"Tom Lucas was prompt in providing the quote, and told me what to expect with regard to the process.  Once the materials were ordered, he would install the posts in concrete and allow them to cure before installing the fencing. The weather was not cooperative so it took a few more weeks before the fence was installed.  It looks great. The gate needs a slight adjustment, but that was expected with the cold weather, and Tom said he'd be back to make that adjustment soon.

"Dan is a dream come true! Not only an expert craftsman, he's also incredibly talented and an absolute pleasure to work with. His work is always A++++ We have done extensive work to the exterior (front and side entry) as well as an oak timbered porch. He, along with his son Tyler framed and tiled a full mud room with gorgeous custom bar. He has also sanded floors, built custom shelving, replaced all stair railings, built a custom bar, the list goes on! His knowledge of material is unparalleled. Most importantly Dan is a wonderful person. He is extremely patient (as I change my mind from time to time!) He is always on time and so respectful to our property. He takes immense pride in his work, and no job goes unfinished. He pays attention to every little detail. In short, since we found Dan our home has turned from lovely to extraordinary. I can't say enough good things and would recommend him over and over again."

"Wonderful. Tony was great!! They had to remove a fence that was not installed correctly and redo it the right way. They did a great job. Now my fence doesn't look like a big wave and have panels and gates blowing down with wind. I would highly recommend this company. GOOD JOB GUYS!!!!!"

"Instead three men arrived and the bars were installed perfectly in no time. This left time to fix a storm I only asked for an estimate for and time to hang a small shelf. I would have gladly paid extra for those repairs but the team volunteered to provide the service. I recommend Jack with no reservation

"I will never call anyone else for fence work. Alejandro is a true pro. Not only did he install a 6' vinyl privacy fence on one side of my property to match the other side, but he also fixed the problems the other fence contractor caused when it was installed last year. One thing I love about Official Fence is the communication... Alejandro kept me updated on the status of installation, which was delayed numerous times due to weather. He and his crew did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

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.

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

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.
