"FD General Contractors were so nice, professional and Davis and Franklin were so accommodating. When they finished installing the fence they made sure I was satisfied with the work they did, and they did an excellent job of cleaning up when done. I would highly recommend this company."

"Significantly more than just a Deck..... A deck, patio, Steps, Stamped Concrete, and Vinyl Fence. Basically an 84ft branch fell from my neighbor's tree and destroyed my entire back yard. The rebuild project was done in stages and from sketches on paper to finishing touches Tyler was incredible. His communication skills and patience was appreciated as this multi-project endeavor was also a huge learning expierence for my wife and I. Not just in design, but quality of materials and techniques were discussed in detail. In the end, we have the backyard we have always wanted for what we like do."

"Mike is very prompt and does an outstanding job.  He was willing to move furniture before painting and then moved it back when finished, he even rehung the curtains.  He did minor repair work on the walls before painting and was very particular about the quality of the job.  He is amazingly quick, but his work is flawless.  Mike is very conscientious and wants to please the customer.  We already have other jobs we want him to do."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.

The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.

If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

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.

The depth of the fence posts depends on the height of your fence. If you’re installing a 6-foot fence, then digging 2-foot-deep holes for the fence posts will help ensure a secure installation. However, if you’re installing an 8-foot fence, the posts will need to be deeper than 2 feet to support the structure properly. Also, consider how far apart the fence posts should be to provide adequate support.
