"Great experience, the fence only took 1 day for them to complete, once approved by my HOA. Build team even came out with a metal detector to locate my property line (rebar) in the ground, that way my fence line was maximized. The deck look great too, only took them 2-3 days to complete a 10'x 20' deck, about 10ft off the ground. Passed permitting with my county and now I can enjoy my yard freely."

"My kitchen sink was leaking water and was clogged, so I hired J&A to fix the problem. The technician came to my home and fixed the leaking part of the sink problem, but was unable to clear the clog because the problem was more than he had the equipment for. That part of the problem required a snake to fix the issue. They offered to come back and fix the clogging problem, but at the time I couldn't have them do it. They did do a good job at replacing the leaking hoses under my sink, and solved that part of my problems.

"I found Sky Home Improvements through Angie's List, and gave them a call.  They returned my call the next day and were prompt in getting to my home to assess the problem and give me an estimate. Dan went up on the roof and took pictures that he showed me to help me understand what was causing the roof to leak and what needed to be done to fix it.  Along with the estimate, Dan gave me a folder which contained Job References, copy of his Contracting License, and a copy of Certificate of Liability Insurance. The following day Dan and Chuck were back and fixed the roof.  They arrived on time, and after they finished the repair, took time to explain again what was done.  Dan and Chuck were extremely polite, professional, and knowledgeable. I will definitely call on their expertise for any roofing work that needs to be done in the future."

"These guys are professionals! They work efficiently and are time conscientious. They are perfectionists with their work and they even custom built a gate for me. I have had many people ask me for their number to have their own fence just from seeing mine as they pass by the house. They are very responsible and respectful. Could not leave a better reference!"

"Firstly, our stair rail is gorgeous. The interactions with Michael who fabricated the rail and Lauren who handles their administrative details were professional and timely. They were so friendly and warm and so easy to work with that I asked for a stack of business cards to tell my contacts about them. Beautiful rail, beautiful experience. Would rate them as a 10 on scale of 5!"

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, professionals offer motorized or remote-controlled shutters for convenience and security.

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, 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 most common cause of gate sensors not working is damaged wiring. Only a professional should diagnose this because it requires working with the system's electronics. There are safety concerns, but more than that, you don't want to accidentally short out your system or cause any electrical damage. Insects, rodents, and fallen branches are common reasons your wiring could become damaged. 

Automatic gate openers last around 10 years, but this time span depends on several external factors, like the type of gate they're attached to and how well you’ve kept up with general maintenance. Despite lasting a decade, you should still expect to complete one or two repairs in that time, as some components will fail before others.
