My names Cayden Shadoan, I’m 23 years old. I have a beautiful wife and daughter. I have a full time job as a pipe welder in Sumter South Carolina. I’m on here just looking to pick up a couple extra jobs here and there in hopes of starting my own business one day to be able to stay home with my family more. I can do pretty much anything that needs done in or around your house. Specializing in building fences or repairing fences, any kind of piping jobs, or any welding. Thank you for considering me to help you get what you need done. Hope to see you soon.

"Dan was very prompt in scheduling the appointment to give an estimate.  He really wanted the work and offered a discount if he could go ahead and get started.  He was very fast.  The only criticism I have is that he didn't sink the fence posts very deep and used a 4x4 post for a gate post so the fence is a little wobbly and the gate already sags a bit.  The biggest issue is that we agreed to a "dog-eared" picket and he set the top rail in line with the top of the pickets rather than a few inches below as most fences are so you cannot see the dog-eared top of the pickets.  I was not able to see the pickets clearly in the pictures he sent (I do not live in the house where he was doing the fence).  When I did see them, the job was finished and I had already paid him.  In fairness, I did not demand that he re do the fence, because there would be no way to do it without taking the fence completely apart.  My issue is that he is the fence guy and I should not have to be the one to also say, "oh, by the way, be sure the dog eared pickets show."

Driveway Gates FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, most services include safety checks and anchoring to ensure stability. Confirm with your provider.

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.

Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.

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.
