"We bought an Angie's List package for a garage door tune up. The person who came recommended we change the spring as it was too weak for the door's weight. After we made the change, the door is MUCH quieter to operate and water does not seep in the garage under the door as it used to. We are very satisfied with the services that were performed"

"They were very responsive. I called for an estimate and they completed it on the same day and left it for me on my front door. Oscar called me the next day to discuss the estimate and I hired them for the job. Oscar called me when the weather forecast was for snow and asked if they could do the job on Sunday rather than Monday. That was helpful to me too. He said they would arrive between 8:00 & 9:00 AM and they pulled in at 8:50. Perfect. Once they got into the repair they found that the one liner was cracked all around the top and should be replaced. They had the liner and were able to replace it. They did the work in one day, cleaned up, they were extremely careful with my roof and gutters. Since the weather was calling for snow they covered the chimney and will return to take the cover off once the weather clears. They were very professional, polite and thorough. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone that needs masonry work. They were a pleasure to deal with."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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.

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

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.

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders.
