"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

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.

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

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.

Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.

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.
