"We had quite a bit of repair done to our existing fence as well as some new construction. From the guy who did the estimate to the ladies in the office to the men who did the actual repairs, all were professional & thorough. Ken, Joe, & Thara worked nonstop & showed great attention to detail. Nicely done work. Would definitely hire again. Word of advice though. They're very busy so it takes longer to be scheduled but imo it's worth the wait."

"I needed 2 fence gates and a panel repaired. I couldn't get other companies to even call me back. I emailed photos to the Express Fencing customer service email listed on their site. They got back to me the same day with a quote. It was reasonable and they had a crew out to my house the next week. The crew were excellent, repairing my gates, panels and even a few other damaged areas they found. I would absolutely use Express Fencing again!"

"It was great!  4 of my immediate neigbors were getting the same kind of fence, so it was a smooth process.  The crew was punctual, worked hard, and did a quality job for a reasonable price.  Ultimately, it was a good experience, and I would recommend the company to others."

"Initially Mike Meehan himself came to the house as part of the big deal purchase which I hadn't realized was for a type of roof that we didn't have. However, once I told him what we needed done around windows flashing and fixing gutters, he took a look at everything including the rooms that had peeling paint. He also went into my attic to make sure there was no damage there. He wrote up an estimate right then and we scheduled the work for this week on July 30th. He came when he said he would and did everything he said he would do and came back again today to finish up some sanding of the spackling he did inside the house. I am still in shock given my prior experiences with roofing professionals in my area who rarely come when they say they will and in some cases after I decided to use them never showed up with a contract. Meehan Renovations was such a refreshingly pleasant group of people to deal with and I am feeling much better about the ability of our house to weather the next big storm. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.
