"Andy was referred to me by the sales agent who helped me to sell my home. To sell the house I needed a fan in the bathroom to be vented outside to the soffit properly, and some rafters inside the house and the garage needed to be sistered to strengthen the beams.
While Andy was difficult to get a hold of on several occasions, he did a great job when he was here. I personally felt the price was a bit high for the amount of time he was here, but I was ultimately satisfied that I got what I paid for. He also had to crawl around the attic towards the end of summer, which I didn't want to do, so the work was a bit more difficult.
If you can be patient, Andy is a good guy to work with on your home improvement projects.

I am branching off from a larger company restoring log homes. I am starting a new branch of log home restoration because I could see that the other log home company was just in the business for money. when I was on a job with the owner of the other company I work for my coworker did sloppy work and the owner of the company liked his work because he got it finished faster.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.

Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added sliding gate mechanisms, which can go out from frequent use.

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.

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.

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate.
