"The only problem I saw was the barb wire was not straight on a 30 foot section and the dirt around a few of the posts was not packed right. The price was pretty good and they did the job the next day after estimate. One of the workers was kind of rude to me after the job was done? all in all I may hire them again but will get more than 1 estimate next time"

We will make any project our best project.

"Horrible communication. Delayed work for months which cost us a lot of money. Brandon and Detailed by Design are not upfront about costs and their ability to complete projects on time. We met with the owner Brandon to address all the issues and finally agreed to a resolution which would have still been a loss to us however he reneged at the last minute and did not pay to replace the old furnace he tried to pass off as new. If you choose to use this business, check all receipts on "new" appliances they say they installed. We reported this business to the Department of Labor because of the shoddy work in installing the furnace and because the furnace was old when we paid for a new furnace. The dept of labor confirmed they were not licensed to install the furnace. We paid for a new furnace ourselves and a licensed contractor to install it. Overall a lot of issues and an absolute nightmare. We are still working on recouping some of our costs from this business."

we build decks and wood fences ,repairs,post replacement ,stair additions,railings,

"I called and asked a question about posts holding up my back deck, as to what needed to be done with them before they were covered up partly with dirt. Troy got back to me within minutes with a text explaining what was needed depending on what kind of posts they were. Then he informed me he was booked up for the rest of 2018. You can bet I'll contact him again if I need to do anything with the deck next year. I was impressed that he got right back to me even if it wasn't going to mean business for him."

FAQs for gate for driveway or security installation and replacement projects in Shafer, MN

Installation timeframes vary based on gate complexity and site conditions. Basic manual gates require one to two days when site preparation is already complete. Automated systems often need additional electrical work and testing time, potentially extending the project to three or more days. Weather conditions, special permits, or custom features may further lengthen the timeline.

Regular maintenance helps extend your gate's lifespan and ensure proper operation. Wood gates need periodic sealing or staining to prevent weather damage. Metal gates benefit from rust prevention treatments. For automated systems, inspect motors, hinges, and electronic components regularly. Lubricate moving parts according to manufacturer recommendations and promptly address unusual noises or operational changes.

Most standard homeowner's insurance policies include coverage for permanently installed structures like security gates under the property's dwelling or other structures protection. However, high-value automated systems might warrant discussion with your insurance provider. Some policies may offer liability coverage if your gate injures someone, but specific terms vary by insurer and policy.

Security gates can be adapted for sloped driveways, though installation requires specialized planning. Swing gates need level ground, but professionals can implement custom solutions using adjustable hinges or modified designs. Sliding gates offer another alternative for inclined surfaces. Professional assessment is recommended to determine the most appropriate configuration for your specific gradient.

Well-designed security gates incorporate emergency access provisions. Many localities require gates to have override mechanisms allowing first responder entry during emergencies. Options include Knox boxes (secure containers holding access keys), manual release mechanisms, or specialized access codes. Consult with local fire and emergency services about requirements before finalizing your gate design.
