"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."

"I needed a fence (or really more like a railing) installed along my walk, which my roommate needed to hang onto. I got 3 bids. Remarkable Fence charged half as much as the other two and they did a great job. They gave me just what I needed."

"I highly recommend North Fence Company. Fabio came by shortly after my call. Measured the needed work, gave me a very reasonable quote, a few days later two of his staff showed up, installed the fence. The job was professionally done and my fence looks beautiful."

"Elder was great to work with, he did a thorough walk through to ensure he knew exactly what we needed done, and then was quick to send over an accurate estimate. The work was done on time, on budget, with no issues. I appreciated their flexibility to do a little more than we originally discussed, and the crews' ability to remove the old fence, cut down trees/stumps as needed, and work around any potential issues was very important. I would definitely recommend NewGen for any Fence + Landscaping needs."

"I had an excellent experience getting the fence installed. Kevin gave the best price and amazing service. He was quick to provide an estimate and completed the installation before the projected date. The crew was very thoughtful. I will wholeheartedly recommend Kevin for any fence installation project."

"Sean showed up when he said he would. He (amazingly accurately) determined what replacement parts would need to be ordered. He provided an estimate, scheduled the work, showed up on time, did the work very well, cleaned up, took away all the debris including the broken pieces of the old fence, and walked me through what he had done afterward. My fence is great and I would strongly recommend Sean."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire.

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. 

Retaining walls offer more value to a home if they also divert water, prevent erosion, or help support a foundation. The ROI of a retaining wall is between 100% and 200%.

Both fences and walls can increase your home’s value, but you’ll spend significantly more on a wall than you would on a fence. A stone wall costs approximately $5,000, a retaining wall costs $6,100, and a fence costs $3,200 on average to put prices in perspective. 

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.

Most homeowners don't need to inform their neighbors before constructing a fence, according to the law, but you will need to make sure that you’re building on the property line or on your side of the property line. Otherwise, the neighbor could complain, which would require you to tear down and reinstall the fence. In any case, keeping them in the loop is the neighborly thing to do!

Whether you inform your neighbors or not, always use property records and a land survey to ensure your fence stays within your property boundaries.
