"Nicholas is well respected business who truly wants the best for his customers. He shows up on time, he's prompt, has all the tools he needs to work with and he doesn't just take you through the motions. Every time I have used him he has given me an excellent service. Unlike some contractors who just want to get paid, Nicholas is not trying to rip you off, he gives you the best option and the price he gives you at the start is what you'll pay at then end, there aren't any hidden charges."

"Highly recommend Dave! We had kind of an unusual project (fixing a ceramic kiln) that several other mobile welders didn’t even want to look at. When he came to look at it, he considered the fix we asked for but suggested a longer term solution rather than the band-aid solution we planned on. Turnaround time and cost were both great."

Wrought Iron questions, answered by experts

You don't need gravel under metal fence posts, but it's always a good idea to add it in. Adding about six inches of gravel before you pour concrete will provide better water drainage, which can help to prolong the lifespan of your new fence and maximize its stability.

Pictures of the area where you want your handrail installed should help get an accurate estimate. You should also let your professional know how accessible the installation location is, and whether or not there is a pre-existing railing to remove. Also, before contacting the pro, take some time to decide what type of wrought iron you are leaning toward. 

Finally, have the overall length of your railing at the ready, so you can discuss prefabricated options versus custom-made options.

The most common height of a front yard fence is around 3 feet high, but it can vary depending on your zoning laws. If your fence is meant to create privacy, something closer to 6 feet or higher will do the trick. Most of the time, the highest fence you’ll see is 8 feet tall.

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. 

Installing a fence when the ground is frozen presents challenges, but it's possible with the right approach. First, mark and measure the fence line accurately. Use a power auger or manual post-hole digger to create holes in the frozen ground, ideally when it's less rigid during warmer parts of the day. Consider using pre-made fence post anchors or driving metal posts into the ground. Ensure posts are secure with concrete for stability. Allow extra time for the concrete to cure. Additionally, be cautious of frost heave, which may affect post-alignment. Installing in milder winter conditions is often more manageable.
