"He called before he arrived, giving me an estimated time of arrival, and he arrived promptly. He was very pleasant, polite and cordial, and took a look/listen to the back screen door. After lubricating the hinges didn't work, he quickly figured out the culprit and fixed that. Since it did not take very long to make the repairs, he offered to look at other doors. I forgot the sliding door handles were loose, so he tightened those up and also lubricated the track. The door slides much easier now! Also, the front door was squeaking so he figured out the problem there. The upper jamb was pulling away from the frame a bit, so he removed the upper pneumatic assembly and put a screw in there to hold the upper jamb, and then positioned another screw below that one. Then he put the pneumatic assembly back and the door no longer squeaks! He also lubricated the hinges there as well. 
He was a really nice guy who knew a lot about doors, frames, hinges, and other things too. I would call him again if I had any problems around the house.

"After a tree fell on our aluminum fence, I couldn't get the company who installed it to even come give us a repair estimate! After finding Hal Co on Angie's list, I got excellent service from the estimator, office, and installers. The fence and gate looked and functioned better than before! When another tree fell on a different part of the fence about six months later, I knew exactly who to call. Once again, I was thrilled with Hal Co's performance."

"Mr. Harper arrived for the estimate on the day & time as scheduled (others did not). He brought several samples for us to choose from. He & his crew performed all that was promised with minimal interference to our lives.  We are very pleased with the new deck & receive many compliments on the work from visitors to our home.  The delay in sending in a report on the work has nothing to do with Mr. Harper & Oasis Decks; time just got away from us. We plan on having Mr. Harper return to put up gates at the top of both stairways as we now have a grandchild who is walking."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.

For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don’t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.

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 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.

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.
