"There were some issues with my neighbors just two days before the fence was supposed to go up. Paul was very nice accommodating our issue. The fence looks great and we can now let our dog enjoy the backyard, as can we."
"Excellent. The tree roots had grown into the neighbor's fence which made the job more difficult. Raul was mindful of this and took care not to damage the fence. He was on time for the estimate appointment and for the removal of the stump. He is courteous and professional. I recommend him ."
"Mr. Serrano’s son, Erick, and his workers did a fantastic job installing the fence. They were prompt and professional. The fence is beautiful and we are pleased with the outcome. We highly recommend Serrano Fence & Son, Inc."
"Globe Fence was great to work with! Mike Jr. was responsive in scheduling and sending estimate, and made some very astute suggestions for fence style based on our location and overall aesthetic that were the perfect fit! The team are very responsive, and Debby was exceptionally lovely to work with! On installation day, the crew was prompt and efficient, removing chain link fencing between our property and the neighbors' and replacing two solid cedar privacy panels as well. They diplomatically managed a neighbor with a number of requests, and finished within the day with a beautifully finished new cedar fence! They were also very neat the fencing had to be carried through our home, and they were very careful when doing so, cleaning up when finished! I would highly recommend their team!!"
The lifespan of a picket fence largely depends on its material. Wooden picket fences typically last 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance, while vinyl and composite picket fences can last 20 to 30 years or more due to their resistance to weather, rot, and pests. Metal picket fences often exceed 30 years, especially when properly coated to prevent rust or corrosion.
Proper installation can make a big difference in your fence's maintenance needs. For example, wood fences that aren't installed correctly can be more likely to rot. While it's possible to DIY a fence installation, hiring a local fence company can mean much less work for you in the long run.
A professional fence installer will make sure your fence is positioned correctly and installed in a way that ensures longevity and limited upkeep requirements.
You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.
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.
Painting or staining protects fences from environmental damage, enhances durability, and improves curb appeal with a fresh, customized look.
