"

Wes is a very hardworking individual. I was a little skeptical at first because the amount of work I was asking him to do seemed quite daunting to me, and the price was very reasonable. He more than exceeded my expectations. I had him remove several bushes and rock from the beds around the perimeter of my house. He also added new rock for me. It looks wonderful. I know he's super busy so he would show up when he could which is fine as I wasn't in a hurry at all, but when he was there he worked incredibly hard. I would hire him again in a heart beat. He's a really honest, hardworking person. I wish him all the best!

Thank you,







Chris Wilson

"We made the best choice in hiring Gene Dowie Fence Company, here’s why: 1) They did a great job with our fence and deck repairs. 2) They went above and beyond when it came to daily and final clean-up. 3) Gene attentively listened to what we wanted and demonstrated a refreshing ethical, easygoing manner that made it so easy to work with him. 4) Gene’s pricing and availability were by far the best."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on material quality, fence length and height, installation complexity, and customization choices, but they average $20-$40 per linear foot.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

The cheapest farm fences are typically wire fences, which cost less to install than traditional lumber fences. Barbed wire is one of the most inexpensive options due to its simple materials, making it a good choice for low budgets. It is suitable for confining docile animals in large spaces, as it provides a visual barrier and a mild deterrent. Other options like hog wire and woven wire fences are also cost-effective because they require less lumber than a full wooden fence. These types of wire fences are strong, long-lasting, and relatively easy to repair, though they are often considered less aesthetically pleasing than wood.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again.
