Q: How do you install a fence when the ground is frozen?

• <div><p>Installing a fence when the ground is frozen presents challenges, but it's possible with the right approach. First, mark and measure the fence line accurately. Use a power auger or manual post-hole digger to create holes in the frozen ground, ideally when it's less rigid during warmer parts of the day. Consider using pre-made fence post anchors or driving metal posts into the ground. Ensure posts are secure with concrete for stability. Allow extra time for the concrete to cure. Additionally, be cautious of frost heave, which may affect post-alignment. Installing in milder winter conditions is often more manageable.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common type of metal fence?

• <div><p>The most common type of metal fence today is one made of either steel or aluminum. These materials are relatively easy to fabricate, making them much more cost-effective than traditional metal fencing handmade from wrought iron. They&rsquo;re also much lighter and easier to install, contributing to their affordability and making them more DIY-friendly.</p></div>

Q: What information should I have ready for my wrought iron pro when I reach out for an estimate?

• <div><p>Pictures of the area where you want your handrail installed should help get an accurate estimate. You should also let your professional know how accessible the installation location is, and whether or not there is a pre-existing railing to remove. Also, before contacting the pro, take some time to decide what type of wrought iron you are leaning toward. </p><p>Finally, have the overall length of your railing at the ready, so you can discuss prefabricated options versus custom-made options.</p></div>

Great job replacing our cast iron tub for a shower. The salesman, installation, master plumber and supervisor were all great. Everything went smoothly as they had measured twice before the team arrived to do the work.

Having built a new bathroom in a basement, I called Action Plumbing to come connect my new plastic drains to the old underfloor cast iron sewer line. They were once again prompt, very capable, and fair on the price.
