"It was a great pleasure to work with Paul. He is very considerate and accommodating. He communicated very well before and during the installation. He offered life time warranty of the fence, which provides peace of mind. Highly recommend!"
"Would hire Adam again in a minute. He built a 150 foot wood fence and rerouted an underground pipe for us. He is a great communicator: responded quickly, visited site to review the same day!, started project within days of first contact, and calmly dealt with some unusual neighbor issues. He is talented: he and his partner were efficient with their work, careful and thoughtful (searching for unknowns underground), and tidy - cleaning up after each work day and at end of project. As important, these two are kind, friendly, and trustworthy. Wonderful experience!"
"Atlas Fence constructed, on site, a new wooden single gate (to replace the badly decayed gate), ensuring that the style of the gate was fully compatible with the style of the existing fence. Atlas Fence also repaired the non-aligned gate by shaving ½ inch off the gate edge. Atlas Fence cleaned up and removed all debris. Overall, Atlas Fence performed this project in a workmanship fashion---a professional job all around!"
"Solid work, good experience. Serge gave me an estimate after I showed him what we needed and that number matched the final bill. He and his partner Nick were professional, communicated with me about any issues they discovered, such as the height of mirrors I asked them to set up, also a certain paint color and some other specifications. They even fixed up a faucet at no charge. Hard workers, nice guys. Recommended."
There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.
Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.
The cost to pressure wash a house ranges from $200 to $400 and unfortunately does not include fencing. That service will be an additional charge of between $150 and $350, depending on the size of your fence and the type of material it’s made of. This also applies for other services like pressure washing a patio or deck.
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.
Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.
The first step in choosing a reputable dog fencing company is to confirm that the professional has experience in your particular area and maintains positive reviews online. You should also check the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if they have accrued customer complaints in the past. Additionally, you can ask the following questions to qualify the pro:
Do you have experience installing the specific fence material I want?
Will you pull permits for the installation?
Will you help get a survey done to make sure I build on my property?
Do you have a list of referrals?
