"This company was fabulous. Mike was extremely professional and responsive to our questions, etc. the crew worked very hard and was so polite. We put up a 6 foot fence around our entire back yard. There were tall cypress trees on either side of the property that needed to be trimmed to make room for the fence. They did all that. The debris was removed and the fence on completion is stunning. It is a 6 ft cedar with single arched gate on one side and double gate on the other. It is a beautiful addition to our property."

"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.

"We hired Sino-American General Contracting to build a porch for us in 2018. This was the fourth project we hired Mason to design and execute. As has been the case with all of his work, the results were outstanding. The deck is well constructed and beautiful. This is one of the best investments we have ever made. It has extended the living space in our home, allowing us to entertain outside 8-9 months of the year. During the pandemic, we have used the porch every day. Mason, working with an architect, conceived and executed the space with precision. He suggested details along the way that stayed within our budget, but ensured that the final product was exquisite. And, when you work with Mason you never have to worry about projects not being designed to code. He is exacting in his work. As soon as we can, we will hire him again to update an aging bathroom. He has become our go-to contractor for everything."

"Purchased a deal for power washing and sealing deck. Workers were punctual and professional. They were unable to perform the work due to my error (existing finishing on deck prevented sealing) but I had no issue receiving a full refund."

"They responded quickly and fixed the pipe. The work was fine but a little expensive. My only reservation was price, but it has been a while, so I don't feel I can answer other questions about the company with a lot of confidence."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.

Even if you have extensive experience working with electronics or gates, we recommend leaving this repair to a local gate repair professional. Small tasks, such as battery replacement or debris removal, can be DIY projects, but more involved repairs require a pro’s skills and knowledge. Whenever wiring is involved, it’s easy to cause serious damage to your gate’s system, which can lead to bigger, more costly problems.

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.

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.
