"From start to finish we had good service. We had some amazing guys that installed the fence. They worked very hard to get the job done and they were very nice. I had to call the office sometime later about my gate and received a quick response. I also referred two of my daughters there for their fences."

"THANK YOU to the two men who replaced my fence six posts and a section of pickets yesterday. They worked well together. They listened to me before and after their work. They worked steadfastly through the morning. Much appreciated here. If I were their employer, I would keep these men."

"The quality of work was excellent and the fence looks great. I went with the higher grade fencing which is extra sturdy and built to last. After getting quotes from the “big names” in fencing, it was a no brainer to choose Osborne. Highly recommended! Keep it local and support the home town businesses."

"

I contacted HMR and asked that they provide me with an estimate to remove my existing chain-link fence and install a six foot vinyl privacy fence.  They showed up the same day and gave me, what I considered to be, a very reasonable price to perform the work and provide all the materials. (Much lower than the others)  So I chose HMR.

They scheduled me for the following Saturday.  They arrived at 7 a.m. as scheduled and were finished that afternoon.  I was very impressed with their knowledge and willingness to clean everything up afterwards.  If you're considering a new fence, I would definitely recommend these guys!

"Overall I am quite pleased with the job Dennis and his men did.  It took a bit longer than expected (approx. eight working days versus four expected), but the delay was because the job ended up being more difficult (angled deck board placements) than anticipated, and the quoted price stayed the same.
Not all of Dennis' workers always seemed like they were sure what they were doing (had trouble with basic construction math on a couple of occasions), and it seemed he has trouble getting some to show up on time (although this could just be my perception...maybe they were at other jobs in the morning?), and that may have had something to do with the delay as well, but I'd rather the job be done right (it was) than fast.
The workers were always pleasant to talk with, kept the work area straight, cleaned up well after the job was done, and took extra time to make sure the deck was completed in the way that I wanted.  I will definitely be keeping GCS on my list of contractors to call when I need future work done.

"He put in a light ballast that no one else could do. He replaced trim as well. They did great work and they were pleasant to work with. They were there for about two hours and did awesome work. I would use them again. They had all the equipment needed with them."

"The project was delayed a few months due to all the rain and unforeseen circumstances but we weren't in any terrible rush so it wasn't a big deal; plus they were very nice about it and kept us up to date. The deck was done in PT wood with bronze balusters all around and the diagonal pattern on the floor and the landing. Conyers took only four days to take down the old deck and put up the new one and it looks FANTASTIC! They did such great work and such a reasonable price! Two of the people that worked on the construction, Matt Conyers and Josh made sure we had our questions answered and did a great job explaining what they were doing. I cannot say enough how courteous these two guys were as well as Larry Conyers, the owner.  When the project was finished, we had a few questions and the concerns were taken care of with no problem the very next day. I would recommend this company to a friend for sure and probably will have them do more work in the future. It is such a beautiful deck and turned out so much better that we could have imagined, especially since the diagonal floor pattern makes it look bigger!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a fence can range from 5 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, local climate, and how well it is maintained. For example, a wooden fence might last 7 to 15 years, while a vinyl fence typically lasts 20 to 30 years. Metal, composite, and glass fences have some of the longest lifespans. Proper maintenance, such as regular cleaning, inspections, and staining or sealing for wood, is key to extending the life of any fence material. Vinyl and composite are durable options that don't require sealing.

The standard height for a split rail fence is three or four feet. This height requires two to three horizontal rails, making it ideal for homeowners wanting a budget-friendly split rail fence. If you’re hoping to contain agile livestock or animals like dogs, geese, or goats, you may prefer to install a six-foot tall fence with four or five rails or a four-foot-tall fence with three horizontal rails. This will help prevent animals from climbing, crawling, or jumping through the rails.

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.

Traditional bamboo fences use twine to attach pickets to posts and stringers, but you have to keep an eye on the twine, as it will deteriorate over time. Alternatively, you can fasten bamboo pickets to framing using fence screws.

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

  • Long lifespan with proper maintenance

  • Very durable

Cons
