"I’m not just reviewing this company. Angies list gave me 5 different fence people and no one would come out to fix my gate. I really can’t blame them with everything going on. So I did it myself. 4 out 5 called me back. I thank you. This is not Meant to be a bad review."

"So smoothly! Scheduling and choosing our fence was super easy - they helped us choose which fencing, the hardware, and offered advice on other accessories. The crew showed up on time, and the fence was installed VERY quickly, and looks GREAT (5-6 years running). Over the years, some settling has occurred. I called to ask what can be done, and StraightForward came out and just corrected the leveling of the fence with no questions asked! WOW! Recently, one of the gate hinges snapped. It took just a bit to get someone to come out to look at it, but when he did, it was fixed in no time flat. And the gate works great now! And, to my surprise, it was the owner himself, Gary, that took the time to come out and service us. It isn't often that a company in this type of industry will continue with awesome customer service AFTER the product has been installed and the sale complete, but StraightForward is one of the few. We will have more fencing needs in the coming months/year, and will only make one phone call - to StraightForward. Great product. Great service!"

"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!!!!!"

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.

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.

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.

Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:

  • Have you worked with my gate material in the past?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?

  • Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?

Gates are often stuck halfway due to physical blockages or damage to the rollers, wheels, or tracks the gate runs on. Check to make sure there are no obstructions before considering that the motor might be burned out or malfunctioning somehow. Hopefully, the issue is simple, and you can remove it with a broom or your hands, but if your gate is stuck and there's no obvious reason why, you should call a pro to diagnose the issue.
