"Rob was fantastic! I actually wanted him to do some landscaping but wound up hiring him to fix my broken gates. He went out got everything new himself & took away the old fence. He also added a gate to the other side of my house & again took the old fence away. Looks great! In fact so good I’m having him do my entire fence! He’s also reasonably priced & such a nice guy! Couldn’t be happier!"

"This is a first class operation.  Mr. Zuber is very low key, nice and knowledgeable. He gave us alternatives for the look we were trying to achieve and advised us well. You see we were not thrilled with the idea of siding our house, as a lot of siding we had seen was not so good looking, but we are so pleased with the decision now that all is done. My skeptical husband is now the biggest fan of siding. Joe's crew was polite, hard working and dependable, caring very much about their craftsmanship. Clean-up was outstanding, and they noticed things needing correction before we did and fixed them, which were very few might I add. We had so much wood rot and problem areas, and they were experts at handling it all. They began sooner than we expected and worked long and hard hours. We had several estimates for the work we wanted done and were a little skeptical when Joe's bid was substantially less with up grades and quality products. We need not have doubted. We got a beautiful look, and after viewing  other houses and the siding on them, we are convinced that ours undoubtedly looks the most expensive and classiest. Seriously, we cannot be more pleased, and I cried when I saw the finished product. Thank you Joe Zuber and crew for a job well done.

"Jim was very helpful and creative. He was willing to work with me to figure out how to solve the problems. I planned to tear the old floor out of the bathroom to keep costs down, but when I ran into trouble he helped me and even did some cutting so I could remove one of the layers of floor. He didn't charge me for it, he just jumped in and gave me a hand. He did that sort of thing the whole time he was there. If he saw me struggling with a project I was working on he would use his strength or expertise to get me through a rough spot. He worked fast and didn't feel like I had to watch over him. But when we went to discount stores to serch for materials he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. I was worried that he would feel I was wasting his time but he seemed to enjoy being there too. I paid for materials, his bid was just for labor but we went in his truck and he spent time with me picking out the materials and he hauled them back to the work site. In the end I gave him $25 more than he billed me for for all the extra help he gave me."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A chain link fence typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, but with proper maintenance, it can last for 30 years or more. To preserve the fence, it's important to keep the mesh wire tight, which can be done with a come-along tool every 6 to 12 months. Investing in a fence with a galvanized, powder-coated, or vinyl-coated finish can increase its lifespan to 20 to 30 years and reduce maintenance needs, as these coatings provide extra protection against the elements.

A barbed wire fence will last an average of 15 to 20 years, but the life expectancy can range anywhere between five and 50 years. Thicker wires last longer, as do fences made with galvanized metal. If the barbed wire fence is in a climate with harsh winters and summers, it likely won’t last more than 10 to 15 years. Failing to keep up with maintenance and repairs will also shorten the lifespan of a barbed wire fence.

While cedar and pine are two of the most common wooden fence materials, everything from redwood to bamboo is also available. You can also purchase pressure-treated wood, which better withstands water damage and the threat of pests. The best wood for your fence will come down to your budget, local climate, and preferred look.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

Wattle fences are typically around 4 feet tall, but they can be built taller or shorter depending on their intended use. Taller fences may require additional reinforcements, such as thicker posts or tighter weaving, to ensure the fence’s stability and durability against wind and other elements.
