"The work that was done at our house was more than exceptional. Charles knew the metal needed and the type of gate that we were looking to get installed. He was very easy to work with and made us feel that us as his customers were very much a priority. I will only recommend Charles Ornamental to others seeking welding work. Thank you Charles and your team in keeping your appointments and completing the work we needed for security and peace of mind!!"

"A rep from Lotsa Fence Options came out and did an estimate. I chose them after getting a couple estimates and they did the work in a half day about a month later. Very careful, efficient, and professional work. They even repaired my gate handles for free. I highly recommend them"

"Two employees showed up at my home on time to do an estimate on the few things we needed repaired to complete the sale of our home. The work performed is provided in detail. I was totally shocked at the cost for the repairs on the estimate but we went a head and agreed to having the work performed since we're close to our settlement date. I must say the work performed on everything except the electrical panel was top notch. I say this because the labeling of the electrical panel was completed by writing in Black magic marker what rooms were on each breaker. I was expecting at least to see printed labels used for what we were charged. I/we were expecting to pay $300 - $500 for these few things to be fixed but boy was I am thankful for the work performed but I wouldn't hire this company again only because their prices are outrageous.

"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."

"While it is fortunate that nobody was hurt, it is true that an overnight burglary to this property resulted in a shattered custom-made double pane patio door leading from the family room to the patio outside. This was an extremely upsetting experience to the homeowner, and since it happened during the holidays, and on one particular day when the temperatures were expected to drop about 40 degrees with wind gusts of up to 50 mph expected later in the evening, it felt especially hopeless. I went immediately to Angie's List and found Fat Guy with a Hammer. His receptionist took my call at about 11:30 that morning and he was booked until after the holidays, but on hearing the circumstances she called him at his job site and he agreed to come the same day to secure the house until a new door could be ordered. He did, indeed, arrive the same day and worked until 7 pm that night along with his apprentice, even though he was planning to leave town for Christmas that weekend. He was compassionate and very sympathetic to our situation. I just can't put into words how he saved the day for us all. I will never forget him and will use him for whatever future carpentry and construction needs I may have. The quality of his work was excellent as was his attention to providing a safe and secure situation all around. A true  Christmas Miracle. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!"

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

You don’t need a permit for an automatic gate in most cities because it isn’t a structural change to your home, but you need to check. A pro can help you with this and since we don’t recommend installing an automatic gate yourself, you should already be in contact with one, making this a frictionless question. Outside of permit requirements, you need to consider your homeowners association (HOA), as some are against gated homes.

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.

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.

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.

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.
