Q: Why does my gate keep sagging?

• <div><p>There are a few possible issues that are causing your gate to sage. The hinges may be bent, or the screws holding the hinges to the post could fail&mdash;causing the gate to sag from one side to the other. The gate itself may also have come out of square due to failing supports, causing it to sag. On the other hand, it&rsquo;s possible the gate isn&rsquo;t the issue at all. The post holding the gate aloft may lean inward, causing the gate to sag.</p></div>

Q: Do gates require maintenance?

• <div><p>Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.</p></div>

Q: Should a wooden gate swing in or out?

• <div><p>Ideally, your gate would swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it's generally best for the gate to swing inward. There are exceptions, however. For example, if your property is on a slope, your gate may not be able to swing in.</p><p>Keep in mind that there may be local building codes that require your gate to swing inward.</p></div>

Q: Is a sliding or swinging gate better?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a lot of clearance, a sliding gate can save space. But keep in mind that sliding gates may require more maintenance to keep in operating condition, and swinging gates are often less expensive. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose a driveway gate?

• <div><p>When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/automatic-front-gate-options.htm">automatic gate</a> 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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Luis provided estimates and pics. He did a good job with the fence gate. He later returned and changed the gate handle and a board per my dad's preference without taking offense or problems. Luis is polite and we looking forward to him doing more home projects. Thank you!

I believe they do good driveways. We got a prompt estimate from Steve. $25K. He said just call if you have any questions. I did, but it seems he couldn't do me the courtesy of returning my calls. Not good business. He lost my business.
