Q: What's the difference between a black chain-link fence and a galvanized chain-link fence?

• <div><p>While picking a standard chain-link fence might be your first instinct, that metal can easily rust over time, making your space look not-so-great. Black chain-link fences are a simple and affordable way to fence in an area of your yard and are also less prone to showing rust than traditional galvanized steel chain-link fences. Plus, black chain-link fencing is a more unique option that can look very striking and elegant when installed properly. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a fence?

• <div><p>If you hire a fence installer for the project, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-fence.htm">time it takes to build a fence</a> is about 20 to 30 hours. Tackling the project yourself will take around 40 to 50 hours. It can take longer if you need to obtain permits, level the ground, remove the old fence, or remove a tree.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Should fence post concrete be above ground?

• <div><p>Ideally, your concrete should set slightly above ground at an angle sloping away from the fence post. This will add extra support and allow water to run away from the wood fence post. Keeping water out will help prevent wood rot. Additionally, you can add soil on top of the concrete for a seamless finish. </p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my fence?

• <div><p>If 20% or more of your fence is damaged, pros will often tell you that it&rsquo;s a better use of your money to replace the fence entirely. Severe rotting and insect damage always call for a replacement. However, if you&rsquo;re just dealing with a few loose posts or a little bit of mildew growth, you can repair the fence.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a floor jack to remove fence posts?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use a floor jack to remove fence posts. Attach a stem to the base of the fence post so you can position the floor jack underneath. The stem can be a scrap piece of wood attached with nails or a sturdy nail itself. Put the jack beneath the stem and push the lever to lift up on the fence post and remove it from the ground.</p></div>

"Joe was awesome in getting my fence in within my timeline and my budget. He was quick to come out and provide me a quote. While there were some delays mostly due to the permit process and the weather, Joe kept me informed on the progress. I was happy to have the fence installed during the winter before I move into my new house! Thanks Joe and team!"
