"I got Jim's voicemail when I called but he returned the call promptly.  He was punctual in arriving for the estimate and provided the most competitive estimate combination of price and time to completion.  We chose a color for the vinyl that nearly matched the original siding (the selection samples he had were from new siding and the siding on the house had weathered some over 17 years).  I gave him a deposit and he said he'd get started.  His folks did get started as promised but his siding supplier gave them the wrong color of siding.  His crew put it up before either him or I got a look as the color.  Jim got to see it before I did and called me to warn me.  It took a couple of extra days (still within my timeframe) but he redid it with right color.  It's not a perfect match (hard to do unless your replace it all) but it looks pertty good!  His guys used some of the salvageable siding from the back to complete the replacement on the side that saved me a little money and matched the side even better than the back.  They did a decent job on the masonry repair too.       "

"We were preparing to build a new deck and needed our house power washed and some of the window and door trim painted. The house is three stories high in the back and I am not comfortable working on ladders at that height. Thankfully, John is. We contacted several people (all off of Angie's List) and John was the first to get back with us. His plan and estimate matched what we wanted and was reasonably priced.
Even though some of the respondents considered it a small project, John took his time and went through the details with us. While others were ambiguous regarding when they could do it and how long it would take, John was very specific and lived up to his promise. He showed up exactly on time and well prepared. He began working and continued to work through the project's completion. He was very conscientious and considerate.
While he was doing some of the projects, we added several additional items onto the list and he was agreeable to the added projects. What started out as a $250 project doubled in cost, but pleasantly so. We were impressed with John's work ethic and attitude. He was very agreeable to the tasks that we added as we went and was very accommodating to our needs. We couldn't have chosen more wisely.
John will be the first person I call for future projects around the house."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Your dog might be able to slip underneath chewable, flexible fabric gate covers. When you have a wayward woofer, using wooden panels that come within an inch or two of the ground is the most secure option. You may need a metal defense barrier dug into the soil to keep your dog from digging under your fence or gate.

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.

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.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.

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.
