel called me the next day and said I was lucky his man didn't hurt himself and something about a 5 inch over stair as opposed to a 3 in over hang. Told him the stairs had been in place for 10 years and I'd never had a problem and how did he know about any over hang...which by the way was not true. He kept arguing with me and said he wouldn't pay to fix the stair. Told him I was going to complain to Angie and he said go ahead....His workman admitted he broke the stair and I don't think it would have cost a lot to repair it and under his terms and conditions, it states that Mel is responsible for damages caused by our employees if notified within 2 days..The work was good but Mel was horrible. I bought a lot of things from Angie's list and this is the first and I hope last complaint. I understand that if I'm not completely happy, Angie will make it right. I'll be waiting,"

Gate Repair 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.

When making this decision, three essential factors come into play. For budget-conscious individuals, swing gates are the more economical choice. Despite the possibility of both gate types having similar dimensions, many types of sliding gates demand a more intricate opening mechanism and additional components, requiring electrical work for motors and signaling remotes, resulting in higher installation costs.

For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don’t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.

Automatic gate openers last around 10 years, but this time span depends on several external factors, like the type of gate they're attached to and how well you’ve kept up with general maintenance. Despite lasting a decade, you should still expect to complete one or two repairs in that time, as some components will fail before others.

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.
