Q&A

What types of automatic gate systems do you install, and how do they work with existing commercial properties in Ames?

We install a range of automatic gate operators and access controls—including sliding, swing, and barrier gates—for commercial properties like office parks near the ISU Research Park or retail centers along Lincoln Way. Our team assesses traffic flow and security needs before recommending a system, then handles wiring, sensors, and remote access integration so the gate works reliably with your existing setup.

How do you handle fence repairs after harsh Iowa winters, especially for wood or vinyl fences in Ames?

Iowa winters can cause frost heave, warping, or cracks in wood and vinyl fences. We inspect the entire run, replace damaged pickets or panels, reset posts that have shifted, and recommend weatherproofing treatments. Our repair crews are familiar with Ames neighborhoods near the Ada Hayden Heritage Park and can often complete repairs within a few days, ensuring your fence stands up to the next freeze-thaw cycle.

I need a fence for privacy around my home in northwest Ames—what material and height options do you suggest?

For privacy near areas like the Somerset or Northridge subdivisions, we often recommend 6-foot vinyl or wood privacy fences. Vinyl offers low maintenance and resists Ames's humidity, while cedar or pressure-treated wood can be painted or stained to match your home's style. Both come in several colors and styles, and we handle the full installation from property line assessment to final cleanup.
