"AVP Fence did an outstanding job, at a very fair price. Paul was responsive, and the work got done very quickly. Part of the job involved replacing a section of fence, including a corner post, that had been crushed by a large fallen tree. AVP not only made the fence good as new – including replacing the post while the ground was frozen – but they also were willing to cut and and remove the tree to an unused area of our property. All-in-all, as good an experience as one could hope for. In future, AVP is the only company that I'll be calling for any work on my fencing. About a year earlier, we were considering creating an enclosed area in the yard for our dogs. We wound up deciding not to go forward with that project, but I worked with Paul at that time, too. He was incredibly patient with and responsive to changes that we made in the plans, and his proposed price was very reasonable. My experience with him then was so positive that I didn't hesitate to call him else for this later job, and I'm glad I did."

"We called for an estimate, Frank was there that same day, we hired them and the next day they arrived at 6:30 pm and got the job done! He was the man that came up for the estimate and the one who did the job with his brother and dad. We called other companies for quotes and either they never returned the call or couldn’t come to give us an estimate for a week or longer! They were extremely professional and had answers to all of our questions! A family-owned business is the way to go! Highly recommend them!!"

"Tyler was the first one to call me back out of maybe 10 contractors. I got a vibe right off the bat that he was a good guy. Got all the pricing and delivery address out of the way, and he delivered exactly what I needed within hours of the call. He dropped it exactly where we needed it. It was a great experience with Tyler, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing this type of service. Quick, accurate, and it is hard these days to get someone who is easy to work with, and comes through when he says he will."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

In most cases, a fence can only be built on your property with your consent. Not obtaining permission constitutes an encroachment and a violation of your property rights. However, exceptions may apply, such as when the fence is entirely within the property boundaries of the person putting it up and the fence complies with local zoning laws and regulations. If you think a fence infringes on your property or is not up to local standards, consult with local authorities or legal experts to address the issue and protect your property rights.

Generally, the height of your dog fence should be 3 times the distance from the ground to your dog’s shoulder. For most small breeds, a 4-foot high fence will be more than enough to keep them from jumping out. Medium-sized breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds will need at least a 5-6 foot fence to stay contained. Large breeds that are also excellent jumpers, such as Greyhounds, may need a 7-foot high fence. 

The cheapest fence to install is likely to be a wire fence, whether it’s hog wire or chicken wire. Closely following that is something repurposed that would be free to collect, like a DIY pallet fence. Most wire fences are available in large quantities at a low cost, so they’re great for homes with a tight budget.

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. 

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.
