Price

What drives the cost of gate installation in Trenton

  • Opening width and gate height
  • Material: wood, vinyl, aluminum, steel or chain link
  • Single, double, rolling or cantilever design
  • Whether gate posts need replacing
  • Hardware grade, locks and pool-code hardware
  • Automation prep or opener installation by other trades
  • The age of the home: the typical Trenton home was built around 1960, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Trenton

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Trenton was built around 1960. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

50% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Trenton building department before work starts.

Compare quotes

How to compare gate installation quotes

  • Tell every bidder the opening width, material and swing direction.
  • Ask what post size and footing depth they use for gate posts.
  • Ask what hinges and latch are included and their load rating.
  • Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
  • Get a warranty on sagging and adjustment in writing.
