"I had asked for a quote for vinyl siding. This company was a new start up. Said their license was in the mail. Found out this was a lie later on. Men were very polite and respectful and offered very competitive pricing so I decided to go with them. I had maybe 30 linear feet to be installed. It took them over a week. That was my first lightbulb going off. Then their confused faces, trying to make the pieces fit was the second lightbulb. I noticed quite a few imperfections, but what could possibly go wrong with an uncomplicated vinyl fence? Everything. The slats are too short. I can see my neighbors yard through my fence because they didn't make the slats long enough for the top rail to rest on. This was on at least three panels. One panel, the slats were so short that they all popped out. With the posts? Brackets are supposed to have 4 screws, but they only managed to put two. And this was on more than one bracket. Now the post that's attached to the house, they used a hard white plastic bracket to attach the post to the house. And what does plastic do in the AZ heat? Crack! So now, the one post has become completely detached. When I tried to contact him initially for only the one panel that the slats that popped out, he responded very quickly, which used to be the norm. He asked for a picture, I sent it to him, then radio silence. So I tried 5 more times before threatening to report him to AZ atty general, BBB, report him for having no license and leaving a review everywhere I could about how he stiffed me on my one year warranty. He had the absolute nerve to insist that my fat a** dog is the one who broke it from jumping on the fence. For one, yes, my dog is so fat, but so fat and old that it can't jump. 2, there is a bush bordering the fence that my fat dog couldn't squeeze between and jump on the fence if it wanted to, and third, the planks collapsed into the yard on to the bush. When presented with this information, I got cussed out, insulted with anything you could think of. Then he said he's not my chore boy and it my job to upkeep the fence. I have pages and pages of emails from this man berating me, making excuses, accepting no responsibility, stating it's not his fault he didn't have the proper tools (w**), that it's not his fault it had a manufacturing defect (so now I know he passed off bad material) to lastly his well dried up and he moved all the way to Maine. It only gets worse, so I'll file civil suit. What's worse? His family has a well known last name for having businesses in the Valley for about a century. So hey, sorry if your last name is blakely, but this company ruined your reputation."

""Handymen" only begins to describe Wayne's capabilities. While repairing exterior trim on my house, I discovered that two carrying beams had been compromised and required repair/replacement. Wayne identified the cause of the problem (improper repair done years before by a different contractor) and remediated both issues. In so many ways, he proved to be a valuable and trusted resource. He is knowledgeable, careful, and practical, fully explaining the problem and describing my options. Pricing was very fair and importantly, he showed up when he said he would, worked full days, and stayed on the job until its completion. We could not have been more satisfied."

Yes, most states require a fencing installer to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed fence installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.
The average cost to install a driveway gate is around $3,500, and prices usually total between $1,900 and $6,000. However, security and driveway gates can cost as much as $12,000. Some cost factors include the size of the gate, the type of gate, the gate material, and the security level of the gate. A wrought iron gate will be more expensive than a PVC driveway gate, which will typically cost more than a wood gate. Automated gates are always more expensive than manual ones, as they require additional electrical installation.
The cost to install a pet fence ranges from $1,500 to $8,000 on average. This cost is primarily dependent on the type of fence material and the width and height of the fence and your geographical location.
A wood privacy fence that is 150 linear feet can range from $1,000 to $4,500. However, the same length of fence in aluminum will cost closer to $4,500 to $6,000. In addition, some states are simply more expensive than others to build a fence due to increased demand and cost of living.
