"Jose and Ray did an excellent job in restoring sections of our cedar fence around our backyard. When Jose stopped by to assess the old fence to give us a bid, he was focused, caring, and intent on doing the best job we could have. He paid attention to details, obviously knew what he was doing. Ray and Jose recommended quality materials, were professional and also happy to give us their best work. We had another bid which happened to be a little less, but Jose impressed us immediately with how much he cared about the project he was being asked to do. They arrived early each day, ready to do a full day's work. The challenge of a neighbor who hadn't cleaned up his side of the fence didn't deter them; they cleared the area without charging us anything extra, and while respecting the neighbor's property. They removed and hauled away old fence and gates, installed full 4x4 pressure-treated posts every 8 feet, 2 feet deep in concrete, and added decorative/ enhancing boards after checking that we wanted them for a slight additional fee. The project was completed in 2 days plus a few hours: 100 ft. length of old fence removed, 110 feet of 6 ft tall cedar installed, as well as three other sections of 6 ft tall fence removed and installed. It looks beautiful, is sturdy, and the gate latches are easy to operate. Jose and Ray are professional, easy to talk to, and we highly recommend them."

"I have been using them for 3 years for multiple projects and would not go to somebody else. They also built a cabin in the woods. It was built 10 miles from the road so it was like carrying all the stuff up the path. They also did the garage and remodeling of the house, mostly kitchen and a little bit of plumbing work in the bathroom. I am still using them and I would be using them for the next thing that will be coming up too."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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 obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

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.

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.
