"Overall the job was done as requested.  The work crew showed up promptly, work efficiently and generally did what we asked.  I did, however, ask to have a gate installed on the other side of my deck to prevent our puppy from escaping there and they forgot about this request.  It took them about a week and a half, if I recall, to provide this for us which made the fenced in yard useless without a child gate.  They offered to pressure wash and stain the fence for an additional cost which we did not do.
Since that time, the fence has weathered just fine and appears to be solid and installed level.  Because of some settling the double door gate has shifted a little and does not close very well.  The black hardware has not weathered well, faded quite a bit and will require another paint job.  The small gate that was installed on the deck has been the most problematic, but that is partly our fault.  We asked them to build this as a temporary fix until we could come up with a more permanent solution (which we have not done yet.)  This small gate has never closed properly and the hardware keeps coming off.  
Despite these minor problems I felt they did a pretty good job and asked them to come out recently to give us another quote on a major landscaping project.  Jared showed up yesterday to discuss this with me.  He was professional and had some helpful feedback about the project.  He will be emailing me a quote soon.

"Richard and his team did a great job. During the quote stage, Richard took the time to talk me through how they would install the fence and the things that would make it a quality fence that would stand the test of time. One of those things was having wood from a tree with a lot of rings, instead of a lot of pulp. I appreciated this insight and can see their attention to detail based on the wood they selected for my fence. They did a great job and everything is very level and solid. Everything was custom built on site, including the gate. We are very happy with the quality of the fence as well as the customer service and would definitely use them again."

"The company did a great job cleaning the chimney and inspecting everything.  Very professional, but the repairs sounded very pricey so we got other estimates and had it done for less.  I would use them again to clean my chimney.

"Mason and his team are great. This is the fourth project he has done for our house over the past 10 years and every time we are very impressed with the outcome. This project was a complete master bath gut and remodel including completely changing the footprint and expanding the size of the bathroom. There were unexpected challenges along the way regarding the existing structure and framing but Mason and his guys came up with solutions for everything and completed the project according to our vision. The project came out great and we have a wonderful new bathroom and large walk in master closet. I will hire again for any other projects that come up in the future"

"Great.  Good job, responsive, priced appropriately.  They repaired all drywall that they had to cut holes in and cleaned up after themselves.  Every time I call them for something I get the same consistently good service."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you can’t use a garage door opener as a gate opener. Automatic garage door openers and automatic gate openers serve similar functions and may even operate similarly via remote control; however, they aren’t interchangeable. Garage door openers aren’t intended for outdoor use and can’t withstand exposure to the elements.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

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