Commercial Month

Gateway has been busy this month with an extraordinarily large amount of commercial jobs.  We are pleased to say that many of it has been out of the state.  We are excited about our growth in this area.  We continue to work with our residential customer base and appreciate all the repeat business that we have had with our current customers.  We have so many customers that have a fence installed one year and then down the line, they move and need a new fence or repairs on the existing fence.  It says something about Gateway that we would be called on again to work with them.  With all the commercial jobs that we have been seeing in previous months, I'm would like to think that what we hear is true-the economy is turning around. There is definitely building that is going up in our community.

One more week until Halloween.  Hope that everyone has taken precautions to keep our children safe.  Have a safe and happy Halloween.

Fence Decorating Ideas

Happy fall to all!!!  The weather is getting cooler and the leaves are turning.  The thought of a hot apple fritter is delightful and the smell of pumpkin fills the air.  The children are getting excited about the candy and costumes they will enjoy on Halloween.  If we haven't started to decorate for the season, ideas are bouncing around in our head.  Some of us decide to decorate for the season of fall while others choose to decorate for Halloween.  Our neighbors would love to see our homes decorated in the festivities of the season.  We all want to steer clear of the tacky decorations that are out there.  What are some of our options?  Wreaths are a great idea to hang on your fence sections.  You can make wreaths out of leaves, pine cones, twigs, and those small pumpkins.  Once the leaves start to change, this would bring beautiful color to a wood colored background.  Those small decorative flags are an easy way to dress up a section of the lawn.

Most of us really enjoy looking out our windows into our neighbors yards and see the extra things they do to dress up their properties.  Get out there and try out some new decorating ideas of your own.

Welcome to Fall

Fall is here.  The leaves are changing, the weather is getting cooler, and the we are pulling the sweaters out.  For many of us, this is a time for football, apple desserts, and early holiday shopping.  I love to get up to the high country for the day and look at the leaves that are so beautifully painted in all sorts of colors.
Winter is right around the corner, and my job is to remind you that this is the time to weather proof your fence.  Wood fences are most vulnerable in the upcoming weather.  Help your fence weather the winter with a fresh coat of stain or paint.  Replace any loose nails.  Make any necessary repairs that you may notice.  Replace any old, rotted, or broken rails.  Gate adjustments will help ensure that the post won't warp as easily.  These repairs are important for the life of your fence.
Contact Gateway Fencing for any repair materials or hardware that you may need.
