"It went very smoothly from first contact through job execution. Some neighbors had recommended them as a previous contractor never did the fencing job he had promised. In the end, they were less costly and did a fantastic job."

"We hired Junior to replace a small porch and also a split rail fence. He got the job done very quickly and with great workmanship. The fence is located in a very tight area bordering a difficult neighbor. Junior ensured that the fence was within the property line and avoided creating a dispute."

"Tyler (owner) was extremely proactive to come and review our deck power-washing and sanding and re-stiaining requirements. Very prompt estimate was emailed within under 2 hours! Tyler and his 2 brothers (Steve and Alex) and 4th staff (Torey) came over the next 2 days. Steve and Torey first did a thorough power-washing session. They then expended highly meticulous effort to sand the deck railings and posts - a very extensive and patient process by both Steve and Torey. On the second day Tyler and the Team continued refining the deck sanding as well as doing the floor sanding. The team is very courteous not only to my wife Jacqueline and me (Ron Yannone) but among themselves as well!! They helped each other and Tyler and Steve often gave nice suggestions to the co-workers to enhance the workmanship. The staining process involved using mittens for getting extremely great painting on each rail post - a slow but superb finish. The rail posts look new! The deck is almost 30 years old and looks almost new! While they were finishing the staining of the deck, Tyler addressed a bowing fence issue we had wanted done for 7 years! He completed a creative solution immediately and after a little over an hour had the fence position really well! We instantly hired him to come back to do the roof of our carport. Tyler will get back to us with the estimate and plans for completing the job. Tyler will also address our front steps and help get the correct sealing to preserve it. We are amazed at the patience and professionalism by the TEAM. Tyler has become like a "son" to my wife Jackie - as she is a meticulous individual and we appreciate this and the kind demeanor immensely. The workmanship in what Quantum does is above and beyond what one would expect from a 5-star business."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

In the vast majority of cases, chain-link fences are less expensive than wood fences. Installing a wood fence costs anywhere from 20% to 30% more than a chain-link fence, or an average of $3,100, whereas a similarly sized chain-link fence will average around $2,400. Even with add-ons and additional protective finishes, a chain-link fence is very likely to cost you less than a wood fence. The only exception would be a split rail wood fence, which can cost about half the price of a chain-link fence or less.

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.

Both nails and screws are common in fence construction, including on pickets. Some builders prefer to use nails when connecting the pickets to the rails and screws when connecting the rails to the posts. However, the best option usually depends on the type of wood fencing and the variety of wood you choose.

There’s no definitive answer to this question because dog owners and experts are conflicted about the efficacy and morality of electric fences. However, physical fences are typically considered a better option since they provide guaranteed containment for your pup, provided they are tall enough, and your dog can’t dig under them. Physical fences can also provide privacy, which might stop your dog from barking at people or animals walking by. Physical dog fences tend to be more expensive, but most homeowners find them to be a better option overall.

When deciding to replace or repair your existing fence, consider the 20% rule that fence builders reference. This rule states that if more than 20% of your fence needs repair, you should skip the repair and replace it. Additionally, if your fence is nearing the end of its life, it's often best to replace it.

Repairing the fence is a good option when you have minimal damage or damage from a specific event versus wear and tear. Your fence repair professional can assess the damage and compare the repair price with the cost of a new fence.
