Get matched with top gate for driveway or security installers and replacers in Highwood, IL

"I had a new garage door and opener installed, and I'm happy I chose to use this company. Just about everyone was friendly and helpful, both in the office and on-site. The installation was done well. The installer had some issues, but other team members made things right. Overall, it was a good experience. One thing to note: it took about 3 weeks from the time the door was ordered until it was ready, but installation was scheduled quickly after that. I wasn't in a hurry, so this wasn't an issue for me, but it might be for someone else."

"The internal fence was well done. The fence around my backyard has become uneven and sinking in spots over time. In addition, due to the sinking neither one of my gates closes anymore and are no longer aligned. I’ve called several times to get this repaired and I’ve been told that there’s no repair crew. The only way they can service my gates is if they have a crew near my neighborhood doing work. This is not the first year that I’ve needed my gates realigned and fixed. The first time I asked, no one ever came out the entire summer. I had to call again the following year and finally had the gates realigned. Here we are two years later and the same thing is happening again. The only reason I gave them an overall rating of C instead of D was because the internal fence and gate is holding up OK so far."

"I received a few quotes from fencing companies. My husband and I decided to hire Flores Fencing. The quotes I received from the different fencing companies were pretty similar as far as cost but we decided to go with Flores Fencing because they were the only company that seem enthusiastic about getting our business. The other companies, which have been in business a lot longer than Flores Fencing, never even bothered with any form of follow up communication after they gave me the quote. Emanuel however, was great at communicating with me throughout the process and Wilfredo was great at addressing my questions or concerns about my project. The workers were efficient and after completing the installation of my fence and gate, they made sure they left my yard pristine. Wilfredo, who is one of the salesperson, came over to help the workers to make sure the work was completed in one day. He even took it upon himself to fix a gate that was not part of our project which he noticed needed a simple repair. The fence and gate they installed looks absolutely wonderful. I am so pleased! I highly recommend Flores Fencing!"

"I found out about this business through several local neighborhood chat groups. I have had nothing but the best rapport, support, design and install from Maureen and her team. They undertook a huge front and back yard project. We completed relandscaped the front of my 115 year old bungalow with a lush perennial garden (and added in some of my mature plants from elsewhere on the property). We carved out two huge new beds and they are chock full of plants I love. We did a complete gut of my hard scape in the rear yard, created a beautiful walkway and patio for my new pergola and a second for my dining table and relandscaped the entire backyard and expanded a huge sun loving perennial bed and added trees and some landscape lighting and a shade bed too. Simply stunning!"

"We have used Golden Fence a few times and each time I am never disappointed. They are professional, know their craft and will answer any and all questions you may have. Jose was out here today and completed the job in no time. Polite and did stellar work. Giovanni is excellent with his customer service and responds very quickly to any calls or emails. We love this company and feel so lucky to have had them work for our home. Kimberly D."

"This is a difficult review to write. Some of the work do​n​e by Welter Home Services was good and the handyman they sent didn't waste any time going between jobs​ on my list​. ​ The main work that was done well was installation of 2 shower grab bars​ and fixing a kitchen cabinet garbage can door that eventually broke after over 20 years of constant use. ​ Unfortunately, some of the work was ​totally un​acceptable and they do not stand by their work, even when notified within 24 hours​ of the work being completed. If they can classify it as a "repair", it's buyer beware! If it breaks again or you see something unacceptable 1 min after they pull out of your driveway, they actually expect you to PAY THEM to fix their own poor work! The work that was not at all satisfactory was the installation of weather-stripping on 2 doors and fixing a broken screw on my desk's keyboard drawer. It took 3 attempts to get the drawer (hopefully) fixed, of which I had to pay for 2 of the attempts. My front door is admittedly not the best and they did make it close easier (not on my fix-it list). However, in the process, they left such a large gap between the door and the weather-stripping that I could see sunlight coming in between the door and the frame. The handyman actually tried to tell me that I was just seeing the weatherstipping, but I guarantee you that I can tell the difference between sunlight that leaves a shadow and some light-colored weatherstripping! I have since installed some foam weatherstipping to stop the massive air leaks before the weather turns and it becomes too cold for the foam to stick properly. I ​paid t​hem almost $220​, and then had to fix it myself​! Adding insult to injury, when I called to complain about the large gap they left around my front door, the owner Kevin Welter told me twice that "he hoped I would be reasonable"! As a woman of a certain age, that sexist comment translates as "Just be a good girl and stay quiet!" Would he DARE make such a comment to one of his male customers? I will NEVER use them again - sexist or not - as I feel that anyone who does not have enough pride in their work to stand by it and fix something that is clearly unacceptable is just not trustworthy."

"In 2019, I worked with Freeman to replace an existing fence around my home. The fence itself is pretty nice and adequate for what I needed to do. However the gates and the latches have proven to be utter garbage. I have contacted the company countless times to have this issue addressed. One of their technicians told me that my gates were being damaged because my children and my wife did not understand how to work the latches properly. It is a gate latch,you should close it and it should close and be secure. I am literally the only person in my family who could close the gates because you had to lift them up because they were hung improperly. Fast forward to the beginning of May 2022…. I had already replaced most of the bolts on the latches because they were not installed properly, or they used bolts that were a quarter to a half inch long. The latching mechanism on one of the gates fell off at the beginning of the month, and I contacted the company about getting replacements. The lady I spoke with was very nice and very accommodating and seemed a palled at the quality of the workmanship. However I have not received a response since I contacted them and subsequently the side gate has become damaged in the wind multiple times to the point where there is one bolt holding on the bottom latch. If I could give this company zero stars for their product and customer service I probably would with all due respect to the customer service rep who seems appalled by this. The funny part of this whole story is, they installed a brand new fence for my neighbor and after assuring me that the latches they provided to my family were “the best on the market “they gave my neighbor the latches I had wanted. Will they ever come fix my fence??? If I could attach pictures of the latest damage I would gladly do so."
