"I stand by my words when I say All American Fences Inc did an excellent job with replacing my broken fence with the new fence. Nino Vidal and his staff were prompt, professional, and courteous. I appreciate Nino's meticulous estimate and detailed description in the contract. Additionally, he provided a booklet which reflected photos of the fences he completed in the past which helped me decide on the fence style. The project was completed in one day as proposed. Overall, I am highly impressed by the finished work. I will be recommending All American Fences Inc to my relatives, friends and colleagues if they ever need fence work."
"I received several estimates and Fence & Deck Connection, after a very professional examination of the situation and a very clear explanation of the replacement plan, presented me with the lowest bid. Another fence company's bid was three times the cost! After choosing Fence & Deck Connection, I had two more visits from their personnel to plan the installation. When the crew arrived to install they were fully aware of what needed to be done. In one morning they installed a beautiful fence that was even more than I had hoped for. I will certainly use this company for future fencing projects."
"Superb service! Very professional, punctual, polite, and thorough! They showed up exactly on time. They took great care to not damage flowerbeds. The new fence is sturdy, well-built, and looks great. Excellent value! I would definitely hire again. I highly recommend CLM Home Improvements for fence replacements."
"Jesryn Landscaping did an excellent job. I will refer them to my friends and family. I am totally satisfied with the job they did. Our house looks like a new house. They were very professional and suggested the perfect bushes for the front yard. Thank you"
"Very pleased with this company! They showed up on time. They worked in the snow and very cold temperature. They worked hard and added additional chain link fence that we needed. They traveled a long distance to do our fence replacement. They did a great job and we highly recommend them."
"Very respectful knowledge about the job. They were about to explain all the steps to repair and clean my deck. The clean up afterwards was commendable."
Proper installation can make a big difference in your fence's maintenance needs. For example, wood fences that aren't installed correctly can be more likely to rot. While it's possible to DIY a fence installation, hiring a local fence company can mean much less work for you in the long run.
A professional fence installer will make sure your fence is positioned correctly and installed in a way that ensures longevity and limited upkeep requirements.
Galvanized metal, vinyl, and composite fences are known to be the longest-lasting options, often surviving for over 30 years with proper care. Metal fences, including galvanized chain link and aluminum, can look great for decades because the galvanization process adds a protective coating that resists weather and pests. Similarly, vinyl and composite materials are resistant to pests and can withstand harsh weather for many years. In comparison, a typical wood fence lasts about 15 years, and a standard vinyl fence has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
All fences offer some degree of privacy, but standard perimeter fences may not be designed with that in mind. Dedicated privacy fences, however, tend to enclose smaller areas and feature more high-end materials that truly emphasize seclusion and comfort. Additionally, privacy fences typically offer fewer gaps to peek in through than standard fences, though you can likely adjust that to suit your preferences.
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.
