We are a licensed and insured residential and commercial fencing company. We provide a full service fencing experience from small residential repairs to $100K+ commercial projects.

"It went badly. We ordered the fencing around September and the fencing didn't show up until December. There are was no communication from them unless I initiated it. Instead of being straight with us and saying it would take months, they took our down payment and siad nothing. When they did show up, they would leave early in the afternoon. The work was not finished until February. the cold weather prevented them from backfilling the post holes and frozen clumps of sol were left all over the lawn that I could not move until Spring. When they told me the job was completed, There was debris all over the yard in addition to the clumps of frozen soil. They threatened to sue me when I did not pay them within two weeks of finishing the job (even though it was clearly not done!). then a portion of the fence blew over in March due to wind, when the ground thawed (because the holes were not fully backfilled). Several of the other holes were loose and could be moved back and forth until I filled them with the soil. I reported them to the to The Attorney general's office. They told me that the fence was guaranteed for life. when a cracked showed up at the bottom of one of the posts, I contacted them to find out how I could replace the post, they never responded. DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE. They are untrustworthy, dishonest, and their work is sloppy."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

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.

Depending on your needs and wants, investing in a security door can be well worth the cost. Now that you know the pros and cons, you can decide if it’s a purchase that makes sense for your family. If you’re ready to have one installed in your home, look into security door installers in your area.

Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:

  • Have you worked with my gate material in the past?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?

  • Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?
