"This project was for three bathroom remodels in a 1960 single level ranch - the bathrooms hadn't had much updating.  There was extensive wallpaper in two of them which had to be removed (this is a terrible job!) followed by wall prepping.  The powder room proceeded without any problems and was done quickly. The guest bath required a few changes that were unexpected, such as moving the door frame to accommodate a 32" tub instead of the 30" originally in place, and moving the vanity light box.  Greg and Donnell were always happy  to do whatever I wanted, and offered advise and tips along the way when unexpected things came up. 
The en suite bathroom was a big mess from extensive water damage that we didn't know about.  When Greg took down the tiles parts of the wall completely collapsed from water damage (and everything looked great on the outside).  The wood beams were rotten, the sub floor under the shower tray was rotten and almost completely unsupported, and once Greg removed the tile flooring we realized that all of the sub floor had water damage and needed to be replaced.  Greg was suspicious and went into the crawl space under the house to determine if additional damage was evident, and it was.  This is a 1960 ranch house that has a strange support structure with support beams further apart than is typical.  The entire bathroom was essentially unsupported with the exception of two screw jacks in place (we knew about this from the home inspection but it wasn't clear the extent of previous damage).  Greg built an entire new support structure under the bathroom & shower.   As an add on we had Greg insulate our water pipes and replace some of the fiberglass insulation under the house.

I was so pleased with the work and the overall attitude of Greg and Donnell that I decided to have them install two new skylights.  Right after purchasing the house I tried to have skylights installed but was told by the contractor that he couldn't install them because the HVAC ducts were in the way (they are flexible plastic, not metal).  When I mentioned this to Greg he laughed and said of course the ducts could be moved, they're flexible and extenders can by installed if necessary (it wasn't).  Now I have two beautiful skylights thanks to Greg & Donnell!

Overall I really appreciated the communications between Greg, Donnell, and me.  We typically used text messaging which I find very convenient, and they could send me photos along with questions while I was at work.  I am a bit of a control freak and Greg and Donnell were OK with my need to know what was going on, and immediately if problems arose.  I plan on having them back in the early winter to replace an ugly stone fireplace facing and do some work on my kitchen."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Depending on your needs and wants, investing in a security door can be well worth the cost. Now that you know the pros and cons, you can decide if it’s a purchase that makes sense for your family. If you’re ready to have one installed in your home, look into security door installers in your area.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

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.

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.

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.
