"I paid $349 to get two painters to come to my house and paint for 8 hours (each), so I was concerned when I got an early morning call saying that one painter was sick, so I'd only be getting one painter. I was a little worried that I wouldn't get my "money's worth." But a sweet young man named Victor arrived right on time, worked quietly and professionally all day long and finished the job. The rooms look great. So I guess I really did get my money's worth. The job was very well done."

"Handy Home Repair did an excellent job with everything! They did a lot of work on our backyard, from pouring concrete, building a large garage/shop, leveling the entire yard, and building a privacy fence. The crew was not only personable, but also able to complete all of the tasks in about a week and a half, which was a huge plus for us. They worked from 8 to at least 6 nearly every day to make sure that we could have the construction complete in a reasonable time-frame. Everything was built with quality and we are so pleased with how it all turned out. Randy also made sure to come and check on everything after a week or so to make sure we were still pleased, which I personally greatly appreciated. We will definitely continue to use Handy Home Repair for future projects."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The most durable metal for a fence is wrought iron. With proper care, a wrought iron fence can last for centuries. This means regular resealing to stave off rust and corrosion, especially in coastal climates with salty sea air. In these environments, chain link and corrugated fencing tend to stand up better to the elements with fewer maintenance needs.

If you hire a fence installer for the project, the time it takes to build a fence is about 20 to 30 hours. Tackling the project yourself will take around 40 to 50 hours. It can take longer if you need to obtain permits, level the ground, remove the old fence, or remove a tree.

You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.

You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you’ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn’t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You’ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. 

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.
