"The new fence looks beautiful. Steve, the owner, and his crew did a great job removing the old fence and putting up the new fence which involved working on two different elevations. They also completely removed the old fencing and debris. They did this while having to put up with my difficult neighbors who were present during the installation. Steve also accommodated my schedule by working my job in within a couple of weeks. I am very pleased with the results."
"My kitchen and bathroom renovations are in process. United Home Solutions was willing to step into renovations in process when the first contractor could not continue. The carpentry team is well along with installation of cabinets, trim and baseboards and will build custom shelving. The quality of the work is excellent. They worked with me to choose trim compatible with original trim in my 1860 clapboard home and it looks great! The board and plaster team closed up the remaining spaces with smooth walls. The countertop team and painter have been scheduled. These are good people to work with on a project that has endless decisions in my older home as they discuss the possibilities and know how to implement decisions reached."
"I have now had 4 pickups from this company. Each time it has been with different items: I have had my kitchen remodeled, a deck torn down and rebuilt, a new roof put on, old fencing disc arded, and a yard cleanup. The only difference in pricing was for the roofing and even though ti was more money it was STILL CHEAPER than a dumpster!!! I don't know how these guys do it, but they pickup on time, without issue andfor the cost quoted. I have turned each of my contractors onto them - now they are using them. SO MUCH cheaper and better service than any dumpster company I have used!"
"Jesse and Warren did an incredible job! They came out when they said they were coming out and were prompt with the quote as well. Our lawn was in ruins and now it looks like something in a magazine. They also were very thorough with their work and were able to change direction midstream when we decided we wanted something else done. They cleaned up and removed tree limbs that I had taken down, brush left over in the yard from previous owner, graded our driveway and graveled it. They graded our lawn and put down grass seed. If you are looking for a landscaping contractor look no further, I highly recommend Adams Landscaping."
"It was very good, they did a good job. The old driveway is getting a hole in it and it was very shallow but they had a lot of work to do and they did a thick asphalt which should hold up well, give it a couple of years it still looks good. It was a really long drive way so their price is reasonable."
"Ivaldo and his team worked fast and with focus on quality. The footing for the porch was beyond what the drawings called for. Since the front porch was sagging and causing a sag in the roof line, extra focus was placed on shoring up the roof rather than just finishing the porch. The final result is a clean and sturdy new front to the house."

The standard height for a split rail fence is three or four feet. This height requires two to three horizontal rails, making it ideal for homeowners wanting a budget-friendly split rail fence. If you’re hoping to contain agile livestock or animals like dogs, geese, or goats, you may prefer to install a six-foot tall fence with four or five rails or a four-foot-tall fence with three horizontal rails. This will help prevent animals from climbing, crawling, or jumping through the rails.
How much does a privacy fence cost? Stockade fences cost $12 to $13 per linear foot for materials. You may find fencing that costs less, but it’s likely wholesale wood manufactured using young trees. Fencing materials made with young trees are less durable than those made with mature trees.
For installation, expect to pay $30 to $80 per hour. Installing a 150- to 200-linear-foot fence takes 20 to 35 hours, which comes to about $600 to $2,800 for labor.
In the vast majority of cases, chain-link fences are less expensive than wood fences. Installing a wood fence costs anywhere from 20% to 30% more than a chain-link fence, or an average of $3,100, whereas a similarly sized chain-link fence will average around $2,400. Even with add-ons and additional protective finishes, a chain-link fence is very likely to cost you less than a wood fence. The only exception would be a split rail wood fence, which can cost about half the price of a chain-link fence or less.
How long a wood fence lasts depends on the type of wood and its style. The design of a shadow box fence makes it more durable than other fence types because the alternating pickets disperse the weight across the rails. As a result, you won’t have to worry as much about sagging or failing pickets. However, remember that the hollow design of a shadow box fence makes it more difficult to apply the sealer, which is crucial to extending its life.
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.
