"We hired 2nd Street Painting for a garage ceiling repair project. The job included 1) removing and replacing damaged drywall, 2)installing screws to damaged seams, 3)taping, finishing and sanding drywall seams, and 4)priming and painting the repaired areas. BJ worked hard and efficiently to help hang the drywall on one of the days. Josh did the rest of the work and has my vote for being the hardest worker I know. He is efficient, highly-skilled, punctual, pleasant, and above all, kind."

"Absolutely great, very accommodating! When you want work done by someone you can trust and you want the job done right call Gary! I called him on Monday, he met with me on Tuesday and started working on Wednesday of the following week! I had him put a privacy fence up for me with an extra part fenced off for my dog, he did everything I asked and made sure everything was done right and built to last. I highly recommend calling GCJ Contracting for any work you need done."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A stockade fence is a common type of privacy fence. These fences consist primarily of side-by-side boards without any gaps, thus eliminating the possibility of anyone peeking into your property. Stockade-style fences also typically included pointed pickets on top for even more security. Other than these traits, stockade fences come in a wide variety of styles. 

Because this composite fencing and deck material is made from both wood and plastic, it’s more durable than either alone. It’s so popular for outdoor purposes because it really does stand the test of time. Heavy rain and high heat won’t greatly change its structural integrity; it can last up to 25 years in total with proper care.

The best wood for a farm fence is pressure-treated wood that will stand up to various weather conditions, animal contact, and moisture. Farm fences need to resist rot and damage, so choose a species such as cedar or redwood. The natural oils in these woods give them decay resistance, which also makes them ideal for other fence types, such as a wooden snow fence.

Generally, the height of your dog fence should be 3 times the distance from the ground to your dog’s shoulder. For most small breeds, a 4-foot high fence will be more than enough to keep them from jumping out. Medium-sized breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds will need at least a 5-6 foot fence to stay contained. Large breeds that are also excellent jumpers, such as Greyhounds, may need a 7-foot high fence. 

Deer can crawl under a fence if it has a gap of around 6 inches or more. Make sure to close all gaps at the bottom of your fence to keep deer out, and the bottom of the material should be tightly secured, or the deer will push right through it. As an added benefit, closing shorter gaps at the bottom of a fence can also keep rabbits out of your yard.
