"The whole experience was great. It started with the owner coming out to give me the price and answer questions. I asked many questions, and I could tell he had done many quality fences before because he was able to put me at ease with all my concerns. He had solutions for every situation I brought up. I could tell he would be a good problem solver should problems come up. I like to know how a company handles problem issues because that tells me whether or not I should do business with them. When I brought up a concern like contouring the ground so my dogs could not get out, he put me at ease that it would be done, and he said there are options to cover spaces between the bottom of the fence and the ground should the contour of my fence area be a problem due to my property contour. I asked about the double gate to make sure there would not be space where the gates come together. Again he assured me it would be tight. We discussed the quality of the powder coated panels and how the last thing they do is touch up any imperfections that may have occurred. I had many other questions answered , and it removed the "worry" from the situation. After talking with him and hearing how he does business and how he installs fences, I knew this was the right company for me. The installation went great. Once my job was near the front of the line, they called me periodically to keep me informed about the scheduling of my job so I would know what to expect. The installation team was very skilled at their jobs. From the setting of the posts to the final panel weld, they were professional, courteous, and super workers! They respected my property and left it clean like they found it. I will recommend Blacksmith Fence Company to my friends and family."

"Matthew helped me to repair an existing security gate. The gate had no power when he showed up, and we tried to power the gate. After the gate had power, it still wasn't fully functional. Matthew then replaced some circuitry as well as the motherboard, and added a key-pad entry system to help with security measures. I would recommend Matthew and Johnson's Automatic Gate based on my experience."

We've had two other companies look at our wrought iron entry gate and had been told that it was our battery.  We replaced the battery, but continued to have problems with the gate opening.  I call Premier Entry Systems and spoke with Les and explained that it might be our solar panel.  He asked several questions and thought that could be the problem.  I asked or an approximate cost and he told me he would check and call me back.  He was quick to return the call with the cost and said he could have someone come to our house the next day.  He was informative, courteous and very helpful.

The next morning Kevin came at the time he told us he would and check the panel and indeed it was not holding a charge.  He also checked our battery and said it was okay.  He installed the new solar panel in a very short amount of time.  Again, he was informative and courteous. 

We could not have been happier with their services and will definitely use them in the future.  Our neighbors are having a similar problem and we will share our experience with them and hopefully they will use this good company as well.

 

Thank you - great job!!

"John arrived on time and two hours laters our new gate operator was installed and adjusted perfectly An excellent installation that included removal of the old system brackets, welding new ones in place, painting and electrical connections. John was professional and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for, he did not have the lowest bid, but the quality of his work and honesty was the added value justifying the cost.

"I recently purchased the home and the back fence was missing. Since the home is next to a water easement the town of Fort Worth was going to assess fines if I did not have the fence up within a week after purchase (seriously). I called several fence companies but only Housewright was willing to adjust their schedule after I made my situation known to them. The estimate for the fence and gate installation was also reasonable. The workers arrived and completed the job quickly. The fence and gates look great and I am not going to get fined. Thanks Housewright!"

"Joels fence designs took into consideration style, durability, quality, cost, and functionality.  I had a tentative idea of what I wanted with this project but had specific concerns regarding my very large dogs which Joel addressed extremely well.    Joel listened to what I had to say and walked through it with me on site.  He thought of things I hadn't even considered and made appropriate suggestions to fill the gaps in my plan.  

I had him put in a 6 foot wooden privacy fence with a gate along the back of the property.  In addition, he designed and installed a wrought iron fence around the upper tier of my deck and yard including multiple gates.  Lastly, he built a fence on my side yard to form a dog run including stairs from my upper to lower tiers of my yard. 

Joel was professional, helpful, and extremely responsive.  He ensured all work performed was completed in a timely manner and also that his team cleaned up and left my property in great shape.  He has since followed up to make sure his work has continued to meet my expectations.

I think this should be right out there - His pricing was fair and there were NO HIDDEN ITEMS OR SURPRISES. And yes, I had shopped around - I'm an auditor after all.  I will definitely be a repeat customer.  Thanks Joel

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

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.

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.

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

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.
