Questions and Answers

How often should I weatherproof my fence in St. George to prevent sun damage?

Given the intense sun and dry heat in St. George, we recommend weatherproofing your wood fence every 2 to 3 years. For metal gates, powder coating or a fresh paint/stain treatment every 3 to 5 years can prevent rust and fading. Our weatherproofing services help extend the life of your investment and keep it looking good against the local landscape.

Can you convert my existing manual gate to an automatic one, and what access control options do you offer?

Yes, we specialize in manual-to-automatic gate conversions. We can install a new operator, wiring, and sensors to make your gate open with a remote, keypad, or smartphone. We also integrate access control systems, automated entry systems, and video surveillance for added security. Whether it’s a residential driveway or a commercial entrance, we’ll match the right system to your needs.

What do you do if my automatic gate stops working in the middle of the day?

First, check if the gate has a manual release (usually a pull cord or key) so you can open it yourself. Then call us. We handle automatic gate repair for all makes and models. Since we know St. George, we can often get to you the same day. Common issues include a misaligned sensor, a dead battery, or a worn motor. We’ll diagnose and fix it quickly so your security isn’t compromised.
