"Cesar gave the best cost of the 5 estimates I received for the fence. He and the other workers completed the fence in just a little over a day. They worked efficiently and cleanly, and were very considerate of the safety of others, including my neighbors, during this COVID-19 pandemic. The fence looks great!"
"The team Fence & Deck sent to install a fence in my backyard—an area measuring about 1/6th of an acre—were quick, efficient, and friendly. The first team member showed up just before 7:30 to start dismantling the old fence. By 8 AM, the rest of the team was hard at work. It was a quieter process than I thought, to be honest—which was great, as my neighbors work from home. They were finished by 2 PM; had cleaned up, packed up the old fence and their equipment and were gone. There were issues with installing the new fence: trees had grown into the fence path, most of them belonging to the neighbors. The team presented me with possible solutions at each point, so I could get the fence I wanted—or as close as was possible given the obstacles. It was a very low-stress construction day, and we—and our neighbors—really like the results."
"I was very happy with CLM from their estimate to completion of the job. Their price was below the other two estimates I received. They told me when they expected the fencing to be in stock and began work right on schedule. The crew dug up all the roots and weeds that had grown between the two fences that they had to remove to put up the new fence."
"Old wood fence removed and new vinyl fence installed in just one day!! I couldn't be more pleased. The new fence looks fantastic. Victor and his crew do an amazing job."
"I highly recommend Pair of hands roofing contractor! They were prompt and efficient as it relates to contacting me and getting the job completed in one day. The installation crew was very professional and went above and beyond by clearing our down spouts! Mr. R. Currie's prices were affordable and he was willing to wait for the insurance company to send me the money to make the final payment Thanks Home Advisor you all have hit the nail on the head each time Ive used your services. Sincerely, R & C Lucas"
Fences in Temple Hills often face shifting due to clay soil movement and moisture from humid summers. Over time, wood may warp or discolor, and metal can corrode, especially after heavy rains. Tree roots and overhanging branches can push or damage panels. Regularly checking for loose posts, cleaning mildew, and trimming vegetation helps address these local challenges and extends your fence’s lifespan.
Helpful?
Assess your Temple Hills property’s slope, drainage, and soil composition, as clay may need deeper post installation. Check for mature trees that could interfere with fence lines and review HOA or neighborhood guidelines. Consider local wildlife, like deer, which might require taller or reinforced fencing. Always confirm you can meet setback and visibility requirements before starting your project.
Helpful?
In Temple Hills, surprises can include fees for permits or property surveys, extra labor for digging in dense clay soil, and tree or stump removal if roots obstruct the fence line. Adjustments for sloped yards, drainage improvements, and disposing of old fencing materials can also arise. Delays from utility line marking or limited site access may further impact your project’s timeline.
Helpful?
For Temple Hills homeowners, it’s wise to keep a post level, cordless drill, and saw for quick repairs. Stock up on galvanized fasteners, concrete mix for resetting posts in clay, and a pressure washer to tackle mold from humidity. Wood stain, mildew remover, and extra pickets are helpful, as are loppers for trimming branches and gravel to improve drainage around fence lines.
Helpful?
In Temple Hills, quality fencing is shown by posts set deep in concrete to handle clay soil, panels that remain level even on uneven ground, and gates that latch securely without dragging. Hardware should be corrosion-resistant due to local humidity, and the fence should maintain the required ground clearance to prevent rot. Proper alignment with property lines and adherence to local height and setback rules are also key indicators.
