During the contract discussion phase, Jason was willing to work with me on details of the job, such as the electrical hookup and keypad installation. This was a nice touch and made his company easier to work with and a better value. I had a new driveway installed prior to the fence and gate. Jason did a nice job of communicating with my concrete contractor to provide dimensions needed for the concrete pad which was poured for the driveway gate. After the installation, Jason spent time with me to explain the operation of the gate and answered all of my questions. He also responded very quickly when I called him the day after installation. He came to the property to make a minor adjustment to one of the settings which I really appreciated.

He was both personable and professional and had lots of recommendations, primarily encouraging me to not buy the prefab gates or trellises but to let his crew build the gates as this would be no problem at all. His arrangement was for me to purchase all the materials based upon the measurements and list he provided and then his services would be carpentry and labor. We worked with a local lumber yard to purchase and deliver exactly what was on his required list of materials, but, turns out, his measurements were off by more than 20%, thus requiring two additional trips for more wood (ie: the cost was 1/3 more for materials than he original lead me to believe). The fence is a good fence. It wasn't perfect but it is good. He was willing to adjust a few spots of poor workmanship, The bad experience was with the building of the gate. Since he was going to do a custom built gate, I rendered a graphic to scale, plus photographs and an on-line step by step instruction guide of how to build the gate. Confidently, he said he would be able to build that gate and the trellis with no problem. I explained in detail everything about the illustration. A few days later, after watching the crew rush to try to finish the gate all in one evening, I inspected the gates and found that one gate was a whole foot narrower than the other, which left a foot gap between the two gates when closed. Not sure what the point of gates are if there is a foot inbetween each (of course my dogs loved the easy access to the street). Furthermore, one was crooked and not level. I called Richard and he said he was aware of the issue and he would fix it the next day. When he arrived the next day, I showed him, with my level, all the issues with the doors. very professionally and with confidence, he said he would fix this. At the end of that day, not only was the door still crooked, the new door was aligned to the crooked one creating a slope of the gate that put the new door on the ground where it couldn't be moved at all. Obviously, gates, doors and trellises are beyond the skill level of his team . . . which not only left a ruined product, it meant more materials were required in order to have it redone. At this point, I just wanted wanted a level gate that closed without gaps and disengaged richards services and am in the process of having my gate reconstructed by someone else. I am not pleased with the overall experience. If you need a standard, basic perimeter fence and only a fence, and are willing to arrange and purchase all the materials on your own, this would be a good company to use. Anything else on your list of wants, work with another company."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/houston/brown-fencing-reviews-494708.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for driveway gate service projects in Van Vleck, TX
When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate 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’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.
It might be possible to install your own manual driveway gate rather than an automatic one, but we don’t recommend it. Driveway gates are large, heavy, and bulky, and getting them to your house and maneuvering them for installation can be dangerous. It’s also challenging to install the gate and balance it perfectly so that it functions as expected, and wiring any automation mechanisms for your gate is also dangerous and requires help from an electrician. We recommend leaving the work to a professional driveway gate installer.
Driveway gates are expensive to install, but they are usually a worthwhile investment. Not only does this exterior feature improve your curb appeal and, by extension, your property value, but they also help keep your home secure. Driveway can keep out unwanted guests and provide additional privacy for you and your household. Plus, they can serve as a means of keeping children and pets in your yard, depending on the type of fence.
In most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a driveway gate unless you plan on removing an existing gate and installing a new one. You can either ask your driveway gate installer or your local building department to determine if a permit is required in your area and for your specific project. If you live on a corner property, additional restrictions may be attached to your permit that prevent you from installing a gate over a certain height or a privacy fence. Make sure you check with your installer about permitting before choosing a gate.
The average cost to install a driveway gate is around $3,500, and prices usually total between $1,900 and $6,000. However, security and driveway gates can cost as much as $12,000. Some cost factors include the size of the gate, the type of gate, the gate material, and the security level of the gate. A wrought iron gate will be more expensive than a PVC driveway gate, which will typically cost more than a wood gate. Automated gates are always more expensive than manual ones, as they require additional electrical installation.
