"Overall, the project looks good. Where they missed the mark was in relationship to the cleanup. I asked them to come out and pick the remaining concrete and dirt left over from the project. Responded that it wouldn't be until the following week. If I would have waited that long, my grass where the concrete and dirt was left behind would have killed it. In addition, the crew left dirt piled up against my A/C unit where it had leaked into it. Overall, it took me only an hour and three large buckets of dirt and concrete to clean up, but it seems that this should have been part of their efforts. Spoke with Alex and was disappointed in his lack of response / urgency in getting the issue resolved."

"How did it go? Not well. Sales guy said we did not need replacement and only quoted a repair. When the carpenter showed up and said it needed replaced, not repaired but they could go ahead do the lower deck and fence stain while they were there. I came home that day to find stain dripped down the driveway and splattering my grille and pool cleaner covers ( which were no where near the fence or deck) and the top rail of fence was not stained. I was also peaved that they damaged a hose connection when they apparently used my pool fill hose to spray something down after staining. I contacted Shane and he had Wade the satin guy come out and power wash the stuff off the driveway, but they were not able to remove stains on the grille cover nor the pool cleaner cover. About 10 days later the carpenter returned with the wood to replace the pergola. The carpenter and helper did a good job. They took two days to tear out and replace. Wade returned after a few more days to stain that new wood and touch up scrapes left by the carpenter' ladder. I immediately noticed where parts of the new work did not get stained. With the stain being dark brown and the wood being pressure treated Yella wood it really stood out to me. The unstained areas were easy to reach and easy to see from the deck. It looked like he just forgot to hit those spots. I reported that to TBS. The admin assistant said she would speak with crew and the owner and get back to me. Two or three days after no response I contacted the office as they were sending final invoice for the work again. The lady I spoke with had Wade call me and he explained that he was going to take care of the grille cover and touch up work. I explained that it needed to be done ASAP and I was not happy that they left me in the dark thinking they were not going to follow up. He said he would not be back anytime soon as I was 2 hours from his house, but could return the following week. A couple days later I got the invoice notification again and i contacted them to say I can pay the invoice when they get the work completed or they can pay me $350 to finish it for them. A week went by before I got a reply that said the owner would like to accept my offer to finish it myself. So, I had to go buy some Behr and brushes and finish it after all. Now I'm left feeling that this contractor lacks quality control. If the sales guy came out after the work and sort of inspected it with the crew before trying to collect the invoice they would probably catch this stuff themselves and prevent the back and forth BS we endured. If they knew somebody was coming out to QC their work they might be more careful. And yes, I did contact Rocky. He said the hose they damaged was old and rotted anyway ( like that was the issue) and claimed I did not give them a chance to make it right. I guess it's too late now. caveat emptor"

Specialist in Automation of Driveway Gates and Garage Doors. All payment types accepted upon completion of service.
"The installation of our new gate opener was completed to my complete satisfaction. I am extremely happy with the installation and operation of the new system. Their tech was very thorough and gave me an excellent walk through of the installed hardware and operation of the system. The planned date and time of the install was spot on as agreed to. I am pretty picky and I could not find anything in this implementation to complain about. The job was very well done."

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.
