"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."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the gate type and site conditions.

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

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.

Automatic gates don’t use too much electricity, and you should see a minimal effect on your utility bill. In fact, certain gate systems are entirely self-sufficient and rely on solar panels attached to or near the gate to power the motor. While a gate is large and there is a powerful motor moving it, it’s not something that sees constant use throughout the day. For most automatic gates, expect to see a utility bill increase of only around $10 per month.
