"The fence and gate look great and I feel much more secure. The old fence was poorly done (some post-Katrina work so I had to take what I could find) and did not secure my back yard and pool. Tony explained why the original fence was inadequate and why we needed to upgrade (to better wood and more cross pieces). It took a few weeks for him to get to my project but he kept me posted on what the time frame was likely to be. Once they committed, they were reliable and punctual and the job was completed in a couple of days. One note: you do have to pay extra to have the old fence hauled away which was not included in the original estimate. I decided I wanted a few upgrades from the original plan (including a combination lock for the gate so that I didn't have to give keys to anyone who needed to get into the backyard). I would also have had to pay extra to have them spray the fence with wood sealer but I decided that was a job that didn't take too much expertise so I'll have my son do it for me."

"Mr. Scallan of Home Improvements came to my house on Wednesday to check out what I wanted done and give me a price for the work.   We agreed he would come the next day for 9:00 am to do the job.  He was here for 9:00 am as planned.  I had all kinds of trees to be trimmed, shaped and cut.  Also, had gutters to be cleaned and metal pipes to be cut and removed from my yard and weeds to be sprayed.   He bagged all he had cut and took the pipes with him to dispose of,  which I really appreciated.  He did a very neat job.  He did everything I asked him to do and even fixed my page fence which wasn't even on my list.   In his listing on Angie's list, he also does other maintenance jobs.   I was completely satisfied with his work and will not hesitate to call him in the future for other jobs besides yard work.

"Crescent City Metal is a first class company. Ronnie Lacomb is highly skilled in building fences. He has a strong sense for anticipating and solving challenges before and during a project. It was a thrill to watch him and his team erecting a 26 ft. high golf fence. Every step of the project included safety, quality, strength, and keeping on schedule. You won’t find a company more hard working, talented, and congenial, I give my highest recommendation for Cresent City Metal. Thanks Ronnie, SheliahD"

"It went great he came out quick and had a estimate ready the next day. He came out and had my roof torn off and put on in one day. And had my fence up in two days. I will definitely call him for future needs."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.

How long it takes to install a fence depends on the size of the fence; the longer the fence, the longer the install will take. That said, you can typically install a bamboo fence over a weekend for a reasonably sized yard. A team of fencing contractors can likely get your bamboo fence assembled in half a day to a day.

While cedar and pine are two of the most common wooden fence materials, everything from redwood to bamboo is also available. You can also purchase pressure-treated wood, which better withstands water damage and the threat of pests. The best wood for your fence will come down to your budget, local climate, and preferred look.

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.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first.
