"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."

"August from the north fence responded to our request immediately and came out and gave us a quote the next day. Showed us a good variety of options and ordered our materials right away. The North Fence team came out by the next weekend and installed our fence professionally in record time. Fence looks great, is sturdy, gates are well constructed and they did a nice job keeping my yard intact through wet conditions. Would strongly recommend their services to anyone in need of a fence!"

"I had a great experience working with Madison Fence! From start to finish, Louie was professional, communicative, and hands-on—he oversaw every part of the project to make sure it was done right. The team completed the job quickly and efficiently, and their pricing was very reasonable compared to other quotes we received. They also cleaned up all the old fencing and leftover dirt, leaving the yard looking great. Highly recommend Madison Fence!"

"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

Barbed wire fences provide cost-effective security, livestock containment, and property protection.

A high-quality wrought iron fence is one of the most durable options available and can last a lifetime, or even centuries, with proper care. However, wrought iron is susceptible to rust and corrosion if not maintained.

To maximize its lifespan, regular maintenance is required. This includes:

  • Cleaning the fence with soapy water every six months.

  • Scrubbing away any rust or corrosion as soon as it appears.

  • Applying a new coat of paint or refinishing the fence every few years to protect the metal from moisture and oxygen. The recommended frequency varies, with sources suggesting anywhere from every 1 to 10 years.

If significant rust develops, it's wise to hire a professional fence repair company to clean the rust and reseal the fence. The cost to refinish a fence is typically between $5 and $12 per square foot, a worthwhile investment to ensure its longevity.

Check for gaps or weak spots where your dog could escape and seal them. Remove toxic plants, chemicals, and potentially hazardous items. The list includes cocoa bean mulch, which is harmful to pups if ingested.

It's also essential to provide shade and fresh water. You may want to consider installing a dog-friendly surface on concrete areas like artificial turf. Additionally, regularly inspect for potential hazards, such as sharp objects or broken glass. Most importantly, supervise your dog during outdoor time to ensure their safety.

Vinyl fencing stays popular with homeowners because it’s durable and aesthetically pleasing. In addition to offering plenty of privacy, vinyl fences have a life span of 20 to 30 years with minimal maintenance. You don’t have to worry about these fences warping or rotting due to moisture, and this material doesn’t contain toxic chemicals.

Removing fence posts that are set in concrete is something you can't do by hand. You will need an excavator, a strong post-puller, or a jackhammer. If you plan on recycling the concrete base, you may be able to cut the post out with a jackhammer and then set the new post in the existing base. However, it's usually better to remove both the fence post and concrete together. Due to the weight of concrete, you will need a hydraulic removal tool.
