"I contacted E&D Fencing in mid-June 2021 and I heard back from Elcio within a day, and he was able to come by a day later.  During the visit to our backyard, Elcio listened to my ideas for a white PVC picket fence, took measurements, and explained how he is different from other fence companies: he emphasized that his estimate for when he could install the fence would be accurate, as he keeps inventory on hand, as opposed to some other companies that do not, which allows him to give accurate ETAs for installation, and to be able to install quicker than other vendors.   I emailed a total of about 8 fencing companies in the area, and about 6 got back to me, with about 4 coming to visit and later give a quote.  One was almost twice E&D's quote, and one was about 25% cheaper but they didn't have inventory on hand so would have me wait 3 months or more.  And I was impressed with Elcio's professionalism and his explanation of how his company works, so we went with E&D.  Once we paid a deposit of 50% of the quoted cost, he was able to reserve our materials and schedule us. Although he was already very booked up for the summer, he was able to fit us in about 4 weeks out, depending on the weather.  He was able to complete the install around that timeframe, and it was all done in one day by a crew of about 5, including some senior crew members who had decades of fence installation experience.  They carefully dug down about 2ft per post, using shovels, and were careful to avoid septic and irrigation lines.  They also followed my installation layout/design quite well.   I highly recommend Elcio's E&D Fencing if you need a high-quality fence installed.   -Will Acton, MA"

"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 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!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

Pallet fences come with built-in support through the fence posts you should install on each side of their vertical interior. Stand the fence upright and slide it onto the fence posts, then further support it with 2x4 wood boards that you drill across each point where two pallets connect side-by-side.

You can DIY a stockade fence installation, but prepare to put in some good sweat equity. For the best results, carefully plan the exact location of your fence before you break ground. In particular, carefully map out your post locations before setting them in concrete. Be sure to call your local utility company before digging to avoid damaging underground wiring and causing severe injury.

On the other hand, installing stockade fencing on your own might sound too overwhelming. It’s certainly time-consuming and labor-intensive. Besides the hard work, you must install it properly to avoid gaps. Unless you’re confident you can get the job done right, hiring a privacy fence installer near you is the way to go.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.
