I have been employed in the carpentry trades for 33 years. I started as a young man in my fathers construction business, Carl Haines Construction. We did contruction from varying from new homes to remodeling and renovations. Because of the rural area that we lived in we did outside work involving farms and the type of outbuildings and sheds that were needed. I moved my family to South Carolina and I established my business there working on various beach homes. We did alot of fine woodwork on stairs and railings along with all the other types of construction mentioned. I did work that was featured in the "Southern Living" Magazine. I am pleased to be back in Pennsylvania again serving the area I and my wife grew up in. I currently employ 2 other carpenters and have at my disposal parttime help for larger jobs. I do use some sub contractors for such Items as electrical, heating and cooling, and crane services which must be hired to meet various building codes. My billing requirements are that materials be paid upfront, with labor being paid in weekly or bi-weekly payments with final payment upon completion of the work . Terms to be decided at the beginning of the work.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.

While many gate hinges are often made of extremely durable materials, such as galvanized steel, they can wear out after many years. How quickly they wear out also depends on how much use they’ve endured. It’s also possible for the hinge screws to fall out, which weakens the hinge. Once a hinge wears out, it’s time for a replacement so your gate doesn’t start sagging.
