"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

Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.

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.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

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.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.
