"The pricing was very fair and they finished the job incredibly fast (3 days total for about 172 feet of fencing, including the removal of old fencing stuck in ivy roots). Joey was nice and professional; he really knows his stuff. He also fixed our gate while he was at it."

"We had this company extend our fence around the driveway and add a gate, and the whole project turned out great. The team was easy to work with and understood exactly what we were looking for. The extension blends perfectly with the existing fence, and the new gate is solid and works smoothly. It really adds a lot of security and looks great, too. The whole process was straightforward, and they finished on time. We're really happy with the results and would definitely recommend them!"

"Jeremy came quickly and assured me it was an easy and fast fix and he just needed an additional part he'd pick up in Sandy. He came back, repaired it within 10 minutes and it works great.
BUT.....because I have worked with Earthworks before, they were, of course, my first (my ONLY) call.  Nowhere on Angie's List and never during my conversation with Marissa was I told there was a two-hour minimum (all the other projects they've done were much bigger, so it never came up).  At $65/hour, this 10 minute job cost me$130!  Had I known, I would have looked for a local handyman and that is certainly what I'll do in the future.  And, yes, I did talk with Marissa at Earthworks regarding the bill and it stands as billed.
I'm sorry, guys, you've lost my business.

"Better than I could've hoped for. Bob and Brandon were awesome! They showed up for the consultation early, but not obnoxiously early. First thing I appreciated. They were honest about what needed to be done. This was a Saturday, said they would have estimates for me on Monday. They called me Sunday, directly, which I appreciated. Not only did they give me different options, they were up front with what each one had, and didn't have to offer. They also informed me they wouldn't be able to start until Wednesday due to another job they were working on. Though it sucked, I understood, and appreciated their honesty. Got another call a short while later informing me they could actually start the next day on Monday due to an unexpected wait on some tile for another customer. I was floored! I was so happy to be a priority for them, really made me feel special. My wife and I needed this done so we could sell our house and were not looking forward to waiting. Needless to say, we felt blessed. The job took two days, it wasn't big, just beyond my own skill set. Not only did they put new siding in, but they went above and beyond and made new frames for all the windows, put in a new flood light, and caulked one more window for us. The place looks amazing! These two take pride in their craft, and that's what I'll call it because it was more than just work to them. Not only was it good, but done a lot sooner than we were expecting. I was so happy that I gave them both a $50 gift card to Texas Roadhouse. Should I need to the services of a good handyman again, I'm calling these guys first."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.

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.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.

Fence gates sag because they have no support on the latch side of the gate to help hold them aloft. A gate wheel fixes that problem by providing support for that latch side. Remember that the ground must be level in front of the gate so the wheel can roll freely when you open and close it. If the terrain is uneven or slopes, a gate wheel won’t work.

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.
