"With Optimiz3 Construction everything was everything I hoped it could be. I appreciate Jordan's prompt responses and no nonsense professionalism. I sent out a request to have a new fence built in my yard and only Jordan at Optimiz3 followed through professionally and responsibly. None of the other contractors that I contacted or contacted me were able to respond as kindly, professionally and respectively. In just 3 days Jordan was able to conceptualize and built my new fence in a manner that exceeded my expectations. The price was good and the value is outstanding! My fence is amazing and Optimiz3 Construction is amazing. Thank you very much for all your hard work. Jordan at Optimiz3 Construction can be your one and done call for your construction needs."

"Ingacio performed the work as agreed. He takes pride in his work and has a lot of knowledge in regards to iron gates. He was very carefully with the leveling tool to ensure the gate aligned well for closure. He removed the weld on one hinge and re-welded hinge. He also welded on a wheel with adjustable spring on the bottom corner of the gate to support the weight of the gate. He also took an extra step to lubed the hinges on the gates even though it was not included with estimate. The end result job is my locks on door function well and gate doors close properly."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

A fence gate can sag for several reasons. The issue often stems from the hardware, such as damaged or bent hinges, or loose screws that can no longer support the gate's weight. The gate frame itself might also have come out of square due to failing supports. Alternatively, the problem may not be the gate but the supporting fence post, which could be leaning or out of place. In many cases, fixing a sagging gate is as simple as tightening the hinge screws or upgrading to more robust hinges.

To effectively keep animals out of your yard with a fence, choose a fence that anchors to the ground to deter digging. Also, consider adding a barrier below the fence to prevent burrowing. 

To make your yard less desirable to animals, eliminate food sources like a vegetable garden, and ensure your garbage cans are sealed and tamper-proof. Installing motion-activated devices like lights or sprinklers will startle animal intruders. Also, a fence won’t work well if you forget to keep gates closed and secure. If you still face persistent animal intrusion issues, contact a wildlife control expert who can offer specialized solutions.

If 20% or more of your fence is damaged, pros will often tell you that it’s a better use of your money to replace the fence entirely. Severe rotting and insect damage always call for a replacement. However, if you’re just dealing with a few loose posts or a little bit of mildew growth, you can repair the fence.

The lifespan of a picket fence largely depends on its material. Wooden picket fences typically last 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance, while vinyl and composite picket fences can last 20 to 30 years or more due to their resistance to weather, rot, and pests. Metal picket fences often exceed 30 years, especially when properly coated to prevent rust or corrosion.
