When is replacing a wrought iron gate a better option than covering it for privacy purposes?

• <div><p>Is your wrought iron gate really rusty or in need of major repair work? Replacing it with a gate with built-in privacy screening may be easier and, in some cases, more economical. Professional <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-fence.htm">fence or gate repair costs</a> average $100 to $400, and you may be able to get a new gate for the same price.</p></div>

Q: How much should a wooden gate cost?

• <div><p>A DIY manual wooden gate costs $200 to $600 for a basic single-swing gate. If you want to hire a pro, a manual wood gate can cost $400 to $4,000. For automated wood gates, expect to pay $850 to $8,500.</p><p>Factors that affect price include the quality of materials, cost of labor, the height of the gate, and the type of gate you need.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to install a gate on my property?

• <div><p>Installing a gate on an existing fence or alongside a new fence is usually worthwhile, even though it can be expensive. Side gates give you easier access to your rear yard, making the space more usable. More importantly, they can help keep your children and pets safe in your yard without compromising accessibility. Security gates are particularly worthwhile, as they have the added bonus of protecting your home. In case that&rsquo;s not enough upside, installing a fence with gates usually boosts your curb appeal and property value.</p></div>

Q: What are other home security systems I should consider installing?

• <div><p>In addition to a doorbell camera, you can upgrade your home&rsquo;s security with several different features. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/backyard-security.htm">Backyard security</a>, for instance, may include a mix of security cameras, lighting, and fencing. Additional security cameras around your property, as well as a total smart security system with an alarm connected to your smartphone, are also advisable. This could well be worth the cost for the peace of mind alone, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-security-system-affect-home-insurance.htm">home security systems <i>also</i> lower home insurance costs</a>. </p></div>

Q: Can electric gates be opened manually?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Hired Rob to cut in a new portion of the driveway and along the pole barn filled with crushed asphalt. He prompt, quick and did an amazing job. He deserves a 10 starâ ¦. He laid crushed asphalt a year prior on the entire driveway and did an amazing job! Thank you!

Very good. All posts were cemented in. The fence is straight and square. All of the gates work good. They put it in just before the snow started to fly. I was a little worried about the doing the work at that time of year, but they got it done and it's just as good a year and a half later...
