"I recently had Honey cove remove several trees from my property. The service was prompt, professional, and very well executed. They showed up when they said they would, for both the removal and for the consultation beforehand. The removal was performed flawlessly and did not damage any surrounding structures. The stumps were completely ground and all debris was cleared away. Highly recommend."

"We purchased a coupon for tile and grout cleaning and had them clean our master bath. They showed up on time and were very professional. The cleaning didn't come out as well as I thought but the grout is old and the technician showed me where it was weak and really recommended that I have it re-grouted. He's right and we will use them in the future.

"Overall, I thought the person that came to my home to give an estimate of the patio we wanted to build was not very professional. She came up with a sketch for the patio which did not incorporate the design ideas that I wanted. She was willing to re-sketch the design 2 times to get it right, but then seemed to get annoyed that I asked questions about the materials that were being used, the options that were available...etc. Granted she may have been having a bad week, but I expected more. Ended up going with a different contractor and glad I did because the quote I got from them was $1000 less and I loved the job they did. 
Overall, I would give them a B-.

"This was an Angies Deal.  Initial call and schedule for review of work went fine.  Owner reviewed work to be done to make sure it could be done in the alloted time and we discussed date for work to be performed.  I was told I would receive confirmation from their office of the date.  As the date approached and I still did not receive any confirmation I contacted the office.  It took several tries before I was able to speak to anyone.  The date was confirmed.  The owner showed up again thinking this was the initial walk through.  He apologized and indicated he had an issue with his office staff.  To his credit he was able to get workers in from another site that day.  The workers put door knobs on backwards (locks on the wrong side of the door).  After this was pointed out they redid them which cut into the time alloted.  They had problems finding the studs in the wall for hanging the pictures.  After they put multiple holes in the wall for just one picture I provided my own "stud finder" tool.  The faucet that was tightened was once again loose in a very short period of time.

They put in a lot of crappy boards. They were the only ones that I found that replied that would put in the fence that I wanted. Most of it was very good, but, of course, on the far side of the yard I found lots of boards that were not up to snuff. Eight years ago they got the fence in. I wasn't there (when they did the work). I would use them again in the future only if I stood over them with a shotgun. They could have used better boards and given me a lighter gauge. I wasn't there for the most part and they were all Hispanic so I've got no idea how the workers were, but the contractor that was watching over them had no complaints.

"It went great, and I agreed to call the company back when I can afford to have some more work done by them. I had an Angie's List deal of $99 for 2 hours of service. I did not check on their regular price. They do all kinds of remodeling, windows, etc., -- everything but electrical and plumbing -- besides their new handyman services."

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.

Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:

  • Have you worked with my gate material in the past?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?

  • Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?

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

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.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
