"My wife and i hired them to fix our iron fence, when looking up we had no clue where to start. A friend of ours recommended Authentic welding. They showed up on time for our appointment and provided details of what needed to be done and how long it would take. Job was completed to our satifaction. Would definitely hire again if i have more projects."

"When we bought our house, the gate on the fence was not usable. It would drag through the mud and sag. Several spots were damaged/had holes too. Not only did they fix the gate, they improved the quality of the entire structure and added extra supports. Now our fence is BEAUTIFUL and I no longer have to worry about the safety of our dogs, chickens, and babies when they are in the yard. They were easy to work with, flexible - working around my schedule, and so affordable! I have referred them to several coworkers and will continue to recommend them to anyone who has fencing needs."

"I had been having problems with both gate doors that were installed at my house since moving in. I called Edgar to take a look at them and he was able to figure out the issue immediately. He repaired both with such ease. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to install or repair a fence. He is fantastic!"

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Installing a gate on your property is often a worthwhile investment, despite the initial expense. Gates enhance your home's curb appeal and can increase its property value, making them more attractive to potential homebuyers. They provide significant security benefits by keeping out unwanted guests and increasing privacy for your household. Additionally, a gate can help keep children and pets safely contained in your yard.

For driveway gates, automatic versions are particularly convenient and tend to add more value than manual ones. The choice of gate material also plays a role in both aesthetic appeal and security. Beyond driveways, side gates can improve accessibility to your rear yard, making the outdoor space more usable. Overall, whether for security, safety, or aesthetics, installing a gate is a valuable addition to a property.

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.

You don’t need a permit for an automatic gate in most cities because it isn’t a structural change to your home, but you need to check. A pro can help you with this and since we don’t recommend installing an automatic gate yourself, you should already be in contact with one, making this a frictionless question. Outside of permit requirements, you need to consider your homeowners association (HOA), as some are against gated homes.

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.

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.
