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

"These guys are really good professionals. The owner, Jeff Athanas came out to give me a quote. In addition to the work I requested he noticed some loose boards in my neighbor's fence and offered to throw in the replacements of these boards to make sure the yard is secure to a pet. We had a miscommunication over the removal of a bush that had grown into the fence adding unbearable weight and Jeff made a trip back to saw off the many limbs that were entwined in the fence. I would hire this company in a minute for any future fencing needs."

"Sandy Diamond (son of the owner) met with us initially and was very personable and really took the time to ask (and answer) questions to understand the style of fence we'd like. He gave us two addresses to look at before making our decision and they were beautiful. We had the work done in May of 2021 during their annual sale and we received a quote that was either better or very competitive with two other companies we received quotes from. Sandy was very responsive through the whole process and even showed up the first day of install as well as the 2nd (last) day to see how the finished product came out. The crew who did the work were very polite and efficient. We had a small issue with the front gate fitting too tightly about a week after install. I spoke with Sandy and he had the crew back out within a couple weeks (I told them it was not an urgent issue) and it was fixed within an hour. The fence is beautiful and has made out backyard a haven this summer."

"Americana did excellent job installing our fence. Our sales representative was Mike Joudeh and he was very honest and caring. The girls in the office were amazing as well as our installation team. From beginning to ending everything was perfect. I would highly recommend Americana to anybody who needs a fence . Great job."

"Rick was very professional and timely. He came out on the morning he said he would and replaced and repaired the posts as discussed during his initial estimate visit. He was in contact with us through the entire process. I would certainly recommend him to all of my family and friends. Great guy to work with!"

"I was a little hesitant at first because of the mixed reviews but we did use Northwest several years back for our fence at our home in Geneva. That experience went so well we decided to use them again. The price was very fair, the scheduling was quick and easy and the installation was performed timely and professionally. Job well done."

"Jeff Winton and crew at Aspen are great to work with. Quality work and fair price. Last year, they installed a three-rail red cedar split rail with galvanized welded wire and three gates for our backyard (about 1/2 an acre) in a day-and-a-half."

"I purchased the deal on Angies List for $349, which was to include materials - including tile up to $2/sq foot for 40 feet. I was told by Tom in advance that it would be $200 to remove and then reinstall the vanity and the toilet. This seemed excessive to me, but not wanting to deal with the hassle of it, and since the BigDeal was such a good deal, we agreed to that. The Big Deal said that it included replacement ceramic tile up to $2/sq. foot (or $80 total.) I inquired about how we were supposed to pick the tile, and Tom said to purchase it ourselves and we'd get an $80 credit from him. When Tom arrived at the house he said that he had neglected to mention that the $80 for tile was actually an allowance for all of the materials, and the cost of the mortar and grout (and any other materials) already totaled more than $80 so no credit for us on the tile. I paid special attention to the cost of the tile when I was purchasing it to make sure we stayed within the $2/sq. foot because that what was included. I found that to be a bit annoying, especially since he and I had emailed about it before I purchased the deal...but I figured it really wasn't a big deal. I asked him if he would install a small backsplash around the vanity after reinstalling the vanity. (I had some extra mosaic tiles from tiling the shower, and they were already cut into strips.) He agreed, but didn't mention anything about an extra charge. When he was finished, he asked for $60 extra for the backsplash.
He completed the work quickly; and it looks good. He showed up on time, and worked hard. Overall, he did a nice job. I even asked him for a quote to replace our kitchen back splash, but we decided to do it ourselves.
The deal was a good deal - and I'm pleased with the overall project. But Tom didn't communicate well about extra fees, and what was included and what isn't. He made a comment that the extra fees were to make sure that he makes something on the job. I certainly don't want to take advantage of anyone. I think that this is the result of a poorly structured deal on Angie's List for the purpose of drumming up some new business. I would be very careful when discussing pricing with Tom.

"It took a while for them to come in, they were very busy. We paid more than the big deal because we didn't want the bathroom they wanted; we wanted to pick out our own stuff. We purchased all of the material ourselves and just asked them to do the work and then, we paid them. They did it very professional job; it was really a nice job. They were meticulous and made the bathroom get more beautiful.

"Quick response and turnaround time. I needed work done quickly and they made it happen.Good work. Was a little messier than I would've liked (clean up afterwards), but it won't stop me from calling again for other jobs."
