"This company was atrocious from start to finish! My fence was installed in 2022 and it's practically falling down and coming apart. About 6 months after installation, the fence was was leaning 2-3 feet as they dug the fence post holes about a foot deep! My fence was only 6 months old, still under contract warranty, and the owner screamed at me for waiting so long to tell him there was a problem! His 6 guy team of goons literally laughed in my face telling g me there was little they could do to fix it because it was made out of wood!! The other side of my backyard has a 40 year old wood stockade fence that is still standing and looking perfect! The fencing they used is completely subpar. The wood is already rotting and the slats are warping so bad the nails are coming g out! Ive had to fix the crooked fenceposts many times using steel post reinforcements (which are expensive) because the holes they dug were so ridiculously shallow. The fence sections are disconnecting from each othe"

I'm a one-man operation, but I do a wide range of jobs from little fix-its to whole-room overhauls. I put a lot of care and attention to detail into my work, and I prioritize communication, timeliness, and cleanliness. I do free estimates and simple contracts that specify the work to be done and the price to be paid.

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

There are pros and cons to vinyl fencing. The drawbacks are that it can be expensive up front compared to options like chain-link fencing and that it’s vulnerable to fading. The material is difficult to repair without replacing entire panels or the whole fence, and you can’t paint over vinyl to change the color. However, this material is impressively durable and easy to maintain, making it a good choice for many homes.

Black chain-link fences last an average of 15 to 20 years. The thicker a fence's wire gauge, the longer it will tend to last. The black vinyl coating gives the fence rust and corrosion resistance, but its life span may be lower in wet, humid, or coastal climates where moisture or salty air can corrode the coating more quickly.

The best height for your garden fence really depends on your visual preferences and what types of pests are common in your area. If you’re only dealing with small pests, your garden fence can be just about 3 feet tall. But if you live in a region with a lot of deer, you’ll need a deer-proof fence that’s at least 5 feet tall to keep deer from hopping over the fence and grubbing in your garden.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again.
