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."

Small construction company. Billing varies depending on the job.

"We hired Mr. Barnett to fix a steep driveway. He and his crew were excellent! They were very detail minded and even did a few 'extras' that they thought would help us out. The crew was knowledgeable and friendly. They explained everything as they did the work. They did all of this at a great price. I would HIGHLY recommend them!!"

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.

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.

While many gate hinges are often made of extremely durable materials, such as galvanized steel, they can wear out after many years. How quickly they wear out also depends on how much use they’ve endured. It’s also possible for the hinge screws to fall out, which weakens the hinge. Once a hinge wears out, it’s time for a replacement so your gate doesn’t start sagging.

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

Redwood and cedar work well for gates because they resist decay and severe weather conditions. Redwood is considered more elegant, though cedar is more affordable. Other options include oak and treated pine. Avoid softwoods like pine and spruce for outdoor projects, as they are susceptible to water, rot, and sun damage.
