"Once again, AMS Home Remodeling, Frank, was able to clean up my mess.  After ordering a closet organizer unit online. I made the mistake of hiring another company to install the units - 3 total (2 reach in and 1 master).  This original company did not know what they were doing and caused me nothing but more problems (i.e. holes in walls, damaged pieces from closet unit that needed to be replaced, etc).  Frank was able to make time in his all ready busy schedule to come out to take a look at the mess.  He was able to get me into the schedule and complete the install and all repairs from previous contractors by the end of the week.  Frank and his crew (Bruno plus 1) did more than an outstanding job.  Final product is amazing.  I have used AMS Home Remodeling for a complete makeover in my home and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for an honest dependable contractor.  I absolutely LOVE these guys.
Frank - thank you!!!!

"Everything went great! Lindsay called promptly after I purchased a deal on here. Once the work was scheduled Joel came out to do the work. He was on time and showed me tons of issues with what needed to be repaired. He gave me detailed information on why it cracked and let me know that it would happen again if not done correctly. He gave me a quote for a new stone walkway and porch that was more than fair having known several people to have the same work done with other companies. I plan on taking them up on the work in the future for sure just coudln't swing it after the holidays. Both Lindsay and Joel provided everyhing I hoped for given the companies great reputation.

"I saw a couple negative reviews of Machiolis Construction and was compelled to offer a very different experience. Our experience with Machiolis has been outstanding in all ways. Pablo previously helped  resolve the mess left by a previous (horrid) contractor who completely botched our kitchen remodel. Every detail was perfect in that earlier job, so we elected to call Pablo again when our upstairs bathroom project announced its urgency by leaking profusely into the downstairs office, collapsing some of the plaster ceiling. 
As with the previous job, Pablo and crew got to know what we were looking for, established a fitting timetable and contract, and scheduled the work. Two things we truly appreciated about Machiolis Construction was that they worked our job EVERY day, not disappearing for long stretches as they hustled between five other job sites. Secondly, they cleaned up meticulously, and kept our house exceptionally clean. They treat your house as a HOME, not a 'job site', which makes it quite easy to live in, despite the unavoidable disruption that remodelling brings. 
As before, the crew was professional, sober, smart, and skilled in their trades. Pablo's team adapted to some devilish project surprises (for example, a previous owner had cut load-bearing joists to jigger-in the plumbing, and we needed to re-joist the entire bathroom floor). Change orders were no hassle, and executed professionally and quickly. The finished product is flawless, and we are delighted. 
As I mentioned in my opening comments, I believe some scheduling hiccups may have plagued Machiolis recently, and earned a couple of Angie's List 'dings'. That's regrettable for a firm as excellent as the one Pablo runs. All businesses go through growing pains, and I hope Machiolis Construction all the best for continued success. When we are ready for our basement finishing project, he'll be who we count on.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

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.

Features include automation, intercoms, keypads, and decorative elements. Custom options enhance security and style.

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.
