"I only use James when I need some work done to my house. He responds fast, gets the work done quicker than just about anyone else I've ever used and seems very concerned with leaving his customers happy."
"I'd like to start by saying that the finished product looks pretty good but the process to get there was a chore. The major problems were: 1. Just before we signed the contract, the owner of Contour Construction had verbally promised that steps would be taken to protect our home during demolition/construction; specifically plastic put up to minimize dust migrating to other rooms and existing hardwood floors would be protected from damage. Neither of those were done. Consequently, our entire house was full of dust and the existing hardwood floors were severly damaged. As of today there has been no contact from the owner to resolve the issue of the damaged floors. He just left them as is. 2. Another unfulfilled promise was that someone would be on the site to supervise the individual workers. That did not happen either. The owner was good about letting us know when someone was coming to the house but they would arrive alone and unsupervised. Many times the work was done well. However, there were instances where the work had to be redone. This could have been avoided if there was someone there to oversee the quality of the work. Plus, since the owner was rarely on-site during the renovation he had to rely upon the word of his worker(s) who, on a couple of occasions had deliberately misinformed him avoid admitting mistakes! 3. The contracted time period was listed as 3-4 weeks, starting July 1. The last worker left the second week of September; that's 10 weeks! Much of that was the result of poor planning and work having to be redone. In summary the owner of this company probably considered me overly demanding but I wasn't about to ignore shodding workmanship just to avoid "making waves". My philosphy was what would a potential buyer see when s/he looked at the bathroom. With oversight the work would have been done right the first time and this project could have been completed within the contracted time frame. Our theory is that Contour Construction had taken on more work that they could handle at the time and that our project was low on their priortiy list. Again, I believe that the problems we encountered could have been avoided by first, the owner fulfilling the promises he made and second the work had been supervised by someone who had a committment to quality. These were our experiences with Contour Construction. Perhaps someone else would have better luck with them. My suggestion would be get every detail no matter how trivial in writing with no verbal promises as well as being assertive and stopping work immediately if a provision of the contract was not being followed especially workers that are not being supervised.

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.
Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on installing a security door.
However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.
Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.
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.
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.
