"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."

"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

Making a homemade pallet fence involves marking out the fence line and leveling the ground along it. Then, install metal or wooden fence posts that you slide the pallets on top of (two posts per pallet). Fasten them together with 2x4 wood boards that act as an extra layer, keeping the pallet fence secure.

Fences made out of redwood, cedar, or pressure-treated pine are the most durable. These materials can last anywhere between 15 to 40 years so long as they are properly maintained. Make sure to clean your fence regularly and pressure wash once a year. After pressure washing, apply a sealant and/or fresh paint to keep it looking fresh.

You can reuse chain link fences as long as they’re in good condition. The best part—reusing it helps you make the most of the cost of a chain link fence. Whether you want to reuse it or consider asking someone to remove it for you in exchange for a free fence, it’s possible. If you can’t find a location for it in your yard, you can repurpose a chain link fence by donating it to a local animal shelter or community garden.

You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels. 

This depends mainly on how well the posts were installed and what type of wood was used to build the gate in the first place. Softwoods have a life expectancy of up to 15 years but can last slightly longer with regular maintenance and waterproofing treatments. By contrast, hardwoods can last up to 30 years with little care, so you may avoid costly replacements by spending a little more upfront.
