"Barkley communicated well during the process of picking out the butcher block countertop and installation. The work was done to our specifications and installed without a hitch. If you are looking for a butcher block countertop, he is your man. I highly recommend!!"

"Ken and his team did a very good job, and went above and beyond for me. It was a 4 day job. They drove 30+ minutes to my house everyday and were here just about from sunrise to sunset for those four days to get the job done. Ken did extra work such as painting my metal chimney cap to match the color of my roof per my request at no extra cost. He also repaired a hole in the roof of my car port which was not part of the roofing I was getting replaced at no additional cost. Also one thing that Ken offered that nobody else did in my area, was to schedule an inspection one year after the install to ensure everything is going good, and that everything still looks good, which shows me his dedication to doing good work. I was very happy with the work Ken and his team did, and would hire them again in a heartbeat."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Wire fences are generally the most inexpensive type of farm fence to install, especially compared to lumber. Barbed wire is one of the cheapest options due to its simple materials, making it a good choice for low budgets and for confining docile animals in large spaces. Other options include hog wire and woven wire fences, which are strong, long-lasting, and relatively easy to repair. While wire fences require less lumber and reduce overall project costs, they are often considered less aesthetically pleasing than traditional wood fences.

You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence to keep it from falling down. Sandbags can be used as a standard weight, but they may blow away or fail in strong winds and inclement weather. Spikes and bolts are a cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative, but drilling can be difficult if the ground is frozen, too soft, or too hard. Another option is wind braces, which should be bolted into the ground to withstand turbulent wind; however, like spikes, they can be challenging to install in very soft or hard ground.

Most homeowners don't need to inform their neighbors before constructing a fence, according to the law, but you will need to make sure that you’re building on the property line or on your side of the property line. Otherwise, the neighbor could complain, which would require you to tear down and reinstall the fence. In any case, keeping them in the loop is the neighborly thing to do!

Whether you inform your neighbors or not, always use property records and a land survey to ensure your fence stays within your property boundaries.

There are many types of wood fencing that you can choose from. For split rail fencing, the most common wood types are cedar, pine, black locust, and chestnut. The best wood for you will depend on if you like the way a certain wood looks and the availability of the wood type in your area.

Most of the wood types you can find at your local home improvement store are good choices since they all have rot-resistant properties or are pressure-treated with pesticides. If none of the wood options speak to the look you’re going for, check out vinyl fencing.

Hedges are a better financial investment for a home than fences in several ways. First, hedges are less expensive to install than fences. Fence installation costs $1,775 to $4,600, depending on the type and size. You can also choose to plant smaller and less expensive hedges, knowing that it will take longer for them to mature. Next, mature hedges add resale value to the home, meaning the cost savings get even better when it's time to sell.
