Top quality roofing and siding repair along with decking we strive for you happiness and satisfaction very small company for plenty of focus on your projects.

"I can't delete my solicited review from 2/2023, unfortunately. I paid Arron in full for a bathroom remodel and a screened in porch. He would disappear for months between contact, always had a dramatic excuse that would conflict with what he already said, and did this whole "aw, shucks" nice guy routine, always "dismayed" about someone else's ineptitude that led him to behave this way. He ended up disappearing after cobbing together some of the work. Outreach attempts go ignored. I've had to hire other people to come fix the disaster that he caused, and I will end up spending thousands to make it right. The shoddy work notwithstanding (who says that they can do a bathroom remodel when they don't even know to use plumber's tape around fixtures - flooded my basement), the job was not completed and Arron is busy soliciting other people to pay him while ignoring his obligation to us after I (naively) paid in full up front."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

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 bottom strand should sit between 12 to 15 inches from the ground. If you have a problem with small critters, you can aim for 8 inches. Three-strand fences should be 16 to 19 inches apart, four-strand fences should be 10 to 12 inches apart, and five-strand fences should be 8 and 10 inches apart.

Pallet fences come with built-in support through the fence posts you should install on each side of their vertical interior. Stand the fence upright and slide it onto the fence posts, then further support it with 2x4 wood boards that you drill across each point where two pallets connect side-by-side.

How long a fence lasts, including a split rail fence, will depend on the material from which it’s made. The average lifespan of a wood fence is about 15 to 20 years. However, split rail fences made out of premium materials, like composite, vinyl, steel, or aluminum, can last for 25 to 30 years or more, especially if you take good care of the material and carry out necessary maintenance.

Vegetable gardens can easily become a convenient food bank for your local animal population, whether it’s squirrels stealing fruit or rabbits munching on freshly grown veggies. If you want to keep those critters out, it helps to put a fence around your vegetable garden that’s at least a couple of feet tall to deter any animals from getting past it. Just make sure your fence doesn’t interrupt the amount of sunlight your garden needs to thrive.
