"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."

"I have to say the Williams' seem like such nice people but I found I had to be careful to watch what was being done and ask for corrections. They speak Spanish and Mrs. Williams does the interpreting. I think language did cause some difficulty but quality of work is not based on language spoken. First day was done well then quality of work went downhill from there. They never taped off trim or removed door hinges or knobs. Paint is were it should not be. I'm still finding places that have to have paint removed. I pointed out several places where they goofed and they did make an effort to correct them. But many goofs are still present. I had to repaint several places myself and I keep finding more places that were poorly done. They did some caulking too and it had to be redone a week later. The cost kept increasing as well."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don’t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You’ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.

Planting greenery on a fence can help achieve more privacy, whether it’s shrubs along a picket or chain link fence or rolls of faux greenery to help create a solid-colored backdrop beyond the fence line. You can also try adding more lattice or paneling across a fence so that there are fewer places where passing eyeballs can see in.

Ideally, your concrete should set slightly above ground at an angle sloping away from the fence post. This will add extra support and allow water to run away from the wood fence post. Keeping water out will help prevent wood rot. Additionally, you can add soil on top of the concrete for a seamless finish. 

Black chain-link fences last an average of 15 to 20 years. The thicker a fence's wire gauge, the longer it will tend to last. The black vinyl coating gives the fence rust and corrosion resistance, but its life span may be lower in wet, humid, or coastal climates where moisture or salty air can corrode the coating more quickly.

The lifespan of a fence can range from 5 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, local climate, and how well it is maintained. For example, a wooden fence might last 7 to 15 years, while a vinyl fence typically lasts 20 to 30 years. Metal, composite, and glass fences have some of the longest lifespans. Proper maintenance, such as regular cleaning, inspections, and staining or sealing for wood, is key to extending the life of any fence material. Vinyl and composite are durable options that don't require sealing.
