"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"

"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."

"We were quite happy with their timing. They did everything they said they were going to do. Everything worked well. We noticed that the concrete driveway that they did was starting to have a few problems later on with something called spalling where little bits of the surface was chipping away. They called their cement supplier. They basically told us that we have to deal with the cement supplier if we wanted to do anything about it. That was my only negative thing. Otherwise, they have been totally positive. They were very responsive. When they did our chimney, they even went out of their way to mount a new television antenna up there for me. I thought that was nice of them. They mounted the mast and all that stuff, and didn’t charge us extra for it. They did it as a favor. We were just fine with all the pricing for everything they have done compared to anybody else we looked at. I have a little bit of a question about the driveway because of the bit of a problem with the spalling on it. I found out about spalling later from an expert who is a friend of ours, who did it for the city of Baltimore. He said that there were treatments they might have been able to use that they as a city use. I am not sure if the contractor was even aware of the technical issue of that problem."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.

While entryways are seldom added to a house to increase the sale price, they are commonly constructed to increase the livability and enjoyment of a home. So, while they aren’t necessary, they do make for a more comfortable and luxurious-feeling home. Entryways are most valuable in areas of extreme heat, cold, or rain, as the space between the living area and the outdoors helps keep the outdoors outside. Plus, snow, wet boots, and mud are all corralled into one space that’s easy to clean.

A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or steel door to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door. You can also buy specialized locks separately for $200 to $600. If you decide to hire a pro to install your new security door, you’ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor costs.

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.

Each has its use, depending on the scenario. Security doors are primarily intended to keep people out of the home, while storm doors are used to protect the home from extreme weather. Both tend to be made from heavy-duty metal and may include glass panels to allow light to enter the home. Storm doors can feature mesh screens, just like screen doors, to allow for increased ventilation and to keep out pests. Security doors rarely, if ever, have mesh screens.
