Q: What features can be added to a gate?

• <div><p>Features include automation, intercoms, keypads, and decorative elements. Custom options enhance security and style.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to install a gate on my property?

• <div><p>Installing a gate on an existing fence or alongside a new fence is usually worthwhile, even though it can be expensive. Side gates give you easier access to your rear yard, making the space more usable. More importantly, they can help keep your children and pets safe in your yard without compromising accessibility. Security gates are particularly worthwhile, as they have the added bonus of protecting your home. In case that&rsquo;s not enough upside, installing a fence with gates usually boosts your curb appeal and property value.</p></div>

Q: Is a sliding or swinging gate better?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of clearance, a sliding gate can save space. But keep in mind that sliding gates may require more maintenance to keep in operating condition, and swinging gates are often less expensive. </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>

Jan Fence did a beautiful job. I needed a fenced backyard for my dog. The back 25 feet of the property was a mess - huge boulders on one corner, one side sloped down quite a bit and it was used as a dump for leaves - about 3 feet with dead trees and logs. I had one estimate from another...

They were very responsive to phone calls and explained things thoroughly. They talked over the placement of the fence for a long time with me and their workmen were prompt and polite.

It went well. I went with a cedar wood driveway gate (that I did not want to look like a driveway gate) and cedar wood enclosure and a small additional 6 foot chain-link gate in between the house and another structure. I first had the driveway gate completed, and several weeks later as I wanted...

Steve showed up, measured my property, and we discussed the fence gate that needed to be placed across the driveway. He made a drawing, a few calculaltions, and gave me a written estimate. I thought the estimate was very reasonable, and sent him a check the next day for the deposit. It took...

Steve and his team were fantastic. He showed up to do the measurements, gave us a quote and when we agreed on the price, they ordered the materials. The materials took about 3 weeks to come in, and they setup the days to work the very next week. Steve's team were punctual, professional and did...

Steve was extremely flexible around our work schedules. He came, measured, discussed different options of fencing. He didn't pressure us to buy a more expense fence that we didn't need or couldn't afford. It is almost a year later and it looks great and is doing a great job keeping our dog...

When we started the process they estimated a 2 to 3 week wait for the work to be done, three days later they were setting posts and the next day the fence was up and done. Excellent work.
