Is it worth it to stain a fence?

• <div><p>If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-a-kitchen-remodel-increase-home-value.htm">kitchen remodel</a>, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. </p></div>

How long do glass fences last?

• <div><p>Glass has one of the longest lifespans of any fencing materials, lasting anywhere from 10 to 30 years on average. Just how long your glass fence lasts depends on several factors, including how well you maintain your fence, the climate, and the type of glass you use. </p><p>If you live somewhere with severe weather like hail, tornadoes, or hurricanes, expect your glass to have a shorter lifespan. Pool glass is one of the thickest tempered glass materials and may last longer than other options—especially compared to laminated glass.</p></div>

Q: How much longer will a fence last if it is stained?

• <div><p>Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-wood-fencing-last.htm">help your wood fence last</a> 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You&rsquo;ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if there is a wolf in my yard?

• <div><p>If you come face-to-face with a wolf in your yard, chances are it will be afraid of you as a human. Make eye contact and get big&mdash;waving your arms to increase your size. Use noisemakers or air horns if you have them, or throw a few rocks around to discourage them from approaching you. If all else fails and the wolf does not retreat, back away slowly while maintaining eye contact and find safe ground, whether indoors or up a tree. </p></div>

Q: How high should fence pickets be off the ground?

• <div><p>Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.</p></div>

He was on time and professional. He cleaned both of our fireplaces and cleaned up afterwards. We were renters at the time and now own our own home and will call him again. We need a new fence as well and thinking about calling him for an estimate.

They are very good with animals. They are very expensive. My dog has cataracts on her eyes, so I asked how much it cost to remove it and I was told $1500. I thought it was outrageous.
