"We hired John and his team to replace an old fence around an inground pool with aluminum fencing and install new chain link and aluminum fencing around our side yard. Quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and highly professional. I can't say enough about this team. Everyone was a true pleasure to work with from start to finish. I would highly recommend them for any fencing project."

"Andre arrived a few minutes early. Which is great because I like people who are on time. He proceeded to carry the AC unit from my car located in the garage, to the bedroom where it was going to be installed in a window there. He immediately unpacked the contents of the box. Andre is very knowledgeable about this type of work. He had to adapt some pieces, as the unit was not compatible with the type of window I have. Andre did this with ease. His work ethic is excellent. In less than 2 hours he had the unit installed in the window. Andre was also very polite and personable. Thank you for referring him for this job. With Appreciation, Gilda Cannavino"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.

You’ll need to bury the garden fence about 1 foot underground. It’s tempting to save on materials by burying the fence just a couple of inches, but if you do so, determined pests will still be able to dig under the fence and access your plants. Burying your garden fence deep into the soil is an important step that allows you to attach a wire barrier to the fencing. 

Burrowing animals (like voles, moles, rabbits, and gophers) can’t dig or chew through this wiring, meaning that you’ll be keeping your prized petunias or your robust veggie garden from being eaten.

Yes, installing wrought iron fencing will usually require a building permit, as do all types of fencing. Building permits for wrought iron fencing typically cost between $150 and $500, and the price will vary based on where you live and how much your local building department charges. You may also need to pay for a property survey if you’re installing wrought iron fencing on your property line. This type of survey can cost around $500, but it prevents issues with building on neighboring properties, which can be much more expensive in the long run.

A split rail fence is not typically considered among types of dog fencing. Many dogs are small enough to slip out between or under rails, and dangerous pests like coyotes can slip in. However, adding wire mesh to a split rail fence can add the security needed for dog safety without compromising the timeless look that makes the split rail style appealing.

To choose where to add a fence gate, know where fence gates shouldn’t go. For example, you should avoid placing gates over low spots on the ground where water can collect and form muddy puddles. Many ranchers install gates at the corner of a fence. Certain gate placements may also be required depending on the type of gate latch you use.
