"Toby and his crew were extremely efficient at installing our new fence. Not only did they do a beautiful job, but they offered great recommendations on how best to layout our fence in accordance with our lot. The entire crew was so extremely professional and accommodating, taking extra consideration for the fact that we had dogs who were having their backyard playground intruded upon :) They were so polite and considerate. I felt very comfortable having them at my home. Toby kept my husband and I updated as the project progressed and he delivered a product over and about our expectations."

"After our chimney area developed a leak, I had a chimney specialist inspect the chimney chase cover and caps which were ok. He concluded the leak was from the roofing around the chimney and recommended Merv for this type of repair as it requires expert technique and experience to fix a leak of this nature. Merv and his crew were fantastic, arrived on time, worked hard, and made a high-quality repair. Clean-up was pristine. Merv is very easy to work with, returns calls or texts, and explains things very well. He has earned my trust! Merv (MSW Construction LLC) will definitely be my first choice for future projects and/or repairs - I highly recommend them."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:

  • Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.

  • Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.

  • Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.

  • Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.

A board on board fence is more expensive than other types of privacy fences. That’s because these fences require overlapping boards, which drives up material and labor costs. On average, a board on board fence costs 30% more than an average wood fence.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

Yes, installing a picket fence is a manageable DIY project for homeowners with basic tools and some patience. The process involves marking the fence line, digging post holes, setting the posts, and attaching horizontal rails and pickets. However, precision is key to ensure the fence is straight and sturdy, which can be challenging for beginners. If the fence line is long, the ground is uneven, or you’re working with more complex materials like metal or composite, hiring a pro may be a better option.

A silt fence should be buried in a trench that is 6 to 12 inches deep. A depth of at least 6 to 8 inches is necessary to prevent water and sediment from running underneath the fence. A deeper trench, up to 12 inches, provides better anchoring during wet and windy weather. To ensure proper installation, look for a red line on the silt fence fabric, which often indicates the correct burial depth. Always adhere to local guidelines and regulations; a professional contractor will be familiar with these requirements.
