"It was a pleasure to work with Ariel and GMD Builder. They responded to our request and scheduled a site visit promptly. We needed a quote and recommendations for installing a metal railing for a ~60' long curved staircase from our back door to the garden and pool area above. GMD gave us several options for both function and aesthetics. They were great in listening to our thoughts and coming to a good solution. They were flexible, reliable, and honest. We would use them again."

"Ariel transformed our home with his beautiful iron railing. We had old wooden balusters that did not fit the style of our home. After first meeting with Ariel and going over the look I was hoping for, he made a sample to give me an idea of what the new railing would look like. The quality of his sample was amazing and he listened to exactly what I wanted. The railing came out even better than expected!"

"Try Valley was very competent and promptly installed a lovely fence. We plan to hire them to stain the fence and I suspect they will do a fine job with that as well. We recommend them."

"I had a great experience working with Ron and Juan. We met and discussed my ideas. They demoed my old patio and slab and build a beautiful new one. There was ongoing communication throughout the process, very appreciative. I would use them again. I'd highly recommend contacting Ron and get a quote."

"I had found Honeydo through Angie's List and called to discuss if this was something they would do. Steve gave me an idea of their cost over the phone and we made an appointment for the work to be done. Steve came out a few days before to review what was to be done, look over the plans that I had drawn up and gave me a "ballpark figure." They showed up this morning with all their tools, supplies, etc. and started to work. They demolished a redwood deck (that was not being used, and the integrity was questionable), and recycled the wood into building me raised planter beds for a future veggie/flower garden on the site of the old deck. Steve and his workers were great! They stuck to the job and finished in less time than expected. The workmanship is great and it is exactly as I had envisioned it. It doesn't look like much now, but once the beds are filled and planted, it will be terrific. They cleaned up the area before leaving."

"Feliciano did an outstanding job on our home improvement projects! I could not be more pleased!! Feliciano is not only a credit to his profession, he is an extremely humble and professional individual. He carefully listens and assesses your request(s) and offers sound recommendations and input. For example, the steps on our staircase were very badly worn and the wrought iron railing was extremely faded. Feliciano sanded, and stained the stairs with a beautiful finish! And … sanded, repainted the black wrought iron railing! And … installed a wooden black hand rail on the opposite wall! I am beyond thrilled with the final results! Installation of the vinyl flooring in the main living area, kitchen and 1/2 bathroom was a challenge due to uneven foundations. Feliciano was able to use some leveling compound to correct this problem. Our floors look wonderful! He and his team were on time, hard working, accommodating, respectful of our family, our schedules, our home and property and always cleaned up before leaving for the day. We plan to use Feliciano when we upgrade our main bathroom and patio project! Thank you Feliciano! Great job!!!"

"The company called to let me know the person they were sending was a little delayed.  That was thoughtful and appreciated.  He arrived just a little bit later than scheduled.  The worker was good, polite and professional. 
It would have helped to been given a list of materials needed prior, as the worker and I had to go to the lumber yard together.  Someone else mentioned that, but I had no idea what to buy.  And probably the person doing the repairs needed to eyeball it as well.  But that time was included in the time allocated for repairs.  We went to the closest place not the least expensive place.
The worker was quiet, thorough, and replaced the rotted wood with new.  That was during the summer, and I have not had any problems (although it has been a rather dry winter.)

Wrought Iron questions, answered by experts

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:

  • Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.

  • Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.

  • Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.

  • Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.

This depends on where you are placing the iron railing. If you are installing a railing along a staircase, it would be a good time to conduct any necessary repair or maintenance jobs to the staircase itself. If you are throwing the railing up surrounding a deck or porch, deal with any persistent issues with said deck or porch. If you or a loved one needs a bit of extra help getting in and out of your house, this could also be a good time to install a disability ramp.

When looking at natural wood fences, you have several options other than cedar, namely: pine and redwood. Compared to cedar, redwood fencing has a deeper, red-brown color, better durability, and a higher price tag. Pine, on the other hand, is one of the most affordable types of wood for fences, but it requires the most maintenance out of the three and has the shortest lifespan.

Deer can crawl under a fence if it has a gap of around 6 inches or more. Make sure to close all gaps at the bottom of your fence to keep deer out, and the bottom of the material should be tightly secured, or the deer will push right through it. As an added benefit, closing shorter gaps at the bottom of a fence can also keep rabbits out of your yard.
