"Do not use this company! I wish I had done more research before I hired them to take down my fence and replace it. The original fence was old, but it was definitely better than what they have done. When I first contacted Tiger Fencing for an estimate, the lady was very friendly. They came quickly and communicated that day with an estimate. I signed the contract which stated the day that the work was supposed to begin. Once the contract was signed, all communication stopped. The day that they were supposed to begin got closer and closer, and I didn't hear anything. I tried to contact them, but there was no communication. I should have canceled the job and gotten my deposit back when they didn't start on time. Unfortunately, I was polite and understanding. I never knew when they were coming to work or who they were sending There was absolutely NO communication. People would randomly show up to work, and then no one would come again for days. It was difficult to get any idea on when the job would be completed. The day they finally came to complete the job was my son's birthday. We already had a full day planned, and I wasn't home. When they "finished", suddenly I was being bombarded with messages and calls about submitting my final payment. I stated that I would be happy to pay once I was home and saw that the job was completed to my satisfaction; however, I would not be home until much later in the evening. Apparently that was not an acceptable answer. I continue to be harassed. The owner, Taylor, who had never communicated with me before and hadn't come to oversee the work, began sending some very unkind messages about how I needed to go ahead and pay. I reiterated that I wanted to see that the work was completed to my satisfaction. When I got home it was already dark out and it was later in the evening. The first thing that I noticed was that the old fence had not been cleaned up. There was still a large mess. When I let them know that I wouldn't pay until the old fence was cleaned up (I didn't consider the job completed), they told me that they were planning on coming that evening to get it cleaned up. It was dark so it was very difficult to actually see the fence, but I immediately noticed that there were several split boards. When Taylor came, he was very rude. He told me that I had forced those men away from their families to clean up my yard. (So apparently they weren't planning on coming to clean up the fence...) He stated that he has put up tons of fences, and has never had an unhappy customer. He was so unkind that he had me in tears. He said they would replace the boards, but my expectations were too high and that we had to pay that day. In hindsight, I shouldn't have let him bully me into paying at that moment. It has been 6 months, and the fence looks horrible! I was actually contacted after the job was completed by another neighbor, who also had a very bad experience with Tiger Fencing. we have several warped and broken fence boards. I hope I can help someone else avoid this situation."

Gate for driveway or security installations and replacements FAQs

Homeowners experience a few benefits with automatic driveway gates:

  • Insurance: Homes with security driveway gates typically get a lower insurance premium. The added security and decrease in risk of theft and vandalism are the main reasons for the lower monthly premium.

  • Property value: A safety or security gate can increase the value of your property by up to 5%. This hike in value comes from the device’s ability to boost curb appeal and increase security.

  • Security: Automatic driveway gates can also increase your property's security by keeping unwanted people and animals off of it.

Your driveway gate can open either inward or outward, depending on your property's layout and space constraints. Opening the gate inward toward your property is generally safer and preferred, as it prevents the gate from obstructing pedestrians or vehicles on the sidewalk or road. Some local regulations may require gates to open inward for public safety reasons. Consulting with your installer and checking local codes can help determine the best option for your gate.

In many areas, you may need a permit to install an automatic driveway gate, especially if it involves electrical work or changes that affect public access. Permit requirements vary by location, so it's essential to check with your local building department before starting the project. A professional installer can help you navigate the permitting process to ensure your gate complies with all local codes and regulations.

No, automatic gates are typically energy-efficient and shouldn't cause a significant increase in your electricity bill. Most gate motors are designed for low power consumption since they operate only when opening or closing the gate. Additionally, there are solar-powered gate systems available that harness energy from the sun, further reducing electricity costs.

Yes, all electric gates come equipped with a manual release mechanism that allows you to open and close the gate during a power outage or emergency. These safety features are mandated by industry standards to ensure accessibility for emergency responders. It's important to familiarize yourself with the manual override process and keep any necessary keys or tools readily available.
