"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!!"

"The Barnes Family Fencing motto is treat you like family and they live up to it well. Got the estimate on the same day I called and his was the lowest. Casey measured and adjusted 4 times to insure I got the fence I was paying for and wouldn’t dig the first hole till I was satisfied. Quality of the fence is top notch! Very satisfied with Barnes Family Fencing. I felt like I had hired my favorite cousin to install my fence."

"Great. They were very professional. I never saw any of the workers just standing around. They all work hard. They made any adjustments or changes without a glitch. They were here to install a new fence. When they were doing the fence we inquired about a very small job to get our granite counter top squared. They said no problem. They got the necessary sander and fixed the counter before they completed the fence. Great people. We will be hiring them again for any future work. They are a building contractor that does more than just a fence. We will be using them for all our contacting needs. And not to forget, price was reasonable. You won't go wrong if you hire these guys."

"These guys are amazing. They did have to push the install back 2 days due to vehicle maintenance issue. However, the timely communication from them was outstanding. I am 100% satisfied with their work and the fact that due to the minor delay, they brought in more workers to complete a two day job in just one day."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.

Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.

You’ll need to bury the garden fence about 1 foot underground. It’s tempting to save on materials by burying the fence just a couple of inches, but if you do so, determined pests will still be able to dig under the fence and access your plants. Burying your garden fence deep into the soil is an important step that allows you to attach a wire barrier to the fencing. 

Burrowing animals (like voles, moles, rabbits, and gophers) can’t dig or chew through this wiring, meaning that you’ll be keeping your prized petunias or your robust veggie garden from being eaten.

While most homeowners aren't required to tell their neighbors that they’re putting up a fence, it's certainly a good idea to do so. Not only is it considerate to give neighbors a heads up about construction noise, but building a fence may limit your neighbors' access to their own backyards while building is taking place. 

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. 

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
