Q: How long does a wood fence last?

• <div><p>The average lifespan of a wood fence is 15 to 20 years, but some can last for 40 years or more depending on several factors. The type of wood is crucial; for example, untreated pine may only last 5 to 10 years, while pressure-treated pine can last up to 20 years, and cedar's natural resistance can extend its life to 40 years. Other factors include local weather conditions, with wet and windy climates causing faster deterioration, and the quality of maintenance. Higher-end wood, metal posts, and privacy fence styles also tend to last longer.</p></div>

Q: Is fencing included in the cost to pressure wash a house?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-pressure-wash-house.htm">cost to pressure wash a house</a> ranges from <b>$200 to $400</b> and unfortunately does not include fencing. That service will be an additional charge of between <b>$150 and $350</b>, depending on the size of your fence and the type of material it&rsquo;s made of. This also applies for other services like pressure washing a patio or deck. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a wattle fence?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How can I protect my pets from coyotes?

• <div><p>The best way to protect your pets from coyotes is to ensure they are always supervised when outside, especially during dawn and dusk when coyotes are the most active. When walking your dog, keep it on a short leash and carry something noisy you can use to haze any coyotes you may encounter.</p></div>

Q: What wood is best for a picket fence?

• <div><p>While cedar and pine are two of the most common wooden fence materials, everything from redwood to bamboo is also available. You can also purchase pressure-treated wood, which better withstands water damage and the threat of pests. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-pressured-treated-pine-popular-fence-posts.htm">best wood for your fence</a> will come down to your budget, local climate, and preferred look.</p></div>

Showed up on time. Took the time to make ever job right.
Projects were worked on over a number of months, one at a time.

The best and most honest tradesmen I've ever found.
We moved to Texas in January of 2014. We whish Brady could have come with us.
I've found some good (and bad) people to work on the Texas home. But no one who comes close to the quality of work done by Brady Brower.
