"My fence was broken and leaning due to an overgrown tree and Javier was able to repair the fence where the posts had become loose and replace the section where the tree had been. He and Daniel did a great job at a very competitive price. That fence is now. SOLID! And they got it done very quickly so my back yard is now "party-ready" for the summer! This is the second time I have worked with Javier and he is reliable, inexpensive and does really good work."

"Finesse Fencing did an excellent job replacing my old back fence. Marvin’s team was very prompt in scheduling to examine my property, provided me with good options and presented me with a very fair quote for the job. On the day of the job, the team showed up on time and worked straight through until dark to get the old fence out and the new fence completely constructed all in one day! I highly recommend contacting Marvin to get your fencing job done by Finesse Fencing."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing wrought iron fencing will usually require a building permit, as do all types of fencing. Building permits for wrought iron fencing typically cost between $150 and $500, and the price will vary based on where you live and how much your local building department charges. You may also need to pay for a property survey if you’re installing wrought iron fencing on your property line. This type of survey can cost around $500, but it prevents issues with building on neighboring properties, which can be much more expensive in the long run.

While most homeowners aren't required to tell their neighbors that they’re putting up a fence, it's certainly a good idea to do so. Not only is it considerate to give neighbors a heads up about construction noise, but building a fence may limit your neighbors' access to their own backyards while building is taking place. 

It is almost always necessary to hire a land surveyor near you to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence—not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.

A stockade fence is a common type of privacy fence. These fences consist primarily of side-by-side boards without any gaps, thus eliminating the possibility of anyone peeking into your property. Stockade-style fences also typically included pointed pickets on top for even more security. Other than these traits, stockade fences come in a wide variety of styles. 

The standard height for a split rail fence is three or four feet. This height requires two to three horizontal rails, making it ideal for homeowners wanting a budget-friendly split rail fence. If you’re hoping to contain agile livestock or animals like dogs, geese, or goats, you may prefer to install a six-foot tall fence with four or five rails or a four-foot-tall fence with three horizontal rails. This will help prevent animals from climbing, crawling, or jumping through the rails.
