Q: How much should a wooden gate cost?

• <div><p>A DIY manual wooden gate costs $200 to $600 for a basic single-swing gate. If you want to hire a pro, a manual wood gate can cost $400 to $4,000. For automated wood gates, expect to pay $850 to $8,500.</p><p>Factors that affect price include the quality of materials, cost of labor, the height of the gate, and the type of gate you need.</p></div>

Q: How long does gate installation take?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the gate type and site conditions.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose a driveway gate?

• <div><p>When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/automatic-front-gate-options.htm">automatic gate</a> or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home&rsquo;s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.</p></div>

Q: Should a wooden gate swing in or out?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>Keep in mind that there may be local building codes that require your gate to swing inward.</p></div>

Q: Can I install my own gates?

• <div><p>Installing your own gate is possible, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Gates can weigh hundreds of pounds in some cases, and even <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-gates.htm">types of gates</a> 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&rsquo;t close without force, depending on your preferences. Mistakes made by DIYers can be quite costly, too, as the materials alone average around <b>$1,000</b>. As such, it&rsquo;s better to hire a professional gate installer.</p></div>

Solomon is wonderful, he gave me a reasonable price to fix a 18ft area of my fence. He repaired and created a double door gate which I had been dying for. The fence repair was everything I wanted and more. It could not have come out better. Excellent, quality workmanship. His work speaks...

Excellent, Samuel and his crew went way above what had been requested of them and did some repair work on areas that had given way to erosion, mowed the grass, picked up fallen limbs, blew off not only the area they worked on but all around a large driveway! Very Pleased!

I worked with Scott Angell and originally requested for a quote to replace my asphalt driveway but Scott adamantly recommended that I repair and resurface it instead. Scott was insistent that was all that was necessary and that it would last at least another 3-4 years after doing so. He...

Mr. Harbison called prior to coming to the house, as agreed. When he arrived, he got to work immediately. My driveway lights are located about 25 ft. above the driveway and, since I have vertigo problems, I cannot safely climb a ladder that tall. He changed the bulbs quickly. Since they were...
