"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."
"Very responsive and came fast. Made me feel comfortable when they have a price quote. The most reasonable price quote that I got out of 4-5 other quotes. They did an excellent job installing the fence. They made all the right decisions when trouble shooting how to place the fence. The entire staff was polite and finished the job quickly. Would highly recommend them."
"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!!"
Most homeowners don't need to inform their neighbors before constructing a fence, according to the law, but you will need to make sure that you’re building on the property line or on your side of the property line. Otherwise, the neighbor could complain, which would require you to tear down and reinstall the fence. In any case, keeping them in the loop is the neighborly thing to do!
Whether you inform your neighbors or not, always use property records and a land survey to ensure your fence stays within your property boundaries.
Issues include rust, loose posts, and damaged mesh. Regular maintenance prevents significant problems.
When choosing wood for a fence, consider your budget and geographic region. The most popular and common types of wood are cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine. Cedar is a top choice due to its natural durability, resistance to rot and insects, and budget-friendly price. Redwood is another durable, tried-and-true option, though it is typically more expensive. Pressure-treated wood, such as pine, is also a widely used and popular alternative. These materials are readily available at most hardware stores, which makes future repairs and replacements easier. Their accessibility and long-lasting performance make them excellent choices for most fence installation projects.
While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again.
The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire.
