"Josh did some custom carpentry work for us, as well as some very technically challenging steel tapping for a circular jig attached to a motor. He did a fantastic job. The steel tapping was something I had basically given up on ever fixing, but he was able to do it!"

"They worked fast and cleaned up after themselves very well. We had a pretty big job for them and the weather was not ideal for them as it was voretty wet. They did an excellent job not tearing up my yard while setting the post. JL was super friendly before and after the fence was complete. He seemed very knowledgeable about what we wanted and it was a very smooth transaction."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You shouldn’t try to touch the electric fence, as it will shock you. Typically, the shock is low enough to be uncomfortable to humans or animals that come into contact with the fence. But an electric fence with high voltage, or a faulty fence, could shock you and cause serious injuries when touched.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence to keep it from falling down. Sandbags can be used as a standard weight, but they may blow away or fail in strong winds and inclement weather. Spikes and bolts are a cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative, but drilling can be difficult if the ground is frozen, too soft, or too hard. Another option is wind braces, which should be bolted into the ground to withstand turbulent wind; however, like spikes, they can be challenging to install in very soft or hard ground.

Costs depend on material, labor, and additional features like gates or decorative elements.

In most cases, you will need a building permit to put up a vinyl fence, especially if the fence is sitting on or close to your property line. You can ask your local building department or  fence installation company if your fence project will require a permit. If so, you can expect it to cost between $20 and $60. Your fence installer should pull the permit for you. Building without a permit could eventually require you to pay again to remove the fence and reinstall it after getting the job approved.
