"HnY were recommended to us to consider when we wanted to install a Fence. we would highly recommend this company to anyone. Mike discussed our needs, and made some suggestions in order to not only comply with HOA Rules but to achieve what we wanted. He adjusted the plans again when changes were required. Sergio and Jesus, our installers, worked extremely **** ** the day of installation. They were courteous, extremely respectful and talked us through a few technical fitting issues that arose."

"I recently hired Homefree Fences to install a wooden privacy fence, and they were fantastic! Their communication was super clear, and they gave me a straightforward quote and timeline. The fence they installed is not only sturdy but also looks great. What really impressed me was their friendly and customer-focused approach. If you're looking for a new fence, Homefree is the way to go!"

"We had an excellent experience with Kanter Fence Company and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality fencing work. From the first call, Nick and Dylan were extremely professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They came out quickly to provide an estimate, took the time to walk the property with us, and explained all of our options without any pressure. Their pricing was very fair and everything was clearly outlined before the project started. What really stood out was the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The fence lines are perfectly straight, the posts are solid and secure, and the gate they built operates smoothly and feels extremely sturdy. You can tell they take pride in doing the job the right way instead of cutting corners. The finished product completely transformed our yard and looks fantastic."

"Paul and his team are second to none. Hands down the best fence builder and custom wood worker around. Not only did he build the most fantastic fence, but he also built a custom mailbox and custom closets on the interior of my house... I could not love this crew more or feel more confidence when I refer them out over and over again."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a fence is between $1,800 and $4,500. However, the price can vary significantly based on several factors. For a small DIY project, costs could be as low as $450, while fencing a large property like a 5-acre yard can exceed $43,000. Key factors that influence the total cost include the fence's size and height, the material used, the complexity of the design, site preparation needs, and any additional features like gates. The cost of raw materials, manufacturing, and custom fabrication can also impact the final price.

Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.

The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.

If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.

Proper installation can make a big difference in your fence's maintenance needs. For example, wood fences that aren't installed correctly can be more likely to rot. While it's possible to DIY a fence installation, hiring a local fence company can mean much less work for you in the long run. 

A professional fence installer will make sure your fence is positioned correctly and installed in a way that ensures longevity and limited upkeep requirements.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
