In addition, we also install high-quality aluminum and vinyl fencing along with composite and vinyl decking. For the builders and customers who want to "do-it-yourself" we offer custom beams, timbers, and reclaimed lumber. Our primary service region covers Central Illinois. We are a third generation fencing company with our roots tracing back to the early 1940's. Brooks Creek strives to offer the finest products at affordable prices.

"We have used Brook's Creek on two different fencing jobs. The first was an aluminum fence for our dog 40' x 100' in the back. The second was a cedar fence down the property line. The crew chief was the same on both jobs and he, as well as the workers, were very professional as well as working fast and continuously. They cleaned up after the job and helped with the dirt removed from the post holes. I highly recommend this company! I have recommended this company to 3 of the neighbors in our addition and all there have purchased fencing from them."

I have been a general contractor for 15 years now owner and operator of hoyt construction for 1 year now. I have done everything from new home construction to finishing carpenter. I can do drywall, flooring, tile. I can do fencing, decks, sunrooms and even full kitchen remodels. I have always told myself to do every job like I would if I was working in my own house. I think that's what sets me apart from other construction companies. I have always said I can also beat anyone's price almost every time.

Free computer drafting with general knowlege of design. I have 30 years experience in building houses. I am familiar with local subcontractors. I can get any job done at a reasonable cost.

"The work was done properly and when some additional jobs were added, Mr Grant went out of his way to get subcontractor's in to fix the added jobs promptly. I was very happy with the results and would recommend Steven Grant Construction to anyone who needed a prompt quote and a properly done job. He took the extra steps to finish my job within the quote so I stayed on budget."

Gate for driveway or security installations and replacements FAQs

Homeowners experience a few benefits with automatic driveway gates:

  • Insurance: Homes with security driveway gates typically get a lower insurance premium. The added security and decrease in risk of theft and vandalism are the main reasons for the lower monthly premium.

  • Property value: A safety or security gate can increase the value of your property by up to 5%. This hike in value comes from the device’s ability to boost curb appeal and increase security.

  • Security: Automatic driveway gates can also increase your property's security by keeping unwanted people and animals off of it.

Your driveway gate can open either inward or outward, depending on your property's layout and space constraints. Opening the gate inward toward your property is generally safer and preferred, as it prevents the gate from obstructing pedestrians or vehicles on the sidewalk or road. Some local regulations may require gates to open inward for public safety reasons. Consulting with your installer and checking local codes can help determine the best option for your gate.

In many areas, you may need a permit to install an automatic driveway gate, especially if it involves electrical work or changes that affect public access. Permit requirements vary by location, so it's essential to check with your local building department before starting the project. A professional installer can help you navigate the permitting process to ensure your gate complies with all local codes and regulations.

No, automatic gates are typically energy-efficient and shouldn't cause a significant increase in your electricity bill. Most gate motors are designed for low power consumption since they operate only when opening or closing the gate. Additionally, there are solar-powered gate systems available that harness energy from the sun, further reducing electricity costs.

Yes, all electric gates come equipped with a manual release mechanism that allows you to open and close the gate during a power outage or emergency. These safety features are mandated by industry standards to ensure accessibility for emergency responders. It's important to familiarize yourself with the manual override process and keep any necessary keys or tools readily available.
