"I needed deck repair and new railings. After my first contractor failed to complete the job and essentially ghosted me for more than a month, I hired Phelps Construction to do the work. Less than a week later, the job was completed and my deck looks great! Alex kept me informed of when work would be done and most importantly, when he said, "The work will be done Friday," the work actually got done that Friday! Highly recommend."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Dowie Fencing to install a new fence around my property, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Their team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled in their craft. The quality of the materials used and the workmanship exceeded my expectations. Not only did they deliver a sturdy and beautifully designed fence, but they also completed the project on time and within budget. I highly recommend Dowie Fencing to anyone in need of fencing services. They are a top-notch company that truly cares about their customers and the quality of their work. Thanks to them, I now have a fence that not only adds security to my home but also enhances its curb appeal. I'm a satisfied and happy customer!"

"We are having not only a wood privacy fence but also chainlink and several chainlink gates. We are also having our deck steps removed and reconstructed one foot over from their existing location as well as widened to 4â . The whole crew and office staff were very friendly and I would highly recommend this company to everyone!!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Split rail fencing is a type of post and rail fencing. Other post and rail fences include corral board and post and dowel. Post and rail fencing is the term used for any type of fence with vertical posts, horizontal rails, and nothing else (specifically excluding pickets). So, technically, a split rail fence is a post and rail fence.

In the vast majority of cases, chain-link fences are less expensive than wood fences. Installing a wood fence costs anywhere from 20% to 30% more than a chain-link fence, or an average of $3,100, whereas a similarly sized chain-link fence will average around $2,400. Even with add-ons and additional protective finishes, a chain-link fence is very likely to cost you less than a wood fence. The only exception would be a split rail wood fence, which can cost about half the price of a chain-link fence or less.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

The recommended height for a garden fence depends on its primary purpose. For pest control, the necessary height varies by animal. To keep out small pests like rabbits, a fence should be at least two to three feet tall. If you live in an area with deer, you will need a much taller fence, at least five feet high, to prevent them from jumping over. If the main goal is privacy, the fence should be at least seven feet tall. For purely decorative fences, the height is a matter of personal preference.

A chain link fence typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, but with proper maintenance, it can last for 30 years or more. To preserve the fence, it's important to keep the mesh wire tight, which can be done with a come-along tool every 6 to 12 months. Investing in a fence with a galvanized, powder-coated, or vinyl-coated finish can increase its lifespan to 20 to 30 years and reduce maintenance needs, as these coatings provide extra protection against the elements.
