"This is the 2nd house that I've had Matt and his team install fencing to enclose my backyard. He made it all even easy and worry free. The installation transpired without any issues. It took 2 days to install. When they were done, it was like the fence was always there. No debris, it was all cleaned up and ready to enjoy."

"Scott is friendly efficient and very detailed and work orientated. He installed a chain-link fence on my property and I can’t say enough for his work ethic and how well the fence looks. I would highly recommend his company to anyone who needs a fence installed or repaired."

"Nosh drilled small holes in areas of the driveway and used a special machine to put concrete under the slab of existing concrete to raise it up. It looks better but Nosh has high standards for himself. He was not happy with the results. He was able to see that the person who originally put the driveway in didn't use proper materials. This caused support material to wash away. There were very large spaces under the slabs that would take multiple truck loads of concrete to fill them in. Nosh did not feel right about charging for his work. He and his employee worked very hard all day but he would only allow me to pay for the materials he used. It is not very often you find someone as honest, diligent and has the high standards he has. In addition, he is very fair with what he charges."

"All the work performed for the coupon was done very well. Doug is a good worker and was quick as well as professional. I did try to book additional work with Terry, the owner, but he did not get back to me with a quote to remove and rebuild two decks along with a landing and 14 stairs. I called him several times, emailed, and texted, but he said he was waiting for quotes from places like Home Depot and Lowe's I believe. Finally we went with another contractor who was able to give us a quote within a day, and completed the work over the next week and a half. By the time Terry contacted me again, four weeks later, our deck was done. Terry said he had an emergency in Florida and was unable to contact us during that time. Having been in customer service for years, it seems to me if you had an emergency, you'd give your open items to someone in your company so that they could call all the customers and explain what happened instead of making them wait in limbo, stupidly thinking you are interested in doing their little project. I notice in an earlier post a few months ago, Terry had another emergency in Florida and did not return phone calls for quite awhile. Before this all happened, Terry was the one we wanted to go with for our decks, but he made it impossible to do so. Even Doug, the worker, asked if I had gotten a quote yet...turns out Doug would have been one of the ones building our deck so he was looking forward to the work.

Fencing questions, answered by experts

In most cases, a fence can only be built on your property with your consent. Not obtaining permission constitutes an encroachment and a violation of your property rights. However, exceptions may apply, such as when the fence is entirely within the property boundaries of the person putting it up and the fence complies with local zoning laws and regulations. If you think a fence infringes on your property or is not up to local standards, consult with local authorities or legal experts to address the issue and protect your property rights.

The lifespan of wire fencing heavily depends on factors like gauge, material, coating type, and environmental conditions. However, with proper maintenance, many wire fences last for 20 to 30 years. Coastal areas or regions with high rainfall may see reduced lifespans of 10 to 15 years due to increased corrosion risk.

There are several options for post materials. Depending on where you live, the weather, and what kind of durability you want, you can choose from wood, steel or concrete posts for a barbed wire fence. Your corner and end posts should be especially strong in order to maintain the structural integrity of the fence. 

Who pays for a new fence between neighbors depends on its location relative to the property line. If you build the fence entirely on your property, you are solely responsible for the costs of installation, maintenance, and repair. If the fence is built directly on the property line, both neighbors are typically responsible for the costs. In this case, it is essential to consult with your neighbor beforehand to agree on a plan for payment. While you should always inform your neighbor of your plans in advance, you generally cannot force them to contribute financially unless there are specific local laws, such as in California, where both parties might be responsible for costs unless a different agreement exists. It's a good idea to get a property line survey to know the exact boundaries before building.

Standard post spacing for shadowbox fences is 6 to 8 feet. This spacing ensures proper support for the heavy weight of overlapping pickets and prevents sagging between posts. However, areas with high winds, slopes, or unstable soil conditions may require closer spacing.
