We are a licensed and insured residential and commercial fencing company. We provide a full service fencing experience from small residential repairs to $100K+ commercial projects.

"It went badly. We ordered the fencing around September and the fencing didn't show up until December. There are was no communication from them unless I initiated it. Instead of being straight with us and saying it would take months, they took our down payment and siad nothing. When they did show up, they would leave early in the afternoon. The work was not finished until February. the cold weather prevented them from backfilling the post holes and frozen clumps of sol were left all over the lawn that I could not move until Spring. When they told me the job was completed, There was debris all over the yard in addition to the clumps of frozen soil. They threatened to sue me when I did not pay them within two weeks of finishing the job (even though it was clearly not done!). then a portion of the fence blew over in March due to wind, when the ground thawed (because the holes were not fully backfilled). Several of the other holes were loose and could be moved back and forth until I filled them with the soil. I reported them to the to The Attorney general's office. They told me that the fence was guaranteed for life. when a cracked showed up at the bottom of one of the posts, I contacted them to find out how I could replace the post, they never responded. DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE. They are untrustworthy, dishonest, and their work is sloppy."

We are a handyman service offering fast, reliable, quality work for small repairs and odd jobs. There is on job too small for Handy Joe!

"I contacted Joe( Joseph Paul Bissell-Maynard ) (BISSELL ENTERPRISES, LLC) last month to take a look at small deck porches on the back of my 4plex. That I owner occupy. Joe came by and looked about a half hour later than he said he would. I took the trouble to trim all of the foliage around the decks. He said he'd give me a quote later that night. Then he ghosted me and won't contact me back. With no word or reason. I don't recommend Joe because he wasted my time when I have a rental inspection deadline to meet."

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you’ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn’t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You’ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. 

Fences last anywhere from 10 to 50 years. Metal and glass fences have some of the longest lifespans, while wooden fences have one of the shortest lifespans, lasting around 15 years on average. Vinyl fences last somewhere in between, at around 20 to 30 years. You can extend the life of your fence by taking good care of it. Routine maintenance, like inspecting the fence, cleaning it, and repairing any sections that need it can go a long way.

You’ll need to bury the garden fence about 1 foot underground. It’s tempting to save on materials by burying the fence just a couple of inches, but if you do so, determined pests will still be able to dig under the fence and access your plants. Burying your garden fence deep into the soil is an important step that allows you to attach a wire barrier to the fencing. 

Burrowing animals (like voles, moles, rabbits, and gophers) can’t dig or chew through this wiring, meaning that you’ll be keeping your prized petunias or your robust veggie garden from being eaten.

Permit requirements for new fencing vary based on location. Typically, fences less than 6 feet tall in your backyard do not require a permit. Fences in the front yard usually have a lower height cap. There can also be exceptions if you live in a highly populated area or an area with mixed residential and commercial zones.

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.
