"Joe was an absolute pleasure to work with. I am grateful for his services and professionalism. My huge dogs broke down iron fence. Under warranty, we'll see how long this aluminum fence meets the challenges. Truly love my new fencing!"

"York Fence is definitely a professional organization when it comes to customer service, installation and appearance. Their crew was prompt, organized and very methodical when it came to the installation itself. They cleaned up everything afterwards. Literally, there was nothing to be of concern about when this was over. More importantly, we achieved what we were looking for....privacy. I can't say enough good things about York Fence. Definitely a first class company who treats their customers right."

"Juan & Precise Fence provide a A+ job at a competing price. We had 600 feet of black aluminum and 400 feet of farmer fence installed at our home. Juan provide the skills do the entire job from start to finish. Other fence companies wanted us to hire other contractors to complete task such as clearing debris, tree limbs removal, leveling yard or constructing a farmer fence. Our fence is incredibly straight and level and was completed quickly. We’re incredibly thankful for Juan’s insights and recommendations. If you want a custom fence with personal care and attention along the way contact Precise Fence. Juan built and cared for the fence as if it was his own. Thank you!"

"We recently had a white vinyl fence installed around our yard. Mike was wonderful to work with from when he initially provided us with a quote and all the way through the project. He was very professional and took time to explain the materials and how the fence would be installed. He also provided us with a detailed quote including a plan of the proposed fence. We met with several other fence contractors, and Mike provided us with the most detailed plan by far. Victor and his crew installed our fence. They were punctual, hardworking, and very professional. Our fence looks amazing! So happy we went with Mike and Modern Fence!"

"Design fence technicians are very knowledgeable and skillful. Our old fence was removed and dispose of. The PVC fence was erected precisely. The time frame was also exact to the time stated. They also left the premises clean. I am highly satisfy with the work they accomplished."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Black chain-link fences last an average of 15 to 20 years. The thicker a fence's wire gauge, the longer it will tend to last. The black vinyl coating gives the fence rust and corrosion resistance, but its life span may be lower in wet, humid, or coastal climates where moisture or salty air can corrode the coating more quickly.

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. 

The depth of the fence posts depends on the height of your fence. If you’re installing a 6-foot fence, then digging 2-foot-deep holes for the fence posts will help ensure a secure installation. However, if you’re installing an 8-foot fence, the posts will need to be deeper than 2 feet to support the structure properly. Also, consider how far apart the fence posts should be to provide adequate support.

Who pays for a new fence between neighbors depends on its location relative to the property line. If you build the fence entirely on your property, you are solely responsible for the costs of installation, maintenance, and repair. If the fence is built directly on the property line, both neighbors are typically responsible for the costs. In this case, it is essential to consult with your neighbor beforehand to agree on a plan for payment. While you should always inform your neighbor of your plans in advance, you generally cannot force them to contribute financially unless there are specific local laws, such as in California, where both parties might be responsible for costs unless a different agreement exists. It's a good idea to get a property line survey to know the exact boundaries before building.

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.
