"Wonderful company and Illay was very personable and professional. He did a great job and fixed little things I didn’t even mention. Thank you, Illay!"
"Tom Lucas was prompt in providing the quote, and told me what to expect with regard to the process. Once the materials were ordered, he would install the posts in concrete and allow them to cure before installing the fencing. The weather was not cooperative so it took a few more weeks before the fence was installed. It looks great. The gate needs a slight adjustment, but that was expected with the cold weather, and Tom said he'd be back to make that adjustment soon. "
"Jack of All Trades Handyman Services LLC's services worked out fine. Yeah, we're pretty happy with it. I think they worked really hard and they're very responsive. My interactions with them were good. The work they did turned out good. They're reliable, nice workers. Good job."
"They were very busy that time of year and they explained that we would be a fill-in. So we knew anyway the posts would have to dry y before the fencing could be installed. It was only a few days a couple hours each day before completion but we knew that. Again great job and good price! "
"Could not finish the job due to a "leak." I had to pay an extra $175 dollars beyond the deal and have the huge hole created in my plaster wall repaired as a result of their work. "
"The guys from Stable Landscaping did a tremendous job on my “Spring Cleanup” on fairly short notice at a more than reasonable price. My property has a ton of shrubs, bushes and trees and each of them was carefully trimmed to meet our exact request. They meticulously removed all of the remaining fallen leaves, branches and the old mulch and replaced it with a thick layer of new mulch. No corners were cut. They worked extremely hard for hours, most of it in the rain. I highly recommend Stable Landscaping."
"Great again, hired them back two weeks after they came do yardwork and land clearing they put up my fence, row my entire property, a chain-link and salt a chain-link gate at the front of the property so people couldn’t use my driveway as a U-turn put an electric gate opener on there and they came out perfect I will be using them in the future and from now on they are my go to company"
"Tommy and his crew were very professional, punctual and did a great job. Went above and beyond my concerns. Repaired wind damage for free and I have had nothing but a positive experience with this company, from owner to receptionists and installers, they are great and do awesome work, and have the best warranty, that they actually honor."
If you only use your gate as a pedestrian, walking through without a vehicle, you’re fine to stick with a single fence gate. If your fence opening needs to accommodate vehicles of any kind, from cars to trucks to 4-wheelers, then a double fence gate will suit the space much better and give you more freedom.
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.
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.
Gates are often stuck halfway due to physical blockages or damage to the rollers, wheels, or tracks the gate runs on. Check to make sure there are no obstructions before considering that the motor might be burned out or malfunctioning somehow. Hopefully, the issue is simple, and you can remove it with a broom or your hands, but if your gate is stuck and there's no obvious reason why, you should call a pro to diagnose the issue.
The most common cause of gate sensors not working is damaged wiring. Only a professional should diagnose this because it requires working with the system's electronics. There are safety concerns, but more than that, you don't want to accidentally short out your system or cause any electrical damage. Insects, rodents, and fallen branches are common reasons your wiring could become damaged.
