"My neighbor needed fence work done and contracted with Scot at Absolute Fence. Without notice to her as to when the work would be done they came while she was out of town and took down a portion of that fence. I live on the other side of that fence I came home to find a huge gap in the fence. A section that had not yet fallen down was propped up from my side of the fence with boards from the broken fence ( You can only put them up from my yard...seems like trespassing to me) I have an aggressive 90 pound dog that happened to stay inside the house and a three month old puppy that I had just begun housebreaking, I talked to the polite workers Justin and Derrick asking why no one had rung my doorbell to tell me before the fence came down. I also told them that we were all lucky that the large dog had not come up from the basement where she sleeps and seen them. After two days of having to take my dogs for walks and cleaning up puppy's messes on my carpets because she couldn't go outside using our dog door, the workers came back. I asked to them to tell their boss to call me. Scot called me and when I expressed my concern that he had taken down a common fence and set up a dangerous situation and caused me a great deal inconvenience his response "First Time I ever had a problem with a neighbor." When Scot was asked if he felt any duty to give me notice. "No, your neighbor should have done that" When asked why he didn't put up temporary fencing " We don't do that" When asked what would happen if a child wandered out of my yard "Its your job the watch your kids" When asked what happened if the dog had attacked someone " You should have posted warnings" My summary is that he handled this very unprofessionally."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

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.

Installing your own gate is possible, but we don’t recommend it. Gates can weigh hundreds of pounds in some cases, and even types of gates made from the lightest materials are heavy, bulky, and difficult to maneuver into place. Positioning your gate perfectly is also crucial to make sure it swings smoothly and either closes automatically or doesn’t close without force, depending on your preferences. Mistakes made by DIYers can be quite costly, too, as the materials alone average around $1,000. As such, it’s better to hire a professional gate installer.

Driveway gates are expensive to install, but they are usually a worthwhile investment. Not only does this exterior feature improve your curb appeal and, by extension, your property value, but they also help keep your home secure. Driveway can keep out unwanted guests and provide additional privacy for you and your household. Plus, they can serve as a means of keeping children and pets in your yard, depending on the type of fence.
