"From filling out the online for to inquire, to the estimate, to the actual work being done was lightning fast. I was contacted the day after filling a form. They sent an estimator to my home quickly. They provided a detailed estimate for the fence as well as plans for me to look over and approve. The estimate for install after I approved their quote was 4-5 weeks out, which would have put us to June 22 for install. They contacted me about a week PRIOR to that date to see if they could install sooner! It was moved up by about 5 days and we could not be happier with it. The fence itself is cedar, was installed within a few hours. The installers were friendly. They explained what they were doing, how the latch in the gate worked, and made sure I had no other questions prior to leaving the jobsite. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone. From first contact through completion, I felt well taken care of. The work is quality, the people friendly, and service was excellent"

"Working with this contractor on our fence and deck project was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Not only was he a quick and hard worker, but his attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every task he undertook. He skillfully replaced an entire side of our fence, including both gates, ensuring that the new installations seamlessly matched the existing structure. Moreover, his repairs on our deck were thorough and thoughtful. By replacing rotten boards, securing loose boards, support beams, and stairs, and even painting the deck, he revitalized an area that had been in dire need of attention. What set this contractor apart was not just his craftsmanship but his professionalism and reliability. The entire scope of work was completed within the three-day timeframe he initially projected, showcasing his efficiency and ability to manage time effectively. He was not only timely but also fair and trustworthy, qualities that are paramount when inviting someone to work on your home. His willingness to refer us to a trusted colleague for interior work further demonstrated his commitment to meeting our needs beyond his immediate scope of expertise. The quality of work was exceptional across the board, leaving no doubt that we will be engaging his services again for a forthcoming large project. Based on our highly positive experience, I would unequivocally recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and diligent contractor."

"Great! The business owner is super communicative and really great at his brick playing craft. And plus a reasonable price for the work. He got the work done on time within the timeline he said he would. He even worked into the night with a headlamp to make sure my project was completed! I highly recommend this company."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

You can install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate anytime. However, pick a dry day if you apply stain or paint to the paneling. If you’re hiring a local fencing contractor, they often offer better rates in their low season outside the busy spring and summer months.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Fence gates sag because they have no support on the latch side of the gate to help hold them aloft. A gate wheel fixes that problem by providing support for that latch side. Remember that the ground must be level in front of the gate so the wheel can roll freely when you open and close it. If the terrain is uneven or slopes, a gate wheel won’t work.

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.

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.
