We spent a significant sum on a custom gate system installation. We paid in full before the punch list was complete. That was a mistake. Company is now unwilling to fix punch list items, was generally very abrasive and accusatory while discussing, and is now non-responsive. We are left with an inoperable gate and had to engage a different company to repair the installation work completed by this company. Would not recommend. There are several other highly Yelp rated gate companies that are better options.

Report
They were subcontracted to install a large metal & wood swing gate by our landscape company, Terra Firma. Overall it was high quality work but getting any sort of response or service since then has been impossible. A year ago, after 4-5 phone calls & reschedules, they sent a technician to service the FAAC gate arm (the gate stopped closing fully). The same issue cropped up again, and again, it took multiple calls to garner a response. They requested I send a video proving the gate didn't close and a CC before they would send a technician. 2 weeks have passed with no update. Avoid.

Don't even bother! Ordered a gate from these clowns, paid 25 grand for it. Come to find out they used particle board which stands up to weather terribly. I paid extra for them to install it. Haven't seen them since they delivered it. Won't even answer my calls.

The gates are decent and overpriced. Led by an owner who inks he's the best, but can't build anything himself and will insult his own staff right in front of customers.
