"I had a very unique job of hot tub removal of an indoor and in ground unit. Josh was great about getting it out and faster than I thought was possible. He was very courteous about making sure any mess was cleaned up at the end of each day and safe for my dogs to be around. I am very happy to have that old nasty hottub out of my house and the new flooring looks great! Will definitely be using him again in the future for other home renovations."

"These boys were so good to us and have gained some lifelong customers! We had a long project with a lot of unexpected hidden issues popping up along the way, and we had to pause the project partway for some personal reasons, but they were kind rolled with every punch! We’ll be using them for years to come and recommending them to friends and family."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Customization options include coatings, privacy slats, and incorporating colors or ornamental elements to enhance aesthetic appeal.

Ideally, your concrete should set slightly above ground at an angle sloping away from the fence post. This will add extra support and allow water to run away from the wood fence post. Keeping water out will help prevent wood rot. Additionally, you can add soil on top of the concrete for a seamless finish. 

You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you’ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn’t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You’ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. 

You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence to keep it from falling down. Sandbags can be used as a standard weight, but they may blow away or fail in strong winds and inclement weather. Spikes and bolts are a cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative, but drilling can be difficult if the ground is frozen, too soft, or too hard. Another option is wind braces, which should be bolted into the ground to withstand turbulent wind; however, like spikes, they can be challenging to install in very soft or hard ground.

There are pros and cons to vinyl fencing. The drawbacks are that it can be expensive up front compared to options like chain-link fencing and that it’s vulnerable to fading. The material is difficult to repair without replacing entire panels or the whole fence, and you can’t paint over vinyl to change the color. However, this material is impressively durable and easy to maintain, making it a good choice for many homes.
