"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.

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate 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’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.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

Installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the gate type and site conditions.

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.

When making this decision, three essential factors come into play. For budget-conscious individuals, swing gates are the more economical choice. Despite the possibility of both gate types having similar dimensions, many types of sliding gates demand a more intricate opening mechanism and additional components, requiring electrical work for motors and signaling remotes, resulting in higher installation costs.
