"GREAT!! We needed the back corner of our property fenced with 3 custom gates built as part of the project. We decided to change our request prior to installation, and Matt was very accommodating. We live on a lake and didn't want to block the view...while keeping our grandkids and dog safe. Matt listened to all our needs, sent his crew out and the job done was fantastic!! The crew was professional, listened to our questions, cleaned up well... Our dog is so happy, we are super happy and we would highly recommend Defence for all your fencing needs! Thanks Matt and crew!"

"I recently hired Active Home Savers to mow and maintain my lawn, and I am extremely satisfied with their services. The team was punctual, professional, and did an excellent job making my lawn look pristine. They paid great attention to detail, ensuring that every part of the lawn was evenly trimmed and well-maintained. The crew also cleaned up thoroughly after the job, leaving no grass clippings or debris behind. Communication was smooth from the start, and they were very responsive to any questions or special requests I had. The entire process was hassle-free, and the results were outstanding. I highly recommend Active Home Savers for anyone in need of reliable and high-quality lawn care services. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and the quality of their work truly stand out."

"These guys were great. Fred came out and gave me the quote. He was able to tell me exactly what was wrong and how he was going to fix it. I had other roofers that looked and couldn't tell where the leak was. His son and another man showed up to start the work. They removed my siding and shingles very carefully so it could all be reused after the repair. Then, Fred and the other guy showed up the following morning to complete the job. The picked up all the garbage and you could barely tell they were there.
I would definitely recommend Fred for any roofing work. I just may need him again when I buy my next house.

"The project went really well, and I couldn't be happier. Just as I requested, the new railing looks exactly like the old railing. There were some issues with installing it into the existing concrete steps, and Rick Gleason found a solution that really worked well. The new railing is sturdy and looks great."

"Big Bang were polite, prompt and very informative with their quote, going above and beyond to give a variety of options when we changed our minds about some of the initial specifications. In the end we had to use a specific contractor to be covered by our Home Warranty, otherwise we would have used them."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

You can install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate anytime. However, pick a dry day if you apply stain or paint to the paneling. If you’re hiring a local fencing contractor, they often offer better rates in their low season outside the busy spring and summer months.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

If you only use your gate as a pedestrian, walking through without a vehicle, you’re fine to stick with a single fence gate. If your fence opening needs to accommodate vehicles of any kind, from cars to trucks to 4-wheelers, then a double fence gate will suit the space much better and give you more freedom. 

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.

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.
