"Working with On Guard Fence was a great experience. The quote was competitive, and the expected install date was sooner then any other company. Tony was quick to respond to texts, and the fence was installed exactly how I requested. Tony did a follow up call after the fence was put in to make sure I was happy with the end product, and I appreciated that gesture. Since working with On Guard Fence I have recommended them to both family and friends."

"Ergeon does incredible work. From the virtual estimate, to the fence install, the team kept me updated. We had an old cyclone fence torn down, and a 6’ vinyl fence installed all the way around our home, along with a driveway gate and side gate, and it was installed in one day! The process was smooth, and the work is outstanding. Frank, our Project Manager was super helpful and friendly, and his install team was courteous, quick and efficient. I recommend this company to anyone looking to install a new fence!"

"Robert from Mending Fences recently replaced and reset a few posts in my fence, and I could not be happier with the results. The fence is now incredibly solid and looks better than ever. Roberts attention to detail and professionalism truly stood out. If you need any fence work done, make sure to get a quote from him chances are youll go with Mending Fences. Highly recommend!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Mr Garcia who is the owner was more than accommodating. He responded quickly and my fence was repaired to my specs within 1 week of the original request and quote visit. He did an excellent job on my chain link fence which was in pretty bad shape after years and years of use. The final test will be how well the gates hold up over time. So, more to come. Did I say he took time to match and paint the chain link so there is zero work left for me to do."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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. 

The most affordable metal fence type is wire at just $3 to $5 per linear foot. Wire fences come in a variety of styles and do a good job of marking perimeters and keeping animals in or out of certain areas. While they’re very easy to install and repair, many homeowners find them unattractive, and many homeowners associations won’t allow them.

A fence installer or homeowner should place a snow fence upwind of the desired drift area, while keeping the prevailing wind direction in mind. When installing a snow fence, its posts should be sturdy, as they will be the weakest areas in terms of tensile strength. Posts should be buried at one-third their height and placed no more than eight feet apart.

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

As with any project or material, installing wrought iron fencing has advantages and disadvantages. Some pros and cons of this fence material include:

Pros
