"I hired Daniel to upgrade the wiring and install a grounded outlet in an 80 year old house to accept a refrigerator. He did an excellent job, and went through the whole house and identified the wiring, what type, which fuses are connected to which outlets (something that two other very experienced electricians were unable to do). While wiring is safe there were some very circuirtuous and unexpected routes taken in this old house which, in one evening, he was able to figure out. He will be doing a lot more electrical work for me. My first experience with Danny's work was when a huge tree fell on my property. He removed the tree for a very good price, sawed it neatly into logs and even swept out the lawn after removal. He also does moving (excellent rates) he will be doing this week for me, fixes sliding glass doors, drywall and carpentry work. He is a jack of all trades trained by his father (who owned a contracting buiness) from a young age. Forgot to mention, one of his primary businesses is as a locksmith and he put in the lock on my front door. For most jobs large and small, no need to look further."

"Double Tree is Awesome. Eddy  is amazing in the
tree. He took down a very large pine tree that was breaking my driveway
and ground the stump. His crew cleaned my entire front yard of sticks,
leaves and pine needles. They even cleaned the driveway, walkway and
front porch. My yard looks beautiful now. They are friendly, knowledgable, professional
 and caring as if the trees were their own.I recommend them to everyone,
my family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Very professional. I will
hire them again for future trees.

"All went well. The demolition of the old porch went well. The construction of the two car garage also went well. Coordination with the other members of the team (masonry, electrician) went well and was timed well.  Project was on time and completed on time.  All workers worked well and displayed a high level of skill for their trade.
After the job was completed I received very favorable comments from neighbors about the finished product.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or steel door to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door. You can also buy specialized locks separately for $200 to $600. If you decide to hire a pro to install your new security door, you’ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor costs.

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.
