"I had a great experience with Woodford. They gave me the best quote and were able to tackle the project within my time frame. They cleaned up after themselves and didn't cut any corners. Would definitely recommend!"

"Huffman United Methodist Church had a very difficult Fence project to cover all of our HVAC units. We have 14 units that are on ground level and 6 that are on the roof. Masters did a wonderful job of protecting these units. They had to install a fence on top of a walled enclosure with a gate. Because of the difficulty of this project required us to wait for them to engineer the way to best install this fencing. Great job. Would highly recommend this company."

"Highly Recommend!!! It’s hard to find a company that is honest, keeps their word and does a job excellently but we found that in Birmingham Residential Fencing. Our back gate in our fence has been broken and instead of charging us for a completely new door and gate, they worked to figure out how to repair the one we have, saving us money! For any fence repair or plans for fence replacement we will always use them and recommend them to others!!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Do you need a permit to build a fence if you are simply replacing an existing fence? Whether you need a permit in this case depends on your local laws and regulations. Most municipalities consider a fence replacement project as being equal to building a new fence, so you likely will need a permit. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to see if you need a permit. If you hire a local fence contractor, this pro can take care of obtaining all permits for you.

The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about 6 to 8 feet between posts. However, if the fence is particularly high or you live in a very windy region, you might want to space them closer together for better stability. A fence pro can help you decide on your post spacing. 

To effectively keep animals out of your yard with a fence, choose a fence that anchors to the ground to deter digging. Also, consider adding a barrier below the fence to prevent burrowing. 

To make your yard less desirable to animals, eliminate food sources like a vegetable garden, and ensure your garbage cans are sealed and tamper-proof. Installing motion-activated devices like lights or sprinklers will startle animal intruders. Also, a fence won’t work well if you forget to keep gates closed and secure. If you still face persistent animal intrusion issues, contact a wildlife control expert who can offer specialized solutions.

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.

Pallet fences come with built-in support through the fence posts you should install on each side of their vertical interior. Stand the fence upright and slide it onto the fence posts, then further support it with 2x4 wood boards that you drill across each point where two pallets connect side-by-side.
