Questions and Answers

My gate is dragging on the ground and won't open smoothly. Can you fix it?

Yes, this is a common local issue we see often. Gate misalignment is usually caused by settling posts or worn hinges. We’ll inspect your gate, realign the tracks or hinges, and adjust the operator if needed. For heavier gates, we may recommend reinforced hinges or a concrete footer to prevent future sagging.

What is involved in installing an automatic gate opener for my driveway?

We install both swing and slide gate operators for residential driveways. The process typically includes mounting the operator, running necessary underground wiring, setting up the access control (keypad, telephone entry, or intercom), and programming the system. If you need cameras or keyless entry, we can integrate those as well. We also handle the electrical work and any required mobile welding for custom gate frames.

How do you weatherproof a wooden fence in Apple Valley's climate?

Apple Valley’s dry summers and occasional winter moisture can cause wood to crack or rot. We weatherproof by cleaning the fence, applying a high-quality stain or sealer that protects against UV rays and moisture, and ensuring proper drainage around fence posts. For existing fences, we also repair any rot or damage before sealing. This service extends the life of your fence significantly.
