I can do most small projects in and outside a home. I have been working in the construction field since I was a small child. My dad was a general contractor and I learned my love for working with my hands and skills from him.

"Kaleb and Leah are dishonest and unprofessional. Paid them $7,000 in July 2021 as a 50% deposit “for materials”. They promised to begin the job in August 2021, and to complete it within a week after that. Once they had my money they disappeared and it took months of calls and e-mails and text messages to get them to actually show up in late October of 2021. Two guys showed up and started digging post holes by hand. Then they disappeared again for a month. As of March 2022 the job is still not even half done and looks terrible. The neighbors are complaining about it. This company is a scam, two of their employees told me that they have taken deposits on multiple jobs they have never completed. I have had to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit since they have not made any attempt to complete the job or resolve this situation in any other way. Do not hire this company."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

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?

It might be possible to install your own manual driveway gate rather than an automatic one, but we don’t recommend it. Driveway gates are large, heavy, and bulky, and getting them to your house and maneuvering them for installation can be dangerous. It’s also challenging to install the gate and balance it perfectly so that it functions as expected, and wiring any automation mechanisms for your gate is also dangerous and requires help from an electrician. We recommend leaving the work to a professional driveway gate installer.

Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or automatic gate openers. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.

Ideally, your gate would swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it's generally best for the gate to swing inward. There are exceptions, however. For example, if your property is on a slope, your gate may not be able to swing in.

Keep in mind that there may be local building codes that require your gate to swing inward.
