Service Doctor is a full service Design/Build Contractor. From Conceptual Design and site selection, to building construction and maintenance services. Our company is locally owned and operated. The owners, Randy Ralls & John Reittinger, work on the job site each and every day. Although we began as a bathtub resurfacing company, we have expanded to include almost all home improvement needs. Our employees have expertise in many different aspects of remodeling—the company does almost every thing under the roof, inside and out!

"Perhaps I should be precluded from participating here - but Service Doctor has done several projects both residential and commercial for me and always delivers quality work on budget. To be forthright, Angie is my wife- Service Doctor did several projects for me and my business long before we were married. She takes her work very intensely; she carries it home with her, she accepts phone calls at night and over the weekends. I watch her deal with all the questions, changes, scheduling issues, and or just spend time bringing customers up to speed on the project status. I have observed and listened to her with her customers, with her co-workers and I have to say she goes above and beyond to provide a finished job that exceeds all expectations. She addresses her customers first, an example last summer I had to put a new roof on our home, a large job to remove the old and install 80 some squares of new cedar shakes, she pulled the crew from our home to take care of a few customers, I note she did so without hesitation. I just watched her anguish over a review- actually a reposted unenthusiastic review from over a year ago that was just reposted by “Chris”. Chris claims my wife was shockingly rude—interrupting, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I have never known Angie to be rude or unprofessional. When I do something stupid, I have seen her be dismissive. I have watched her deal with difficult people, difficult situations, her co-workers and sub-contractors. Being rude is just not in her DNA- and she is always correcting me when I struggle with being polite in difficult situations. She is not perfect –no one is – she works very hard doing it right, making the job go as painless as possible and controlling costs. All this to say I don’t know who this Chris guy is that is stalking my wife or why he can’t let go after a year- or why he keeps reposting negative comments anonymously with none of the underlying facts. So, Chris tells exactly what happened rather than just saying Angie and Jenna were rude and dismissive. What was the job, did they enter a contract with you to do the job, did they not finish the job, was the job delayed because materials were not available, if you have the balls to post a bad review – have the tenets to provide the facts. Yes, I am defending my wife, from an anonymous b****, and some Chris guy that seems to be stalking her, I would be foolish not to."

This is a small operation, offering a personal touch. When you hire me to do the job, that is what you get, me. A man with over twenty five years in the fencing Industry. I am a perfectionist who takes great pride in his work. I don't rush to get your job done as quickly as possible, I take the time to ensure a quality job, done in a timely manner.

"We worked with almost 2 dozen different vendors on our extensive home remodel (essentially a gut) and have to say that James' company was simply a pleasure to work with. His company, along with our tile guy and our lead plumber were our top three vendors. They did everything that they said they would do, were respectful of the property, cleaned up well and...most important, did extremely high-quality work. We worked with several vendors from Angie's list, ranging from mediocre to outright horrible. James' company was a refreshing change."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A well-maintained pipe fence can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years, depending on factors like material, climate, and maintenance. Galvanized or coated pipes resist rust and corrosion better than other alternatives, so they tend to last longer, especially in humid or wet environments. Routine maintenance, such as inspecting for damage, removing rust, and applying protective coatings, helps extend the fence’s lifespan significantly.

There are many types of wood fencing that you can choose from. For split rail fencing, the most common wood types are cedar, pine, black locust, and chestnut. The best wood for you will depend on if you like the way a certain wood looks and the availability of the wood type in your area.

Most of the wood types you can find at your local home improvement store are good choices since they all have rot-resistant properties or are pressure-treated with pesticides. If none of the wood options speak to the look you’re going for, check out vinyl fencing.

Each state has its own regulations about pool fences, and laws to protect both swimmers and pool owners. Before installing a pool, you’ll need to research what the pool laws in your state, city, and county are to ensure that you’re adhering to the legal regulations. Inground pools typically need to have a fence around the entirety of them, but the rules regarding above-ground pools are less stringent. A good rule of thumb is to always have a fence around your pool to ensure safety for all. 

The distance between fence posts is guided by the terrain you’re installing them on, the purpose of the fence, and the material it’s made of. For the average wooden garden fence, posts should be about 6 to 8 inches apart. But if you’re going with a mesh, wire, lattice, or chain link fence, you could set the fence posts anywhere from 6 to 25 feet apart. 

If you don’t have a pressure washer or simply don’t want to lug it out of storage, you can spot-clean your wood fence with a garden hose instead. Apply your mild detergent with a soft cloth, scrub with a broom or other soft-bristled brush, and rinse with a garden hose.
