All American Fence was founded by Joseph Beachum and Marion Beachum; established in 2003, specializing in quality building of fences, decks, pergolas, and outdoor structures of all types and styles. We are fence and deck contractors located in Columbia, South Carolina. All American Fence incorporated in 2004 and changed its name to All American Fence Services, Inc.

"I have held off on a review to give the owners time to remediate the issues. They have not. Unfortunately we opted to support a vet owned company and ultimately got SCREWED. We had a meeting to set the lines and dimensions of the fence we wanted. It was all good at that point. Come time to get the fence it was a nightmare from there on, from the fact they did not put the fence where they agreed to, cutting us 30-40ft short-AND STILL ASKED US TO PAY FULL PRICE- of course I said no that’s 30-40ft of no labor and no supplies HECK NO. Then while they were building the fence the guys tripped the breaker-fine I got back on and asked them to use the generator they said the owner was bringing out -I was out of work and kicked offline but the PROCEEDED to continue and tripped the power THREE MORE TIMES. After asking them to stop. After they were done they left so many nails -yes for my dogs and us to step on and a lot of garbage not to mention their cigarettes in the cushions on my patio furniture-we do NOT smoke- we have since found MANY boards not even nailed in. Or nailed on the edge so the posts are split. I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND anyone to use this company after all was said and done I reached out with these concerns -as well as more- and just wanted the situation fixed I am now looking at hiring another company to come put my fence where it was originally supposed to be as well as fix the board not nailed in and we are still finding nails all over. And have yet to have the owners attempt to remediate any of it. It’s unfortunate as we are in a new build neighborhood and it could have been a great opportunity for them to earn a lot of business had they just made it right. Take your money elsewhere. Unfortunately this was an very expensive lesson learned as we are a young couple just starting out and expecting our first child and I thoroughly feel like we have been taken advantage of. *my mother was also In Town when we had to original meeting to set the lines and all that and she cannot believe what this company pulled. We are now unfortunately going to be taking further action to hopefully help ensure they cannot put another military family through this again."

"Worse experience ever. The owner refuses to respond directly to complaints and when given the option to do the right things, he chooses to take every advantage to get one over on you. Mike Dillon strikes first because he assumes he's always boxing. MDC is a highly unprofessional company with very limited ability in the industry and a horrible reputation due to the petty owner and constant mismanagement."

FAQs for driveway gate service projects in Forest Acres, SC

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.

It might be possible to install your own manual driveway gate rather than an automatic one, but we don’t recommend it. Driveway gates are large, heavy, and bulky, and getting them to your house and maneuvering them for installation can be dangerous. It’s also challenging to install the gate and balance it perfectly so that it functions as expected, and wiring any automation mechanisms for your gate is also dangerous and requires help from an electrician. We recommend leaving the work to a professional driveway gate installer.

Driveway gates are expensive to install, but they are usually a worthwhile investment. Not only does this exterior feature improve your curb appeal and, by extension, your property value, but they also help keep your home secure. Driveway can keep out unwanted guests and provide additional privacy for you and your household. Plus, they can serve as a means of keeping children and pets in your yard, depending on the type of fence.

In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a driveway gate unless you plan on removing an existing gate and installing a new one. You can either ask your driveway gate installer or your local building department to determine if a permit is required in your area and for your specific project. If you live on a corner property, additional restrictions may be attached to your permit that prevent you from installing a gate over a certain height or a privacy fence. Make sure you check with your installer about permitting before choosing a gate.

The average cost to install a driveway gate is around $3,500, and prices usually total between $1,900 and $6,000. However, security and driveway gates can cost as much as $12,000. Some cost factors include the size of the gate, the type of gate, the gate material, and the security level of the gate. A wrought iron gate will be more expensive than a PVC driveway gate, which will typically cost more than a wood gate. Automated gates are always more expensive than manual ones, as they require additional electrical installation.
