"It went very smoothly from first contact through job execution. Some neighbors had recommended them as a previous contractor never did the fencing job he had promised. In the end, they were less costly and did a fantastic job."

"Louie and his team were amazing. From initial contact to project finish, they were prompt, communicative, and efficient. He made great recommendations like gate size and matching the height of our neighbor's chain link fence so that it looked uniform. On top of it, Louie and his crew were very nice to work with. I'd hire Madison Fence again in a heartbeat."

"Gus and his crew did an incredible job. We were too intimidated to install our own patio due to some sloping and large tree roots in the space, but Maccauly Bros tackled the issues with ease. The patio looks great! They clearly paid attention to the little details and made sure that both the patio and the walkway fit into our space perfectly. Bernie and his crew were polite, responsive, and friendly. It took them awhile to get to our project, but they were easy to communicate with and, once the project was started, they were punctual and worked long hours to get the patio done in just a few days. They did an amazing job cleaning up after themselves and reseeding the lawn. We were most impressed with their willingness to go above and beyond. We had decided to install a simple garden fence around the patio to keep our dog contained, and Gus actually installed it for us, including solving several problems when he ran into patches of buried concrete. There was no charge for the extra labor, and we were really appreciative, as we designed the entire patio around the dimensions of the prefab fencing and it was so nice to just have it all DONE when the crew left. It would have taken us many hours of work, and it probably took Gus and his guys about 30 minutes. We would definitely hire Maccauly Bros again for future projects."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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

The most common height of a front yard fence is around 3 feet high, but it can vary depending on your zoning laws. If your fence is meant to create privacy, something closer to 6 feet or higher will do the trick. Most of the time, the highest fence you’ll see is 8 feet tall.

The depth of the fence posts depends on the height of your fence. If you’re installing a 6-foot fence, then digging 2-foot-deep holes for the fence posts will help ensure a secure installation. However, if you’re installing an 8-foot fence, the posts will need to be deeper than 2 feet to support the structure properly. Also, consider how far apart the fence posts should be to provide adequate support.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Do you need a permit to build a fence if you are simply replacing an existing fence? Whether you need a permit in this case depends on your local laws and regulations. Most municipalities consider a fence replacement project as being equal to building a new fence, so you likely will need a permit. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to see if you need a permit. If you hire a local fence contractor, this pro can take care of obtaining all permits for you.
