"My handrails had been dinged from the hailstorm in May. This pro came to see what needed to be done, gave me an estimate of the cost to redo these by sanding, spray painting with primer, and the material cost. When he showed up as promised, he covered all the exposed portions of the porch with plastic and cardboard to avoid unwanted paint smears. The handrails look almost new and that is amazing since they are original to the house and have been painted many times. Very professional."

"Mike installed a tub and shower surround. Fixed the drywall, plumbing, and insulation. He had to do work under our crawl space and tons of other small things to get our bathroom up and running. Was more than fair on pricing and completed everything in a timely manner. Will definitely have him complete any other jobs that pop up around the house!"

"Both service people were polite, courteous and pleasant. The A/C unit was more expensive than I was expecting. I think a less expensive unit could have been found but I couldnâ t shop and time is costly so I guess it was as good as could be under the circumstances."

"I needed several planks in deck replaced. Rob Hardy gave me a reasonable estimate and I hired him. After tearing off bad planks, he found some problems with joists under deck. He fixed these and I realized that he had a lot of time in it. I asked if there would be additional charges. He said ,no, he would stay with original estimate. He was polite and courteous. I'm very very happy with the work. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him. He's 5 stars all the way!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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.

When deciding to replace or repair your existing fence, consider the 20% rule that fence builders reference. This rule states that if more than 20% of your fence needs repair, you should skip the repair and replace it. Additionally, if your fence is nearing the end of its life, it's often best to replace it.

Repairing the fence is a good option when you have minimal damage or damage from a specific event versus wear and tear. Your fence repair professional can assess the damage and compare the repair price with the cost of a new fence.

For a chain link fence, the ideal distance between fence posts is 6 to 10 feet apart. Measure carefully to ensure even spacing, and resist the temptation to extend the distance more than 10 feet. Doing so could impact the stability of your fence.

As with any project or material, installing wrought iron fencing has advantages and disadvantages. Some pros and cons of this fence material include:

Pros

  • Long lifespan with proper maintenance

  • Very durable

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Functional as well as decorative

Cons

  • Requires regular maintenance and cleaning

  • Expensive compared to other fence materials

  • Limited privacy

There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.

Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.
