Learn more about installing a gate on your property.
Here’s what you can expect from us:
Initial Consultation
We take our time, ask the right questions, and listen carefully to understand what you need.
Free On-Site Consultation
We meet you on-site to get measurements and better understand what we need to do.
A Full Quote
We include the preparation and installation details plus descriptions of the gate parts, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
We Go to Work!
Once you sign off on the quote, we’ll ask for a 50% deposit and begin construction of your gate. A typical residential driveway gate installation takes 4-6 weeks from the date of signing. That includes:
- Planning the project and preparing the gate site;
- Constructing masonry pillars or installing steel posts;
- Digging trenches and driveway cutting for electrical components;
- Installing your gate or fencing;
- Installing electrical components, cameras and intercoms.
We Take Care of the Details from Start to Finish
We want you to feel comfortable and confident that you’re getting the driveway gate you want. It’s why we do the little things every step of the way.
After the on-site consultation, we’ll get back to you within 2-4 business days with a complete quote. We’ll show you scale drawings of your gate, so you know how it will look.
We’re open to discussing amendments to make your vision a reality. We’re also happy to discuss partial quotes if you wish to do part of the driveway gate installation yourself or plan to hire an outside contractor.
From our straightforward design process to prompt service after installing your gate, you can count on us for smooth reliable service at every stage.
We Stand Behind Our Products
As proud as we are of our gate installation, we’re just as proud of the service we provide after installing a new driveway gate.
Our gates and installation come with a comprehensive 2-year warranty on parts and labour. If there’s a problem, we’re there for you.
Our maintenance teams are also available 24/7, so we’ll get your gate up and running in no time.
“We bought a home with an existing gate that needed some repairs. We reached out to Peter, and his team got our gate functioning smoothly again. We then decided to install a new gate on the back half of our property. The design process was straightforward and made easy by Peter and his team. The new gate was installed and wired in a matter of days and has been functioning flawlessly since it was installed. Peter has provided prompt service when we’ve needed it and has been a pleasure to work with. ”
