"Noah worked with me on a price for this project that I was unhappy with prior to his arrival. I asked him to pull up pavers and relay them; this required him to level the ground again, clean the pavers, cut them to size, and set up mulch beds alongside. Through the process, Noah worked professionally and I was very happy with the results."

"As a military family, we have to rely on reviews to find good companies. I am happy to say that the positive reviews of Northern Light Structures are on par. In an area that has many unprofessional contractors, it was nice to find one that I can put my trust in. For those of you who are military spouses, this company will be a useful tool while the husband is away. I will use Northern Light Structures in the future for those jobs that just can't wait for a deployment to end. I am very happy with my experience with this company."

"CJ & K were quick to respond to my repair needs and finished the job in a timely fashion. The cost of my project was about half of what I had anticipated. They are reasonable and fair. They were also willing to do some extra "handyman" jobs while they were here. I will keep them in mind for future jobs and would recommend them to others."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

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.

The best type of temporary fencing depends on its intended purpose. For example, if you need it for added security, to ensure the safety of children and animals, or to keep pests out of a garden, the ideal material will differ. For simply warning people away from a construction project, plastic orange fencing may be sufficient. Barricade fencing is a good choice for blocking off small areas. If you need to protect an area from trespassing, theft, or vandalism, more robust security fencing is necessary. Once you understand the primary function, you can select the most durable and cost-effective material for your specific project and yard size.

You can use soil and gravel instead of concrete when setting fence posts. However, concrete is more durable and longer lasting, so it's worth considering if you want your fence to withstand the test of time. You should especially consider concrete if you live in a region that experiences severe weather, which can damage your fence.
