"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.

"We had a recently renovated pool in our backyard and needed fence work and landscaping. Most companies have us. Long lag time to get this accomplished but griffins couldn’t have been quicker and more accommodating to our needs. The work quality was outstanding and done so quickly. Amazing communication with the person in Charge. We would use them again no questions asked."

"Mike was incredibly responsive and helpful when we asked him for a quote on our garage reno/conversion project. He was able to field all of our questions, meet us on site, and text us with examples when discussing appliances that would be included in the project. He is extremely professional and transparent, and we would highly recommend him to others, especially first-timers!"

"The representative came over quickly, gave me a fair quote and offered to begin work the following day. I was impressed by the price and the promptness, and materials were bought before Home Depot closed that very day. The next morning the team arrived, re-insulated the crevasses and sealed the hole in a little more than half a hour. The basement is already warm and toasty again. I cannot be more pleased. It's a joy to work with this team and I look forward to hiring them for just about anything."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don’t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.

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.
