"After having 4 different companies come to my home, and explaining what I wanted done, I got tire of listening to what they wanted or where willing to do instead of what I needed and wanted done. I decided to call one more company and I am glad I did. Mr, Victor came within 2 days, took measurements , and most importantly, listened to me, and he let me talk while he was taking mental notes of every single detail. He explained his process, gave me a fair and transparent price, no BS like the others that wanted to charge extra if they found this, or that. I like the fact that he did not give me excuses for anything, this told me that he is a real professional and knows what he is doing, no job is too big for him, so I hired him. This was the best thing I have done in the last 5 years. In a matter of days, Mr. Victor returned with his crew, some of the nicest most respectful of your property people, and completed the work. My fence and gates are the most beautiful in my neighborhood."

He provided us with a quote and a date to perform the service. He and his crew arrived promptly, completed the work in a professional and timely manner and did an outstanding job. He also had his crew power wash the shed (which is quite large) for no extra charge!

We have contracted with Rick to perform the mowing/trimming service bi-weekly and he has always shown up promptly and completed the work - our yard looks great!

We are having Rick provide us with quotes for a sidewalk and then we are going to move him to the inside of the house to quote us on some interior work that needs to be completed.

I have the utmost confidence in recommending Rick The Handyman Holdridge for any and all of your exterior/interior jobs! I give him a 5 Star Rating!

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.

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.

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.

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.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.
