"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."

"Valdez landscape and fence did an absolutely awesome job!! Enrique and his crew were very professional, efficient, good communicators, and even were able to accommodate my wife and I on some particular custom requests we had for our fence. Everything turned out better than I could’ve envisioned. Truly a great company! Hire with confidence!"

"David and his crew performed the installation of a driveway gate for us. I procured the gate, posts, automatic openers, accessory systems, wiring, etc. ahead of the installation. It took us a while to find a quality contractor that was willing to perform the “labor only” and didn’t force us to purchase the gate materials as part of a package. We appreciated David’s willingness to take on this type of working arrangement. We consulted with David along the way right up to the installation date. He was courteous responsive with his guidance. Overall, we found the timeliness of work and pricing to be very reasonable. We had a some subtle changes to the work scope along the way; however, David was able to maintain his original estimate. We needed to trench about 300’ of wire from the house to the road. David and his crew were willing to pick-up, use, and return our rental equipment for us – we appreciated this. In the spirit of full disclosure, here are the reasons I’m unable to give an “A” rating. (1) The cut in the driveway is not parallel to the gate … so it’s a slightly diagonal cut. Recommend snapping a chalk line, etc. Measure 2x, cut 1x. (2) Burial of the 300’ of wire was done somewhat quickly and the wire was a little taught … I’ve had to take time to re-bury several sections, (3) Misalignment of holes drilled into the gate posts (off by 3” … this is a lot) … this was done in haste by a crew member, not David. I did have to plug/paint the area for aesthetics and rust avoidance. The posts are 100 pound, 4”x4” steel which I had procured separately … more care needs to be taken with the accuracy of measurements."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added sliding gate mechanisms, which can go out from frequent use.

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?

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. 

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

Each has its use, depending on the scenario. Security doors are primarily intended to keep people out of the home, while storm doors are used to protect the home from extreme weather. Both tend to be made from heavy-duty metal and may include glass panels to allow light to enter the home. Storm doors can feature mesh screens, just like screen doors, to allow for increased ventilation and to keep out pests. Security doors rarely, if ever, have mesh screens.
