"Because Ritter Fence LLC had installed our fence 15 years ago, we invited Steve Ritter, to give us an estimate on some new privacy fencing. Early this spring, he came to our home to measure for the fencing and then again, to bring a sample of the cap board. Each time he was punctual. Mr. Ritter's estimate was quite reasonable for "cedar," so we later decided to request an additional estimate for removing and resurfacing two decks as well. On this occasion, in May, he measured for materials for the decks and stated he would get these estimates to us at a later date. At the same visit Mr. Ritter brought a contract along with him for the fence; however, in the meantime a check with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) revealed that his MHIC license had expired. He stated that he was unaware that had happened. He asked for a deposit on the fence and set up an install date; but we refused to sign the contract until he reinstated his license. Early in September I contacted the MHIC to find that Ritter Fence LLC's license still had not been reinstated. In a call to Mr. Ritter that day, he stated that he hopes to have the license reinstated this November. You be the judge. We will seek estimates elsewhere. Our patience ran out. Fence estimate only since never received deck estimates."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post’s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to replace your fence post every five to 15 years.

If you hire a fence installer for the project, the time it takes to build a fence is about 20 to 30 hours. Tackling the project yourself will take around 40 to 50 hours. It can take longer if you need to obtain permits, level the ground, remove the old fence, or remove a tree.

When deciding to replace or repair your existing fence, consider the 20% rule that fence builders reference. This rule states that if more than 20% of your fence needs repair, you should skip the repair and replace it. Additionally, if your fence is nearing the end of its life, it's often best to replace it.

Repairing the fence is a good option when you have minimal damage or damage from a specific event versus wear and tear. Your fence repair professional can assess the damage and compare the repair price with the cost of a new fence.

Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.

You'll pay less on average for the cost of a wooden fence compared to aluminum. However, the price highly depends on the type of wood, the fence design, and extra additions like gates and coats of paint. For example, you may pay less to install an aluminum fence since the panels anchor in the ground, whereas wood fences often take longer to construct, especially picket fences.
