"I used this company for a couple of months. The owner was extremely professional, however, his work staff wasn't as attentive to details as needed. Missed spots, inconsistent weed eating areas, grass not cleared from driveway and/or street, etc. I spoke with Mr. Balderas numerous times, it just didn't improve (I honestly feel he tried his best, he even adjusted his work crew membes). I had to move on to another service."

"After numerous bids from Angie List providers, this company was by far the most reasonable of all.  The work was done with 
professionalism and in a timely manner.  Even with all the rain, this company installed ahead of projected start date.
The quality of work was excellent. These people know what they are doing.  Gates are built right on the spot rather than pre cut ones.  I can't say enough.  The crew was excellent, management extremely cooperative and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the future.

"Due to weather the job was started slightly after the original date and we had interruptions that were weather related. The weather is always a factor on an outside job and flexibility needs to be understood. Steve and anyone we have ever dealt with through his company have been extremely polite and accommodating. We have actually hired Nexgen for more jobs since the original and would do so again. The quality is outstanding and Steve's knowledge and willingness to work with us and help us with our vision was something no one else could do. This is not a cookie-cutter operation. Steve listened and offered options which included ideas we were not even aware of. Great contractor to do business with.

"Got quotes from three different firms and Jones' was by far the lowest.  They were able to get 30 year shingles on for less than the price my insurance company was allowing for 3-tab.  The workers were courteous and diligent.  Clean up was very good, though we did find a nail or two.  It has been almost a month and we have had several heavy thunderstorms as well as some days of non-stop rain, and there has been no evidence of leaking.  All in all... very pleased."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

In addition to a doorbell camera, you can upgrade your home’s security with several different features. Backyard security, for instance, may include a mix of security cameras, lighting, and fencing. Additional security cameras around your property, as well as a total smart security system with an alarm connected to your smartphone, are also advisable. This could well be worth the cost for the peace of mind alone, but home security systems also lower home insurance costs.

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.
