"We thought we only needed a few trim boards and soffits, but then soon realized we had some more serious issues to complete such as a total re construct of our breezeway, new roof on the garage, moving of a metal garage, and rebuild of a garage wall. All was done in a timely manner and within our budget. Vinnie checked in with us daily on the progress, and he was excited as us to see the final results. He also did some landscaping as well as add a very sturdy front porch. We look forward to hiring him for more upgrades in the spring."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on installing a security door.

However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.

Yes, most services include safety checks and anchoring to ensure stability. Confirm with your provider.

Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or automatic gate openers. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Features include automation, intercoms, keypads, and decorative elements. Custom options enhance security and style.
