"After paying our deposit for a fence install, we contacted the company over concerns that digsafe did not properly demarcate our underground electrical main that is in the vicinity of of the installation area (it was specifically mentioned in our contract that Reliable would handle). I dealt with a rude and confrontational customer service agent named Kelly Dineen, who told us that it wasn’t Reliable’s concern whether our utilities were affected in the install. Hopefully the Reliable install crew puts more pride in their work than Kelly does in hers, and hopefully we won’t encounter any issues where need customer support! Definitely would suggest looking elsewhere for your fence needs."

We are a full service property maintenance company. In addition we complete demos and complete remodels/builds as well.

"The work was top-notch, but their internal and customer-facing communication is weak. 90% of the job was as expected, but the last two items (shower doors) were installed without us approving the particular door. The owner will say they were approved, but that's not the case. One door we never saw pictures of at all, and for the other we got two cellphone pics of a computer screen saying "this is what we typically install." A month later that ultra-modern looking door was on the wall in my old farmhouse. Complaints on my part were met with threats and bullying until I paid the full balance. I finally decided it was worth missing out on the shower door to get rid of the guy. In the process of the job, I got emails from one person in the company about things that had already been decided by someone else, so it was obvious that the internal communication was weak as well. Glad I can be rid of this company. Too bad because the people they hired to do the actual work at the house were wonderful."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Electric gates have a manual override switch that detaches the motor from the opening mechanism. For most gates, this requires a key as a deterrent to thieves or trespassers forcing open your gate. Be aware that many automatic or electric gates are very heavy, so it may be difficult to close the gate if you are fine with manually opening it.

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.

Most exterior doors swing inward for better security. But a security door will swing outward. What makes it so secure are the one-way screws that go through the door, the door frame or house wall, and into the home. Make sure to align your door so it swings outward, with the door handle aligned with the existing door’s handle.

The average cost to install a gate is around $2,300, but you could pay between $200 and $7,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factors to consider are the gate type of gate you want installed and the gate material. Automatic gates leading to your driveway will usually be the most expensive options, given the size and weight of the gate, as well as the added cost of the electronics for control. Chain-link and vinyl gates will usually be the most affordable, while aluminum and metal gates fetch the highest prices.
