Get matched with top fencing pros in Northport, ME

Q: Should I repair or replace my fence?

• <div><p>If 20% or more of your fence is damaged, pros will often tell you that it&rsquo;s a better use of your money to replace the fence entirely. Severe rotting and insect damage always call for a replacement. However, if you&rsquo;re just dealing with a few loose posts or a little bit of mildew growth, you can repair the fence.</p></div>

Q: Should you use concrete to set fence posts?

• <div><p>You can use soil and gravel instead of concrete when setting fence posts. However, concrete is more durable and longer lasting, so it's worth considering if you want your fence to withstand the test of time. You should especially consider concrete if you live in a region that experiences severe weather, which can damage your fence.</p></div>

Q: What is the average height of a fence?

• <div><p>Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.</p></div>

Q: How deep do aluminum fence posts need to be?

• <div><p>When it comes to aluminum fence post depth, the posts should typically be about one-third of the length of the fence post deep into the ground. However, it's always best to check with your fencing manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you install it at the recommended depth for stability.</p></div>

Q: Will a goat charge at you?

• <div><p>For the most part, goats are friendly and won&rsquo;t charge at you, but there are exceptions to this rule, as there are with any animal handling practices. Typically, goats don&rsquo;t attack unless they feel threatened. Avoid cornering or rough handling goats to avoid getting head-butted, bitten, or kicked, and always supervise goats when they&rsquo;re near children or pets.</p></div>

"J & M Exteriors provided us with professional and efficient service. They were respectful of our specific requirements for the work being done. They were also respectful of our time and communicated well about dates and timelines. The repairs to our fence look better than the original installation. J & M put in extra effort and details so that our fence is extra sturdy and we expect that it will survive any massive windstoms in the future. A great experience with masters of fence installation.
