Which type of fence lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Galvanized metal, vinyl, and composite fences are known to last the longest out of all types of fences. These fence types will last well over 30 years with proper care. Galvanized metal doesn’t attract pests and has a special coating to better withstand weather. Vinyl and composite materials are pest-resistent and will withstand harsh weather for many years. </p></div>

Do metal fence posts need concrete?

• <div><p>Whether metal fence posts need concrete depends on the environment and the ground they're placed on. For thick earth and areas without significant weather or high wind, you can get by without concrete, but in areas with weak dirt and strong seasonal weather, it's a good idea to install a concrete base on each individual post. This increases the cost but not as much as replacing or reinstalling the fence would. </p></div>

What are the pros and cons of wrought iron fencing?

• <div><p>As with any project or material, installing wrought iron fencing has advantages and disadvantages. Some pros and cons of this fence material include:</p><p>Pros</p><ul><li><p>Long lifespan with proper maintenance</p></li><li><p>Very durable</p></li><li><p>Aesthetically pleasing</p></li><li><p>Functional as well as decorative</p></li></ul><p>Cons</p><ul><li><p>Requires regular maintenance and cleaning</p></li><li><p>Expensive compared to other fence materials</p></li><li><p>Limited privacy</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What additional tasks should I consider undertaking concurrently with the installation of an iron railing?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Does a horizontal or vertical fence cost more?

• <div><p>When comparing them side by side, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/horizontal-fence-vs-vertical-fence.htm">horizontal fences cost more than vertical fences</a> but they do tend to be more durable. Since the majority of fences feature vertical pickets, a horizontal fence offers a more distinct look. On the other hand, horizontal fences may not always make the best privacy fences since the rails could have slight gaps.</p></div>

"Summit Fence and their employees are phenomenal! My project was initially discussed, clarified, estimated (price), confirmed in writing and scheduled to begin in a very reasonable amount of time. I was expecting to have to wait much longer and was pleasantly surprised that I was not having to wait as long as other contractors were estimating. Our job lasted one more day than originally thought, however, considering that the employees had to hand dig near buried utilities in order to avoid any costly damage, I was not bothered in the least with this delay. It was to be expected and appreciated. We were always notified when they arrived in the morning, and the foreman/supervisor (Ryan) made several visits to oversee that the project was being completed according to plan. Communication was NEVER LACKING with this company!!"

Devil Mountain Landscape (DML Fence & Deck Company) #1121449 started in Danville, CA in the late 80’s working with a local Nursery Company, Developers (Commercial) and Single Family Homeowners (Residential). The Company officially went independent in 1993 and continued through present day. Commercially we contracted for entire sub-divisions to install all the front yards to individual homes along with the access points and entrances to include large-scale Country Clubs (e.g. Blackhawk C.C.) as well. In 2003, we established State-wide Contracts with Insurance Carriers to Repair & Install Fences (Wood, Iron & Vinyl). In 2010, we began to expand our offering into Block Walls (Masonry & Retaining). In 2017, we became a Preferred Vendor for Construction Loans with U.S. Bank and built several homes in the South Bay (Los Gatos to Gilroy) from $1.5M to 3.0M. In 2019, we migrated to the Sacramento area focusing on Detached Garages and Granny Homes under 1,200 Sq. Ft. We offer extreme diversity to limit the number of Sub-Contractors necessary for any project while maintaining high quality and competitive pricing, so you (the Homeowner) end up with your vision of what your property should look like at a reasonable Cost. We have multiple licenses: C-13 (Fencing), C-27 (Landscaping) & B (General Building). As of today (2025), our focus is primarily Fences, Decks and detached Garages/ADU's. We will consider custom projects that incorporate those skills!

"Scott and his son did a fantastic job building a 100 foot plus split rail fence for me. Scott was responsive and very professional throughout the process. He met with me right away at the job site, submitted a reasonable estimate and installed the fence as soon as he got the ordered materials. I'd use him again!"
