"It went as well as I could have hoped. I found a photo of the garage I liked on his FB page...we wanted something that would match our house built in 1940, and the photo I found on his page couldn't have been more perfect. Dustin showed up on a Saturday with his crew and built the entire thing from scratch in a day and a half. Cleaned up after themselves when they were finished. Overall, he did an amazing job and as a result I am the envy of my neighborhood. Would highly recommend.

"bathroom walk-in shower remodel???- I would highly recommend American Handy Hands to anyone. They did a walk-in shower for me for my disabled husband and then actually ended up doing more updating while they already here working. Dustin Collins was great at coming by and getting me a quote on my job and within a few days of the quote they were ready to start the job. The guys (Mike, Robbie and Jay) and Daniel (ceiling repair), I could not have not asked for any greater guys to have done the job. Everyone was a true blessing to me and my husband. I have already talked to Dustin about more jobs I am looking forward to him doing for me in the very near future. If you are needing anything done, please do not hesitate to give American Handy Hands a call. I don?t think you will be disappointed."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.

Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.

If the fence is on one neighbor’s property, that person is responsible for repairs, regardless of who benefits from the fence more. The other neighbor must keep trees and other obstacles from crossing the property line and affecting the fence. If the fence is directly on the property line, though, who owns a shared fence? Many states have laws that address this issue. Typically, the two property owners would share responsibilities and costs for fence maintenance and repair. You may need a property line survey to precisely determine ownership and responsibility.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

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.

The best vinyl fence style for your yard depends on your needs, form and function-wise. For example, a classic vinyl picket fence in your front yard helps contain kids and canines while offering views of your neighborhood. But a more expensive privacy fence creates a secluded backyard oasis for family gatherings. Opt for a ranch-like post and rail vinyl fence if you want to carry on your rustic farmhouse vibes.
