"Every thing was smooth beginning with an on the spot estimate and several interactions with their office. They had to deal with a few days of rain which started right after they completed the post installs. The two-man install crew made a few changes to the original plans, at my request, without a problem. Doug, the Lead installer, understood my need to reroute the fencing and came up with a nice solution around a curved area of my driveway. I had "thrown" the change at him on the morning of the install. The Install Crew worked like a crew of one. One guy would start to do something and the other guy was ready to do the next step when the other completed his task. All without either needing to talk to the other. It was fun to watch two work so smoothly. They have MANY years of experience installing all kinds of fence and it showed on my job.
I had also added an extra gate to the original estimate at the last minute and Office Manager Stacie was able to have their vendor add the five foot gate to an order at the last minute so it would make a truck delivery just in time for my installation. Stacie also communicated with me often during the several days of rain so that I had a good idea of her companies plans for the "next work day". Everyone was so professional when interacting with me every step of the way. The fence looks great and my Doberman loves to run in his play yard without restrictions.
I highly recommend Phillips Fencing for any of your fencing needs. If they do half the job they did for me you will not be disappointed.

"These guys are exceptional in all areas. We couldn't be happier with what did. I don't think a five star rating is good enough, I give them 10 stars. If you ever are going to have some custom iron work done I recommend Jeff and his crew, you won"t get better quality or customer service!!!!! Carl and Elaine Rafello"

Mr. Card was fantastic!   He takes great pride in his work. I will never use anyone else.  His is my first call for everything.  He is honest and trustworthily.

He not only repaired out drive but made sure the drainage was done correctly to prevent this from ever happening again.  He also updated our landscaping.  He took great pains to enhance the beauty of the property in a natural and charming way. Weeks later he came by when rain was expected to make sure all of the drainage was working properly.

We could not be happier with the outcome.

"Excellent. Anthony and his team showed up and worked through each of the issues until the problem or enhancement was completed. They even had time to replace a circuit breaker that had frozen causing my pool pump to stop working even though it wasn't part of the original list to complete. They made time to review the issue, switch out the bad breaker and get it running for me again. Anthony's team is courteous and respectful of the house and do really good work. I would and will hire AD Maintenance and Electrical again."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

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.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.
