"My 1970's ramble needed an update but I was feeling overwhelmed by having to get multiple bids and talk to different contractors. I was never sure if I was getting the best "bang for my buck" until I got lucky and found Young Guns. Anthony and Brandon are amazing to work with! I had several projects that I wanted to do and asked if they would provide separate bids for each project so I could be sure to stay within budget. They were more than willing to do this for me. First project on my list was my upstairs bathroom which we took down to the studs. I did not want a "tub surround" so they installed a new tub, complete tub to ceiling tiling, new shower and faucets, new tile flooring, new sheetrock and paint. The end result was absolutely beautiful! Next was the new Pergo flooring throughout the entire upstairs and painting each of the 3 bedrooms. New doors and trim (we went with the craftsman look - their suggestion). Tore out the old wood burning stove in the living room and installed an electric fireplace. We are almost done in the living room and I hope the boys post a picture on their web site. I am thrilled with the end result! Finally the kitchen. We are waiting for the new cabinets to come. Anthony says any day now. We installed new "can" lights and a new skylight when we removed the old evaporative cooler off the roof. Did I mention I have central air now? I cannot rave enough about the professional workmanship these guys provided and the attention to detail. Both guys are friendly and professional. More important they were honest in their dealings with me. I felt comfortable leaving them the keys to my home each day while I went to work. I am going to tackle the basement area next year. I won't even bother to look for anyone else to do the work. They are absolutely first on my list."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.

Is your wrought iron gate really rusty or in need of major repair work? Replacing it with a gate with built-in privacy screening may be easier and, in some cases, more economical. Professional fence or gate repair costs average $100 to $400, and you may be able to get a new gate for the same price.

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

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.
