"By far the most responsive and professional contractor we worked with.  Rain and other factors changed the date they could complete the work, but I was kept up-to-date with the changes and rescheduling.  Very good job with the repair, sealing and painting, will definitely call them again the next time we need exterior work done.

"They showed up towards the end of the time window.  They were quick and did everything I needed them to.  They gave me a couple of recommendations for work that could be done to perfect my electrical system with a quoted price but they did not pressure me to have it done.

"We decided on Oasis to build our deck because the estimate was less than two other estimates and because the owner, Tommy Harper, showed an understanding of what we wanted and offered good suggestions for improving our design.   He was prompt in meeting with us and in providing an estimate.  The work started as soon as the permit was approved and was completed in 7 days.   The workers worked hard and were very efficient.   The deck looks great.     We highly recommend Oasis and would use the company again.

"They did a number of handyman things like hang blinds, install new bathroom sink top, medicine cabinet, and caulk, and a new kitchen floor. They did a good job at the actual work, but it seemed very expensive to me for what I got. They also cleaned up fairly well, but did leave a couple of foot prints on the window sills where they had hung the blinds (not sure why they didn't use ladders). There was also significant confusion about setting up the timing of the work (but once that was done, they were prompt), as well as considerable confusion over the final bill and what was owed. The work was good, but the logistics were confusing and problematic."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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. 

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

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.

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.
