We have had Brian and his crew working in our home on an off for 2+ years.  We are in the process of remodeling our home - section by section - room by room.  We found Brian after being robbed of over 5K by a shyster of a contractor...we were burned, burned, burned.  Brian had the unfortunate task of coming in behind these creeps - ripping out everything they did and starting over.  Not easy - considering we were extremely gun shy.

He has worked his way from the garage through our laundry room into our master bedroom, master bedroom closet, master bath room on into the hall and then into the guest bathroom.  ALL of these rooms have been completely transformed by Brian.  He has painted, laid tile (on floors and walls), patched walls, installed hard wood flooring, installed new windows, installed stone on one side of our fireplace, done a ton of plumbing and wiring, installed doors (regular and pocket), installed light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, and shower systems.  He has put up with our craziness and insecurities and still managed to get the job done...

You have to be willing to work WITH Brian.  For me this is a wonderful thing - he is always full of ideas - that usually are things that I have thought of but never thought possible.

We still have two bedrooms a great room and a kitchen to get through...Brian will be with us for the foreseeable future!!!

Driveway Gates FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.

While entryways are seldom added to a house to increase the sale price, they are commonly constructed to increase the livability and enjoyment of a home. So, while they aren’t necessary, they do make for a more comfortable and luxurious-feeling home. Entryways are most valuable in areas of extreme heat, cold, or rain, as the space between the living area and the outdoors helps keep the outdoors outside. Plus, snow, wet boots, and mud are all corralled into one space that’s easy to clean.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.
