"Daniel was extraordinary. His diverse skills make him the "perfect" handyman capable of almost everything around the house. The overall quality of his work is excellent. He is timely coming when he says he will and calling if for any reason he is delayed. What's more he is a delightful person who will happily do whatever asked at very reasonable prices. I have several more projects for him including all of the needs of finishing a framed out basement, and I have absolute confidence in the excellence of his work."

"Let me most heartily make a totally unsolicited, uncompensated and extremely strong recommendation, namely that if you have ANY construction projects you need done, that you get a bid from Arising Construction & Remodeling, who have done an AMAZING job building our new deck at a very reasonable cost! Lee Saylor grew up in a construction family and has an outstanding ability to envision final products, adjust designs for budgets, and create stunning projects along with an awesome crew of craftsmen! He said what they'd do, how they'd do it, and when they'd do it...and that's just what they did! I'll not be using anyone else for any future home improvements!

"I contacted Rocky the week of June 3, 2103 and told him of tree to be removed and he came by on June 10th while I was gone and surveyed the tree and property.  I spoke with him on June 10 th and he gave me the price and I said ok, let's get it done.  He said he would be there within the next couple of days....didn't show or call.  I called him end of the week and he said he would be there 17th or 18th and would call me to confirm, when I didn't hear left him a message to let me know which day.  No response and no show.Called him again and left message expressing we wanted the tree removed and that we may consider other work as well.  He returned call on the 25th and said he would break away and come by that day and look at what else we may want and price and do it all same day.  He didn't show.We called again July 1 asking when he would get this taken care in a message.  He called right back and said he would want to look at other work to combine all in one day as he was going to be bringing a crew of 6, my response was to tell him we would need some dirt brought into the back yard and leveled out, he said well if that was all he would have to come by to give a price.  At that point having been told that story before and it not happening I said let's just stick with the original plan to remove the tree as agreed on June 10th for the price quoted.  I asked when would he would schedule that, he said July 3rd or 5th, I said OK and he said he would call July 2nd to confirm that  (as I had been told on previous occasions and no call  came )  Today again was a no show nor no phone call.
I would have to say I could not recommend to anyone.  Integrity is all important in running a business and keeping your word as to work date is the basis of success.  I would be completely flexible if a phone call when have been made to tell me something has prevented me from getting there a certain day.  Rocky doesn't operate that way.  There has been 4 no shows to date.  Guess he has too much business."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

Automatic gate openers last around 10 years, but this time span depends on several external factors, like the type of gate they're attached to and how well you’ve kept up with general maintenance. Despite lasting a decade, you should still expect to complete one or two repairs in that time, as some components will fail before others.

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.
