"Mike was great! From the first phone call to the fence repair. Recent strong-spring winds damaged my fence. After several estimates, Mike had the best price and time frame for my fence repair. He was on time and very professional, great communication and service. I will not use anyone else and highly recommend Mike's Fencing! Vince Fetter"

"We hired ZZeo's to remove carpeting and to install a wood floor in our dining room, also to prep the ceiling and walls for paint, and then paint it all. We are extremely satisfied with the workmanship and very happy with the results. There was no fuss, no drama, just a job well done. We will hire ZZeo's for future projects and we recommend ZZeo's highly to others."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.

The lifespan of a fence can range from 5 to 50 years, depending heavily on the material, local climate, and how well it is maintained. For example, a wooden fence might last 7 to 15 years, while a vinyl fence typically lasts 20 to 30 years. Metal, composite, and glass fences have some of the longest lifespans. Proper maintenance, such as regular cleaning, inspections, and staining or sealing for wood, is key to extending the life of any fence material. Vinyl and composite are durable options that don't require sealing.

DIY is feasible with the proper tools and manual labor, though experienced installers ensure durability and precise alignment.

In most cases, a fence can only be built on your property with your consent. Not obtaining permission constitutes an encroachment and a violation of your property rights. However, exceptions may apply, such as when the fence is entirely within the property boundaries of the person putting it up and the fence complies with local zoning laws and regulations. If you think a fence infringes on your property or is not up to local standards, consult with local authorities or legal experts to address the issue and protect your property rights.
