"We hired Kevin Riel to install a chain link fence in our yard for our new puppy. We requested a quote based on the excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. The quote was scheduled promptly. He kept in touch via text and came when expected. He was super easy to talk with, and help figuring out what we needed and discussing the pro and cons of different materials and locations of the fencing. No hard-sell, just solid information. He gave us a place in his schedule of upcoming jobs but let us know he would do what he could to get us in sooner - which he did! Kevin and his son showed up on time and did beautiful work, ahead of schedule. We are delighted with the fence, and with the overall service and value. We will call Kevin anytime we need fencing and would confidently recommend him to friends and neighbors."

"Quade and his assistant helped us with a repair of our roof in Laconia. He had to stop working on the second day with 2 hours left. During our honeymoon, they came back and finished the work! It was very nice to come home to not only a finished project done well, but to a very clean yard too. Highly recommend!!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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. 

Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don’t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You’ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.

Galvanized metal, vinyl, and composite fences are known to be the longest-lasting options, often surviving for over 30 years with proper care. Metal fences, including galvanized chain link and aluminum, can look great for decades because the galvanization process adds a protective coating that resists weather and pests. Similarly, vinyl and composite materials are resistant to pests and can withstand harsh weather for many years. In comparison, a typical wood fence lasts about 15 years, and a standard vinyl fence has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.

Most privacy fences are easy to install if you’re going with a DIY-friendly option like a wood fence, vinyl fence, or pallet fence. Since pallet fences come in the form of pre-constructed fence panels, they’re often considered the easiest privacy fence to install. Just get your fence stakes in the ground and slide the pallets onto them before securing them with scrapboard.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.
