"They did a beautiful job. Update as of 09/24/2026 Did not take fence angled like he said. Cut off left jagged edge. Did not give receipt for final project, when I text he said he sent it then turned his messages off."

"lkkllWork was done promptly and carefully, with little disruption of basement.  Included was the installation of a sump pump.
In the two years since installation, the system has worked beautifully and the walls, parts of which had gotten very wet, are now completely dry.

"It 'WENT' very smoothly!
He was easy to work with, did everything I asked, and did it well. 
The only problem was that the instructions for hanging the Roman shades were somewhat confusing, but we managed
to figure that out. and they look great.
ALL of the things I've mentioned are things I could have done myself years ago--except the Roman shades. Most
'handymen'  I've met  don't seem interested in doing these smallish things--but often the small things are the most
important to keeping a house 'working',
I'm very pleased with this provider!

"He did some flashing around some windows that were excellent. The roofing work he did was excellent and he repaired an issue. However, I was not pleased at all with the replacement of siding that I had him do. Where the outlet comes out for the exhaust from the dryer, I had previously had it removed and there was a hole left there. It was covered with tin and I had wanted it to be replaced with siding. He was going to install and match the siding. He was unable to match it and what he put up there was horrible. He spent a lot of time looking to match the siding before he said they no longer made that siding and he was unable to match it at all. It was poorly matched and you could see the tacking that was put up there. I told him I was not pleased with the job and I would have preferred the silver tin that the previous contractor had put over it over the various off color and poor tack job of putting up this siding. I also think that the cost for the deal was too much for the work that he did."

"An eight foot section of PVC fence was taken down buy a very large branch. He was able to repair it to like new condition. I sent him many pictures with dimensions and he was able to put it back together without having to replace it with a new panel. The fence I had was a discontinued style. He saved me money and didn't have to replace it with something that would not match. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Costs depend on system type, labor rates, and additional features like smart integration or professional monitoring.
