"Nick and Andy were amazing workers! Always on time and the fence they put up is amazing!, They worked with me on the gates for my dogs which were a little tougher due to the slant in my yard. I have had los of compliments on the fence too.. There was a time issue on getting the fencing n gates to my house but I blame Loweâ s for the supply issue. Nick was very honest and upfront with everything.. I really appreciated the communication . I definitely would recommend Hochstein Fence!"

"Not only did Scott do a great job installing my fence around my patio, he installed my fence in the middle of winter, while the ground was still frozen. He also chopped down a couple of trees for me. Scott did a great job installing my fence, the price was right & my fence looks nice!! Anytime you need outdoor work, you should reach out to my guy Scott @ Maeder Enterprises. They all do great work all year round, even in the winter!"

"I had a great experience with this roofing company. They took on a few side projects at my house and were completely transparent about what actually needed to be done—no upselling or unnecessary work. Their pricing was more than fair, especially considering the quality of the work. They were professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. When the job was finished, they left everything spotless, which I really appreciated. Overall, they did an outstanding job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for honest, high-quality roofing"

"Provide a fair quote on the spot. Called in advance before dropping off the materials and had the project completed 1-2 days before their estimated completion date. Cleaned up all their materials so the only evidence they had been at my property was the new railing."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A horizontal fence is typically more expensive to build than a vertical fence, often costing between 10% and 20% more. The higher cost is due to the need for a higher grade of lumber and more posts to prevent the boards from sagging, which increases both material and labor expenses. Despite the higher price, horizontal fences tend to be more durable and offer a more distinct, modern look compared to the more common vertical picket style. However, they may not be the best option for privacy, as there can be slight gaps between the horizontal rails.

Installing an aluminum fence typically takes one to three days, depending on the fence's size, layout complexity, and site conditions. Simple, straight-line installations may take just a day, while larger or more intricate designs with slopes or obstacles can extend the timeline. Professional contractors often complete the job faster than DIY installations.

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

Yes, fence posts should be set in concrete to provide the proper support for the fence. If you notice your fence posts leaning, you’ll need to learn how to brace a fence post to fix the problem and prevent further damage from occurring. By bracing a fence post properly, you’ll provide stability and sturdiness to your fence for years to come.

A chain-link fence does not lower your property value. However, chain links are not the most attractive materials—so it probably won’t raise the value either. If this is a concern, opt for wooden posts to provide visual flair and go with a color coating on your fence. Putting in a functional and attractive gate also helps up your resale value when installing a chain-link fence.
