"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!!"

"Asa came out the same day I called him and was able to start the same week. He arrived on time and spent his time working quickly. He replaced the bottom foot of drywall in our basement and matched it very well to the rest of the walls. He repaired a rotted door opening and painted to match. He also fixed various drywall cracks around our windows upstairs from leaks and house settling. I was very pleased with Asa's professionalism, efficiency, and the quality of his work."

"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"

"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."

"Greg did some things quite well & others rather poorly. Purchased 16 hrs service thru the Big Deal, which turned out to be Greg & his assistant for one day. The asst repaired damage to the plaster caused by the earthquake; work was done really well. Greg installed 4 light fixtures; did very good electrical work. However, 2 of the fixtures were on walls that the old fixtures had covered that the new ones did not. Greg tried to just paint over those areas, but they really needed to be filled in with spackle or plaster first. He also put up a shot glass case on my wall. He suggested using screws that would really hold the cabinet in the wall, a good idea, but it is noticeably crooked. Asked Greg to install a new drain plug, because I didn't want to risk scratching newly resurfaced tub. Well, he scratched it anyway & then failed to install the new fixture, throwing the old (apparently rare) one away. Plug is so unique that I haven't been able to replace it. Can't use tub since."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

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.

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

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.
