"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."
You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.
The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.
If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.
Costs depend on material quality, fence length and height, installation complexity, and customization choices, but they average $20-$40 per linear foot.
You'll notice that many projects that add value to your home involve increasing curb appeal. Adding an aluminum fence improves the style of your yard and the safety levels for pools, pets, and backyard playtime. You can also choose aluminum fence designs with unique ornamental features or paint the fence to match your home's style.
Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.
