"The crew that did the paving work were excellent.  The job required some tricking draining installation as the back yard slopes towards the house.  Work was performed when promised and only took 5 days to remove existing deck and replace with pavers including the wall, bench, and fire pit, and 35 foot path to the stairs leading to the upper deck.  The upper deck work was then performed and its quality exceeded my expectations.  It is probably sturdy enough to park a car on top - before I considered it too dangerous for the grand kids to use.    The work was done when the ground was still wet so they had to bring in some topsoil to repair the yard damage.  They also repaired all of the sprinklers they damaged during construction.  The deck drains just fine and all of the sprinklers work.
While the main work was completed in the estimated 3 weeks time, the electrical installation was delayed due to their electrician moving on.  So final payment was made with some with held to cover that cost.  The electrical work was performed while we were out of town and they did not hook up the low voltage system and one of the low voltage lights was not coming on.  The job supervisor also moved on so after several calls I simply completed this part of the job myself.  The company never asked for full payment and were very compassionate when my mother passed away - sending a nice flower arrangement.  The company is local and uses locally produced pavers of high quality.    While there were some minor completion issues, I would recommend the company without hesitation based on the quality work they performed.  We did not get other bids so I am not able to comment on their pricing, but I could not be more pleased with the work performed.

"I highly recommend John. He is a true craftsman. We had him rebuild our 12 year old rotted fence and he built an excellent quality fence exactly as requested. We also had build a deck and his work is truly remarkable and outstanding. He is also a very nice person!! I expect that I won’t be dealing with replacing either the fence or deck again in my lifetime. If you need an honest straightforward and hard working guy, John is definitely the person you’re looking for. Cannot say enough about his quality an highly highly recommend him for your next deck of fence projects. Thanks again John!"

Gate Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:

  • Have you worked with my gate material in the past?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?

  • Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.

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.

Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added sliding gate mechanisms, which can go out from frequent use.

You don’t need a permit for an automatic gate in most cities because it isn’t a structural change to your home, but you need to check. A pro can help you with this and since we don’t recommend installing an automatic gate yourself, you should already be in contact with one, making this a frictionless question. Outside of permit requirements, you need to consider your homeowners association (HOA), as some are against gated homes.
